Actually, the Brexit referendum result was also technically non-binding and an advisory result only for the sitting government and...

Well, yeah, and Merc try to be as teutonic as they can but Ferrari have given their full time drives to foreigners every season since, what, Capelli? Prost tried to keep it as French as they could with Panis and Alesi (I think).

I also enjoyed the article, the spreadsheets made for a fascinating, if hard to fathom, read. You have to admire Prosts patriotism but in light of his and others' failures (US F1?) you have to wonder if we'll ever see a national team succeed in F1. Maybe this China F1 Racing Team thing?

I'd never even considered that. Even if they keep saying 'we're The F1 team' hoping it will catch on it will still sound dumb.

Anyway, it's time for me to go to the lavatory now as my constipation doesn't appear to be easing so I guess I'll just have to, drum roll, force one. So, for once, you're full of sh*t?

I do like Force One as a team name as it reeks of 1970s/80s naffness to be honest.

Great race, really exciting. For all that these drivers are meant to exemplify the pinnacle of motorsport sometimes you really just need them all to act like knobheads to produce great entertainment, and that's what we had by the bucketload yesterday. I don't think Hamilton brake-tested Vettel but I...

I must confess to feeling a bit sorry for JolPal. His over driving in the practice sessions was more than a little epic, like a 1990s standard Reject. I hope he sticks around.

Meanwhile, the Honda clown show rolls into Baku, with McLaren all but guaranteed to lock out the back row of the grid . I'd be amazed if this partnership lasts beyond the end of July, quite frankly. Enough is enough and I repeat my belief that McLaren and Honda should just take the rest of the year...

According to Planet Funk, sorry, PlanetF1, Force India are weighing up a change of moniker.

Does anybody have any suggestions? I've already posted my suggestion of "Racey McRace Face". No response yet.

Or will we have the ultimate sacrilege: McLarens with Ferrari engines? Ron Dennis may be no more but I'd like to think there are still enough proper McLaren people left that that would never happen. I'd also like to believe that, on receipt of said Ferrari units, the mechanics would refuse to touch...

Brilliant read, Ataxia. Although you did miss out it's most famous export - William Shatner.

Holey buckets, that's pretty impressive. Having read a bit more about the test my feelings were very much 'Palmer out! Kubica in!!' But I think I need to calm down. The lad might have been bollocksed after 100+ laps and needed ice packs, been unable to move, massages, who knows what? Also, as safe a...

CoopsII

As I started this thread I was really pleased, thinking that even at 32 may Kubica could maybe one day compete again. Then as I read on about the situation with his arm reality came back with a thump (I haven't seen any pictures and I'd prefer not to).

Such a shame.

I hadn't forgotten about Gabriele Tarquini but I did forget he'd had such a long F1 career, I had it in my head he'd just done that one race in 1995 for Tyrell. Doh! You forgot the AGS dream team from 1991?! (NB doesn't include first 2 races of the season) I did indeed. It may be because he had hai...

I agree with the previous two posts entirely and the dichotomy is that we're often told that F1 should be more accessible but with accessibility comes familiarity and so complacency. The genie is well and truly out of the bottle, though.

In the Indy 500s defence, had Alonso been in serious contention for the F1 title and he was putting in the level of effort and focus you'd expect him to there's no way he would've been able to be competitive at Indianapolis (also assuming there was no calendar clash). He's been able to forget about ...

1 - Erriccssonn - I'm sure he was upset but he should take some consolation that he's earned a form of immortality on here.
2 - Jenson Alexander Lyons Button MBE - A parting gift to all of us on here, taking one for the team in order to kickstart the race. So long Champ.
