Could Lewis have let the Force India’s unlap themselves to try and then catch Vettel on the last lap?

Crofty was commentating that Vettel might be caught and lose more places but the Force India’s finished just […]

I remember a number of years ago another driver had the similar “let me overtake or crash” approach, his name was Ayrton Senna.

I didn’t know Moss from ‘The IT Crowd’ did racing commentary!!!

How close was Lewis from being taken out in Sochi?!?!

Also the Austria video really highlights, for me, the fact Rosberg made little attempt to turn in at all.

Lewis has now won a race in every year he’s entered F1 (10).

Does anyone know if this is a record? It must be close if it’s not.

Unfortunately, as I understand, the promoters and sponsors of F1 want the qualifying change so the FIA is sort of forced to look like they’re doing something to change the old format through fear of a backlash.

I have to disagree with Keith’s comment in the article. I feel the use of Red Bulls almost neon red logo will definitely make it easier to distinguish between them and Toro Rosso.

I had to vote for Renault, I […]

With regards to the hampered view of drivers, surely the ‘boffins’ of F1 can come up with a clear / opaque solution to provide the same safety with minimal visual impairment?

If the Manor cars are competitive enough to get involved I expect some penalties from their drivers, they’re not used to trying overtakes!

In 2013, he said about Vettel:
I tried to imagine what it would be like if I was winning races the way he is winning races. Me, I don’t want to be able to be that far ahead, I want to be able to fight with him o […]

I like this idea. Tilke should design a circuit with forgotten great corners like Peraltada.

I can’t think of any others off the top of my head but I’m sure between you guys you could come up with a great track layout.

Had Kvyat not crashed and the second safety car not happened Rosberg would’ve won easily. Mercedes misjudged things for Lewis only for circumstances to swing back in his favour. No conspiracies, just bad judgement […]

9/10

I was tinkering with giving a 10 however it lacked the only two things which would’ve made it perfect.

i – A surprise winner (Hamilton didn’t look like winning until the end but he was favourite going […]

I was tempted to give it an 8 for the constant battles going on throughout the field. However, the as the battle for the win ended abruptly and the battle for 2nd did too I can’t give it that higher rating.

I […]

Would that make overtaking harder?

I think we need a serious fight for the win as we’ve been robbed of one for most of the season.

Singapore, as someone mentioned in an earlier article, was simply a change of car dominating at the front. Sure […]

Hamilton drove a perfect race but a mistake in qualifying means he doesn’t get my vote.

I voted for Verstappen in the end, he drove a great race and provided a few excellent overtakes without making mistakes. […]

I thought this too, just counted all the potential Ferarri teams and it makes 6 not 7;
Sauber
Marussia
Ferarri
Red Bull
Toro Rosso
Haas

I was just looking at total wins and if I’m not mistaken, since the start of 2007 Lewis Hamilton & Sebastien Vettel have won 50.6% of all races!

Race: 160
LH: 40
SV: 41

Ricciardo for me. At the back of the grid through no fault his own and recovered excellently to salvage a few points.

I would have gone for Hamilton for the Grand Slam but with Kimi stalling on the line and […]
