James_mc commented on the post, Drivers change helmet designs for Monaco weekend 9 years, 8 months ago
Hamilton’s is a bit of an abomination. However, at least it is better than Dan Ricciardo’s. Surely he must be embarrassed with his “special Monaco helmet” generally consisting of an advert for a country?

Personally, I think that Mansell is a good shout, he was in an incredibly strong era. Ditto Hamilton.
I know that I’ll get pilloried for this, but I think JV is a reasonable contender. Yes, everyone always remembers his appalling performances in the early 2000s, he was brilliant in 1996/7. I would certainly rate him above 1996 team-mate Hill and…[Read more]

James_mc commented on the post, Massa and Gutierrez given penalties for blocking 9 years, 8 months ago
I thought it was a bit unfair on Massa. He was half-way through a long corner which would be quite difficult to come to the outside after being on the inside without risking going off. Although it could be argued […]
James_mc commented on the post, Ecclestone: Bahrain "stupid" to put on race 9 years, 9 months ago
It is unfair as the gearbox failed due to a knock-on effect of something else failing.
However, aside from the fact that it would be difficult to judge when a gearbox failure was caused by “external factors”, […]

They raced the 1961 I think USA GP under another name in protest at something or another, I think they were white and dark blue.
I suspect that there are others – I have a sneaking suspicion that there was once […]

Well you say that, but Senna accrued his titles over 4 years as opposed to Vettel doing it over 3..
James_mc commented on the post, McLaren will "look at anything" but see no quick fix 9 years, 10 months ago
I’m going to reserve judgement and perhaps remember this particular article with comments. I have a suspicion that McLaren will not do nearly as bad as some commentators think!
James_mc replied to the topic Favourite F1 season in the forum Formula One 9 years, 10 months ago
Keith mentioned 1997, 1998 was pretty good too however.
I really liked 1999 which was the title that noone wanted to win (H-H F was driving magnificently in a Jordan of all things having a mid-season title push) and it featured the race which noone wanted to win (1999 European GP when each successive leader slithered off in wet conditions!).

I was wondering this. The farcical thing was a supposedly left-wing president pouring money into the most capitalist sport in the world…..1

James_mc replied to the forum topic Who was the worst driver ever to win a World Championship? in the group F1 9 years, 11 months ago
Well. If I have to go with drivers which I have seen, then it is certainly Button by some margin in my opinion.
If we extend it to drivers I haven’t seen, then I’d have to say Hawthorn or Hunt.
James_mc replied to the forum topic Five-star races in the group F1 9 years, 11 months ago
The European (Luxembourg?) GP from 1999 was pretty amazing, the race that no-one wanted to win!
And 1996 Monaco GP – the race that no-one wanted to finish!
The 1998 Austrian GP was good too, a storming drive […]

It does sound to me from those comments that RBR have been modelling a passive DRS and discovered that it could get triggered by external factors.
