Japanese GP this weekend.:)
Usually a good race at Suzuka. I remember Raikkonen winning from 17th back in '05?

Well he's got nowhere to go. Red Bull has tied down Seb for a few more years. My team, Ferrari, won't want him as Alonso will ensure it doesn't happen + it would be silly to pair them up again. He's best off staying at Mclaren.

No, what I meant was with Seb being there, it's highly unlikely that the RB management would want to rock the boat. It's always better, in my opinion, to have one 'alpha male' in each team paired with a driver who is, by consensus, regarded less fast. I.e. Barrichello, Irvine, Coulthard, Massa, Webber. That's my take.

Fair assessment, although not sure who is the alpha male in McLaren. Lewis would definitely like to be but the wise old head is leading the brave young warrior so far.

Yes. Lewis has outqualified Jenson the majority of the time this year, but has not had the racecraft of Jenson to be ahead of him in the standings.

I like Lewis and Jenson in the same team so leave him be :lol::lol:
actually I'm with the majority on this on
Alonsos team mate again? never going to happen, not in a million years regardless of what team either of them may be at
shumi? Mercedes aren't strong enough to attract Lewis at the moment
Red Bull? haven't got the bottle to pair Lewis and Seb, look what has happened in the past when Mark had the brass neck to fight for the same piece of track with Seb? Seb was the golden boy always Mark's fault if they collided
only way Lewis is going to Red Bull for the next few year is if Seb and Red Bull have a major fall out and Seb moves on
as for Renault? they are no better than Force India, Sauber etc. etc. etc.

Not F1, but saw Dan Wheldon was killed today in a horrific pile up in IndyCar.
http://espn.go.com/racing/indycar/story/_/id/7111712/dan-wheldon-dies-following-indycar-crash-vegas
Very sad. Dan was probably (along with Dario Franchitti) the best British export we had in Indycar. I remember when he won the IRL crown a few years ago.
:(
Very sad indeed. Don't really follow Indy other than Dario.
Oh, I'm really sad to hear that :sad:
Very sad news about Dan Wheldon. His family, friends and colleagues must be devastated.
May Dan rest in peace.

I was watching this live. I saw the helmet fly off and then they showed him on the track lying still with no helmet. Then the cameras cut to the pits. I knew it was a bad one when to see the helmet fly off. Very sad news indeed.
So gutted :sad:
Marco was really a special boy, always so nice and funny, I really don't know anyone who didn't like him :sad:
24 years old: way too young to die, but I hope his family can take solace knowing he died doing what he loved most. RIP, Marco :sad:

Another dominant win for Vettel. Another strong 2nd for Jenson! Hopefully the other teams will be more of a challenge to Seb next season - take nothing away from his ability but it doesn't make for the most exciting races.
Not sure if the stewards were mindful of the anti-Lewis press but thought the accident should probably just have gone down as a racing incident - can't see where Massa was at fault.
In the post-race interview Lewis just seemed so fed up - not motivation there at all.

"Grand Chalem" today for Seb. Pole, win, fastest lap and led every lap. Seldom is this achieved.
And yes, I thought the Felipe (although I am a Ferrari fan) incident should have passed without any penalties. Lewis was not far enough ahead (he was not ahead at all) to call the apex his, and Felipe needed to be mindful that Lewis was at least there and that he could not simply disappear. But because of the history the stewards felt they needed to do something and, I believe, they did not want to be accused of being in the 'anti-Hamilton' brigade so they gave it to the driver whom they felt was most at fault. But I believe it was just a motor racing incident. When you put your car down the inside like that, you always risk contact.
Good to see my man Schumi having a strong race from 11th. :)
Congratulations to Lewis. He badly needed this win. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer::trophy:
Well done Jenson finishing third in spite of technical problems. :clap:

Faultless drive from Lewis, hope this brings back his confidence.
Wahey! Well done Lewis! Am so happy for him after everything he has gone through!
Well done to Jense too! Pity he didn't finish 2nd ahead of Alonso to secure 2nd place in the championship but hopefully next race. He is certain to finish ahead of Lewis though
Future of Kubica.

