At least this year when they say Ferrari’s closer, it’s actually the truth. Heh.

While I do not think we need a human driven safety car, I don’t think it’s something the FIA should really worry to much about — Maylander is responsible for exactly zero of F1’s safety car related challenges […]

German driver, German te… … wait a minute.

Maybe since they have the same gearbox, it’s possible that they just both suffered the same failure?

He’s talking about Kimi. Both guys got a point in their debut, driving for Sauber…

“My Driver of the Weekend, Sainz”

“Sergio Perez, who was unhappy about his strategy and picked up a penalty;”

Not sure how you conclude that Perez was higher rated than Sainz.

Can we at least wait for the teams to homogenize their shark fin designs before banning them? I quite like how pretty much everyone has a different take on them at the moment…

I kinda agree with CotD, Shanghai’s not a track I get remotely excited about, and not one I’d miss in the slightest. I don’t even really have many strong memories of the races there.

Other people seem to enjoy […]

The team told him to stop the car, and he did. You do what your team tells you.

… and with Bottas closing on Hamilton at over a half second a day, I think it’s safe to say he should be about 2 minutes a lap faster than Lewis come Abu Dhabi.

I love all the little aerodynamic bits that teams stick on the cars, shark fins included. A bunch of little winglets that all do their part to make the car a bit faster is part of the “ultimate racing machine” appeal for me.

If watching everything became too much of a burden, you could maybe not watch practice? I mean, if I had had to choose between 16 races where I watched all the practices, all the qualifyings, and all the races… […]

25 two hour races a year comes out to less than an hour a week devoted to F1. I’m sure most people will be able to manage that, if they really want to.

‘course, as a not-European, I pretty much never manage to […]

Nico won more races, though. It’s been pointed out recently that some people consider that an important measurement of a season. :p

Nico Rosberg deserves the championship in the sense that he scored the most points, and that’s pretty much all that matters.

That it took him driving one of the most dominant cars in the history of the sport, […]

Do we actually think they’re leaving, or is this just a stunt? Publicly threatening not to play is a tactic Bernie is very familiar with, and I sure hope Sepang’s just doing it to him for a change…

A few more Nelson Piquet Jrs and a few less Vitaly Petrovs?

I’ll give my vote to Lewis, he pretty much did all he could.

Super tempted to vote Ericsson though, good quali and finished 11th despite being parked in the barrier on lap one.

Nah, IndyCar is on the same channel as F1, IIRC. Also it’s viewership is not terribly high. Outside of NASCAR, America doesn’t seem to watch a whole lot of motorsports these days.

It’s kinda funny how just a few weeks ago, there were so many unremarkable drives at Italy that we got a new poll option for nobody.

This race, we’ve got so many choices that KMags doesn’t get a ton of votes […]
