Hamilton, by some distance. Absolute monster this weekend, totally untouchable in qualifying, in the race, grand slam, equalled Jim Clarke’s record, what a weekend for him.

How did Vettel get away with just a 10-second stop-and-go?

Mercedes’ interest is to win the Constructors’ Title. If backing Bottas makes sense – that is, Bottas goes on to remain faster than Lewis over the next couple races and overhauls Lewis in the points – then […]

A little too early in the season for team orders. Plus, Lewis has said severally that he doesn’t want number 1 status, and I believe him. Mercedes just need to sort their strategy out, and get rid of the little […]

Alonso is throwing his toys out of the pram like some spoilt kid. He doesn’t have the rightn to a “good” power unit other than what McLaren and Honda can come up with.
Too many F1 pundits, I think, let Alonso get […]

Toto very fidgety when Lazenby and Symonds cornered him about Mercedes making LH their Number 1 driver going forward. If Bottas doesn’t finish ahead of Lewis in Sochi, I think Mercedes will make the call.

I guess I’ll watch it then.
Should be interesting.

There was a time when Lewis would get his fare share of DOTW votes. That time is long gone on this forum. I have said this before – I don’t know what he would do to win DOTW, it doesn’t happen any more.

Lewis Hamilton. Easily.
Third grand slam – pole position, fastest lap, leading every lap, victory.
Hamilton’s fifth win in China from 11 attempts.
Hamilton only the second driver ever to have to five wins on […]

Two reasons – one, even with Nico winning the title there really wasn’t competition, since it was the same team and it was sort of getting a little boring, esp for the fans. And two, Nico wasn’t really much […]

Gotta admit, I now watch F1 more for the glamour around it and the start of the race than for anything else – on a few occasions last season I walked away to do something once the first round of pit stops were […]

“Malaysia – how’d you arrange that, mate?”

Since when is homophobia and/or sexism judged by the colours one dislikes? That’s crazy. That car is hideous.

Mercedes should have stuck him in that car and let him race Lewis!

I’ve heard quite a few people call Lewis ‘arrogant’. Always brushed it off as haters’ issues, but it would be interesting if you gave us some examples of Lewis being ‘arrogant’. Something specific he said or did […]

Hopefully they have roughly similar levels of car reliability so one of them isn’t worse off than the other, and then we can truly see who is the better driver. From I have seen of Bottas at Williams, though, he […]

Will be interesting to see how team dynamics work at McLaren when Vandoorne – as I expect him to – begins regularly beating Alonso in races.

Wow, that Toro Rosso is the most beautiful F1 car I have seen – the others look bland in comparison. Hopefully the performances are a match for the livery!
