F1 » Hamilton warns Button: I'm still the best driver in F1!

It must be true of it was in the "New of the World". Give me a break, we all know whatever Lewis did say has been taken out of context. I can't believe he even talks to them, maybe he didn't. I do applaud them though for what they did to Mosley. 2010 will be a cracker in the McLaren camp, Button can't lose can he? If he doesn't beat Lewis he'll say unfair treatment, slower car. I do hope the team gives them equal machinery.

F1 » Raikkonen rules out Mercedes, confirms F1 sabbatical

Good riddance Mr. Personality. You may be a quick driver (when you feel the need) but from a total package point of view I bet the sponsors are pleased to see you go. I know I am.

F1 » Briatore blasts 'secret negotiations' and 'sham hearing'

I fully agree that Flav is a snake but he is right about the hearing being a complete sham. I don't know of anywhere in the world that justice is served in this manner. Todt won't help matters either.

F1 » Motorsport greats pay tribute to 'legend' Tom Wheatcroft

A great man and he will be sorely missed by many. Interestingly I read 'The great and the good from the world of F1 and motorcycling have come out to pay their respects to Tom Wheatcroft' To be honest, where does Ecclestone fit in there? If it had said the greedy and the power crazy in BE's case I could understand it. Ecclestone should show how much a friend he was of Tom and pay for the refurbishment of the Donington at least to it's former condition in Tom's honor. Tom did more for British Motor Sport than any other individual, he was a wonderful person.

F1 » Hamilton: S**t happens in F1 sometimes!

Carbon brakes are far superior to steel brakes both in their stopping power and ability to withstand high heat. Steel discs would work in F1 until about the end of the first lap and then breaking distances would increase proportionally as the brake temperature increases. By about lap 5 there would be cars unable to slow down sufficiently for the corners and all sorts of rear ending happening. I've raced on both steel and carbon and believe me, carbon is the difference between night and day. The brake heat transfer into the wheels and tires would also result in tire failure. OK, they are lighter but that's an added bonus and nothing to do with the reason they are fitted.

F1 » Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – Race result.

I bet John Howett feels the idiot he is with the comment after Brazil when it was said that "he described Brazilian Grand Prix debutant Kamui Kobayashi as having been 'a bit slow' on his top flight bow at the weekend". Great pace by Koby again today and he finished in front of Trulli. He deserves a place in the team in 2010, Howett doesn't.

F1 » Donington owner Tom Wheatcroft dies

I attended the first race at Donington in 1977 and then went on to race bikes there myself with a fair amount of success, all this thanks to Tom's passion for motor sport. He was a great man and he will always be remembered. Bernie, you need to do the right thing now and restore the circuit in Tom's honor as a tribute to a man who did more than most for the sport. TIP Tom Wheatcroft, condolences to the family.

F1 » Ecclestone signals end of Donington’s F1 hopes

If Ecclestone is such a friend of Tom Wheatcroft why doesn't he bail out the track himself. The money needed is a drop in the bucket for him. I agree with everyone who says Donington will be way better for F1, of course it will. Maybe some people like to only see the cars over a few yards such is the case at Silverstone. I'm a big fan of Donington, it's a great track with a lot of history. May F1 return ASAP. Gillet, I hope your next sh*t is a hedgehog.

F1 » Rosberg confirms Williams F1 exit

I don't understand why everyone should be against Mercedes wanting a German in the car (even if he is a Finn really) It's all about the sponsors and being able to communicate directly with them and their customers being able to identify with the driver.. Personally I would like to see Nico and Lewis paired together, I reckon they would be a good match for each other and on equal status they should provide some good racing.

F1 » Donington F1 deadline passes; Silverstone waits...

Crash - this comment is a bit naive I must say: it seems unlikely that as an Englishman himself, the 78-year-old will let the event disappear from the schedule, even for just a year. Greedy Troll couldn't care less if there is a race in the UK. Why doesn't he stump up the money to rebuild Donington? If running an F1 race is such a good investment he will make money out of it and he wouldn't have to pay himself the huge fees he demands of the other circuits. If Donington is left to die it will be a sad day for British Motorsport. Gillett, you should be hung up by your testicles if you had any.