Future of Kubica.
http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/kubica-and-ferrari/
If Kubica can show he is his normal self, i think Ferrari should buy out Massa's contact and get Kubica, even a 50% Kubica is better then 100% felipe massa.
I agree with you Ace. I hope Kubica will return the sport in good form. Definitely he would be better than Massa who seemed to spend most of this year getting tangled up with Lewis. Kubica like Massa would just be another mobile chicane. :shades:
Might work for a season, but if Kubica is back to anything like his old form I can't see him being happy as a No.2 and to treat drivers equally would be a big change for Ferrari.
HRT announced on Monday that Pedro de la Rosa has signed a two-year contract to race for them starting next season.

Saw a headline saying that Lewis may drive alongside Alonso for Ferrari. Wonder how true that headline is as surely Lewis is committed to McLaren. Who knows what may happen in 2013 if Massa performs poorly next year?

I can't make my mind up, Lewis driving for Ferrari? it would be nice to see, especially after Alonso said those nice things about Lewis!! and that hug they gave each other at the end of the last race, but and it's a BIG but..... Lewis has McLaren running through his veins, "it would be the biggest betrayal ever in F1"
I thought Lewis & Alonso didn't get on? :confused:
I thought Lewis & Alonso didn't get on? :confused:
You would be right to say that Linda, but recently there's been a turn around, headed by Alonso! basically the F1 media have be going on and on about Lewis's poor driving this year (crashing into Massa loads of times and other things)
In an interview with the media at the last race, Alonso was asked about Lewis, expecting him to say negative things because of their past, but, i'm sure to their shock, Alonso had nothing but positive comments about Lewis! one of them being that Lewis could win the F1 title in not the fastest car on the grid.
Lewis was told what Alonso had said, and was left speechless at first, then had some kind words for Alonso too. Now they have this high respect for each other.
Can't see either of them playing No.2 to the other, nor can I see Ferrari treating both drivers equally. I've been wrong before though.

No I can't see either Lewis or Alonso playing #2 as they are both strong characters or Ferrari treating them equally. But who knows? It might work; we don't know what goes on behind the scenes. It'd be a shame not to have the two Brits driving for McLarens. It'll be interesting to see who takes over from Lewis if he does go to Ferrari. Mark Webber?
The last race of 2011, hope it goes out with a bang, as they are forcasting rain!
Hope the 2011 season will go out with a bang for either Lewis or Jenson. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Personally I have real doubts he'll ever be back in F1. I don't think he has recovered full use in his hands. He needs to concentrate on his recovery before even thinking about signing pre-contracts.
Robert Kubica's recovery from serious injury has suffered a setback after he fell on ice while out walking near his home, Italian news agency ANSA reports.
Kubica was taken to a local hospital for X-rays on his right leg after the fall in Pietrasanta, northern Italy. :sad:

He's going to struggle to find a top seat even when he is fully fit.
About 2 hours left in the Daytona 24 hours - it's good stuff!
.. well it was good stuff when Alan Macnish was scrapping for the lead. But at least we had brit ex F1 driver Justin Wilson in the winning team.
The "dream team" including Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti, JP Montoya and Andy's super-sized American Brother, Jamie McMurray had gearbox problems during the night and ended up in 4th
Guess Lewis won't be going round to Sutil's (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/formulaone/article-2095093/Lewis-Hamilton-coward-says-Adrian-Sutil.html) for Christmas dinner this year.

Rumours of Robert Kubica's potential move to Ferrari - should he return to F1 - refuse to die down with the latest reports claiming Ferrari will aid his comeback.
Kubica has been sidelined since his a rally accident last February when he suffered broken bones on the right side of his body and an almost severed right hand.
And despite a minor setback, the result of a slip and fall on ice earlier this month, the Pole's recovery is reportedly progressing well.

:surprised: Wow, that guy has just trashed McLaren's MP4-27!!, I'm very worried now!
I did think McLaren's exhaust, looked a bit basic too, when i first saw it, even more so now, when compared to Ferrari's
(Liked the pen and paper!) Going by the drawing and explanation of the front wing to get as much air between the wheels, ground and front body for down force!
I hope McLaren haven't messed up??
Testing going to be Interesting!
But remember thats the MP4-27-A.
These are just launch cars, and could change significantly between now and the 1st race

My Ferrari boys have unveiled their new car.

