COTD!

He was lucky not to get a penalty for running Senna off the road

Yet another temporary street circuit for yet another temporary investment. Before you know it, we will have more bland street circuits in the calendar than proper, permanent racing facilities.

This is a very sad and unfortunate accident. I wish Maria all the best with her recovery.

I think this accident shows that in-season testing should occur at race-tracks, and get rid of this ‘straight line […]

Their first win was with Vettel at Monza (the year it was really, really wet). Maybe they feel that their best chance of a race win or a high scoring points position is going to be in a race that is wet so are […]

maybe that was the reason Schumacher missed his braking point? ;)

Massa is surely going to become delusional if he doesn’t get out of Ferrari. It’s hurting his career and everyone’s perception of him with these latest comments. He’s obviously not enjoying driving for Ferrari- […]

good call. I wouldn’t mind having the pre2009 Massa back. A lot less of the ‘whiney and blame Hamilton and everyone else’ attitude wouldn’t go a miss

Slight glitch in the poll their, Keith. The poll allows you to vote to replace Felipe Massa with Felipe Massa.

I’m not a huge fan of the current F1 street circuits (i.e. Singapore and Valencia). However, I think this track has great potential: it is very hilly from turns 4 – 14; there is a high speed final sector. Also, […]

My hand is certainly up! Can’t choose between Hamilton or Maldonado. Chose Maldonado in the end because it was his first win, preserved the tyres and held back Alonso in the race, and was pretty quick most of the […]

From the Barrichello article above, plus there was a post about it on the BBC F1 website http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/gossip/

I really hope Mark Webber doesn’t move to Ferrari unless he is No.1 driver. It would not be logical for him to move to Ferrari anytime soon as Alonso is their No. 1 driver for the next few years (3 or 4 I think?) […]

9/10 I was against the race going ahead due to all the politics and fighting in the background etc, but watched it purely from the perspective of the racing and the championship- and I’m glad I did watch it. The […]

I really can’t wait to get this weekend over and done with. It feels really weird that we are hardly talking about the usual stuff, like the championship battle, teams, drivers, cars. Yes, it’s interesting in the […]

I think the fact we are questioning whether or not to go to Bahrain for various reasons is enough for the race to be cancelled. If Formula 1 is so consicous of it’s squeaky clean image, why is it wanting to stage […]

Being at university, I cannot watch the Sky races live and will have to watch the Sky races via the BBC extended highlights later in the day. I watched the Qualifying and Race sessions on the BBC’s extended […]

There should be a button for ‘none of the above’. It’s a shame that the cars have turned out like this.

Agreed with the chrome. I don’t like it that much any more either. I however doubt that it’ll change any time soon, for example, back to the white and red of the marlboro days as it might look like a Ferrari (in […]
