    Vettel’s 2014 = Schumacher’s 2005?

    As I had hinted at earlier in this thread (which was last year!), this is precisely what happened.

    Also, if the similarities between Schumacher and Vettel continue in future seasons, will Sebastian ever win another world title?

    It depends how you see it. I think Vettel is now aiming for a Schumacher 1996 rather than a Schumacher 2006 type of year. After all, Vettel in 2015 is entering Ferrari at the same time Schumacher did in 1996 – age 27.

    7. Do they broadcast coverage online? If so please post link/s. Pitlane and onboard feeds are available through racematelive.com. It doesn’t ask for subscription info, so may be geolocked.
    8. Please supply any other relevant information such as alternative viewing options – Fox Sports has F1 rights for the entire Southeast Asia region, but prices vary by country (and cable operator).

    I have been experiencing this as well. Been posting a lot on the Aus GP posts, and I do get tagged by those who reply to me. But no notifications.

    @jackysteeg I just hope AFDC makes it to F1. If he doesn’t it may just prove how unlucky 13 is.

    But it has had a history of bad luck too (in the pre-F1 era), which caused the ACF to drop 13.

    @colossal-squid Yes, I’m thinking the same. I hope and pray he will pull through.

    @vonhoff Not sure, but that could be Gerard Saillant, a very good friend of Michael’s and Jean Todt’s. He was the guy who treated Michael through his 1999 leg injury.

    Here’s my list:
    2000: Japan (Schumi ending the Ferrari drought in a straight fight)
    2001: Malaysia (Ferrari comeback!)
    2002: Australia (Points for Minardi!!!)
    2003: Britain (That race had everything – including raving lunatic)
    2004: Italy (Another Ferrari comeback!)
    2005: Japan (Duh.)
    2006: China (Schumi’s last win was just epic)
    2007: Canada (Lewis win AND Super Aguri fighting into the points – what’s not to like?)
    2008: Brazil (Hated the ending, but by golly that was a RACE)
    2009: Australia (The way Brawn stunned everyone that weekend)
    2010: Britain (But to be honest, I don’t remember a specific individual race from that year)
    2011: Canada (Rain break or otherwise)
    2012: Europe (Valencia went out in style)
    2013: Monaco (Nico handled that race to perfection)

    Full statement from resort is there (and the translation has been reported on BBC too). Let’s hope the news stays positive.

    @colossal-squid Amen to that. And amen again.

    BBC and Sky are reporting it, so the incident must be legit. What we don’t know at this point is how serious the injuries are, if at all.

    It’s been taken off YouTube – and moved to Vimeo.

    @matt90 Lotus did not race in F1 with engines of their own construction (partnering with Ford, Renault, and Honda among others). So they are not F1 manufacturers for me.

    For me, in F1 terms, a manufacturer is a team making its own chassis AND engine (as well as road cars, obviously). So for the purposes of this ranking, McLaren is not included, as is Renault’s success as an engine (but not chassis) builder and supplier.

    1. Ferrari
    2. Renault
    3. Mercedes
    4. Alfa Romeo
    5. Maserati
    6. Honda
    7. BMW
    8. Porsche
    9. Toyota
    10. Jaguar

    Just a hunch, this MAY be the 2013 FIA Gala video. Had similar title/format last year. Will be shown 4 times on Christmas Day on Sky Sport Italia. Please help record, Italian friends! :)