Although I do agree with them that the new rules meant the nose is “not aesthetically pleasing”. However, the majority of this year's cars will have that nose due to the new regulations. The Lotus team (Renault last year) have also revealed their new car today, and is sporting the same nose.
I don't really mind though, as long as we're fast.:)

The grid looks to have been shaken up this year.
Ferrari better pick it up--quick.
Great to see Mercedes and my old fav Schumi doing well (though the Merc could be protested against for design reasons--it would not be the start of the F1 season if there wasn't an appeal, would it? lol).
Also, wow @ Lotus. This is a great storyline. Kimi had a scruffy lap, but he will be up there for the forthcoming races. Well done to Grosjean on qualifying third. He never got to show his real abilities the first time round in F1.
I can't wait for the race to start! hoping for Lewis to do well. I watched qualifying live on a stream, hope it works for the race too.
Ferrari look a real mess, a school boy error from Alonso and Massa as usual nowhere, he really needs to up his game if he wants to stay in F1.
I like Grosjean, he had the biggest smile coming out the car, and so he should............ Kimi who??
Rosberg should get past the Redbull drivers going by his pace!

It's ok though Bernie will quietly bung them a few million to sort it out.

Aww soz for that. I wish I hadn't been so blurry eyed - I LITERALLY just woke up before the start of the race... and if I hadn't paged down - I would have probably gone back to sleep.
Instead I watched the first half of the race wishing that I had brought the netbook in to my room so as to maybe get some Journo School match reporting practice in something other than footy!
Then again - if I become a journo - I wonder if I can afford the whole Sky + HD bells and whistles package...
I am a little undecided about F1s in race commentary although I like listening to Brundle... and their post race format is awfully similar to the Beeb.
I had to chuckle because Sky Sports just can't help themselves with the interactive analysis TV thingy (as you can see, it's a highly technical term/description)...
Hope your dream team has a better run next time.

Red bull looked better in race trim than in Qualy. The inverse for Mercedes.
Williams look quick this year as well. Maldonado was right behind Alonso until he smashed in the wall.
The midfield seems a bit tighter this year as well.
Congratulations to Jenson. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :trophy:
McLaren have done well again in qualifying - a front row lock-out for Lewis and Jenson. The times are pretty close, though: 0.4s between the top 5.
Bet the Red Bulls aren't happy- Definitely clear that McLaren have the car to beat.
Nice to see Schumacher in 3rd :)

^^Agreed about Schumi. Great to see him right up there and with the speed of the Mercedes in a straight line, he will be menacing at the start of the race.
As I predicted, when Kimi is seriously quick, even though he will be demoted 5 places.
Vettel has gone another direction on tyre strategy, will start on hards. Will be intrersting to see how it all plays out.
Could see the same result as last week. Don't think Jenson will get the jump on Lewis from the start this time but Lewis looks sorer on his tyres.
^^Agreed about Schumi. Great to see him right up there and with the speed of the Mercedes in a straight line, he will be menacing at the start of the race.Can't wait - although Schumi won't have the benefit of DRS off the line but he's always been known as a good starter. Plus he's on the clean side of the grid.
With the same engine & KERS it should be more down to the driver and I think Lewis had his nose knocked out of joint last race so it'll be interesting to see if the red mist descends into the 1st corner & also who can save the most amount of boost until turn 15 which is another overtaking opportunity.
So the 1st lap should be a great start to a fascinating face and it might get really interesting if Bernie hits the rain button!
Good win for Alonso and 2nd place for Perez!!
Exciting season this is shaping out to be.
Five place grid penalty for Lewis for changing gearbox, annoying rule! robs us all for the race.
Pole for Rosberg! destroyed everyone with the perfect lap, but Mercedes have been rubbish on race day, so far this season.

