I'm cross at F1 right now so the suggestion my opinion isn't a fair and balanced one probably carries some weight. However, my perception of F1 now and in the near future is that it is made of plastic. I cannot currently describe it any better. I foresee my future F1 viewing consisting of DVD revie...

Yes, because Mark Webber acting like a passive-aggressive loser would sure be a joy to see, wouldn't it? Unfortunately that woulda been perfectly incharacter for Mark. I always tended to respect Webber's conduct in regards to the team when you consider just how much he had to tolerate there - he ra...

Jenson's Japanese skills.

Ferrari only have themselves to blame. Towards the end of his Lotus stint, you could see as the money troubles mounted, Kimi's form was dwindling, Grosjean was starting to impose himself as the #1 driver. Frankly, Ferrari hired the wrong Lotus driver. Romain is a little unlucky not to be a race win...

Has Nico finally gotten the upper hand on Lewis? Seems so, atleast on the mental side of things. When he shouted to the crowd in German in a very enthusiastic manner, I feel as though Nico was trying to psychologically bury Lewis, since Hamilton can't speak German (as far as I know!). I'd have to d...

Vettel. Once again failing in the midst of backmarkers.

Dishourable mentions - Red Bull teams, Williams strategists.

Managed to catch the dying seconds of Q3 listening to Radio 5 at work. Cannot believe I missed a Massa pole and Williams front row! Hopefully some torrents have been uploaded somewhere already.

Can we Please have less shots of folk in the pit garages and to those folk who say ooooh it adds tension.... to which I say is b#llsh|t! There are occasional moments when I don't mind it, i.e if a close member of family is a particular character (who didn't like Jenson's father?), but for the most ...

Sounds like the rather peculiar era when they would split the scoring between turbo and non-turbo on the same board.

1. Ricky - thoroughly well earned win with that pass
2. Pérez - really impressive till his race ended prematurely

HM - Button, Hulk, Rosberg, the Canadian Grand Prix. Jesus that was a barnstormer.

3rd - Massa. Doing great until his last 10 laps 2nd - Vettel. Shown up by his younger teammate, useless and clumsy attempts at overtaking, and bitched on the radio about strategy for his own perpetual inability to overtake anything. 1st - Chilton. Taking out your teammate is the ultimate racing faux...

As far as I can tell, all the aggression and conflict appears to be originating from Hamilton, but when you really consider the the circumstances it was pretty inevitable; - High pressure environment - Idolisation of Senna (which I reckon made this happening in Monaco considerably worse than it woul...

To quote Lewis after the race, "We're not friends". He's going to sulk himself into losing the WDC at this rate. A very cringe-inducing moment. Rosberg actually appeared relatively conciliatory, which judging by his great sportsmanship having come second in the last few races we can't cha...

Wow I thought I was going to be alone in choosing Hamilton and Vettel for their utterly pathetic behaviour.

Honourable mentions - Sauber, Kimi's luck, Benedict Cumberbunch.

Can't give it to the Renault engines as they were partly responsible for getting Bianchi points.

SgtPepper

1. Bianchi
2. Kimi

Edit - Honourable mention to Sutil for a great few moves before he eventually lost it.

Even Benedict Cumberbunch can't ruin points for Marussia.

Epic race.

Kimi you beautiful man.

It's a pity this forum doesn't have the capability to run polls as I'd be interested to get a general feeling on how many people think Rosberg snafu'd on purpose. Personally, I don't think he did but I can see why many might think otherwise. I'm leaning towards it being accidental, but then again I...

Benson wrote this pearl of F1 knowledge based on what I can only call as 'facts': And then as now, the out-and-out fastest driver of the era was in one of the cars, and quickly established himself as the championship favourite. Hamilton finds himself in the Senna role; Rosberg the Prost, a driver n...

Everyone but Mercedes - You know when your car is a dog when the two leaders are a pitstop ahead in under 20 laps. Everyone has been caught off guard by the potency of the Merc, and right now, I can't see anyone getting their shite together enough to be able to mount a serious challenge to Mercedes...

Is the legend of Ayrton Senna now just a cliché, in that it is trotted out so often.... I would argue not really.

Sure, Ferrari may be difficult to drive and may also have found its fair share of trouble. Nevertheless, what we are learning from that intra-team battle is what some were already expecting: Kimi, Fernando is faster than you. All that's left are excuses... In my eyes, the huge gap between these two...

Ok, seriously where have Mclaren gone? This is worrying.

I don't know if this has already been posted, but there's statistical evidence to prove that Ukyo Katayama is the most crash-prone driver in F1 history, with Hunt the Shunt and De Crasheris nearby on the podium.
