Re: Favorite Racing Book?
Two books that any racing fan should read are Niki Lauda's two books; "To Hell & Back" and then "For The Record". They both go into great detail about his early career, then March, BRM and Ferrari etc. His relationships with Ferrari, Forghieri[sic], Audetto, Willi Dungl etc. ...

This is terrible news. The quote from the Sky Sports boss on the BBC site says, "...this is great news for F1 fans...."

Re: 2011 Chinese Grand Prix Discussion
Does anyone else think that there is a smell of hypocricy in the air, the way Hamilton passed Button, compared to the "shock" he felt at the way button passed him last year when they swapped positions for a couple of corners ?
He "lives to win" don't you know.

Re: How To Make F1 Better- Crazy Suggestions From YOU!
I like these ! For me, the lack of overtaking has nearly always been a problem since I started watching in 1986, but the real fun has been unpredictability or a chase to the end. You know the problem this year ? Forcing drivers to run two compunds during the race. This means they have to stop. If th...

Ross Brawn should fire him and give the drive to Anthony Davidson.

What about Brendan Hartley ? Long-haired hippy who always looks like a miserable git in every picture I have seen. Very young and probably never had to worry about where the next drive is coming.
Could be the next Vettel but, more to the point, could be the next Mike Thackwell ?
