Coolest Driver - Rubens. If he was anymore laidback he wouldn't be able to see where he was going.

Rookie of the Year - Kobayshi, although none of them really stood out. I was however tempted to...

Suspect F1 would now rank higher. Since the article was written F1 now operates under WADA code and the minimium penalties now start and two years.

Can you tell that the Concord agreement is coming up for renewal?

Have the rules really changed or have they just expanded the penalties available to the stewards for dangerous driving? Not sure.

Anyway I basically agree with you the problem hasn't been that...

A bit of Indycar and a lot of Drag racing. I'll never get bored of the shear violence and noise from a pair of top fuel cars leaving the line.

I fear this would be a slippery slope and is a whole can of worms that is best left unopened. In the end the drivers are individual contractors to the teams. They do not work for the FIA and I...

The proposed 20 race 2011 calendar doesn't leave much room for adding the US GP in 2012. To avoid going over 20 races which generally seems to be the agreed limit amongst teams and even Bernie...

Ok I haven’t read the full article in Motor Sport from which the quotes on the Racer Republic site are taken but looking at only these quotes I agree with Richards.





It seems highly likely...

The Mercedes F1 engines used by McLaren, Mercedes and Force India are built by Mercedes High Performance which was previously known as Ilmor prior to Mercedes total take over. Roger Penske was one...

When you're in a noisy enviroment and have a producer rabbiting in your ear I'd say thats a pretty easy thing to mishear. Not to mention he was probably being defend by EJ's shirt/trousers/shoes/tan...

So the FIA has increased the load used to test wing flexibility. Essentially I see this as them saying "well done, very clever, but thats enough". Truth is there are almost certainly enough clauses...

Easily. With an Elephant onboard the Red Bull would have had enough downforce to be able to drive clean around the outside of Alonso in the last corner, then reach over with its trunk and blow so...

4 weeks aren’t going to be hard to fill.
NHRA at Brainerd.
The European Drag Racing championship at Hockenheim
NASCAR at Watkins Glen, Michigan and the Bristol night race.
So plenty of on track...

Yes team orders have been around as long as F1, but the sport has changed during that time and so have audience expectations. I don't think it is acceptable any more to have a race manipulated the...

The acceptable tolerances are defined as part of the testing process in the regulations - in this case 10mm - so the FIA can change these whenever they feel the need so yes it is recognised that...

Which is exactly why regulation 3.17.8 states

3.17.8 In order to ensure that the requirements of Article 3.15 are respected, the FIA reserves the right to introduce further load/deflection tests...

Whether you agree or disagree with it the rule against team orders exists and is in the rule book all the teams signed up to race by when they filed their entries at the start of the season. The...

All I can say is thank god Ferrari have been prevented from becoming a 3 car team!

It's sort of clarified in this story
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/85059
although it doesn't explain why it seems to only have become a problem all of a sudden. Teams have always...

I wouldn't read too much into the name if I were you. Bernie doesn't take kindly to any company using the F1 brand. USF1 got a slap on the wrist for the same thing if I recall correctly and had to...

The last paragraph of the BBC article is kind of interesting

The new Lotus team is already being treated by F1 authorities as a continuation of the former one, which was set up by the legendary...

I have a really hard time buying this. Red Bull might be favouring Vettel but I think it’s a stretch to claim it’s because of their ‘investment’ in him. It could be because of the personal...

At the moment I can see how this could be a bad and somewhat naive decision by a team under pressure and inexperienced as championship contenders. Red bull has wasted away a lot of points with the...

Bernie doesn't like FOTA. Imagine the surprise! His only argument appears to be that because FOTA is formed of teams competing against each other they'll always make decisions for selfish reasons...

The traditional Silverstone traffic jam is much improved now with the expansion of the A43 and the main entrance road. Plus all the park and ride schemes help. I've done lots of Sundays but the...
