Woops, I knew it was the same corner, but I couldn't remember his car being damaged.

His rear wing was smashed off by Cowboyashi, but oddly The Hulk who bore the brunt of the shunt, didn't seem to have ANY damage whatsoever... he was just beached in the gravel....

This race does highlight something about Hamilton: hes a little too willing to go with what the team tells him to. We've seen it before, on track with China 2007 where Lewis should have overruled the pre determined strategy and pitted, off track with the "liegate" scandal where the team t...

One that's come to me now that would be good (it doesn't matter coz i've made my choices) is Rob Smedley for directing Felipe Massa to a podium!

2. Jaime Alguersuari - Holding off Schumi for THAT long is almost Bernoldi-Coulthard-esque, but this was for position!!

Controversial? Mate almost everyone here is voting Webber/RBR to be ROTR

I'd rather say OP knows nothing about F1, yes. Hamilton being 2 seconds a lap faster than Alonso and not being able to overtake, says it all really. Great race, nonetheless. I think Hamilton had zapped his tyres by that point anyway, and both Ferrari's were hanging on to those frankly shot tyres qu...

Mine will be between Mark Webber and Red Bull ... contraversial I know regarding the origin of this forum, but Webber was really bad today, and further proved to me that he can't take the pressure in the same way that the best drivers can. All his troubles today were of his own making, and I don't t...

This race sucked when it was dry. The cars can't get close enough to overtake. Bridgestone should be unceremoniously removed from Formula One, as there is no reason the option tire should be able to last over 50 laps anywhere-- even Monaco. The rain was quite enjoyable, and Jenson Button timed it p...

Results entered now... I had a good race, but it was hard work keeping the concentration up!! EDIT: noticed that others have put a little race report... I'll try from what I remember Having made it into Q3 with the 2nd fastest time, I was confident that my Danardi-run Williams could maybe get a top ...

Red Bull sponsor Kimi as a way of grabbing the WRC market, Somebody call the marketing department, they were already backing the Citroen A team. I mean in that he's an F1 WDC, and the kudos that brings follows you everywhere... They do sponsor Citroen altogether yes, but only Kimi's car is complete...

RML-Lola.

With F1 Rejects-Life as the reserve team as always

For some reason I read that as RAM-Lola. How monumentally crap would that team be?!

About as crap as F1 Rejects-Life really! But without the intention of being rejectful of course...

Difficult to say what would have happened if he had the fortune to escape the fatal accident. Maybe, he would wind up winning more championships. I really miss the man, it was a hard blow for many of us his death. He had some flaws, but in the end he was a great human being. His legacy can be seen ...

Hmm it's a mystery... European Aviation is no more, what is left of the company is now owned by Skybus. Minardi F1X2 website hasn't been updated since 2007 and I can't find any evidence that any car ran in 2009... Ozjet were sold off and the services are no run by Strategic Airlines And we all know...

By the logic that whoever is sponsored by Red Bull is connected to the F1 team...RBRs lineup this year would have been Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro ! Well exactly... and given these guys are so great (an FIA World Champion and a F1 podium placer no less), why would Mateschitz even give Raik...

It's Ayrton Senna's 50th Birthday today! Any thoughts about the great man, and what you think he'd be doing now if he was still around, would be great to hear! I personally think he'd be on his way to Melbourne to cheer on his nephew Bruno, who at least is still here to give us spooky reminders of h...

Aston Martin/Prodrive - though they could be more reticent this time after failing last year to get a spot, and the fact that they're tasked with the Mini WRC project that could be happening next year... Whether they have the capacity to run a LMS team, WRC and the other projects they have I'm not s...

I don't know if anybody noticed the Red Bull 'mix zone' setup behind the Bahrain garages, but their banners had Volkswagen logos on them. Strange since they have Renault power... I've seen that on the Toro Rosso boards as well. I think it's more of a logistics deal, like what Williams have with MAN...

F1 needs Chandhok more than Chandhok needs F1 :walks off in a huff: Do you think they'll get fined for this? It's hard to say, I suppose it's down to whether the FIA and the Stewards think that the team deliberately kept Karun in (due to lack of parts, or money), or whether the problem was serious ...

Senna has got the car closer to Lotus and Virgin now, under 10 secs off Alonso now, all the data collected can be used to hone that further... I don't think they'll get much more pace out the car this weekend as it's so soon after it's first run, but if Senna can get the gap down to 8 secs then they...

danardif1

Terrible start for Chandhok...he, and HRT really needed to get as many laps as possible in. How on earth can Chandhok be expected to just qualify tomorrow? All the more reason to encourage and cheer them on!!!! As much as we love the losers here, I don't wish it on anyone and I really hope they fin...

I'm predicting the usual Helmut Marko 'Driver Development' (essentially just sticking whatever kid has got the most free time in their F3/F2/World Series schedules in an F1 car, thinking they'll be the next big thing!) change at STR... and it'll Jaime for the chop I think

danardif1

It was great to see their first (tentative) steps after all the trouble over the winter... Ayrton will be looking down on Bruno and smiling, as he's done his Uncle proud and used his talent to get to F1, even if it's not the best place to start in really... If they can get the cars sorted with a pro...

I would love this... maybe if I had this, I could try and bluff my way into F1 next year... just stick some new wings on it and take a picture of Kazuki Nakajima in the monocoque..

Strange stance, that of HRT. Even more strange considering the car hasn't even had a shake-down (I think). I can only suppose they're trying to impress potential upcoming sponsors? It might just trying to get some morale going for what I imagine has been endless nights work for these guys... they w...

Such a shame USF1 might never grace the grid, if this model of their car is anything to go by, they'd have been a pleasent aesthetic addition to the grid if nothing else http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs397.snc3/24123_498732460219_798175219_11168675_332046_n.jpg It really is a good looking car... ad...

Fabian Coulthard not so distant relative of the last scottish F1 driver? But he's probably in V8 Supercars through his own credit, not that he's got into any success there. No relation. Has potential but was stuck with a hand-me-down Ford from Triple Eight. Now he's at HRT for this season we'll fin...

I thought someone would've ventured with Bruno Senna by now, but I'm actually glad because I think he's got some real talent, especially when you consider he doesn't have the whole racing background of his peers, having missed out on a junior career after Ayrton's passing... His development curve ha...

The thing about promoting or investing in F1 at a Government level for me is that it is a contradiction of two things.. 1. Taxpayers money being used effectively as a folly (a folly that here we all love, but as a cross-section of 65 million other Brits I don't think we're in a majority) BUT then 2....

For all that is made of Sutil's ability in the rain, the fact remains that he usually crashes out in the wet. I don't ever remember Hakkinen being good in the wet, Schumacher used to beat him everytime. Damon Hill was an underrated wet weather driver though. Damon was an underrated driver in genera...
