    Girts replied to the forum topic Worst F1 Race in the group Group logoF1 1 day, 14 hours ago

    1997 Italian Grand Prix was the first really boring F1 race that I watched, the winner was decided in the pits and this was probably the most exciting moment of the race:

    Girts commented on the post, Will Mercedes escape sanction at FIA Tribunal? 1 day, 14 hours ago

    I think that Mercedes will be found guilty and will have to pay a considerable fine and lose some points in the constructors’ championship.

    It is pretty clear that FIA doesn’t agree with Mercedes’ view on the […]

    Girts commented on the post, It’s time Vettel had some bad luck, says Alonso 1 week, 6 days ago

    I think it’s fair to say that Vettel has simply been better than Alonso so far this season. The German has outqualified his team mate in every race by a considerable average margin, while Alonso lost to Massa […]

    Girts commented on the post, Showers expected through Montreal race weekend 1 week, 6 days ago

    Pirelli must have bad karma. Rainy practice sessions prevented them from testing a new hard tyre compound last year and tomorrow doesn’t look like the best day for testing the new ‘anti-delamination’ tyres either.

    Girts commented on the post, Ecclestone wants changes to Canadian GP venue 1 week, 6 days ago

    I fully agree with @GeeMac ‘s COTD. I have been reviewing the 2004 F1 season lately and one has to be mad or a diehard Schumacher / Ferrari fan to call it a great season but I miss some aspects of it today, […]

    Girts commented on the post, Ecclestone wants changes to Canadian GP venue 1 week, 6 days ago

    I think Benson’s article, which is really rather an opinion piece, contains some useful analysis. The suggestion that Alonso might be losing it is really very speculative as one cannot draw such a conclusion just […]

    Girts commented on the post, Bottas says he’s “more or less” matching Maldonado 2 weeks, 1 day ago

    @hotbottoms I agree with you. I think it’s just a simple, honest answer. I doubt if many of us are sure about what they are going to do in 2018.

    Girts commented on the post, Mallya: Monaco “silenced critics” ahead of 100th race 2 weeks, 1 day ago

    I believe that Mallya’s team have been doing a great job for many years and deserve perhaps even more praise than Newey and his boys at Red Bull. I think that Force India have always hired the best available […]

    Girts commented on the post, Lotus would have welcomed chance to test – Boullier 2 weeks, 4 days ago

    I’m sure that any team would have been happy to have an extra test even if Pirelli claim that Mercedes gained nothing from it. As I understand, Pirelli didn’t pay all the costs. Why would Mercedes have wasted […]

    Girts commented on the post, Lotus would have welcomed chance to test – Boullier 2 weeks, 4 days ago

    @robbie

    Problem is Lotus is a top 3 team and I still say any of the top 3 teams doing this test would have made for far more controversy than there is.

    Mercedes are only 3 points behind Lotus in the […]

    Girts commented on the post, Pirelli deny tyre test favoured any team 2 weeks, 5 days ago

    Delamination, which only occurred on four occasions and always because of on-track detritus, has never put the drivers’ safety at risk, but does risk harming Pirelli’s image. This is why the company decided to […]

    Girts commented on the post, Boullier defends Grosjean after Monaco crashes 3 weeks ago

    As for the secret tyre test, I think it was unfair to offer it exclusively to Mercedes, no matter if the test was legal or not. It is a top team fighting for wins and possibly the world championship. It would have […]

    Girts commented on the post, Boullier defends Grosjean after Monaco crashes 3 weeks ago

    It’s just normal that team bosses defend their drivers in the public eye even if they know that they’re wrong. I’m sure that Boullier has had a serious talk with Grosjean behind closed doors and that Grosjean […]

    Girts commented on the post, Drivers change helmet designs for Monaco weekend 3 weeks, 5 days ago

    @younger-hamii I really like Hamilton’s helmet, it’s so sweet. I think it’s a great way to show your feelings for those who mean most to you.

    I also love di Resta’s helmet design, it reminds me of cherries :)

    Girts commented on the post, Ferrari join Lotus in criticising tyre rules change 1 month ago

    Ferrari are right even if it’s not hard to see the reasons for their ‘good memory’ – they have won two of the last three races and probably wouldn’t be as competitive with more durable tyres.

    I personally don’t […]

    That’s exciting news, I wonder if they plan to supply engines to any other teams, too.

    I don’t get Button’s complaints. It’s like saying that pit stop blunders or driving mistakes shouldn’t be broadcast because spectators are meant to see only the bright side of the sport, some kind of utopia, and […]
