2011 F1 Thread

I think Kimi is plenty motivated to drive a car as fast as possible. What I think he has no time for is all the media appearances and fluff associated with beinga driver in F1. I am sure Williams will be nowhere near as demanding of his time then McLaren and Ferrari.

I think he was still plenty motivated in his last season at Ferrari. you only have to look how bad Fisi was in the same car to realise just how bad the car was....remembering that Fisi almost beat Kimi at Spa in a Force India a few GP earlier....he could not get anywhere near Kimi when in the same car. And as the year rolled on without Massa and the car setup went towards Kimi then the pace improved.

I'd love to see Kimi back in F1. The most naturally talented driver of the last decade. The story of his path to F1 is pretty remarkable.

Also hope the story of the Kube's recovery is true!

kimi looked a good 20kg over weight at one point, i dont think he can lose that in 3 months.

mind you i cant find any resent pics of him so he may of lost some already.

[dezz]

20kg in 12 weeks? really don't see that being an issue...

no Daniel Ricciardo at the indian gp.

part of the deal was for the Australian to step aside at the Indian GP, allowing Narain Karthikeyan to return to the race-seat that was initially his.

I hope Kubica comes back as well. But I'm not going to get my hopes up too much until I see how he goes in a car.

Maybe if Ricky has a good run between now and then they can dump the spacer in the other car instead.

there'a more to Massa v Lewis at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The controversy over Massa's run-in with Lewis Hamilton is refusing to die down after formula1.com revealed an official video edit of the race in which Massa's race engineer Smedley could be heard saying: "Hold Hamilton as much as we can. Destroy his race as much as we can. Come on, boy..."

i cannot find the video on youtube, if you want to see it you will have to sign up to formula1.com.

can't wait to see Massa driving for one of the bottom-feeder teams

[Roy]

Its all a load of UK-BBC/Internet hogwash.

Smedley gives Massa a 2sec pep talk to get him to lift his game and keep pace so that come pitstops Massa will stay ahead...and the whiney poms are making out that somehow Massa had Hamo off or forced Hamo to run into the back of him

So, ie next. Ready to move on!

[dezz]

Alonso is fighting for second place in the WDC, so any points they can stop Hamilton from scoring will only help...I don't see an issue with Massa being told to destroy someones race, as long as he does it fairly (staying in front of them).

Besides, it was Hamilton, he doesn't need any help f**king his race up.
