You're not the only one. Reminds me of HRT as well.

A 46-year-old Tony Trimmer at the wheel of an ex-F5000 Lola dominating a Formula Libre race on the weekend of Ireland's top circuit racing event... which isn't saying a lot, but anyway, the former Maki man managed to lap the entire field in 16 laps of Mondello Park, back when it measured just under...

I think the new Ferrari livery looks great, it's a nice little throwback to the Ferrari's of the 70's.

Wehrlein to Mercedes for 2017 then.

Where will Nico end up? Williams? Renault? Mclaren?

First proper race that i've watched live, and I enjoyed it. I thought the track really allowed the cars to look fast and dangerous. Always good watching cars slide around and not appear to be on rails. A solid 5/7.

Didn't realise this year's garage 56 entry would be a quadruple amputee.

Good luck to this dude: https://twitter.com/flemans2016

If Bottas ain't in a Ferrari for this season, I can't honestly see him in one anytime in the future. His moment has passed and there are others on the block.

Came across this lovely story about Jules in the Guardian.

Having rewatched Spa 1998, I wonder what would the procedure be if that pile-up had happened in the last few seasons, given that spare cars are banned at present. I can't imagine the race would be restarted from the beginning with the field in single digits. Track blocked, so red flag. Any cars tha...

I do hope Carmen Jorda stays with the Renault team. Why? Not even I can think of a good reason why she ought to stay. Has she even had the chance to get behind the wheel this year? Eye candy Anyway, we need someone to represent women drivers in F1. Although I would rather prefer if it were Simona.

Izzyeviel

Lets hope he quits next season to go on a world tour.

It may be Nico's only chance to become World Champ.

Alfa Romeo first used a naturally aspirated engine in their first few seasons as a constructor. I always thought with their reliability woes that they always had a Turbo. But all F1 engines in the 1950s were normally aspirated? I guess you're referring to the 1980s-spec Alfa team however? Yes I mea...

I'd be alright with a switch, I remember the ITV days quite fondly except for that godawful theme tune. Who was that by again? Jamie Rockway or somebody. It would've been interesting to see if ITV could've got the rights to all the live races rather than SKY even if it meant ad breaks to pay for it...

With the rumours swirling around Mercedes at the moment, I thought It'd be a good time to start a new silly season thread. And what's sillier than starting it in 2015?. 2017 Line ups: Mercedes - Lewis & ? Ferrari - Vettel & ? Williams - Bottas & ? Red Bull - Ricciardo & Kvyat? Force ...

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/122128 So Red Bull will run Tag Heuer branded Renualt engines for 2016. The question is who do they complain about if the engine ends up as bad as it was this year Depends how much cash Red Bull are willing to throw at them. Both Renault and Ilmor know wh...

Too soon to start the 2017 silly season thread? I'm quite tempted to make one considering the news that Mercedes are thinking about dropping Nico. I saw this story in a couple of papers today. What's going on all you in depth analysts? If they are going to drop a driver in 2017, it won't be the 4 t...

I like Hulkenberg, but I have to say, he should be contender for the Driver Reject of the year. He's meant to be be quicker and faster than Perez but he's often trailing in his wake. Pastor has been a victim too often, he hasn't been crap. The Manor and Sauber boys have done as expected, Mclaren has...

Any one else noticed the small yacht in between the two massive ones at turn 11? (i think)

F1 is the only sport where a billionaire is made to feel inadequate!

Does anyone know how many consecutive races there's been with a British driver in F1? Does it beat the Italian record? It quite easily beats the Italian record! Out of the 934 World Championship Grands Prix, only 14 of them didn't have a British driver on the grid: The 11 Indy 500s, the 1950 Swiss ...

Hope the new regs do lead to mass complaints about no overtaking - serves all the naysayers about DRS right!

This is the incident that got Daniel Ticktum banned for 2 years.

What an idiot. Not even Pastor was this blatant.

I liked the old track, because it offered up something a bit different, and went alongside Monza and the old Hockenheim as decent power tracks, which we're sorely lacking these days to balance out the rest. That said, I also like the new track. At first sight I was very sceptical of the stadium lay...

Valtteri Bottas. F1 Champ 2016. Williams are doing the whole good one year, shite the next, so as they've got a bit more cash and development this year, I expect them to do well next year before returning to form & doing a Mclaren in 2017. I can see it happening.. esp with Lewis and Nico trippin...

I believe Adrian Newey is already thinking about how a new born could pilot an F1 car.

Im gonna nominate the Rolex board for not putting a up a better fight against Kimi and an honourable mention to Everyone who is nominating Rosberg, ok he made 1 mistake and then appeared to be a sore loser, but I feel he was just being a bit slightly pissed off with himself for making that mistake ...

As much as I love Manor, Rossi only got where he got to because others crashed out. And being able to unlap himself twice from the safety car certainly helped.

I thought Nasr drove well as did all four Red Ball drivers.

Nico makes the briefest of contact with Lewis's car and all hell breaks out in the Mercedes garage. Lewis runs Nico off the road several times and it's all 'OMG Lewis you are da bestest!!! We Lovez you big time'

Rossi has been robbed.

Manor finish 12th, the first race of the season where both Mclarens finished and Maldonado didn't crash into anyone. What rotten luck.

What are 'Handling issues' and why might a driver retire a car because of them? - not just F1 but other categories. I assume in basic terms, it's when their car has excessive oversteer or understeer, thereby making the car handle badly and requiring more effort than usual to go where they want the ...