So looks like Mercedes were one of the only ones who were able to 2 stop despite being the ones who 'chewed' their tyres up.
Shame the mechanic made the mistake with Schumi.:{
Congratulations to Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado :cheer::cheer: :cheer: :trophy: who took his first race victory in the Spanish Grand Prix and Williams' first since 2004 in a strategic battle with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. Nice belated 70th birthday present.
Alonso survived a late charge from Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen, who took third.
Lewis Hamilton finished 8th from the back of the grid while Jenson finished 9th. Feel for Lewis who but for a bad mistake on his team's part would surely have won the race. :grrr:
I'd never even heard of Maldonado before but well done to him! The race was certainly more entertaining that the ladies' final in Madrid. Lewis did very well to get from last place to 8th - he was 4th at one point but his team made another error in the pits :rolleyes:
Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton on his victory in the Canadian Grand Prix - a brilliant drive. Hope he keeps it going. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :trophy:

It's a shame neither Toyota finished, they were bringing it to the Audi's for a while so we did have a bit more of a race than expected after Peugeot pulled out.
Nissan won't be happy either - something like 14 nissan engined cars and they still didn't win anything!
Sad to see what happened to the Deltawing too with their driver trying for 2 hours at the side of the track (http://youtu.be/NJylUpzQ-iQ) to fix the car after Nakajima was up to his old tricks again.
The mechanics aren't allowed past the fence and they had to bring in a translator to help explain to him what to do. :(
OK, I will post something cheery next, I promise...
But a horrible crash for the Marussia test driver - hope she's going to be OK.

Lewis Hamilton quits McLaren and moves to Mercedes for next season. McLaren have signed Sergio Perez (from Sauber) to replace him; Schumacher has been pushed out of Mercedes.
Full BBC report here. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/19755236)
Not surprised really. Other than attracting sponsorship, Schumi hasn't had the most successfull phase 2 of his career.
I wouldn't mind betting that Perez will have more success with McLaren than Hamilton will have with Mercedes.
Di Resta to Ferrari now? I thought that might be Perez' destination.
How long will Rosberg be happy as a no.2?
All the best to the Mclaren boys today, 3rd and 4th on grid, push those Red Bulls back down the grid (and put Vettel behind Alonso... just because it's fun :thumbup:!!)
Good news about Robert Kubica.
Poland's Robert Kubica, whose Formula One career was put on hold after a near-fatal rally accident, will drive a Citroën rally car in two events in France and Italy during November.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/nov/05/robert-kubica-citroen-formula-one
Kubica is targetting a return to Formula One.
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/robert-kubica-eager-to-return-after-injury/305788-5-24.html
Bizarrely Ferrari have had to work on Massa's gearbox. The resulting 5 place penalty sees Alonso promoted to 7th on the grid - and onto the clean side of the track. #coincidence
All the best to Alonso in the qualifying in Brazil today, hopefully he can top Vettel. Hope Hamilton gets pole too after lasts weeks great win, would be lovely to see him win another one for Mclaren :)
Looking forward to this afternoons race.
Be nice for Hamilton to leave McLaren with a win, although i'm more of a Jenson fan so wouldn't be too upset if he won instead.
For all I think Alonso is a better driver than Vettel, it has always been a team sport, so you can't really argue that the Seb/RBR package probably deserve to win the title but we'll see.

JENSON BUTTON WINS THE BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX
CHAMPAGNE MOMENT
SEBASTIAN VETTEL WINS THE 2012 FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Great win for Jenson, although Lewis was unlucky to get taken out.
Alonso just couldn't do enough on the day - great driving to come so close in a much poorer car.
Interesting to hear the Sky commies commenting that Vettel overtook under waved yellow flags early in the race - might there be more to come?
Really felt for Lewis there! Nice win for Jenson to end on. And well done Seb!
I did cry at the end with Jake leaving. No longer the three amigos :( Initially was gutted Jenson wouldn't get interviewed by Jake at the end as they get on so wellbut cheered when Jenson came back! So sweet! You could tell they were a bit choked up! Will miss jake on BBC F1. He was brilliant!

