    clay commented on the post, Ecclestone: F1 put money into New Jersey race 1 week, 2 days ago

    Maybe talk to Fernando about Monza ’06 then…

    clay commented on the post, Can Mercedes convert front row into victory? 1 week, 2 days ago

    Interesting to see that unlike most other races the Mercedes are relatively slow in a straight line. Think they might be taking a line out of the RBR play book and running high downforce? Could explain their pace […]

    clay commented on the post, Win still possible for Mercedes, says Hamilton 3 weeks, 4 days ago

    Disagree totally with COTD. Look at the racing at the moment compared to even 2010. Way more passing, more pit stops creating strategy options, tyres designed to degrade quickly to spice up the racing, these are […]

    clay commented on the post, Grosjean: Budget a priority for Lotus 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    As I’ve said previously had Vettel always been a strident opposer of team orders then I would have no problem with Vettel now being lauded for his actions. Fact is that at no point has Horner, Vettel-lover Marko […]

    clay commented on the post, Were Red Bull & Mercedes right to use team orders? 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    Teams generally only use team orders (certainly in the case of this weekend) to hold position after the final stops, in order not to stress the cars in the final part of the race. I get that. Especially when, as […]

    clay commented on the post, Red Bull and Mercedes not the only ones resorting to team orders 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    After a bit of thought, here’s my take on the whole team orders thing, especially with Vettel. If Vettel had come out after the race and said something like this, the whole situation would be very, very different: […]

    clay commented on the post, Webber: Vettel will be ‘protected’ in team orders row 1 month, 4 weeks ago

    Rubbish. Gilles Villeneuve is definitely no weakling yet what was the incident that led to him eventually being killed in the following race – Imola 1982, where Didier Pironi IGNORED TEAM ORDERS TO HOLD POSITION, […]

    Can I ask what are you smoking @Clay ?

    Crack. Clearly

    clay commented on the post, Sutil tipped to claim final seat at Force India 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    The loosing control makes him unsuitable for F1 to me.

    As opposed to what Michael has done on track throughout his career? Adelaide ’94, Jerez ’97, Hungary 2010…

    Losing control when under pressure was a […]

    clay commented on the post, Sutil tipped to claim final seat at Force India 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    As an aussie the term ‘have a crack’ means to have a go at something, to be given an opportunity, at least it does down under.

    I laughed for a full ten minutes upon reading this…

    Good luck outrunning those […]

    clay commented on the post, Sutil to make F1 comeback with Force India 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    Sutil vs Fisi – who was quicker?
    Glock vs Trulli (Toyota 2009) – who was quicker?
    Now as a yardstick Fisi was an above average driver but that’s all. If you were going back to a driver with experience why pick […]

    clay commented on the post, Teams’ last chance to prepare in pre-season testing 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    Sutil has had his chance, and he has been slow when compared to anyone with talent. FI would be better off with the best driver they can get who might just bring them in more cash through better results – radical […]

    clay commented on the post, Barcelona test one in over 200 pictures 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    I’m really looking forward to this season, the last of the screaming NA engines. However, which car do we all think is the best looking this year? For me, livery-wise I love the new Caterham colours, but I’ve […]

    clay commented on the post, ‘Teams to blame’ for not getting F1 revenue share 3 months ago

    I think back to 2009 and the proposed breakaway series. Realistically if all the teams work together, as Whitmarsh suggests, but together set up a rival series where the income is evenly distributed and is enough […]

    clay commented on the post, Some pay drivers “not good enough for F1″ – Whitmarsh 3 months, 1 week ago

    What a load of rubbish. A single speck of dust costing half a second? If this is true, and I highly doubt it, imagine the seconds a lap that things like tyre marbles, oil specks and squashed bugs must cost the […]

    clay commented on the post, Perez hopes to emulate Hamilton 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    Realistically the only female driver who would rate a mention as I see it is Patrick. She would do no worse than some of the pay drivers F1 has seen over the last decade on track, and you can imagine the sort of […]

    clay commented on the post, Adrian Newey drives two F1 cars he designed 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    The CG901 is one of my all time favourites – awesome colour scheme, and interesting to hear newey state he thought they might have been able to “do a Red Bull” had the team not folded. Could you imagine a week […]

    clay commented on the post, McLaren: ‘We made it too easy for Vettel’ 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    You know what this whole saga reminds me of? The pre-Schumi era at Ferrari. Drivers like Berger, Prost, Mansell & Alesi were all there, all of whom were very quick (Nigel and Alain being as good as Alonso imho) […]

    clay commented on the post, Button doubts wisdom of Hamilton’s Mercedes move 7 months, 1 week ago

    But let’s not forget that the technical team at Mercedes that Lewis is going to is infinitely stronger than the BAR team Button left for back in 2003. At that time Button also had few other options, for example he […]

    clay commented on the post, Vettel takes championship lead with hat-trick of wins 7 months, 1 week ago

    Think back to the debacle that was Alonso at McLaren. I seem to recall talk that RBR offered him a contract but he was determined to go to Ferrari. What has happened since? Brawn won their titles through creative […]
