    Journeyer commented on the post, Mercedes and Pirelli to face FIA Tribunal today 1 hour, 51 minutes ago

    @colossal-squid COTD right there. Not sure you’ll get it, in light of the Tribunal hearing that will happen today (and the eventual comments avalanche that’ll come with it), but that just sums everything up so […]

    TMF commented on the post, Pirelli scraps plan to race new tyre at Silverstone 1 week, 1 day ago

    @funkyf1 @colossal-squid the media does what the fans demand. if we weren’t so receptive for gossip / drama and sensationalism they’d see no need to blow things out of proportion – so in a sense I blame ourselves. […]

    Deej92 commented on the post, Horner: Mercedes had “enormous and unfair advantage” 2 weeks, 3 days ago

    @colossal-squid I completely agree with this post.
    I fully see the view on current racing, where the amount of tyre conservation is too high and Pirelli have gone too far with the tyres. Pirelli could perhaps […]

    Yes, I see it much the same @colossal-squid

    @colossal-squid

    I don’t think we appreciate how good things really are at the moment.

    @colossal-squid Same as I. But I wouldn’t mind the other driver you’d mentioned being jettisoned into the distance

    @colossal-squid Sorry for messing up your name :)

    @colossal-squid

    +1
    Monaco is a great circuit. Just because it doesn’t allow for 50 overtakes in a race doesn’t mean it doesn’t produce good racing.

    Personally I don’t really care for the glitz and […]

    Vettel would have won that race dominantly regardless of Alonso’s troubles.

    (@colossal-squid)(@commendatore)

    It’s incredibly reductive to state that Vettel’s victory was purely down to luck

    I agree, he also clearly had twice the grip of everyone else.

    As ever.

    @colossal-squid – I’m calling the double standards brigade, this is a very serious case! :P

    @colossal-squid It seems to me that by your last sentence you’d conceded the point you objected to strongly at the beginning of your comment.

    OmarR-Pepper commented on the post, Webber and Raikkonen 2014 “candidates” – Mateschitz 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    @colossal-squid Kimi did it at the first shot. Kimi got nine victories in 2 years, the same number than Alonso in 3 years… In his first 2 years, Kimi got 21 podiums, and Alonso in 2 years got 20.
    In the final […]

    @colossal-squid

    I don’t think it’s friendship Vettel’s after

    Neither do I. What Vettel is after is Schumi’s Record of 7 WDC’s, and he’s not going to win 8 WDC by letting Webber waste vital points (let’s face […]

    @colossal-squid @keithcollantine +1, I completely agree. If jenson is to be blamed for this year’s poor pace of the McLaren, then Alonso should be blamed for the slow car Ferrari had last year. This thing is […]

    @aka_robyn, @colossal-squid +1! Schumacher in particular moved the game forward, and ever since everyone has been trying to mimic that. Kimi seems a tad more relaxed about it though!

    BasCB commented on the post, Renault “frustrated by lack of recognition” for success 3 months, 1 week ago

    Not to mention that branding the team “Infiniti Red Bull racing” is not going to pull attention to the fact that its in fact Renault powering the bull @colossal-squid!

    @colossal-squid, didn’t Hamilton score more points than anyone else in the second half of the 2009 season? So if he has a whole like that, he will challenge for the title.
