    Mark Hitchcock commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix 1 week, 2 days ago

    Today was the first time they’ve really moaned about the tyre situation in commentary and I suspect they were told to do so by Sky because they think the fans want their opinions echoed back from the TV.

    Mark Hitchcock commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix 1 week, 2 days ago

    First part of the race was good when it looked like there were a few drivers fighting for the top spots, but as soon as Alonso got out front it was a foregone conclusion.
    Boring couple of hours. Bring on Monaco […]

    Mark Hitchcock commented on the post, Vettel apologises to Webber: “It’s not a victory I’m proud of” 1 month, 4 weeks ago

    I’m not a fan of team orders, and would rather the drivers are allowed to race. But Webber has played number 2 to Vettel and not fought him so many times in the past, the least Seb could do is return the favour […]

    Mark Hitchcock commented on the post, Two DRS zones for every track bar Monaco and Suzuka in 2013 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    That’s the worst thing about DRS, the defending driver can’t….defend.
    Some of the most exciting racing happens when the driver in front is slower, but is driving fantastically to keep the faster car […]

    Wasn’t DRS supposed to be a stop-gap while the teams/rule-makers figured out a better way to reduce the dirty air?

    I can’t believe that even after a flag marshal comes here and explains the situation there are still people who think their opinions are more valid than the actual facts.

    Prisoner Monkeys’ reason for commenting on this site seems to be to go against popular opinion in every single instance so this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

    Mark Hitchcock commented on the post, Hamilton: “The dude didn’t even say sorry” 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    He knew exactly where he was going. Up the support pitlane.
    The only thing he didnt know was that the gate at the end was closed.

    Looked like another reckless and ill-thought-through move by Grosjean to me. Only a matter of time before he causes another big accident.

    @mnmracer
    No need for that is there?
    Everyone wants a close championship battle and at the moment that only looks like happening if Seb gets a bit of misfortune.

    @iamdanthomas I feel the same regarding Alonso. Used to hate him but in the last year or so I’ve really grown to like him, and with that have been able to more appreciate his driving skill.

    2. Only excitement was on the first lap and a couple of short battles in the midfield. Haven’t been that bored during a grand prix for a long time.

    @craig-o

    Prost I’ve not seen much of either but I always like seeing those names back in F1 cars

    I’m the other way round, I don’t like seeing famous names back in F1 unless they are able to live up to the […]

    I was fully expecting Reynolds to just stuff it down the inside at the last corner and hope for the best. What did he have to lose?

    @pamphlet If you want an example of how you’re wrong take a look at the list of fatalities in motorsport and ask yourself how many of those drivers’ names you even recognise, let alone are hailed as greats of the sport.

    Good attitude from Vergne. Many drivers jump out the car and start kicking off after a crash so it was good to see a mature reaction from him.

    @bullfrog It’s either a 00:30 or 01:30 start for the race (I’ve always been terrible with figuring out time differences…), and the race lasts about 6 and a half hours so the end of Bathurst and the start of the […]

    Completely agree regarding the technical staff at Merc playing more of a role in improving the car.
    If the Merc is fast out of the box next year then Hamilton can’t really take any credit. If it’s slow and […]
