I noticed the resemblance too when they interviewed him at one GP. If he was his son, it would be almost expected, but for a nephew? It's eerie, all right.

Mind you, looks and name mean nothing if he doesnt back them up with performances. (but in his defence, its a brand new team) I wish him well...

If you ask me, Button is in F1 for the lifestyle, but comes off as a poor mans (im more ways than one) Kimi Raikkonnen. Thats just my personal opinion though

Collieafc

With the rose tinted glasses on, I would say F197. At the time it was just amazing, as if you were on TV. Thing is, nowadays, it looks like the back of a baboon. Really, it depends on how nostalgic you are willing to be. If your not bothered, GPM2 is good enough for your management needs. For racing...

I was going to suggest Most Anonymous Driver of the Year. I would vote for Nick Heidfeld as nobody noticed him despite a good season. I noticed that as well. When BMW had the uptick in form (after announcing they were leaving...), Kubica got an IIDOTR from the forum members, but Heidfeld never got ...

I know its from the Sun, and it shouldnt be trusted as far as you can throw it (I only ended here while looking for pics for the insert caption thread) but it at least shows us 12 "main players" who are not officially signed anywhere and should (to a point) be kept in mind (m) AN astonishi...

Collieafc

Me too. There's little point in winning at any cost - that's not what real racers do. I would disagree, but I know that I appear to be in a minorty there (I think the points system in races should be changed as right now imo it dulls the need to try to win, whereas I get the feeling that a lot of p...

Undoubtedly, the 2005 US GP. It should have been rescheduled, but no, there had to be the stubborness of Ferrari... If I was Ferrari I would have done the same tbh. Its one of those things that you disagree with, but if you were in their position you would do it yourself As for rejects, I wouldnt n...

Waste time on Formula 1 forums...

Or read about Formula 1. Or play GPM2

Privateer teams tend to stay in F1 because that is their business. Thats why they exist. Manufacturers only see it as another publicity stunt, another plaything

Collieafc

I remember Max used to have his own page in F1 Racing. I thought it was actually quite good. He would usually tackle controversial or popular issues too, and was really good at putting his point across. Max and Bernie may have created the problem of high cots but at least they tried to react to it b...

Surely with their bailout from F1 confirmed, it has to be Toyota?

Collieafc

McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen could be one option for Toyota, with Force India's Adrian Sutil also being linked in connection with the team. Japanese Kamui Kobayashi will also put himself firmly in the frame if he impresses again this weekend, following an encouraging debut in Brazil. Sutil AND Kobay...

What the hell? Who's Kimi's manager, he must be brilliant. EDIT: I can only imagine that he worked a huge pay increase if he won the World Championship into his contract. There's no way he could command 3x Alonso's salary otherwise. I think di Montezemolo gave Kimi that ridiculous salary as a way o...

Collieafc

Do particular issues count? I got right back into Formula One after Shcumacher retired, and I started buying copies of F1 Racing every month. I had the odd copy lying around, the first being the Schumacher vs. Villeneuve issue in 1997. However, after abut five or six issues of 2007's run, I began t...

Collieafc

Despite what he says, Bernie will have a british grand prix. Not only because that F1 interest in the UK is high thanks to 2 world champions, but also because it sells out, or at least gets good crowds. There was already a lot of complaints about Turkey where they were racing in front of empty grand...

Collieafc

Kobayashi on a street circuit could be very interesting... I can just picture a queue of drivers complaining because he is actually trying to defend and attack!

Collieafc

I think its good the BBC show the old stuff. The only gripes I have is that the voters are largely Mansell-centric and (IMO, but my opinion only) anti-Schumi, so sometimes jingoism gets the nod

Collieafc

Its got to be one of the few F1 sites where fanboyism shouting matches are not rife.

Nice work guys

That would actually be interesting...maybe

I dont know, I wasnt at the speech. I only seen it in the student paper that day, but got a sight (and autograph!) of him afterwards

Collieafc

No, disagree. The bosses at Mercedes are serious, long term thinkers in terms of F1 (14 years and running). What they'll see is a long-standing relationship, amazing capacity and facilities, consistent experience at the very sharp end of the F1 paddock, versus a dominant half season. Well, it sort ...

There's a bus driver in Sunderland who for years has given a kind of "tour guide" to the areas he passes on the journey. He will quite often have sweets out for children to take if they wish and during the christmas holiday weeks he dresses up as santa and passes out cuddly toys to parent...

Although I dont think much of Button, the fact is he had the most wins so in my book that makes him the champion. The car did play a big part but the fact is that the Chello did not make as good use of the same equipment. And the Red bulls seemed to lack a bit of...something speacial Either way, suc...

Are we so used to the stewards' inane scrutiny of the rulebook over every tiny move on-track that we've forgotten what racing is all about? Hell, Cowboy-ashi is a breath of fresh air in a room full of stale, processional drivers. So he moved over on Button and closed the door on Nakajima. Welcome t...

Because they have achieved almost as much success with a merc engine in one season as mclaren have since 1996? I know that its not like that. We all know there are many factors ard reasons for this. But to some Mercedes bigwig in a boardroom, all they will see is the total driver/constructor titles ...

Are all F1 games on PS2 utterly shite? I gave up on F1 03 after one go as it was unplayable, F1 04 is little better even on easy mode but I thought I'd have a go at career mode anyway. I haven't got a race seat so the AI is generating the races and in every one whoever starts in 20th (seemingly som...

Andrea Montermini. Oh wait, he drove for all of the big 3 reject teams... (that and that massive crash in Spain 94)

Nicola Larini. Vitantonio Liuzzi as well (yes I know hes back, but still...)

I have been playing F1 06 for the PS2 recently. In one race in Hungary on career mode i started 19th but something happened with the AI as they all went into a very slow conga line before the first turn, except for me and (of all drivers) Ide! Result was that at the end of lap ! it was Midland, Ide,...

Until this year I would have said Jenson Button... But I would agree with Trulli, Fisi, Frenzen, Montoya as well. I will also be controversial and say Jacques Villeneuve too. The fact he didnt lead a single lap after winning the 1997 title makes you wonder just how much of it was down to the car. I ...
