MOTOGP » Schumacher: Stoner young enough for sabbatical

Options, I agree with you. Risking your life doing 300kph + on a MotoGP bike amidst a pack of other riders all doing the same only centimeters away, if you haven't got children, is surely pure exhileration. Risking you life in that way when you've got kids to be a dad to, is almost selfish.

F1 » Webber: The main teams will break free

Adrian Newy and a number of the top engineers who are part of RBR would not know the first thing about how to make a fizzy drink. However, Rob seems to reckon their participation in F1 is not as legitimate as that of the Ferrari or McLaren engineers and designers. At the end of the day an F1 team is essentially defined by the people who are in it, not merely by an historically significant name.

Webber is usually a good qualifier. He missed out on Q3 last time as a result of a miscalculation as to how much quicker the track was getting towards the end of Q2 (whilst he sat in the pits).

nath, In case you didn't notice the whole purpose of this site is to encourage debate and differing opinions. Your well reasoned argument lost some of its force because you felt it necessary to launch an abusive attack on other posters at the same time. It doesn't take much intelligence to be abusive, but it does take intelligence to formulate a good argument. It is far more impressive if you just stick to the latter.

F1 » Massa: I still have Ferrari support

Perhaps he is just trying too hard.

F1 » Mercedes keeping eye on di Resta

"There is time to go and we are not making any decisions yet." Emphasis on "we" and "yet". Ominous words from Nick Fry. No mention of it being Michael's decision.

F1 » Hamilton: New approach paying off

Blackadder, I think the rationale is that when a team has been caught underfuelling their car like McLaren did (especially when it has happened before), they pay a penalty which is intended to deter both them and others from risking it in the future. For example, if they were only relegated to 10th, then a team that squeezes into Q3 may think it is worth taking the risk of underfuelling because they don't lose much if they get caught anyway.

F1 » Hamilton: New approach paying off

A most enjoyable read. Why buy a book when you can watch (or at least read)Taipan take on the world?

MOTOGP » Lorenzo wins wet Le Mans, Rossi second

MotoGP needs to keep Rossi, JLo and Stoner. The three super aliens.
