God Lewis talks shit! In BBC interview he has stated how "its funny" that as an 8yr old the parents of other kids he catted against used to tell him that he didnt have it. His teachers at school and headmaster said he wouldnt achieve anything.....WTF is this guy on about with his victim complex!!!!

Anyone see this?

[Kinks]

^^ Yep. Slowing down that much (even close to the pit wall) is dangerous. Have seen F1 drivers do it occasionally when they've won the WDC.. but I don't buy the "suspension damage" bit at all. He is bullshitting. It's a straight bit of track, coast down until the next corner and THEN slow down or go off track and park it. He certainly had suspension damage after the accident though

A 2 race suspension isn't enough. He is utterly unapologetic and doesn't seem to understand that what he did was dangerous.

Interesting read....

I am biased but hoping the fact that Ferrari were in serious contract negotiations with Romain pre signing of Vettel means that giving Kimi the boot at the end of the year should see him promoted. Hulk, deserves a good seat but I am rooting for James Allisons time at Lotus and suspicion that he was a driving opinion behind discussions with him last year will see a rocket put up Vettel to ensure that both drivers are pushing to keep Fezz at the pointy end...something Kimi cant do

Hulk...give him Massa's seat. He is driving well this year, but I understand there is an option for next year...and frankly time for some new blood and reckon Hulk vs Bottas would be a great combination for Williams and their best chance to stepping up against Mercedes next year

Oh...and FOM still havent called me about a job for next year

Romain got a beating by Kimi at Lotus... Why on earth would anyone entertain the idea of replacing Kimi, who's getting whupped by all the top guys he gets paired with, with a bloke who couldn't even keep up with him?

[djr81]

Because the F1 drivers special relativity theory takes into consideration the age and experience of the drivers.

Kimi - not as fast as he once was.

Romain - faster than when he was paired with Kimi.

Romain blew up when he had a shot at a win in Spain...would have won given Vettel blew up iirc.

He moved over repeatedly for Kimi...when Kimi announced he was leaving and wasnt given on track preference look at the back half of 2013.

I know i am a fanboy but the guy trounced Kimi in 2013 and despite a turbulent 2012 qualified well and had some good races to go with the bad

[dezz]

Italian press reporting Bottas signed at Ferrari for 2016

[Roy]

God i hope not...boring Fezz line up....i want some fireworks. Put an emotional and fast Frenchman in there to see how fired up they all get when the German starts getting emotional. It will be status quo with Bottas

[MatthewT85]

anyone else see the change in engineer to driver conversations on warm up lap?

no info on start procedure allowed after car leaves pits... more shit starters to occur?

RIP Jules. Trop triste

[tweety bird]

Sad day.

[Missileman]

Very sad news indeed, R.I.P. Jules Bianchi.

[25GTT]

RIP Jules, so sad. Didn't think this would happen.

[Anfanee]

Sad day for f1

[djr81]

Well finger boy won, MB crashed into Dan a lot and the Lotuses collected more penalties than you could poke a stick at. Good race? Not really unless you like watching ineptitude.

[Roy]

Exciting race... Could have been a good race.

Seems Alonso so and Button are the only ones that race and leave other room now. Hatchet jobs are far too common.