Congrats to Seb but just can't get too excited about the Red Bull, they just don't do it for me. But if it was Ferrari, McLaren or Williams , it just would feel more exciting. Seb is a very good driver but just wished he would join a more illustrious and excitin team.

Rosberg if the Mercedes doesn't blow its tyres too quick. Alonso if they do.
Rosberg is still leading and we are quite a distance over the half way point now. Lewis has sunk back to 4th though :sad:
Well done Nico - shame Lewis had a bad pit stop that stopped him being second. :sad:
Think he was just unfortunate that they had to stack for dropping under the safety car.
Not surprised really. Other than attracting sponsorship, Schumi hasn't had the most successfull phase 2 of his career.

I thought Hamilton drove a very mature race today. Definitely a win for the driver and not the car, if you see what I mean!
Well done Lewis. Great to see him top of the rostrum again! Yep thought too that he gave a mature performance. Hope he will have a successful second half. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :trophy: :GBflag:
Lovely to see Hamilton get his first win with Mercedes!!
Absolutely agree. As far as my original post went, in no way did I think Perez is a better driver than Lewis, but I have been surprised by the relative improvement in the Mercedes and the abysmal performance of McLaren this year.
Yeah, although I guess the main news and banter for the minute is who Red Bull is going to pinch for their replacement of Mark Webber. I have a feeling it could be Kimi Raikkonen, although Alonso is possible. However, I would love to see Massa in a Red Bull!
Anyone catch the Belgium Grand Prix? Wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, and Vettel winning isn't all that exciting either :sad: Hamilton did well to get third though :)
Not quite sure why, but PdR continuing his cunning plan to make sure he isn't linked with a top drive!
Great to have some news of Robert Kubica. He is being considered for a WRC drive with Citroen in 2014 after a successful debut year in WRC2 this year.
Doesn't sound as if he will make a comeback in F! which is a shame.
http://www.espn.co.uk/f1/motorsport/story/120189.html
Whilst I've always admired his driving I've never been won over by Lewis Hamilton the person.
Seems I've been proved right by his petty childish behaviour with the press this weekend.
Whilst I've always admired his driving I've never been won over by Lewis Hamilton the person.
Seems I've been proved right by his petty childish behaviour with the press this weekend.
Sorry but I have to disagree. Firstly I have met the guy and I have an equal respect for Lewis
as I do for Andy. As with both of them I have had to say to the people who criticise, you need
to do your home work before passing judgement.
Both are very misunderstood by the naysayers and the uneducated.
Lewis was trying to make a point, I believe. A poignant one too.
I haven't watched an F1 presser for ages because they are the same old same old.
Lewis I believe cares for and is more aware and connected to his fans that most drivers.
The time he spent signing autographs at Silverstone this year was 10 fold compared to
any other driver I saw. He's passionate about his sport in a very similar way to Andy.
Quote from link below:
"They [fans] can just go on my Instagram, I put all my feelings on there," he said. "If you see my post, you see how passionate I am about this team."
I have people saying to me all the time that they don't agree with some of Andy's
antics on court. (swearing,cursing etc)
My reply is always the same, he's passionate, he cares and he's exciting, not boring.
Funny they normally reply but he is boring, to which I reply make your mind up, not
many boring people swear and curse on TV and have the capability to reach the top
echelons of their chosen profession.
No I'm sorry but in this instance the end could justify the means. For once.
When huge amounts of money get into sport the fan gets drowned out.
We all know about that, ie Davis cup changes and tennis in general.
As for being disrespectful, well he poked fun at himself firstly/too.
http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10606874/media-snap-back-at-lewis-hamilton-after-distracted-press-conference
Admittedly I haven't met him but his behaviour this weekend is very childish and disrespectful to those that fund his obscenely high wage bill.
Admittedly I haven't met him but his behaviour this weekend is very childish and disrespectful to those that fund his obscenely high wage bill.
Sorry but when did the Press fund his wage?
He was just trying to say that it's time for change in the press interviews. imo.
He has never been disrespectful to his team, ever.
It's his team that pay his wages. Yes his wage inevitably is performance related in the end.
Just as in any sport no boss is going to pay more than a persons worth.
As for obscenely high wage well that's all relative isn't it?
Is any top flight sports man worth more or less than they are being paid?
I would suggest if they are, it will in the main be adjusted in time, either way.
Talent will be spotted and rewarded on the whole just as lack of it will be too.
And the income go up or down with it.
No I think you will find he was trying to point something out in his own way.
As I keep saying to people if someone says / does something and it upsets/
offends another the most important thing is was upset/offence intended.
If not then the problem is only with the offended not the perceived offender.
Just as in this case right here. We both have an opinion just not the same one.
Remember nobody can hurt/offend you without your permission.
I'm not certain I'm right but I believe given time Lewis will explain if he feels
he needs to and it won't be anything like the press are saying.
More like they felt offended by him pointing out that the of the same old
questions again and again, are an insult to the general public.
The press don't fund his wages, but through them is how stars communicate with the public, without whom there would be no sport.
The earnings of all top flight sports stars are obscene, not just Lewis, which is why they are expected to follow certain protocols regardless of their feelings.
Is it a coincidence that Lewis feels that now (only the second time in his career he's been close to second best in his own team) is the time to spit the dummy?

