Kazuki Nakajima is sharing the car with Alonso and Buemi. Not Kobayashi.

Why are people not so understanding when writing about Sepp Blatter and how he has built soccer into a global franchise ? I am missing something ? Bernie Ecclestone has been getting away with murder for 30 years […]

That’s great news !! Mario Illien is a great engineer with a proven record of working with Newey. Now, if Mateschitz could sell his team and ride into the sunset , that would be even better !!!

So just go and take your money elsewhere. Sell your team to someone who can use Renault engines next year. It will be all the better for F1 and sportsmanship.

How do you spell “senile” in Russian ?

I totally agree. Ferrari and Mercedes are just not willing to be slandered and humiliated like Renault is by Marko/Mateschitz (I suspect Horner is not as opposed to Renault as these two are). Red Bull has scuttled […]

I remember the Hungaroring producing some of the best races ever. Damon Hill on the verge of winning in 1997 with his Arrow before being beaten to the flag by Jacques Villeneuve, Button victory in 2007, the first […]

I am not a big fan of Bernie’s management style but whoever has seen the movie “1” knows the tremendous job he has done to increase safety in Formula One. I would never suspect him of taking the death of a driver lightly.

Can’t wait to see the Red Bull barnum going away. These guys have spoilt F1. They belong to TV reality shows. F1 has gone out of its ways to accomodate these guys and here is the reward. Oh, and they should take […]

Grosjean to reward tenacity: His first points since Monaco 2014. He’s been keeping his team together during hard times and he made it to Q3 everytime since the beginning ot the season

Nothing to do with Alonso but it seems there is no other place to say it…
It’s not Hans Hermann who won at Le Mans in 1952 but Herman Lang. Hans Hermann won Le Mans in 1970 on a Porsche and is still alive and kicking…

Heikki could very well be in the process of securing a 2014 drive with Lotus. He’s fast, experienced and …cheap.

It’s funny to see how Finnish drivers are often called as last minute replacements for injured drivers. Remember Mika Salo with Ferrari in 1999 after Schumacher broke his leg ? He almost won the German GP before […]

The fact is that Maldonado is leaving Williams (and not the opposite) because Williams is, sadly, sinking into oblivion and his win last year for them may be the last for the team ever. I am quite surprised to see […]

@tifoso 1989: You’re pretty harsh on a team that took the risk of bringing Raikkonen back to F1 and Grosjean from the doldrums. If they sign Maldonado, it’s because he’s a GP winner and he’s trying hard […]

Sorry my mistake, 40 not 30. My first GP was in Charade in 1972. The year Helmut Marko was injured because, oh my god !! there were stones on the track, not rubber pellets !!
I am an old art, I know, but F1 was […]

I have a very simplistic benchmark. When given a car, a driver should make the best of it and sometimes, lo and behold, he wins a GP. Not very many do it and whoever does it deserves a place in F1, whether be […]

Maldonado has won a GP for Williams, Bottas has done squat. Vettel Has won a GP when he was at Torro Rosso, Ricciardo has still to step on to a podium. Winning GP and driving hard, this is what I call impressive. […]

There were four impressive new drivers over the last four years: Kobayashi, Maldonado, Perez and Hulkenberg. Kobayashi is out, Perez on his way out, Maldonado and Hulkenberg are fighting over the Lotus seat. […]

No. The rear also exploded on Rosberg’s McLaren and Williams was clever enough to stop Piquet before the same could happen. And doing so they lost the title. Geez, I remember it as it were yesterday…
