  • Two thirds of the way through and my advice is either borrow it, or get it on Kindle. It won't be a treasured tome on the bookshelf in hard copy. The truth-telling is good to read, but there isn't really much that surprises, because it isn't so dif…
  • Oh dear...........You would then have to wear an Akubra, deliberately limit yourself to a 500-word vocabulary, spend all your savings on enormous sideband aerials for said 'Ute', try not to look stupid with huge kenworth mudflaps dragging behind the…
  • Hmmm....that Mercedes relationship did not end well at all.
  • Youtube it, or it didn't happen. Try to use a good quality mellon baller mate.
  • Oz, the Calais V was definitely in the frame. There isn't a better value luxury vehicle available. It's problem in this case is that it was the sensible choice. I've been making sensible vehicle purchasing decisions for as long as I can remember. …
  • One RARELY does anything else. So I am making an announcement tucked away in this thread. Yes, I'm off to Sydney, and taking my bloody time about it too. That's not news. As this is a transition, I wont be fully moved until September/October. Now t…
  • Watch it.............................if you can
  • I'd be careful using that reference guide Stan. his terms are more contemporary, but I'll leave you to it. Got to the Mercedes bit, and there are some interesting stories there. He is quite self-deprecating as far as his attitude at the time is conc…
  • Very, very sad. A very real talent becomes a footnote. As a parent, there is hurt whenever a child goes before their time.
  • I'm only up to the early Formula Ford years. Not very interesting so far, but whose childhood actually is? Actually I can answer that. David Niven's autobiography 'The Moon's a Balloon' is so funny, from childhood, to the age where he wrote it. One…
  • Oh yes. They happen to put the replays on here before lunch on Sunday mornings which coincides with my exercise so I've watched a couple. Very slow. The drivers try hard but there is not much there. Commentators try to build up the tension by compar…
  • One looks at those comments and thinks about this season and it really is quite bad. Boring races, mindless formula, pay-to-piss attitude, they do seem to be looking for ways to kill this thing. Thank god there is Formula E to show us that there are…
  • Yuck! Oz is a doggie, doesn't mean he does it like..................never mind. Here is something. Journalists, like politicians need to consider everything they say as being out of context. I'm gonna keep this one: "I don't know about you (wel…
  • Didn't see it. Thanks again channel 10. I'm basically out of touch with this entire season. no idea what is going on. I can't even sign up to get the cable F1 rubbish because i have to move house in September. What a write-off

  • Mate, I've been to Almere. Was (maybe is) HQ for Leaseplan. How on earth can anyone live there? Drab, uninspired grey office and apartment blocks rising out of the reclaimed, treeless Zuider Zee, and all wrapped in mist and grey sky. Makes me shudd…
  • Grosjean at fault for me. The boy raced well, though he does show tendencies of all the young ones to have little patience and even less thought when it comes to passing someone who is slower.

  • This is turning into the season that never was. Look at the plethora of quality drivers just going around and not participating. Time to admit that someone has got this whole engine thing very, very wrong. Didn't see the race of course. Thanks to o…

  • What a crap looking site. You could've at least tried.
  • Boring, and for F1, more than a little bit embarrassing. How did so many of these folks get this so wrong? We expected this race 12 months ago. But after a whole year of development, this is what they come up with? Williams already unhappy with 'B…

  • yes. That's all you can say apart from when did you ever hear a driver 'asking' for the sponsor cap. Fucking hilarious!
  • Was a pretty cool race. Britney boo-ed by Belgian Poms???? The crash was just silly mistake by petulant Rosberg, nothing more. Look at Vettel & Ricciardo at the same corner. Both speared off trying Kamikaze moves op the straight. These days eve…
    in Belgium Comment by Lease September 2014
  • According to the Melbourne sports minister, Webber's departure is why the event lost money (this time). Don't think anyone told him about Ricciardo. Give it time. This boy is going to be very big, and it will be a case of 'build it, and they will c…
  • Well, out of 5 anyway. The subjectivity of 'best driver' has the effect of polarising opinion around personality, agressiveness, fairness (or lack of it), and of course, getting to the front from down the back. The guys with the best cars can be a…
