F1 » Massa: I cried like a baby!


Massa has been treated more than fairly by Ferrari and they owe him nothing. He is a great guy and I'm glad his form has greatly improved, but he is not the fighter and team leader that a Schumi, Alonso, Hamilton, etc. are. How did Ferrari treat him unfairly??? They took him from Sauber where he crashed a lot and gave him a ride in a top team when no other top teams were calling him. Nor have any other top teams been calling for his services since. Ferrari is by far his best option, if he leaves there it will not be to a top team. On top of that they have made him one of the highest paid drivers in F1. At one point he was earning more than WDC's like Hamilton and Button. Last year he was the third highest paid behind Alonso and Lewis all while not performing so well for a good part of the season. Like Barrichello, without Ferrari his career in F1 would have been much shorter, earning much less money and with few, if any, wins. Ferrari have always been strong supporters of Felipe and

F1 » Andretti: CotA can be 'fixed home' of US GP


@carman What a ridiculous and shameful post. It has nothing to do with the article, just hating on a legend for no reason. Mario was 53 years old at the time that Nigel 'blew this man into the weeds'. Nigel was much younger and the current F1 world champion. The fact that a 53 year old was even will or able to compete with him is a testament to Mario's skills and passion. At 53 years old Mario was racing 20 somethings and F1 WDC's at 240 + mph and holding his own. What will you be doing at that age???

F1 » Alonso: I’m just a normal guy


Not a hamilton fan.. Prost had no say in the matter and could do nothing to stop it. Senna had complete control and could have chose not to crash into him. NO ONE forced Pique, he was in complete control and could not have done it. Alonso 'may' have known but it was others that put the pressure on Pique who at anytime could have chosen not to do it. Senna hit the wall at 180mph with 1994 safety standards, Piquet crashed at 40mph with 2008 safety standards. That is two totally different situations. Piquet does not have the same primal drive and wouldn't risk himself as Senna, who was willing to put himself, and others, in harms way to win. He even stated as much.

F1 » Alonso: I’m just a normal guy


Not a hamilton fan... come on now, Piquet didn't really risk his life at that speed and with all of today's safety improvements. Of all the drivers you mentioned 'assaulting' others Alonso was not one, but thank you for proving my point that there have been other top drivers far worse than Alonso. Senna did actually risk someone else's life at 190mph. Prosts, who had no choice in the matter, unlike Piquet. Senna admitted he did it on purpose, Alonso in no way forced Piquet, so that is unfair to say of him.

F1 » Alonso: I’m just a normal guy


At least get to know your idol a little bit. Senna is one of the greatest drivers ever, but also one of the biggest complainers/babies ever. As stated earlier Alonso and Hamilton aren't anywhere near as bad as he was. Here's some more help. Senna punched rookie Eddie Irvine when he dared to pass Senna to unlap himself. Alonso is nothing like Senna temperament wise. Alonso is very calm (very cold), I can even buy shy, Senna was..... um not.

IndyCar » DeltaWing unveils 'revolutionary' IndyCar concept


If you joined the chorus and freaked out when there is an accident like Massa then maybe racing is not the sport for you. May I suggest golf, I guarantee no one will die there. The narrow track up front just seems much less stable, as already mentioned think 3-wheeler ATV (I have owned several). The narrow track in the rear would at least make more sense, Can-Am Spyder Roadster. Plus on an Oval if they hit the wall there is not crash structure (outrigger wheels) to absorb the impact, now the tub of the car will be the first thing to hit the wall, I'm sure the drivers love that idea. IF the IRL is paying attention the fans at all, they will tell Deltawing to go back to the drawing board

IndyCar » DeltaWing unveils 'revolutionary' IndyCar concept


The IRL has for the most part taken Tony G out of the picture, good first step to healing the wounds he caused. This car would not be a good second step. The safety aspect is a non starter for me. If you want to build a safe car look at F1. How many serious injuries have there been in the the last decade....... 1. F1 is as safe as open wheel needs to be. A big draw of speed is the danger, if you take that completely away then it will be like watching a video game. Now let me stop you right there, I'm not saying I want drivers to get hurt by anymeans. I drive bikes and cars on the track and accept the current level of risk without hesitation, which is exactly what all racers do.