1 That's right the press don't fund his wages, and yes through them is just one way they communicate with their public.
As I said before the press interviews are getting very boring and he's not on his own in thinking this. He is one of the leaders
in using social media to reach his fans.
2. Saying his or any ones earnings are obscene is immaterial to the discussion. As imo capping earnings will never work.
Worth is such an ambiguous line to have to draw in the sand. What are any of us worth?
NB. I wonder what Jules Bianchi's Family and friends think he was worth?
3. As for it being a coincidence? Could it also be that it coincides with the New order/boss/owner.
Who might just listen to the belief that it's time for change? Instead of the same old protocol.
"Here's your nasty medicine now drink up, there's good boy's"
As for dummy spitting he was smiling/jokey/happy when he did what he did.
Didn't see/hear Carlos getting upset about it either.
Those who want to see it as Lewis being childish will. No matter what.
Just as all those who judged Andy all those years ago when he joked
in front of the camera with Tim about who he would be supporting in the
World Cup.
And just like Andy I know he adores his fans. No F1 driver spends more time with them
or appreciates them more imho. Maybe you not feeling like you can be a fan of him on
a personal level is the reason why you thought how you did.
In the words of Paul Simon
"All lies and jest, still a man hears what he want's to hear and disregards the rest. Hmmmm"
So there you go, I could be wrong, and so could you.
Sure it will all come out in the wash.
But make no mistakes the similarities in the "He's just misunderstood camp" are huge.
Congratulations to Lewis on a great win over Vettel.
Good race to watch.

Have just watched the recording. Great race. Hamilton really is a super driver. Such quick reaction to make the overtake.

Great crowds at Silverstone and as usual Lewis acknowledged their support.
Great drive Lewis. As has been said he always acknowledges the crowd.
I noticed most of the comms were in agreement with the Press camp of "Lewis should'ave turned up at the London gig" before the emphatic win.:rolleyes:
Then in the words of EJ (the biggest critic) "looks like he knew what he was doing all along, he concentrated on the job in hand, and that is possibly the most comprehensive F1 weekend I've ever seen.
He blew them all away" That's right E J he did and he still kept his fans up to date via his social media.
So to all Lewis hating press, the nay sayers and Bumper car Seb.
I say, "T-A-K-E T-H-A-T." :raspberry:-:fingersear:
Oh and Lewis,, top job mate,:thumbup: just let your driving do the talking would be my advise. Then there is less chance of being misunderstood by those who don't do their homework,
(But not in the same way as your nearest rival eh?)

Luck didn't enter into it for once it was purely Sebs desire to bully Max that was his and the whole of Ferrari's undoing.
Actually that's not strictly true, He's lucky he didn't get a penalty. (according to all the C4 interviews)
Also looking at the replay from on board Lewis's car he was close to taking Lewis out.
It was only because Lewis saw him coming and him hitting the brakes, letting Seb go that allowed Lewis to brilliantly take the win. Imo.
