F1 » Piquet to contest Las Vegas kart event

squiggle was right, Piquet competed in the endurance race at the Monaco Kart Cup last month, sharing a kart for his own Piquet Sports team with Sergio Jimenez and and Carlos Iaconelli, finishing 2nd. More innacurate reporting from crash.

F1 » Chandhok has 'three very realistic' chances to race in F1 2010

Chandhok's two GP2 wins were in the reverse top 8 second race, so like all GP2 sprint race wins, they can't be used as a serious gauge of talent. Sorry, but 10th with reigning champion team iSport in 2008 just doesn't cut it.

F1 » Chandhok has 'three very realistic' chances to race in F1 2010

Quote: "If he is good enough, he should be in F1 and it is good that he has offers." Anyone following him through F3 and GP2 would know he isn't good enough.

IndyCar » IZOD revealed as series sponsor.

I agree, IRL have to grasp why CART is remembered with such affection, and take the series away from the current spec formula. Chassis rules which lead to beefier, better looking cars are essential to recapture the imagination of fans. I'm no anti-IRL Champ Car fanatic, as what's done is done, but anyone can see the current IRL pales in comparison to Champ Car/CART at its 1990s peak.

F1 » Williams reveals 2010 F1 driver line-up

No surprise, but I'm happy that Hulkenberg has finally been confirmed. I've never understood why some people (a few commentators in particular) weren't convinced by him. He has the best record of any F1 newcomer for a while... 2005 - Formula BMW ADAC - 1st 2006/7 - A1GP - 1st 2008 - F3 Euro Series - 1st 2009 - GP2 - 1st

WTCC » Priaulx thrilled with strong weekend

Carlton Kirby is the bane of any sane-thinking motorsport fan's existence.

F1 » Campos confirms Senna signing for F1 debut

Oh for goodness sake... "not proven himself"? What more does he need to do than narrowly miss out on the GP2 title in his FOURTH full season of car racing? You can't buy success like that. Not to mention he missed out on years of karting, considered an essential part of most drivers' development. What does he need to do to prove himself in your eyes?

IndyCar » IL: Mann secures Sam Schmidt test

I'm pretty certain Openwheeler was being sarcastic, given Mann's distinct lack of results in anything she's ever driven in...

F1 » Campos confirms Senna signing for F1 debut

Considering he only started car racing in 2004 with a part season in F.BMW UK, to be GP2 runner-up by 2008 was remarkable. No doubt his name has helped him at every step of the ladder, in terms of getting into good teams, extra F3 running in Australia etc, but he's had to learn the basics in a VERY short time and has delivered results. What more can you ask for? I wouldn't expect him to star in F1 with Campos any time soon, as he's still got a lot of learning to do, but give the guy a chance. He deserves to be in F1 on merit.

F1 » Donington F1 bid saved as Gillett finds the money

mudplugger: "if you dont like the waiting, dont like the parking dont like the views then why not take up another sport, polo may suit you, or swimming or are you just another sofa warrior blowing hot air like most !" Hmm, unprovoked personal abuse, doesn't crash.net tell you not to do that? I made it quite clear I visit a lot of circuits each year. From your attitude it sounds as though you only attend F1, well I feel sorry for you if that's the case. You'll find a much more fan friendly experience at most meetings outside of F1. Of course you expect queues at a GP. But from my experience of big meetings at Donington, the traffic arrangements left a LOT to be desired.
