Well, its the perpetual situation where we’re extrapolating from incomplete data. Without seeing what the telemetry showed, we’ve got no way of knowing exactly what was wrong with the gearbox and what would have happened.

I think this one has to be looked at very carefully – and it has to take into account the situation. If Rosberg hadn’t been given the information and his gerabox had let go, what would have been the consequences? […]

“Show me where in the rules it says you CAN’T mount weaponry on the car.”

To be fair, I think if theres anywhere that 3 metres is going to be a significant factor, it’s Monaco.

9/10 for a properlygood, combatative race.

1/10 for my choice on bets for the result this week. £6 spent, zero back!

What utterly spineless responses.

So, @keithcollantine, you write a betting column… What odds would you have put on Monaco and Bahrain being the top rated races at this point? ;-)

Reports of Rob and Felipe running into each others arms in slow motion remain unconfirmed…

I’d rather it was none, but if we have to do it due to the sheer stubbornness of Bernie, I’d rather that it was three races scattered throughout the season – say, Monaco, Spa and Abu Dhabi. That way it’s three […]

After stating this about Ecclestone, the judge continued to state that the head of the Catholic Church lives in Vatican city, and that bears are indeed known to defecate in wooded areas.

To be fair, I loved the sound of those engines from the start. I love hearing the turbos working and the way the burble.

I should hope the car feels like its underneath you, Kevin.

If it feels like its on top of you, something has probably gone very wrong.

I swear to god, what world does Bernie live in? To me the cars sound pretty damn good – especially on the footage the Beeb has put up on their site. They certainly don’t sound ‘Quiet’ and as Keith said the cars […]

Well, I think it’s just lovely that McLaren are paying tribute to one of their legendary drivers with this car.

…This car is inspired by James Hunt, right?

In all seriousness, how will this affect the temperature of the race? I’m wondering if it might make the tyres and cars perform a bit differently.

If that picture doesn’t end up as the next caption competition, theres no justice in the universe. ;-)

I suppose in a way, the biggest difference between Perez and Magnussen is that one is a longterm investment – and both Mclaren and red bull have shown that kind of investment can pay off.

At least it’s not lupus!

It’s never Lupus.

Amusing fact: Whilst Max Chilton was finishing last in the grand prix, both his brother Tom and the man whose ‘streak’ he broke, Monteiro, were winning race one and two respectively in the WTCC at Shanghai!
