He is indeed

The rumor has it that his times were consistently better than those clocked when Sirotkin was at the wheel. By what margin - that's another thing, but I can imagine he was much, much quicker.

Robert Kubica tested a GP3 car recently. I wonder where this is going, given that he quit his last job at MyKolles in WEC

#BringBackColinKolles

I know this might belong in the "Unpopular Opinions" thread but honestly - Colin has proven himself to do well with subpar machinery, and given that Manor's performance might improve significantly for 2016, I'd love to see him be in charge of a respectable outfit.

Nico Rosberg - enough said.
Attrition rate - two cars more and GPR would collapse under massive amounts of euphoria

Max Verstappen - once again getting very close to scoring his first podium, and STR's first since 2008.
Alexander Rossi - had a legitimate shot at scoring points in this race

I cannot believe it

Thank you for everything Jules, and goodbye.

Let me tell you something - I thought it was just him doing glory laps to appease the sponsors, but it seems to me that Nobuharu Matsushita is actually pretty good.
Not just good for a Japanese driver who's on his first season of racing in Europe, but GP2-driver-F1-prospect good

Marcus Ericsson - the lels were topped

Dishonourable mention goes to Force India.
The battle between Hulk and Checo was great for television, but other than that...

Vettel - It's been a long time since we saw a Ferrari crossing the finish line first, and I never thought I would enjoy this sight as much as I do now STR - pulled off some good moves, finished ahead of seasoned RBR drivers. Enough said. Honourable Mention goes to Merhi and Manor in general. They h...

Is it just me, or Monisha Kaltenborn has completely missed the point of Giedo's actions towards Sauber? From her words I figured out that she's shocked that someone had the nerve to point out what seems to be an obvious breach of contract. She does have a point about the moral principles - had VDG p...

In order to enliven the RWMT - that, by the way, will be renamed more properly and will be expanded with a feeder series - my plan is to pull off a post-season Motorcycle World Cup thingy. The name is still in the works, though Every country would be able to enter with one rider. The entries then wo...

RWMT: Corsini fastest in practice Filippo Corsini was fastest in the practice session for the French round of RWMT. It put his Honda 0.03 seconds clear of Alvarez Competicion rider Felix Villanueva's eventual best effort. Villanueva edged out Jakub Strapoc by 0.201s. Current championship leader Ale...

When was the last time the team was present during the Grand Prix but didn't participate? May it be that Manor has managed to be the first team since Mastercard Lola's failed attempt to start in Brazil in 1997?

I would also like to shamelessly plug my Manor fan blog

I'm hearing it'll be Fabio Leimer instead; he was due to drive in Super Formula, but his contract was cancelled for unknown reasons. The reason is simple - insufficient funds. Fabio released a short statement two days ago that explains it all. If he's not able to collect a proper sponsorship packag...

Omanese driver to test with Hydook When we thought Hydook's lineup for Sonoma testing is nearly wrapped up, the Croatian outfit never ceases to surprise their fans with sudden revelations, such as the one announced earlier this day. 16-year-old Rauf Zakariyya El-Mofty from Muscat, Oman will test th...

I'll go through the remaining six races as quickly as possible using Xkoranate - GP500 is a pain in the ass to set up in the right way. So here goes the Round of Germany!

Thank you Biscione and Nuppiz - I owe you both one.
I didn't even know how much I missed the forums until now. It's great to be back

Shame about the theme, though - Prosilver on F1R was more easy on the eyes.

If Marussia does arrive in Melbourne, bringing two MR03, maybe with some minor updates to it adopted from MR04, a handful of people and obviously two paydrivers, I still wonder - what will they use to make the cars move? Does the FIA allowance given to Caterham and Marussia include using the 2014-sp...

He would probably come here and say something, but he's as astonished as we are, if not more

Pointrox

There is a chance that F1 itself won't remain in place for 18 years, so who knows?

Anyway, congrats to Kimi and Minttu.

Pointrox

Without further ado, Lotus presented their new car. And I have to say it looks pretty good!

Pointrox

Even Ecclestone is positive about Marussia's chances of survival after meeting with the potential investor

I want to believe!
