    What if Red Bull and Vettel were cheating?

    Given the number of engineers Red Bull are losing to other teams I'm sure their secret, if any, will come out or end up on other cars.

    MERCEDES TRIBUNAL, VERDICT! What do you think will happen?

    Intentionally breaking a rule or law after there has been a clear ruling on the matter would bring with it a much harsher punishment. In my view Mercedes either exploited, or were victims of, the FIAs bureaucracy. Some thing the FIA probably do not want raked into the lime light and only...

    Round 21: Ferrari To Contest Title? (Flag-Gate)

    Pretty aweful way to decide a championship. I watched the video below and it looks fairly clear cut http://thef1times.com/news/display/07031 Not a Vettel fan but not sure I want another championship decided by stewards.

    Hamilton to Mercedes

    I've got mixed feelings but overall I think it is a good move for him, shame to see the all Brit line up go but I think that is all I miss. Still going to stay a McLaren fan and still going to be a Lewis fan. Good luck Lewis and good luck Sergio if rumours are to be believed :-)

    Article: 2013 Driver Line-ups, News & Rumours | Formula one

    Ferrari would be interesting, I thought Lotus too but both their drivers look pretty promising. Who knows, Ferrari turned their season around mid 2010 and Alonso almost won the championship, McLaren may well do the same this year and Hamilton will stay on.

    Article: 2013 Driver Line-ups, News & Rumours | Formula one

    According to the Red Bull Facebook page Webber has just signed for the 2013 season with Red Bull, so thats one possible race seat off the list for Hamilton.

    Maldanado... Skilled idiot, Passionate racer or just a massive King Canute?

    I'm sure when the stewards look into it after the races they take a look at the telemetry and judge wether or not he intentionally moved or accelerated into another car. Since they haven't seriously reprimanded him yet I assume that all signs point to him just being reckless and not malicious in...

    Bored of tires and not drivers wining races

    Fair enough, I suppose we're all allowed our opinions. I just feel that an immeasurable variable, as most teams seem to refer to this years tires as, is a variable too far.

    Bored of tires and not drivers wining races

    Webber finished 3s ahead of Alonso, that's a pretty impressive gap pulled out over 3 laps and I wouldn't say it was just a few seconds. We had plenty of great racing last year without having to introduce tires which have unpredictable performance

    Bored of tires and not drivers wining races

    Almost half way through the season now and I'm getting a little bored seeing the top drivers in the world being hamstrung by this seasons tires. We have seen some great drives brought to a premature end by excessive and unpredictable tire wear. Even Hamilton’s charge for the win in Canada felt...

    Maria de Villota hurt in test crash???

    Could be the end of her racing career, real shame :-(

    Maria de Villota hurt in test crash???

    Some of the technical sites and tweeters are saying it may have been the anti stall that caused the surge. I don't think you get in to F1, seven as a tester, and still mix up the brake and accelerator.

    Maria de Villota hurt in test crash???

    As bad as it looks it could have been a lot worse, immediatly to the right of the truck is a tent full of people
