Yep, Autosport confirmed it.

This is pretty damn awful. So many teams are struggling financially, something needs to be done about it.

The slow zones idea is total rubbish. And your alternative solution is...? Classic Mexicola, always complaining but never willing to come up with ideas himself. Oi, this is the "unpopular F1 opinions" thread, not the "you don't like something provide an alternative, jackass" thr...

I would never take what Tobias Gruner says seriously. He's more often than not totally full of crap and is about as reliable as a L190 driven by Pastor Maldonado.

Garbage did the theme so it's up there by default in my view.

My God, what an awful day this is for Formula 1. RIP Andrea.

I thought that was a good race, especially considering the track layout wasn't brilliant. I'm starting to really like this Formula, one issue with it is the lack of noise; doesn't quite have the theatre provided by the roar of a motoracing engine but I don't mind it that much. Reject of the Race: Sa...

"It's crazy, I just Senna'd the corner, and Alonso'd it down the straight. The team were proper Di Resta-ing it on the radio, but I Raikkonen'd them so they left me be. Nico was getting really Prosty, so I Verstappened his Gurney and Piquet'd his Salazar. He was so Mansell after that, it was H...

And not just any team mate, but Johnny Cecotto. That's hilarious.

Ah, one of them F1 game commentators. He's a twat by default.

That's like, not good, Maxy. I feel another driver profile on this site being prepared.

Well, whilst Lotterer might have diverted attention to Caterham's on track activities, it looks as if the latest news surrounding the team will direct it to events off track. According to the lawyer acting for the 38 people who were fired in the mass sackings at Caterham, he has now initiated emplo...

What about that guy who did commentary in F1 '97's arcade mode? He was brilliantly awful.

I'm assuming you are not aware of someone called Ali G. Don Tirri... Oh I know about him. But even as a Joke, something like that is ABSOLUTELY out of place.

Great podcast and I can't wait to hear you guys refer to Fernando Alonso as Surrender Monkey again.

You know what, I'm going to change my mind and nominate the entire Mercedes GP team, including Hamilton and Rosberg for reasons explained in the GP thread.

The only thing I'm going to say is that 24 hours ago I was looking forward to two drivers having an epic battle on track for the win. 24 hours later, they both crash into each other on lap 2, the Mercedes management have committed suicide and a massive conspiracy has bubbled up. I don't know who the...

The boo-boys. Easily the worst side of the sport; shows the lack of maturity from some fans. I personally don't see what the problem is with the booing. People have opinions, and have the right to exercise them. Besides, don't we boo all the time? When we criticise a driver, that's exactly what we'...

Lewis Hamilton wins by default for totally contradicting all that "#nevergiveup" bollocks he always goes on about.

Well, he'd know. He used to be one of them.

When talking about "small accidents" this by de Cesaris come to my mind. Commentated by Ayrton Senna.

Woah, more driver changes? Next thing you know Alonso will have broken his toe and Luca Badoer will have one more go in a Ferrari and Jos will actually come out of retirement and race alongside his son next year at Toro Rosso!

GwilymJJames wrote:Reports that Sauber have signed Sutil for 2015.

I don't really see why they should, honestly. Sutil's performace has been underwhelming and I'm not really sure if he brings a lot of sacks o' cash. Better off sticking Giedo or Simona (or Sergey if they really need the money) in there if you ask me.

noiceinmydrink

Great article as always Enoch, I never really thought of this being one of the problems. I just kinda left it at "car's rubbish and so are the people driving it" without really putting a whole lot of thought into other issues but this makes much more sense.

How so?

I don't find his commentary exciting or interesting and can sometimes rely too much on clichés. A bit like James Allen, but James was exciting to listen to.

noiceinmydrink

David Croft is the most overrated commentator in F1 history. He's just not at all good. Ben and Martin Brundle would have made a great pair.

SIXTEEN? Christ on the cross, I thought if there was an age restriction it would be higher than that!

He could do worse than that; do a Mansell and don't bother defending it

James1978 wrote:Give him another 2 or 3 years in junior formulae surely?

Also does he even qualify fro a Super Licence at that age?

I'm not sure if there's an age restriction on getting a Super Licence, so he might well do. In that case, it's just a matter of doing the mileage required for one.
