F1 » Ecclestone: Ferrari reaction ‘a shame’ for F1 2012


I understand that that the yellow-flag sector began just before Turn 3 and ended just before Turn 4. At that point a green light panel is displayed. A marshal is stationed these two points and a marshall clearly waved the green flag at this point. This information was clearly communicated to the teams immediately following the race, and under the FIA rules, if a green flag is displayed before a green light - as in this case, the green flag counts. Ferrari know this, and they must know there is no chance of the decision being overturned. Therefore, their "request for clarification" is sour grapes and quite frankly hurts F1. I badly wanted Alonso to beat Seb, but damn it, Ferrari continue to make it difficult to cheer for them.

F1 » Button: It’ll be tough for Perez


Forget about personalities for a moment... He is joining a team with a world champion as a teammate who is very fast and loved by all on the team. He is replacing a driver who was a world champion, won 21 races, and might be the fastest guy in F1 when the car is working well. And he is joining a team that routinely competes at the sharp end of the grid in nearly every season. Of course there is pressure, and I wonder how he will manage this pressure. I agree that Hulkenberg might have been the better choice as I am not certain Perez can handle the scrutiny that he will encounter next year.

F1 » Hamilton: I wanted it more than Seb!


Both drivers wanted the win very much, and their performance throughout the race demonstrated this fact as they pulled away from the third place car of Alonso. A more apt description might have been that Lewis could afford to take greater risks as he was racing only for the victory while Seb was racing for a championship. The fact that he did not back off but continued to push Lewis was great to see, as it would have been easy to back off and nurse the points gain over Alonso.

F1 » Hamilton wins USGP


Wow! I expected Seb and Lewis to battle it out but I never imagined a race like this one. And Alonso, doing what he needed to do to keep it alive! Seb and Lewis were mighty and so too was the circuit. I can't wait until next year when the track rubbers in a bit more and Pirelli brings a more aggressive compound.

F1 » Vettel takes USGP pole


Seb and Lewis were both mighty today, and the pace of the Lotus in final qualifying surprised me a bit. If the race unfolds as expected with only a single tire stop, the pole pace we saw could mean little compared to the long run pace on each of the compounds, and even Kimi could be in with a chance. But if Seb's pace stays strong and he wins, I think he will wrap up the title tomorrow as I do not think Alonso's Ferrari has the pace to match the cars in front qualified in front of him.

F1 » Villeneuve: Alonso best, Vettel needs to grow up


Let's see... Atlantic champion, Indy 500 champion, CART champion (when that meant something) Sat on pole in first F1 race (yes, a Williams but still an accomplishment) F1 champion. Consistently sits on pole and leads his "hobby" races in NASCAR when Montoya and others cannot. Is he brash? Yes. Do I agree with him? Frequently not. However, even Patrick Head says he was a very deserving champion and he is definitely entitled to his opinion. And in this instance, he happens to be correct.

F1 » Perez: I want to fight for the title


Don't see it happening... not next year anyway. I think Jenson will be the clear number one for the coming season, and I think Lewis will immediately establish number one status at Merc. Could be wrong, but doubt it, as both Lewis and Jenson have won races and championships, and pushed each other hard. The other two will find that life in a team with a world champion in top form is not easy to manage.
