Caterham has announced that Marcus Ericsson will get two days at Jerez, Kobayashi and Frijns gets one day each. Meh. It's all about Kobayashi really Well, this makes me question how much seat time Ericsson has actually got in F1. Ericsson needs to get to grips with an F1 car again. Kobayashi doesn'...

That Ferrari. I'm not too bothered about the black part on the engine cover, but when I see the front all I can think is 'sad anteater that couldn't catch his ants'. Or is that just me?

Might as well throw my opinion behind these designs today: I like the McLaren design quite a bit. It's 'grown' on me. Sorry, couldn't resist that joke. But as Enoch pointed out, if you look at it from cockpit-down, it follows the lines of the car so it's not that bad. As for the lotus design, that s...

Other luminaries like Will Buxton, Martin Brundle, Ted Kravitz, Martin Brundle, Robbie Savage and Gary Lineker. Because Martin Brundle is that good, you just have to follow him twice. I always suspected Brundle suffering from multiple personality disorder. He's very insightful and totally impartial...

And if anyone is remotely interested in the stuff I come out with every so often, this is my account: @crackers250 Is this another method of fishing for followers?

It's a fantastic livery. The black goes so well. The others colours are there because of India's national flag but it works really well. And the nose, from this angle, reminds me of the Williams and Simtek noses from 1994.

6th in GP2.

6th.

Delighted for Kamui to be racing in F1 again. But a little disappointed to see Giedo now a third driver. But he's got backing and is moving up the grid at least so if Gutierrez x2 fails again this season, the seat may be his in 2015. And talking of Caterham, GP2/3 commentator Will Buxton has said th...

Jordan 191 in black? Nope.

And can someone explain why the Matra and Pescarolo cars have a light-green nose tip? Does it symbolise something?

I bring to you an exclusive sneak-peak of the 2014 Red Bull F1 car: http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/4491/pu2g.png The Red Bull RB10, also known as the VETTELWINZLOL Steamroller, weights in at a groovy 4.7 tons and comes equipped with an all-new 1300bhp biodiesel engine to keep the enviromentalis...

Yep. All confirmed. Good to see a bit of continuity at the back of the field. I reckon they could be battering Caterham next season.

I will be going to Charlton is Tuesday with a mate to watch Oxford play them. I quite like The Valley, good place to go to as a neutral. Indeed. Went years ago to watch them against Fulham. Back in the days when Paolo Di Canio was still a beast. Very close to the pitch I seem to remember and where ...

Based on some of the mock-ups Ive seen so far I dont think this seasons Thin And Pointy nose-cones look too bad, actually. They're growing on me. Agree with you on that. The orange McLaren I've been seeing on Twitter isn't that bad. And if we are led to believe there are three to four possible desi...

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112084 There you have the future of DRS. I suppose Whiting has a point there. Slowly falling out of love for DRS. I'm all for banning it and indroducing the push-to-pass technique. We get plenty of overtaking anyway due to the different tyre strategies be...

Only three driver with abnormally-high numbers. I understand the BO77AS one but can someone explain Hamilton's choice of 44 and Sutil's with 99?

To respond to the popular demand of customer cars: NO! If you can't build a chassis yourself you have no business in F1. It's as simple as that; there are enough series on this planet where you can buy a car and start a team, however the top class should be reserved for people willing to go the ext...

Someone posted about no engine restrictions? If you meant the team could do whatever they wanted with the engine that would be a crazy idea. The cars would become so fast it would be dangerous. You'd then need so much more aero work done on the cars to stop them from just crashing or twisting. That ...

Most of those are just ridiculous. Halve the calendar? Imagine the worldwide uproar from the countries that miss out. Having said that, I've always wanted reverse grids.

How about something the BTCC uses? Penalty ballast. Would make vettel's car about 100 kilo's heavier!

Happy Birthday Michael Schumacher you utter legend!

That's a pretty anti-climatic story but it made me chuckle first thing in the morning so thank you for that.

As long as Giedo van der Garde gets a race seat in F1, I'm happy.

AdrianSutil

I'm pretty sure the general chit-chat for pre-season will get better once we start to see launch dates and secret photos. give it time.

AdrianSutil

It is just unfortunate that Lewis posted photos of himself on a type of ski while the biggest news story is Michael's accident. And which British newspaper slammed him hardest? The Daily Mail. What a surprise. The same paper that posted gratuitous photos of the rock that caused the damage. I'm surp...

I would prefer it if the drivers stuck to 1 helmet design for the season because I just find it easier to tell who's driving. On the other hand, BO77AS would make a cool personalised number plate. Helmets and numbers are different issues. Not now they're not. Both are actually supposed to mean some...

AdrianSutil

Somebody call my name? Anyway, I don't even remember where I first heard that quote anymore, but even if Bernie was concerned about safety, wasn't he a leader of the Brabham team at this point? Or was that later? Otherwise, this sounds more like a plea for Rindt to join the team instead out of his ...

AdrianSutil

Also Lewis Hamilton has posted some very smug pictures of himself on his ski holiday. This man should not be allowed anywhere near social media. Your first problem is that you're expecting Lewis Hamilton to act like a classy, dignified individual, when in actuality, he has less class than Kyle Busc...

Don't know about Button but Massa has already chosen his number. 17 or 19 wasn't it?

So far, only bottas has gone for a really high number, 77. Bo77as. Love it.

The Footwork/Arrows car from 1996 was pretty decent too. The A17? If it was designated with that number I can't tell you off-hand. But the few shots I've seen of it at Imola when it was blue and red with the new PowerHorse sponsorship was great. I think they modified it later on during the season To...

Half 7 in the morning here in the UK and SkySports News are reporting that Schumacher is still in a 'critical' condition and is still very much fighting for his life. No change to yesterday so it's still fingers-crossed time. I still can't believe it really.

AdrianSutil

To get something good out of this terrible news: people will be more aware about safety when such a famous person is involved. People will remember that he survived because of his helmet. (and he is going to survive. I'm just worried that he will never be the same again, though) Hopefully people wi...

I agree with Mr.Baker here. I don't lose any sleep at night thinking about this forum if there's been an argument or a member throwing his toys out the pram and I suppose 99% of the forum will agree with this.

He's as tough as old boots. He'll be fine. I hope and pray you're right... I reckon he's gonna be ok. We haven't heard anything for a little while which means his body is fighting back. That's a good sign. An induced coma is a good thing too, it's what he needs. Having said that, I've been a bit ne...

Oh dear. I've just had a go at a few people on twitter about posts being made about his health being in a critical condition, thinking it was an exaggeration, only to find all this now.

Shocking stuff to hear. Praying for him tonight. And Im not a religious man.

Someone please explain the Perez hate to me. I do not understand it. He outperformed Button on several occasions, which is more than most expected. One reason is at times he displays pieces of driving Andy Neate would have been proud of like China and Monaco for instance Don't forget Bahrain too. I...
