    Sick of hearing this Hamelot bullshit again... There's plenty that can be said in good or bad about any driver, including Senna... If attempting to be remotely objective.

    As for who would have won out over the two... we'll never know. So it's like arguing who's dad would win in a fight. Pointless.

    Sauber has managed to lob 20kg of its chassis for this race, thats quite the finding!


    Sauber will debut a heavily revised lightweight chassis at the Spanish Grand Prix next week and the team is pinning its points scoring hopes on the upgrade. The Hinwil outfit has struggled to compete in the midfield so far this season and it believes an overweight chassis is largely to blame. Not only will it debut the new chassis, which is roughly 20kg lighter, but it will also bring a revised front-wing, new engine cover, new sidepod fins and deflectors. Ferrari will also release a new software upgrade for its engine customers which should also bring some benefit. Head of track engineering Giampaolo Dall'Ara is hopeful that it will bring the team back into play for points. "We very much look forward to converting our efforts into improved lap times," he said. "However, we know that all the other teams are progressing as well, so it will be interesting to see where we stand. "We will certainly do our best in order to race for points."

    What else did you expect, stupid boy.

    If you were not at Donington in 93 you will never, ever, possibly understand. I was, so was my wife and eldest son aged 15.

    Pure and utter genius.

    And Hammy reminds me so much of Senna in many, many ways.

    eh?

    Sorry, you're just threw that in there for WUMming purposes only. No one has said anything bad about anyone until you pepped up.

    Secretly you love talking about Hamilton as it's all you ever do :emoticon-0152-heart

    "They"?

    It's like being diseased. We should be forced to paint crosses on our profiles to serve as a warning.... Unclean!!!

    Just looking at their stats this season, awful start. Hulkenberg leaving didn't help. But I do hope they start allowing their drivers to eat, and Sutil to start using his water bottle. Another team mixing it in the midfield properly would be good.

    I like Sauber, one of the true independents.

    No outside commercial or marketing interests, their just racers. Like Minardi were, but more successful!

    Thinking about it... They should make Maureen the Sauber team principle. He could just park both cars across the start/finish line.

    Excellent, i'll look forward to seeing Esteban Gutierrez propelled up the grid from 15th/16th to the heady heights of 13th or 14th........

    Me too.

    But their driver pairing this season is a big let down. Sutil is incredibly average and Gutierrez aspires to be as good as Sutil.

    Sebastian Vettel his renewed his attack on F1's 'new' face, after he was rebuked by the FIA for earlier calling the mild sound of the V6 engines "sh*t".

    Now with more refined comments, the reigning quadruple world champion does not hide his obvious disdain for the sport's new configuration.

    "We are a sport that is famous for being loud and dangerous," Red Bull driver Vettel told the German newsmagazine Focus.

    "We run the risk of losing the essence of motor sports," he charged.

    When asked about the new, quiet and V6-powered engines, Vettel responded: "I would prefer a V10 or V12 with 1000 horse power -- lots of power.

    "I would like to drive cars that are as fast as they can be -- I need to feel as though I am taming a dragon or a beast," he explained.

    "Compared to last season, this impression has diminished an awful lot," said Vettel, who has struggled in 2014 alongside his new teammate Daniel Ricciardo.

    "The car does not know what I want," explained the 26-year-old, referring to the Adrian Newey-penned new RB10 and his troubles at the wheel.

    "Under braking and in the corners I have an absolute lack of confidence," added Vettel.

    Vettel needs to understand what he wants to say. In one sentence he is saying that he misses the power is previous years because he needs to feel like he is taming a dragon... yet in a later sentence he says the car doesn't know what he wants.
    Vettel, that's why you have to go there and tame the dragon like some of the others have done. You are the one who has to find out what it takes to tame the dragon, if you want for the dragon to know what you want wouldn't it eat you alive? You have to tame that Red Bull dragon and the only way to do it is to find out its weaknesses and strengths and use that understanding to arm yourself and get it working the way you want it, not the other way around. Vettel, every dragon will not be the same and you need to learn and understand the characteristics of this new dragon or he will leave you in tears. What I want to hear from Vettel is that he is going all out to tame this dragon, but so far he sounds a bit defeated.
