If we're pulling from anywhere, Marc Marquez.

1. The weather - Toasted Hamilton's engine, Kimi's tires, RoGros brakes, and some driver's brains.

2. Seb - See above.

Ianonne and Ducati won! Yes yes yes and yes again! And Cructhlow won next time out in Brno, been a good MotoGP season Up until Assen, Spies and Marquez were the only new winners of the decade yet in the last four races we have three more. What is this season? Michelin deserves a thank you note.

He doesn't have good help in setting up the bike, that is clear.

Marquez makes everyone else look silly. Lorenzo embarrasses himself in wet conditions again. Crutchlow puts in a long overdue solid ride. Fascinating race.

What if the Austrian Grand Prix was a night race?

There are some brilliant ideas to skirt around a total communications ban that could arise. Someone is going to design a helmet with a heads up display that can receive line-of-sight IR transmissions, and every time a driver comes down the pit straight, they will have a new message flash up on their...

Is it just me, or does the Honda engine sound eerily like one of the blown diffuser engines of 2011?

I would like to propose that we pay homage to Justin Wilson as we have Marco Simoncelli by renaming this thread The Justin Wilson IndyCar Thread.

Jorge has one hand on the trophy now.

http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/schmidt-indycar-costs-are-virtually-impossible-to-justify/ I have to agree with Schmidt, especially about the Aero Kits, which for me, isn't worth and leave the tracks full of debris. Almost half of the grid cars are from Penske, Ganassi and Andretti. The grid...

F1000X

Yeah, I'm disappointed in Rossi, but the contact was far from clear-cut and Marquez has been an arsehole the entire time. Have to say Marc's fallen down in my estimations of him. But Valentino should have been the bigger man and ran his own race, even if it meant 4th rather than 3rd. As it stands, ...

F1000X

ahh so close Rahal Congratz to Dixon, I never even counted him until second half of the race! And you double points hater if both Indy and Sonoma are normal points, Dixon would still win the title anyway (I think?) Actually he wouldn't. He would lose to Montoya by 4 points. But it doesn't matter, t...

F1000X

If Montoya takes the title today, does that set the record for longest gap between major motorsport championships? [Andretti won the Indycar title in 1969 + 1984 but the F1 championship between them.]

F1000X

I was really hoping I could make the Pocono race this year, but I'm working all weekend. Here's hoping that it isn't the last. So disappointed Fontana is gone from the schedule. Having the season finale at Sonoma or on a street course really is the worst.

F1000X

Whatever happened to the American Grand Prix? Earlier this year Bernie was quoted as saying he still fancied it, now it's not on the calendar and everyone seems to have gone quiet about it?? There are some who wonder whether the developers really intended to build a circuit in the first place - it ...

And on any given Sunday both of them can be beaten.

F1000X

Michelin has made very clear their '18 inch wheels or we're out' stance. Perhaps it's time for F1 to get with the times. At the same time, that might be an excuse for Michelin to put minimal development into a unique F1 tire, and instead let them just port over their LMP1 designs. It really is beyon...

This season has been astonishingly good.

Personally, I wouldn't object to Grands Prix being run to a 500 km distance like they used to until the 1950s, but something tells me that with shorter race distances being discussed recently it will never happen, as 2 hour-plus races won't appeal to the elusive casual fanbase that the head honchos...

F1000X

Well done Marquez. Really keeping your shite together.

F1000X

Surprisingly decent races in Detroit, color me astonished.

Braindead Mercedes strategists. Great job impersonating Williams, guys.

Max Verstappen for being the kid on XBOX Live who is a far too overambitious with his overtakes.

What??? No podium interviews??? I want to see Hamilton throw a wobbly! ROTR to NBC on this one. What the actual bathplug? Sigh. NBC Live Extra You have to have one of several "approved" cable providers for their stream. The "free" service is anything but. Always always always ha...

Changing tires to give up track position? BAD bathplug IDEA. This isn't Nascar.

F1000X

Indycar and the media need to calm the bathplug down and let the week unfold. Courting a television audience that has a morbid fascination with the possibility of watching someone be maimed or killed live (something we Americans sell so well) is not the way to build interest in this race. Idiots nee...

These may be the plans F1 needs. The total fuel limit, as well as the hybrid techonology is kept, as it should be in my opinion. This shows F1's relevance for the road car industry and it's the reason Honda and Mercedes are current suppliers. Just one thing that doesn't seem clear to me: the BBC ar...

F1000X

Is it just me, or does the Honda speedway aero kit look disappointing? The Chevy looks simple, but very clean. Nice to see the rear wing completely separate from the rest of the bodywork like they used to be. http://cdn-0.motorsport.com/static/img/amp/500000/560000/567000/567100/567180/s1_287536/ind...

Please just die already Bernie. I'm sure Petra and Tamara are tired of being embarrassed by your criminality and insanity.

F1000X

Finally got to watch the race, what a shite show. Soggy paying spectators denied some decent on track action because a bunch of backmarker shitheads can't keep their cars going in the right direction.

More rain races please.

F1000X

I started to watch with 30 laps to go and I gave up after some laps. It's only my impression or the race was very boring? Welcome to Indycar. Street circuit after street circuit with endless caution laps, mindless driving, and brainless commentating. So glad my favorite series to hate-watch is back.

There is no engine freeze this year. The four manufacturers are given in season "tokens" for development: m Renault have the most left in fact, so I'm not sure why they are ruling out wins so soon, unless the motor is REALLY a turd. My question is this, are the tokens "equal"? A...

With both the body kits out now, it will be interesting to see which is faster. Both look cobbled together frankly. The Chevy wing has to be draggy as f**k all and Honda is bragging about how much they used their 2000s F1 experience in design. Why in God's name would you brag about that? First test...

F1000X

Well NBC is reporting Renault wants to buy Toro Rosso? And that RBR is pulling a Ferrari and threatening a pullout. I must say though Marko is right, when Vetted was winning, everything was getting banned (diffusers, engine maps etc). And he never won by this much. Now that Mercedes is crushing all...

Sauber can hold pre-qualifying for its driver pool. Whichever two drivers are fastest in practice get to race that weekend.
