Mercedes pit crew - That was a bleeding obvious unsafe release!! Mercedes - Not the drivers fault though Rosberg left the pit box on his own while the light system was still red. He already took responsibility for that mistake. Hamilton made a stupid mistake at the start and took himself out of the...

Eddie Jordan has apparently said that Hulkenberg is on his way back to Force India, and Massa is heading to Lotus. For once, I hope he's wrong. Or at least he got the names mixed up. If Eddie is getting his info from other teams (which was likely to be the reason why he correctly predicted the 'Kim...

Sutil doesn't need to be a shining light when he isn't hated by FI team personnel like di Resta is. Just look at his post race quotes today, he couldn't even admit that he made a mistake and threw points away. He's really only still up in points because Sutil had extremely bad luck on race days back...

Svenko Wankerov

Hard to split between di Resta and Ricciardo, but I give the award to Ricciardo . Di Resta had the excuse of being on older tyres at the end of a mentally draining race when he made his mistake, and he was set for points, whereas Ricciardo was nowhere really. Dishonourable mention to the FIA for We...

Svenko Wankerov

Maldonado for me. The collision was his fault. Why was he turning right into a left handed corner? Had he just turned left to get around the corner he could have got the positions back down the Kemmel straight. Was he trying to block? It almost looked like he was trying to pit! He actually was tryi...

Supposedly Lee McKenzie turned down hosting because she preferred working the pitlane.

Well, yes. I think every driver deserves at least some defense around here. They're 22 highly-talented drivers who could do a far better job than any of us here...who are we to criticise? When was the last time di Resta ran a F1 team or put together a F1 car? Where does he get off criticizing his t...

Svenko Wankerov

I have no problem with Di Resta's driving because to be fair he has come the closest of the drivers outside of the top 4 teams to score a podium. I wouldn't mind him getting a few podiums (as long as Vettel and Hamilton aren't 1st and 2nd or if Vettel wins on his own) because he has enough speed to...

Svenko Wankerov

Exactly. I don't mind the British press hyping up our sportspeople and athletes, as long as it's kept under control. What''s so wrong with a bit of patriotism from time to time? I'm not a fan of Di Resta, but you have to admit, he's raised his game this season so far, and he's been one of the top 1...

So which FI team member is going to draw the short straw for Q1?

Svenko Wankerov

In a way I think that Massa staying at Ferrari this long reflects poorly on Alonso's character. Why are they keeping him? Either Alonso wants someone who won't be a threat to him, or someone in the team doesn't want to potentially disturb the equilibrium. I think Alonso is a great driver, but his r...

Raikkonen is not Jacques Villeneuve.

For starters, he is a much better musician.

Kimi Raikkonen will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever driver for Red Bull. Red Bull's sole purpose is to sell their drink. That kind of PR crap is why Kimi left in the first place; why would he go back to that!? Right. Remind me, how much media coverage does the WRC get? In comparison to F1?...

Right.

Red Bull and Ferrari should be more interested in the Force India design team that's given both their drivers a top 5 car in F1. They have more to do with the "impressive" drives.

Svenko Wankerov

It's a bit "disrespectful" to blame the tire failures on the drivers, they were taking the fastest legal line through that turn which had not resulted in tire failures in previous years. Not to mention the drivers were led to believe that the tire failures were a result of debris instead o...

Svenko Wankerov

The rampant elitism in this place is amusing when it comes to the whole "respectfulness" thing. Especially since one of the people complaining about it has a quote from a moderator bashing a highly successful team manager as his signature. The fans at Silverstone are no more "respectf...

Pirelli has this one locked up.

FI seemed to be awfully quick at blaming this on di Resta. Makes you wonder if it had anything to do with the public blame game atmosphere of that side of the garage.

Svenko Wankerov

Di Resta publicly rips his team for what was essentially bad luck, when he is lucky to have a good car to begin with. He has done absolutely nothing to suggest that he does better than any average F1 driver would do in his car. His attitude of entitlement makes him completely deserving of anything b...

It's not like Horner just showed up at Red Bull and lucked into success. He ran a highly successful F3000 team before getting into F1. Comparing Horner to technical directors is completely pointless. He doesn't design the cars and the person he has handling that is regarded as the best in the busine...

To change the subject from the usual Vettel bashing, NBC showed video of Alonso clearly lapping a Sauber under yellows.......and nothing? Is this being talked about anywhere else?

Sauber were poor because their car is a shitbox and no one on that team has any clue why.

Fight!

Might also explain why someone suddenly decided for once to give credit to the team in public for making him look good.

JEV for getting the result on pace alone and not throwing his team under the bus.

Also points to make on the tyre issue: The 2010 season featured a fantastic battle for the championship - and most races (Canada being the main exception) had durable Bridgestones. Also this season is reminding me a bit of 2005 - at the time we were all happy that it was finally no longer a German ...

Mancini is a terrible manager, his results at Citeh were from him being able to buy more talent than anyone else. He doesn't get the best out of a lot of the high-priced talent he brings in and might be the only Italian manager I know of that is completely clueless tactically. For a "cup specia...

I remember he had a ton of hype back around 2000 for his Arrows A21 design. That car was tearing up speed traps even though it had the underpowered Supertec. The problem that the car generated downforce about as well as the DRS and that the fuel tank was smaller than ones you would find in most go-k...

Meanwhile, at Force India, the glass of milk thinks his collision with Sutil cost him about 8.5 seconds. He's right to feel aggrieved, but I don't think it was that costly... " I didn't really see anything, just felt a hit on my rear tyre and looked in the mirror and saw Paul there. " He'...

Massa was completely useless. Couldn't pass or defend at all while his teammate dominated the race in every possible way.
