mstillhere, you gave yourself away when you said you didn't pay good money to listen to "commentators continuously criticize my team". But that is their job, mstillhere, to give critical analysis of...

Geoff Willis is a puzzle. Some at Williams say he was a genius, others a disaster. When he moved to Honda, he started to look pretty good for a while, and there must have been a lot of embarrassed...

Reading your post: 00:01
Arguing with my wife (also a lawyer) about the doctrine of "respondeat superior": 02:30
Researching reference to the Black Mountain case: 00:10...

You refer, 555, to the doctrine of "respondeat superior" which holds that in certain cases the boss must answer for the screw-ups of his employee. But the doctrine is inapplicable where, as in this...

Happy Birthday, Andrea. We want to be banned by you, by you and nobody else but you; we want to be banned by you alo-o-one.

Fiero, usually I agree with you, but not on this one because Michael was not pushed into retirement, and Brawn knows it better than anyone; so he can't be upset about something that didn't happen,...

I agree with you, GP-M3, that there are any number of ways it could be competitively useful to McLaren to have a fresh copy of Ferrari's 2007 operation or design manuals sitting on their shelves at...

That's not what the FIA said, ioan. What they said was that the drawings were such as could be used to design, test, run, etc. a Ferrari. They were just defining the drawings, that's all,...

I think that if you're going to criticise a circuit, you should specify; are you saying it's bad on TV, or bad from the edge of the track. If it's the view from the edge of the track that you're...

Actually, truefan, I agree with you. Indy is a fascinating, challenging puzzle for the F1 engineer. At Indy, the arguments about set-up are more intense (and influential on the outcome) than at any...

My father-in-law's best mate in the Army was Jim Partz. No one, apparently, was ever more desperate to be promoted to Sergeant than Private Partz.

Pretty good, for the most part. Ralf needs to try harder though.

truefan, I would hate to see Silverstone go. I go there every year. From 2008 onwards, I was hoping, planning even, on going to Indy every year, because I am migrating to the US in a couple of...

Well then let them pay for the race, trumper. (And welcome back, by the way.) You seem to forget that Bernie is the CEO of Formula 1. He has one job only and that is to maximise the profits and...

Didn't investigate? Tell that to Angelo Santini and Mauro Iacconi, the former Ferrari employees sent to prison for having betrayed Ferrari's secrets to Toyota. I don't know whether they're out yet,...

If I may put my lawyer's hat on for a moment here: the FIA is merely investigating whether McLaren has violated Article 151 (c) of the International Sporting Regulations, which holds illegal

Unfortunately for Coughlan, he is far from free at this point. All that has happened is that Ferrari have agreed not to turn over Coughlan's affidavit to the Italian prosecutors. This does not...

7) Ferrari's criminal complaint to the Italian authorities specified Stepney's wrongdoing and was judged by the police and the Modena District Attorney's office to be serious enough and plausible...

You are making a big assumption here, Ian. Yes, Mrs. Coughlan was obviously sent to do the job of photocopying the precious Ferrari design drawings, but by whom? By McLaren you say. You say the team...

The following is a verbatim quote from Thursday's Magny-Cours Press Conference:

Q. Similar question to you, Fernando. What are your feelings after the Silverstone test? It was a very big one for...

N. Jones, sorry my post, disagreeing with yours, was so strident. I can see why you were annoyed by it. I didn't mean to be irritating, and I apologise.

Ferrari have said very little about the nature of their complaint against Nigel Stepney, but a Ferrari spokesman has told Reuters that "it is not related to any event; it is related to his...

Absolutely impossible. To fabricate a criminal complaint is itself a crime, and a serious one. Not only is it a crime, it is also a tort, or civil wrong, and would leave Ferrari vulnerable to a...

Certainly, BDunnell, industrial espionage can be criminal. In almost any jurisdiction, so probably even in Italy, the law criminalises theft, misappropriation, sale of stolen goods, and a host of...

Nigel Stepney, who has served Ferrari for more than a decade, who memorably had his foot run over by Michael Schumacher in a botched pit-stop, who has been the manager of race operations for years,...
