I laughed for about 2 minutes straight after the Pastor Maldonado incident.

This was over at the Lotus board and I figured it deserved a thread here: http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-en ... -for-sale/

Where is Captain Hammer screaming for a reliable source in this thread? Oh right, he hates Kobayashi.

LionZoo

I'm not usually an emotional person, but...

If Sauber dumps Kobayashi, I hope they slide down the grid, become bankrupt, and basically die a horrible death.

1996 all over again?

Michael Schumacher - A perfect example of having all events conspire against you. On another day (and without the 5 grid penalty, a penalty I don't agree with...) he could've won the race.

(By the way, hello from Hong Kong!)

You've got Pic in the pic used as your forum pic.

First rule of F1 weather: If there is a threat of rain, whatever Ferrari is doing will be wrong.

Is Bernie going senile with a memory like a colander or is he just trolling? In the second half of last season he was slating the new teams - Lotus/FTM/Caterham included - and telling them to sling their collective hooks. I don't think Bernie actually has a real opinion. He'll just say whatever wil...

Typical. Someone builds a better mousetrap and rather than working to catch up, some people protest it. Actually, I have a feeling the teams are both already looking into building their own system AND protesting it at the same time. It's just that getting the system banned works better for them sin...

Schumacher's race pace actually didn't look too bad. He was losing ground to the McLaren's, but not too much, and I think he was conserving his tyres for the time being. Vettel looked faster, but he didn't necessarily shoot up to the back of him, and probably wouldn't have passed him out on track a...

LionZoo

On a 1-10 scale with 6 being any given Nick Heidfeld performance. Vettel - 7 - Squeezed a bit more out of the car than Webber. Webber - 6 - Broke the curse, but had a pretty anonymous weekend. Button - 9 - Sublime race performance. It always looked like he had something in reserve if needed. If he h...

1. Maldonado
2. Pirelli tires - The spread between the prime and options seemed surprisingly well balanced and both tires appeared to be viable strategies. After years of one compound clearly being preferred at any given race weekend, this is definitely a nice change.

LionZoo

Some of my observations: 1) GRRRJJJNNNNN's pace wasn't out of nowhere. He has been up there all weekend. Of course probably nobody, including me, believed that he could keep it up in qualifying. Well, he showed up. 2) What's been lost in the hoopla is that Mercedes seems to have a genuinely fast car...

There was a great book on this exact subject (which also examined Palletti's crash & in particular supposed nightmare he or his mother experienced just prior to his crash) which I i read ages ago. Apologies I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, all I remember it had a picture ...

Wow I'm late to the party. Congratulations and good luck with the team principal spot.

Considering how close PDLR is to the cars in front, I will be taking absolutely nothing away from this test in terms of race form. To me it's just proof this isn't an accurate representation of each team's pace. On the contrary, I am already planning my "Kimi 2012 WDC" party and have put ...

1. Mark Webber

Bruno Senna and the threat of rain.

LionZoo

Yes Rubens has been linked today:- m Tied in with the fact that he told the BBC yesterday that he would look for sponsors if it was required for him to stay in F1, I'm finding it oddly difficult to write this off as a wild and unfounded rumour. When cockroaches rule the world, Barrichello will stil...

It's beginning to feel like all the locals see big dollar signs around F1 and they all want a cut.

LionZoo

How about giving all the teams one extra set of softs that are designated as qualifying only? Teams can choose to run their entire qualifying on that set of tires, or they can use their race allocation if they wish.

LionZoo

I'm going to go with the stewards. You can't freaking penalize every little half mistake to the drivers in the name of safety, and then leave a Toro Rosso in THAT position on track without a safety car. I know they were hoping Button would catch Vettel, but considering the dangerous the position of ...

Gotta give it to Webber for taking himself out in a way that could totally have been avoided if he had had a few working braincells on his drive back to the pits. Especially so because with the Red Bull, he should have recovered to take some decent points.

LionZoo

Now what the heck happened to Nico Rosberg? Even Schumacher managed to beat the stuffings out of him in FP2... what with Schuey third in the charts... I wish I knew. I have just made a huge mistake putting him as my prediction to win the race They had a problem with the KERS that required a replace...

Just found this thread and I have to say, some of f1-gast's comments are extremely insulting.

LionZoo

Poor showing from the Beeb again today sadly IMO. Brundle missed lots of things again, and his insistence on claiming throughout the commentary that the Renaults came together at the start when they blatantly didn't was a little bizarre. The Lewis love was a bit much, and it took the umpteenth repl...

1. Michael Schumacher - Last to fifth is nothing to sneeze at, especially with that Mercedes!
2. Pastor Maldonado - Alright who expected him to nick a point? Not I!

LionZoo

Lewis Hamilton for squeezing himself into Kobayashi and then having the balls to blame Kobayashi for the incident before viewing any footage of it. At least he manned up after watching the video and admitted it was his own fault. He really needs to stop getting himself into all kinds of trouble duri...

Thanks Ryan Hunter-Reay for knocking Sato out of contention for the win. PITCHFORKS!

LionZoo

My thoughts on the race: 1. Hamilton drove a great race. I was waiting for him to destroy his tires and get passed, but he never did. 2. Alonso continued his form of driving quick, but steadily. 3. Mark Webber once again blew his start. It's amazing that he hasn't led a lap all year despite getting ...

Adrian Sutil. He deserves both votes.
