Ok, so this being the silly season thread: if the hypothetical rumoured Williams line-up of Felipe Massa and Jenson Button actually happens next year, would that be the most experienced pair of drivers in F1 history in terms of number of races? Also I wonder what currently holds that record? Isn't ...

RIP Jules

My condolences to the family that have suffered so much since the accident.

That Jules may race again with the greats up there in heaven.

Disparu, mais jamais oublié

Paraguay just beat Brazil on the Copa America after penalties, it's the biggest surprise of the day tbh It wasn't a surprise after the 90 minutes were over. Brazil are terrible at penalties. This was an improvement over their last Copa America performance! They got knocked out on penalties by Parag...

So it seems the events of Monza, and the bollocking they got from the authorities, has had precisely no effect on the FIA F3 field today. Driving standards (cough Lance Stroll cough) have been atrocious all day. Both races have had the leading three cars hitting each other going into Les Combes. An...

I'm fairly sure Wallonia still does completely free-to-air qualifying, pre-race and race for the whole season, unless things have massively changed since I've left... Bugger, RTL Deutschland is my alternative for when the BBC doesn't show the race live. Well, since acquiring pay TV won't happen aft...

Meanwhile, the news from Germany keeps getting worse. It looks like it's gonna be the next country to lose free-to-air F1 coverage .

Massa's put his foot in his mouth again ... Well, it's always nice when there is something to put the attention off your awesome fifteenth place. Williams has nothing to brag about this weekend with their worst performance since 2013. Massa also never made rookie mistakes, although he did crash in ...

If Hinchcliffe is unable to take the start of the Indy 500, will Buddy Lazier be able to take up a place at the back of the grid? If the SPM team has a back up car and most likely they have, they can start from last with the replacement driver. Given that he has already driven for SPM in the past a...

And a third Chevy flips over during Indy 500 practice. Ed Carpenter got loose in turn 2, and had a carbon copy of Newgarden's Thursday shunt. Fortunately, he's OK, but the car is a write-off. With this effectively being Bump Day, looks like Short Bus Ed might not be racing next Sunday. Wouldn't be ...

Given Toro Rosso's reliability issues during the Grand Prix, I started wondering: what if Toro Rosso had stayed with Ferrari rather than switching to Renault when the new engine formula started in 2014?

Ursus Racing will enter
D1 #5: Fidrik Arnason (ICE)
D2 #25: Algernon Bell (USA)
TD/R: Anna Gunnarsdottir (ICE) *available for a full time ride elsewhere

Livery: original car is fine as it is.

Well, tomorrow morning / tonight (depending on time zones) will be the time for the verdict of the appeal. Meanwhile negotiations will be going on between van der Garde and Sauber which will be along these lines: m If Sauber really has no money, GVDG could end up with nothing, but him uttering some ...

The Dutch Bear

Van der Garde application successful. Is it over? Is the silly season finally over? Of course NOT! Why, there is still the thrilling question of shall it be Ericsson or Nasr who gets dropped? And what legal action will they take? And whither Sutil? This will run and run! Sutil's contract was legal ...

Verdict in Sauber v Van Der Garde will be announced 10am Wednesday Oz Time - that'd be 11pm Tuesday in The Queen's Right And Proper Time Zone. Sauber's main arguments are that it'd take two weeks to get a seat made, that putting GVDG in the car would increase the risk of DEATH!!!! and that he doesn...

The Dutch Bear

I remember reading during testing that Nasr was struggling quite badly with the Sauber. It's painfully obvious that they've been glory-running the entire time, which has yielded precisely f*** all. I can't see him doing very well at all. If he can match Ericsson this year, he'll be doing well. McLa...

Having noticed you're from Rotterdam...I hope for your dignity's sake that you aren't a Feyenoord fan. That was some of the worst fan behaviour in Europe I've seen in a fair while!

Wow, English refereeing has been a complete shambles this month. Never mind the whole season... Why doesn't the English FA have a video referee? Or any football league for that matter? Both Gordon Murray and Wes Brown should never have been sent to the showers early today. The Dutch FA, KNVB, appli...

A big hats off to Biscione and Nuppiz, thanks a lot for all the effort. It's great to be back and I'm sure the future will be likewise.

I am very happy when my first and the teams first ever win. We always have been strong here at Pergusa and knew that this year would be our biggest chance. Thank you very much, but now I would like to join the massive party held by the team right now. Rumors about the whole team having massive hang...

Should the owner agree, we would like to replace Forestiur-Valerian with Gunnarsdottir, starting from the France SuperPrix (Forestiur will still do the Sprint) You have my permission. As it appears that we have some money lying around, time for some upgrades: 1x Increase car downforce 1200 AUD 1 x ...

Rated wrote:Half a point for fastest lap / pole in Sprint races ? I'll say NO. A full point or nothing.

Team Sprunk will return with the 1995 line-up (Gunnarsdottir and Peynirci if their owner agree).
Natascha Zaugg indeed stays at Hunter Autosport.

You can use Gunnarsdottir for 1996

Ursus Racing will continue with the same cars and drivers as in 1995.

Greece lost against Faroër. It keeps on raining epic surprises! But seriously, a team that got into the 1/16 finals at the world cup losing a home game against Faroër? Well in 1990, Austria, that had been in the World Cup that year, lost to the Faroër in what was the first ever qualification match ...

I'm the only who see Van der Garde as potential replacement for Bianchi? He ran in some sessions in this year. Also, Sauber have the same engine of Marussia. I don't think that's going to happen. I'm a little bit worried about Sutil though. He has watched everything happen, and this will sure have ...

The Dutch Bear

L'Equipe reports that Jules' surgery was finished and he breathes without the ventilator. I feared for the worst, but given the fact that Bianchi breathes on his own, he will probably live as the most vital parts of his brain seem to be OK. Whether he will return at all or even be good as he has be...

The Dutch Bear

I did wonder why they cut to seemingly pointless footage of the Sauber garage for so long just before the red flag. Stewards used a sheet to cover treatment of Bianchi behind his car in order to block tv from seeing any pictures. Really FIA? Bianchi might be injured. People want to know what happen...

Already having a presence in the US with a Rejectrucks team, Ursus Racing would like to expand their activities with a team in AutoReject Indy Academy. We race under the Stars and Stripes.

For those who didn't catch Graziano Pelle's goal at the weekend against QPR, check this. Great goal, we miss him a lot here in Rotterdam. The only decent thing Feyenoord has done this year is beating Zorya 'MH17' Luhansk in the Europa League. Which they nearly bathplugged up by giving away a 3-0 le...

Spanish Renault 3.5 stars Carlos Sainz Jr and Roberto Merhi are both in the frame to make their F1 debuts with Caterham before the end of the season.

No, it is still stupid, simply because Verstappen: A) Hasn't been out of karts for more than a year. B) Very likely doesn't qualify for a Superlicense at this stage. C) Has only competed in European Formula 3, the most recent champion of which is in GP2 and most certainly doesn't look like jumping ...

So why doesn't this "learning curve" argument apply to Indycar/F1-->Nascar transition? Have there been instances where modern Nascar drivers have beaten open wheel drivers in GT or is it all ifs and buts? Nascar is a bit the same as V8 Supercars. No one in their right mind will say that V...

But what the hell was Kevin Ward doing?! You can't stand in the middle of the track shaking your fists at people and expect to tell the tale afterwards! Whether it was accidental or not (and I suspect it was an accident) there was very little chance that that would have ended well for Ward. Really ...
