    Spare Parts (F1 odds and ends)

    Sounds like Honda and Nissan have announced a planned merger! I wonder if that will have any impact on F1?

    Red Bull Racing: Team Thread

    I think Yuki shot himself in the foot in his early days with his mental attitude. He would say thinks like he would rather play games than work on his fitness. He hated the food he was supposed to eat to be in the best shape. I think there was lots more they kept hidden, they even moved him...

    Spare Parts (F1 odds and ends)

    Just read that too. I wonder if that's why he has been absent on race weekends. Hope he can pull through but doesn't sound good. I doubt anyone will ever create a F1 team on their own like he did - well obviously he has other people working for him but financially he was in charge. He gave a...

    It's been 15 years since a team other than Merc or Red Bull have won the constructors championship! Nice to see McLaren win.

    As predicted, Max diving up the inside and taking out a McLaren! If Perez wasn't already out of a job he will be now.

    Now that Max will be starting 4th I wonder how the first corner will go. Max might go for a dive up the inside to mess with the McLaren's. I hope he keeps it clean and we have a decent race.

    Bottas in 9th too! Might be an interesting race with a few out of place.

    Just looking at the times I had a thought! Remember when the 7% rule actually eliminated some from the race? Well 7% of Q1 time of 83 seconds (1min 23sec) is about 5.8 seconds! The top 15 are within 0.5 second! That's massively impressive how tight the whole field is now.

    Cheers. As it's the last one of the season and things will be a bit quiet, I thought I would say Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to everyone.

    To me the whole 'lift' under waved yellows being the accepted response is dangerous. They are supposed to be "Double waved yellows are reserved for serious situations – slow down, reduce speed significantly, there is a hazard wholly or partly blocking the track and/or marshals working on or...

    These penalties are getting silly, I have no idea how many are yet to be implemented or looked at! I wonder who else didn't lift on the straight when the yellows were out? Nice that Bottas scored a point.

    I see it as setting a precedent of not impeding at any time. With the current tyres they need very specific warm up laps to get the best out of them. Max seemed to be on the racing line on a cool down lap and was looking at his mirrors, so might have seen Lando but either way he messed up a warm...

    Interesting vid from Williams. It's the damage from Brazil coming back to factory to get a chassis rebuilt for this weekend's Vegas race. Hopefully everyone can see it.

    . To be fair, when creating a poll I have to put in how many hours before it ends. So no idea how I managed to get that so wrong :emoticon-0102-bigsm Only just watched the quali highlights <laugh>.

    Silly point but Charles's overalls look like they are 10 years old - so washed out and faded! Weird, even after the races they always look relatively smart, no idea what Ferrari are doing. I know there are budget caps but surely a new pair of overalls for press duties can't be too expensive?
