Oh, my. Just entered the forum this morning after a few days of inactivity and found out this. Has anyone tried to reach Jamie and Enoch by mail? I guess someone already has, to no avail, but I think we should try to do a common push to reach them before the forum goes offline. Maybe write a standar...

I know he didn't do anything daft, but it's about time Adrian Sutil gets a ROTR and I fear he has just four opportunities left. How many weekends in a row has he been outpaced and outraced by Gutiérrez Gutiérrez now?

Well, officially it was never recorded. On board footage would have helped us understand the nature of the crash but FIA didn't even show that, which is understandable given the seriousness of the situation. Still, I am curious as to what ''pictures'' Spanish TV said they had of the crash. I meant ...

They never show. Like senna crash last few seconds is not yet released.

Well, officially it was never recorded.

Let's hope for the best. Keep pushing Jules!

Ferrim

This isn't a prediction contest I know (that's Predicament Predictions!) but I suspect that Jamie and Enoch will go for a more abstract ROTR than just a team, driver or group of people (stewards etc) because they haven't done so for a while! Whilst Sutil sticks out as a poor performer, clumsy and s...

In a way, I want Hamilton to win the title if only for the reaction on here and the resulting karma Some will be like: http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-suicide.gif Personally, I'll be fine if Hamilton gets a second title but I wouldn't care if he won another title or not after...

F1 Strategists! Like 15 laps from home I was able to see that the laptimes were becoming so stupidly slow that it would be better for the guys on the harder tyre to pit, switch to the softer one and overtake the crawls in front! I'm amazed that no one even tried - Räikkönen was the obvious candidat...

Yet another solution to yet another inexistent problem. It's only because of the FOM broadcasting that we have become aware of this phenomenon. I don't think it's a problem, but if they feel it is - just stop broadcasting that kind of messages. If you fear fans will complain, then it means fans like...

As terrific as Alonso's performance has been, I'll go with Daniel Ricciardo in number 1. I'm not sure too many people would have made that move on Hamilton that has won him the race.

Naturally, second place has to be Fernando Alonso for one of his best drives ever. And that's saying something.

I might be mistaken, but that has to be the most competitive outing by a woman in an official F1 session since Lella Lombardi.

Ferrim

If Sutil doesn't stand on the podium in Hockenheim he will break the record for the most F1 starts without a podium, breaking Pierluigi Martini's 19-year record. It would be even more unusual if -as it is rumoured- he finally doesn't take part at all in the race, since if I've understood it correct...

Hi James - and thanks for your contribution. I fully understand your point, and I can even picture myself circa 1990, if Internet and myself had been born 25 years earlier, saying "I refuse to take all the races of the championship in consideration, this is just Balestre trying to help Prost, i...

I'm going to slightly nominate Alonso for what I saw as trying to play mind games with Vettel after the race. "Look, our car was horrible, we had a lot of problems, we were thinking about retiring the car, he would have got past me at some point anyway..." I might be reading a bit too much...

A month ago it looked like Hamilton would run away with the title. Now it's the other way around. I love it!

For once I doubt him on this. He did a very pessimistic post a couple of weeks ago saying the outcomes were very bad for patients who have been in a coma for this long. Now he's saying that he left the coma when Kehm said he had moments of conciousness. I might be interpreting it wrong, but I think...

Ferrim

The thing is, he was no longer in a coma a couple of months ago, when he had "moments of consciousness and awakening". The only news is that he's being discharged, but the extreme secretism with which the family has been managing the whole situation doesn't make me feel that optimistic. Wh...

I had this game and played it to death. I think its still the only F1 game to include all the drivers that drove in that particular season unlike modern games that aim to be on sale as the season starts thus ruining any opportunites to change drivers mid-season.

Kimi Räikkönen's luck is a good candidate, actually. But I believe it must go to Esteban Gutiérrez for maybe blowing out 9th in the constructors for Sauber. Yeah, the season is long and it's just two points - but the car looks worse than last year's Williams, and it took a late effort by Bottas in t...

No contest, Bianchi for president!

He was extremely fast yesterday morning (like 2 seconds off the pace with the harder compound) and I was a bit gutted that he had trouble in qualifying. Terrific start today and great race after, his move on Kobayashi wasn't the cleanest though.

As Ataxia says, it would seem to be out of character for Nico to do something like that intentionally, so I'd be surprised if he consciously chose to park the car there to cause a yellow flag (although I would like to point out to Ataxia that Rosberg has occasionally been officially criticised for ...

It's hard to believe that Brabham got pulled over for anything more than a routine check.

No comments about the winner here? Disappointing! For the fourth time in a row, I correctly predicted the result for our Spanish entry.

I think it is too... but there really haven't been many classic races. Except maybe Pastor's win.

1996 has to be up there.

I've just learned the cars had 1000 horsepower last year.
