The F1 games with feeder series to work up to an F1 career. Grands Prix clips available on YouTube (even if it is only up to the previous season for the sake of copyright ?!?!). Many previous races available through iTunes/Amazon/etc. And you can think of more, I'm sure.

No, the excessive love for Liuzzi has Saward's sticky fingerprints all over it.

Knock it off with the Joe Saward-hate, already. We all know you don't like him, you don't have to keep beating us over the head with it.

Reading the article fully, it appears Saward is referring to said journalist on the basis that he is reporting soemthing different to Saward. Both stories are based on each journalist being told something different. Neither discloses their sources, so it really amounts to "this journalist does not agree with me, so he is not very good". So I'm seeing the term 'hack' being used in a very derogatory sense.

Considering that the Toro Rosso cars were hand me down Red Bulls at the time... and that the Red Bull was a shitewagon... yeah. Totally not spin at all! Vettel has totally never had experience with a bad car towards the back of the field!

Massa and Vettel don't even come close compared to Hamilton. Hamilton's worst car finished 3rd in the WCC!
Also, Hamilton's general attitude and performance when his car was quite bad, in early 2009, was terrible, and worse than Massa's, Kimi's etc. at the time.

Ferrim wrote:You could argue that the car finished 3rd because of Hamilton, though. That car was overall no better than the Brawn, the Red Bull, the Toyota and the Williams (and probably the Ferrari as well, although they had the problem with Massa).
Ferrim wrote:Eeeh... sorry but Kovalainen was utterly trashed by Hamilton. At no point was Kovalainen beating him during their two years at McLaren, not even close on race pace. Maybe the scoreboard in 2009 didn't show it until the final part of the season, but that was because the car was a pile of crap.
Ferrim wrote:I seem to remember Hamilton wasn't beating Kovalainen in qualifying so easily in 2008, either. But, for some reason, on race day Hamilton always was streets ahead.

If it turns out that Mallya is now announcing the sale of a minority of the shares or some such arrangement no-one is going to believe anything that he says as he will already have told a whopping great lie, insisting that the team is not for sale.

Except that Mallya never denied selling a minority stake in the team. He only said that he would not be selling the entire team.

Why not try not reading Joe Saward's columns?
