http://en.espnf1.com/hrtf1/motorsport/story/28451.html Well, this really don't need a comment, does it? 'The newspaper also linked 22-year-old Spaniard Javier Villa with the team. ' Why, why, why? He's crap! Real, real, real . Jesus Jones 1991. Good shout. Anyway, F1 being as blinkered as ever mean...

Anybody mentioned in the same sentence as Verstappen gets my vote.

Bring back Jos The Boss!

Why in TV shows do people always come round at the same time? For example, if a shuttle crash lands in Star Trek and everyone gets a knock on the head why do they all wake up shaking their heads at the same point later. As if theres a universal amount of time for KO's. I know this has nothing to do ...

I dont think Williams went down the Supertec and Mechachrome road by choice, they would quite happily have continued as customers/partners with Renault as long as the engine was good but Renault had other plans, namely withdrawal.

Kimi and Alonso would actually have worked out well at Ferrari IMO. Nah. Kimi wouldn'tve had problems with Alonso, but he also would have NEVER understood that Fernando is quicker than him. I wish we could've seen Kimi with a stroppy team-mate. It wouldve been entertaining to see him not only not r...

I suck.

Isnt that a reference to plastic surgery? Where does that fit in?

Forget Senna and Prost, forget Alonso and Hamilton, forget Villenueve and Pironi, forget Trickle and Burns.

THIS would be the clash of the not-titans.

To be fair, I was going to support Brawn even if they'd been as pathetic as Honda during 2008. Lest we forget, they were the last-minute entry which turned out to have produced an outstanding car which otherwise would have been wasted. The Rejects That Won. What a movie that would've been. Perhaps ...

I miss Estoril. There were some great races there. And that armco reminds me of Scalextrix so much I want to go into the loft and get mine out.

Particulary during Hakkinens years I would grind my teeth each year as Hungary was described as 'like a home race for the Finnish fans'.

Do you know how far apart these two great nations are? Over 1000 miles. I checked years ago which only added to the teeth grinding.

coops

Frankly, the Mercedes Car is a piece of sh*t. Yeah, I don't like this year's safety car either. I would rather have a C-Class or something if I had to have a Merc.... You could have just hit upon Schumachers 2011 drive actually. Haug confirmed Michael Schumacher would be driving a Mercedes next sea...

For some reason Im reminded of the top of the Millenium Falcon by this image, not Korea.

And I dont mean "Good afternoon my name is Jonathan Legard". Im talking about the trite cliches that get trotted out every season. If anybody wants to join in I'll start the ball rolling with this one. When Driver A wins his first F1 race you will always, always hear... "Now he's won ...

Damon Hill made a couple of dodgy decisions, although perhaps his management team should bear some responsibility. After taking the title in 1996 he drove for Arrows in 1997 when he could've driven for Jordan (EJ wouldnt pay him what Walkinshaw would) and then he ended up driving for Jordan in 1998 ...

I don't know why but I want Schumacher to win another championship before he retires even though I don't see it being a guarantee or sometimes even a possibility... and this is coming from a Nico Rosberg supporter. Were it not for MSC punting him off in Adelaide 1994 then Ive always believed Damon ...

Being as Liuzzi has acheived pretty much frick all since his return Id say they were both as useless as each other.

a glory-seeking Manchester United type fan I hate people like that, and people who jumped on the Button bandwagon during 2009. Not me. I spent most of the noughties explaining to people why JB was still a good driver to the point where they'd get up and sit at another table. Incidentally, if Schuma...

Its all perception I think, like modern music all sounding the same and chicken really tasting like chicken. I often watch the old grainy footage of racing in the seventies when the cars all looked like porn stars and wonder at how great it surely was to witness it all. Or the halcyon days in the fi...

coops

I mean, really, could any F1 driver become a champion if he has the right technology to drive? Seems very likely... But theres only ever one champion and generally two cars capable of winning. I say 'generally' as I dont want to spark a 'team orders' or 'number one driver' debate. Irrespective of t...

coops

Firstly, I cant believe the seasons nearly over already and secondly I still wouldnt like to put money on who could win it. With the Mclaren drivers now needing snookers to get back in the game I think they'll find the spotlight has moved off them, which might help matters. Out of Webber, Vettel and...

You're assuming that F1 will last past 50 years the way F1's currently going? Absolutely. In may differ from todays F1 in the same way as todays F1 differs to the racing in the 50s but the lineage will still be there. Without getting too 'galaxy far, far away' about it its fascinating and exciting ...

There will never be a Brazilian F1 Champion ever again. What, like not even in fifty, seventy five years time? Any Brazillians reading this should get cracking to produce off-spring and train them in the ways of the force. Sorry, not the force, racing . Just to prove ADx_Wales wrong. You could just...

Very true, and Rubens has shown he can still keep up with 'the kids' too. He will be the next driver to win for Williams, there I said that.
