F1 4 days, 16 hours agoPersonally, I think that Mansell is a good shout, he was in an incredibly strong era. Ditto Hamilton.
I know that I’ll get pilloried for this, but I think JV is a reasonable contender. Yes, everyone always […]

James_mc commented on the post, Massa and Gutierrez given penalties for blocking 1 week, 4 days ago
I thought it was a bit unfair on Massa. He was half-way through a long corner which would be quite difficult to come to the outside after being on the inside without risking going off. Although it could be argued […]

James_mc commented on the post, Ecclestone: Bahrain “stupid” to put on race 1 month ago
It is unfair as the gearbox failed due to a knock-on effect of something else failing.
However, aside from the fact that it would be difficult to judge when a gearbox failure was caused by “external factors”, […]

Well you say that, but Senna accrued his titles over 4 years as opposed to Vettel doing it over 3..

I’m going to reserve judgement and perhaps remember this particular article with comments. I have a suspicion that McLaren will not do nearly as bad as some commentators think!

F1 2 months, 1 week agoKeith mentioned 1997, 1998 was pretty good too however.
I really liked 1999 which was the title that noone wanted to win (H-H F was driving magnificently in a Jordan of all things having a mid-season title […]

James_mc replied to the forum topic Who was the worst driver ever to win a World Championship? in the group
F1 2 months, 4 weeks agoWell. If I have to go with drivers which I have seen, then it is certainly Button by some margin in my opinion.
If we extend it to drivers I haven’t seen, then I’d have to say Hawthorn or Hunt.

F1 2 months, 4 weeks agoThe European (Luxembourg?) GP from 1999 was pretty amazing, the race that no-one wanted to win!
And 1996 Monaco GP – the race that no-one wanted to finish!
The 1998 Austrian GP was good too, a storming drive […]

It does sound to me from those comments that RBR have been modelling a passive DRS and discovered that it could get triggered by external factors.

Off-topic 3 months, 2 weeks agoI (obviously!) want Scotland to win!
I think last year if Scotland had won the Calcutta Cup, the positions of the two teams may well have been reversed.
Personally I can’t see past France.
An aside: […]

Like a lot of people, I never rated Piquet particularly highly. Then again he is a 3x WDC. And it should be noted he is the only man to have won 2 championships in a car which did not win the constructors title in […]

If the rumours of an Austrian GP had come to fruition, I would have bought a ticket. Sadly it doesn’t look like it’ll happen.
However the 3 day GA ticket for Spa does look mighty tempting…!
