They raced in Hungary in 1989 a couple of months before a revolution, though I don't think there was any conflict when the race was on. There may have been political upheaval in Brazil and Argentina around the time of F1 in the 1950's, 60's and 70's but I don't know anything specific.

I think Alonso learned from Kimi Raikkonen -- let the feuding teammates take each other out of the title hunt. But I also think he realizes that the #1 driver in Red Bull, namely, Vettel, is a bit too far back in points to make a run at the title unless he makes a mistake or the car lets him down. ...

I'm still holding out for Bertrand Baguette to be the next F1 driver from the Low Countries. The first driver to be named after a type of sandwich.

I've only just turned 18 and this forum is by far the most enjoyable and the most insightful that I visit (I only visit two, but never mind). Only watching Peep Show and The Thick of It give me as many laughs as this forum does, and they're only on for a few weeks every year. Now we've vanquished th...

The BBC make the last 15 laps of the race unavailable on both TV and radio on the BBC iplayer.

Aaargghhhhhhhhhh!!!

Without looking up the answer your talking about the 1983 Toleman (TF183???) in the hands of Derek Warwick and Ayrton Senna. The special feature could be the design of the airbox, or that high, bulky front wing the Toleman had in its early days (I'm thinking of the 1982 British GP when Warwick ran 2...

An article in The Guardian today which talks about the facilities in Korea. For one person to describe it as "A bit like a very run-down, seedy Blackpool" makes me think he hasn't been to Blackpool in about four decades.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to not apologise for that Hitler comment last year and then suggest that Saddam Hussein "Knew how to turn the lights off" and made Iraq a safer country. He may be right and he's allowed to have his own views, but he really shouldn't mention vicious world lead...

Isnt that a reference to plastic surgery? Where does that fit in?

If we ever have a race in Los Angeles it would fit in nicely. Otherwise the meaning is lost on me.

Ah, harking back to the "Good old days" Its a British disease, when Daily Mail readers think of the days when we ruled half the world and lived in an age of deference to the upper classes in society. British people love nostalgia, talking about the weather and moaning about the national fo...

Almost as brilliant as Valencia??? I thought his drive yesterday was better than the performance at Valencia, as he overtook more cars in a race than most drivers do in half a season and also invented a new overtaking place. In both races he was superb, but I think Suzuka was better. He really is a ...

Get your papaya and pomegranate shield ready - How dare you moan about the one driver who does any overtaking!!!

A compilation of Kamui's overtaking moves in the race.

Massa could also have simply let Sutil and Rosberg go through - if he really wanted to he would not have gone down the inside of Rosberg and crashed. I still largely blame him for the accident.

If anyone's interested, Max Mosley is on Question Time tonight (if you don't know, this is a show where members from the leading parties and as couple of others discuss politics). Given what his Dad got up to I'm fascinated as to where on the political spectrum he'll be.

Prospective F1 drivers are generally really desperate people.

They probably will be during the gymnastics.

Hang on, I'm not doing surveys for other people's websites. This should be looked into by the mod squad (look at the links posted below the guy's comments)

This is a F1 racetrack. No, seriously.

Try pronouncing Llanelli properly. You need, in the words of Edmund Blackadder "Half a pint of phlegm in your throat" to pronounce it correctly and even then "You'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight".

No insult meant there, I actually quite like Wales.

My aunt was in The Bill for a while in the late 1980's.

Motorsport??? I've sat in what I think was a 1999 Jordan at the Enfield Car pageant several years ago, but I don't know where the photo is. Remember how snug the car was though.

Revs are up, ready for a start!!!

I hope to hear this next season, I'd prefer more irreverent commentary and Cox provides that. Saying that hearing a cat scratching metal is an improvement to listening to Legard

Not for the first race or two, Heidfeld will need that time to adapt to the Sauber. He may out-qualify our beloved Kamui, but I doubt he'll beat him in race trim. Kamui in races has been excellent since Valencia.

I agree with you, I'll help you dig. We'll build a trench as deep as the German trenches in the Battle of the Somme.

That's not Eau Rouge, I believe that's the Raidillion.

Force India should go like stink at Monza, they have loads of grunt and a decent low downforce package. Sutil was 5th at Spa and hardly got a mention, which is a credit to him. He could challenge for the podium this weekend, I expect him to finish in the top 5. Red Bull should struggle here, on the ...

I laughed at loud at that one.

There was a race in China planned to be the 3rd race of the 1999 season, the location I believe was Zhuhai (It began with a Z anyway). The F1 race never took place, though it may have been used for other formulae.

Cleveland airport may have been a rubbish track but provided great racing - the 1995 CART race was wonderful, the race is on Youtube and is well worth watching. You even get Robby Gordon ranting at Michael Andretti over the team radio.

Having just seen an advert with Nigel Mansell with that terrible Iranian "Comedian" who's name I've forgotten for car insurance it must be up there with television's worst.

Massa 2.8s off Alonso's time, he's worth a mention.
