  • I think Honda is testing Bruno Lali ( nee Senna) with a view to a drive. Yes Fisi should go, he really is stinking the place up. Held up Raikkonen for 4 laps FFS!!! Unfortunately it seems that Force India have resigned him for next year.
  • Yes I can't see Massa pullit off, even if F1 is if backwards. TOIT must face up to the folly of hiring a guy who's incapable of racing in the wet. The Championship was lost at Monaco, Silverstone and Monza. You've got to wonder how they'll do next…
  • I'm not so sure, yes he has the ppoints lead but if he races like that everytime he's put under pressure he'll blow it .....again. Massa has gone up in my estimation. Punting Clewlis has laid down a marker that he'll be no pushover.
  • As usual ghosty you are spot on. Grsosjean and Maldonado are both prodigies. Can't understand why they have not been given chances. Lets see who the boys from Faenza plump for!
  • Honda have already told Barrichello that he could look elsewhere for a drive. Outperforming the lacklustre Button is hardly a reason to keep him. I think there will be trend in F1 now to go for young turks. If Senna beats Button next year he can lo…
  • Questions need to be asked of the TOIT mangement. Why would you perservere with a release system that has failed for the second time. Bin it and use a lollipop. I would not put any money on Massa delivering the championship. The next 3 races could …
  • Yes Lets give it up for il Maestro!!!
  • PPS, looks like Clewlis's penalty had a good effect. Drivers cutting the chicane gave the place back and waited till the subsequent corner before launching their next attack. Its important to remember that the run off areas are a safety feature, if…
  • As far as I'm concerned the team personel at Faenza represent the spirit of Minardi. Talented people who just need investment to show their true ability. Massimo on TV was just great. A lights to flag victory in the wet, was that good or what. And …
  • Viges on this one we have to disagree. If you look at the footage, Hamilton had enough space behind Raikonnen to make the chicane. The reason he missed it was that he was carrying too much speed. Had he attempted to make it I have no doubt he too wo…
  • Yea I think the Championship is satcked against Marenello. For some unthinkable reason Bridgestone are bringing super hard tyres for the remaining races, in addition they'll be racing in the far east in typhoon season and its likely to be wet in Bra…
  • Dump the following; Rythmic gymnastics, Synchronised diviving Synchronised swimming BMX biking Beach volley ball Windsurfing Softball The Madison, thats got to be a gambling cartels dream
  • Yes the TOIT is the car that the remaining tracks should favour. Not sure what piece of crap Mr Tilke has produced for Valencia.
  • Massa's drive was pure unadulterated shite. When I saw Clewlis picking up the tow I said, Massa has got to stay on the inside, stay on the inside, stay on the ******* inside. So what does he do, he pulls over and gives Hamilton the inside line. That…
  • I think it was a case of Clewlis panicking when he saw Kubica go past him in the pit lane. Did the same thing in Brazil when Alonso passed him at the start. Not the finished article. Those pundits comparing him to Senna need to start taking their m…

  • Good God man you cannot be serious. What credibility can he still have. I'm afraid anyone looking to head up the Federation International de Automobiles must be like Caesar's wife...beyond reproach.
  • Who was it that said 'I'd rather be lucky than good'? Have to agree with Roo some pretty poor driving in general. Stick a fork in Piquet 'cos he's just about done!
  • An Opus Magnum Mr Vigars. Congratulations on a great book!
  • Lets hope not. F1 cannot afford to lose anymore teams. The specialist press are stating that the talks are still ongoing.
  • Well said sir! I am baffled as to how Massa managed to spin the car at the exit of the apex. Is his car control that bad? Anyone hoping that Toyo fails is wasting his time. They were quick at both circuits and were capable of running with the Macl…
  • Dear Bish, welcome to the forum on behalf of all the members. PS you might want to keep any support for the drinks company to yourself.
  • Personally, and I don't say this lightly, I would sell my soul to put GCM back in charge!
  • I can't see Stoddart getting anywhere near a Formula 1 team. Where will he find the money. Its not as though he will be handed STR for free as was the case with Minardi. And one's not even mentioning the additional baggage that will accompany him. …
  • No real news. Seems that Mateschitz was used a the broom the get Stoddart out of the FIA's hair. He's clearly been shortchanged though, as a team without its own infrastructure is noy worth 80 million Euros.
  • I don't know how long Massa's contract is for, but I doubt he'll still be with TOIT next year. Todt is out of the team and Di Montezemalo has never been a fan. Piquet junior, least said the better. Toyota look pretty sharp. They're not that far off…

  • Too knackered to watch the race live. ^ finishers, we are gonna have a roller coaster season. Thank god all the driver aids are gone, it now looks like the drivers have to earn their corn. Malaysia should provide a true picture of the level of compe…

  • WTF!!! No Minardi in GP2, RJ, release the news hounds and tell us what's happening. Put Vigars on it he can always root out a story!!!
  • That 2 year grace period was initially agreed and then some teams decided not to adhere to the agreement. Customers looks good in theory but in Reality one ends up with a spec racing series and no-one will watch that!
  • That would be the preferred option. The Brit hacks seem to be jumping on the PDLR option. Hardly a threat to Hamilton. Can Macca really afford to throw all their eggs into the Hamilton basket? Lets face it De La rosa is not going to win any races!
  • 4eva, I've got some swampland you might be interested in buying!
