F1 » Webber 'has had worse days' than Canada


"Scorching temperatures"? I thought I heard the commentators say it was 27degC. That's only "scorching" if you're Kimmi Raikkonen or a Pom. :) I thought Webber's race today was ruined by two things: 1. Poor strategy (also cost Vettel his one fingered salute) 2. RBR's apparent disregard for top speed on tracks where it matters. Obviously it doesn't matter at tracks like Monaco, however I'd be interested to see the stats on DRS assisted passes as I'm sure they'd be at the lower end of the ladder. At Circuit Gilles Villeneuve grid position mattered little, as demonstrated by Vettel, Alonso, Grosjean and Perez.

F1 » Webber: Its 'absolute rubbish' I tried to help Vettel


decko - No one is saying that he didn't back the field up, the point is that he wasn't doing it expressly to help Vettel. It's obvious to everyone that he was going slower at that stage, however we all know that the cars need to go through a fuel saving stint in a GP to even get to the chequered flag, not to mention that on a one-stop strategy (ESPECIALLY in 2012) you would most certainly need to be cognisant of tyre degradation. Backing up the field doesn't automatically mean it was to help Vettel. Honestly, I just can't see Webber helping him. Remember the "Maintain the gap" call?

F1 » Haug against customer cars


@ZeR0 Kun - make up your mind, dude. First you say "F1 needs to outlaw all this nonsense, exotic technologies", then you say "... f1 have returned to its true heritage - as the pioneer of technology for road cars". Technology is usually "exotic" when it very first appears, take traction control for example, then it progressively filters down to road cars. You're contradicting yourself.

F1 » Ecclestone prepared to drop Australia


If I'm not mistaken, F1 is a global sport and last time I checked "the globe" was not defined as western Europe! What about the Asian audience in similar time zones to Australia, Bernie? Not to mention very loyal event organisers who have provided a great environment for the F1 paddock for the last few decades. Jerk.

F1 » HRT target second pre-season test


Is anyone else reminded of USF1 - "We WILL be on the grid in Melbourne" followed by "we're bankrupt". An HRT car at any pre-season F1 test - I'll believe it when I see it. Moving the whole team internationally as well as completely up-ending the leadership is, I doubt, not conducive to building an F1 car in a timely manner.

F1 » Your views: Why no American in F1?


A well considered piece. I have two points to make - 1. Get an editor to read over the piece first. The over use of parentheses is very distracting and interrupts the flow of the writing. 2. The premise of this piece seems to be that F1 needs a US driver. I don't necessarily accept this - F1 should and does have the best drivers in the world, regardless of their origin. If you want to see all countries represented on the grid, try A1GP. F1 doesn't have to have a US driver just for the sake of having a US driver.
