    Hamilton is due a retirement or two. But luck has definitely been on his side this year. Hopefully next season Ferrari can find some more pace and relibity.

    The season has gone a lot like 1985.

    Alboreto in the Ferrari took the challenge to Prost in the first half, then when the developments caught up and Ferrari responded their reliability went down the swanny and Prost waltzed to the title.


    Alboreto showed his annoyance at Brands Hatch by driving a flaming prancing horse down the pit lane and smoking tue entire place out!

    with Vettel's temperament I'm waiting for him to do something similar on the next failure!

    FAILED spark plug, thats the ultimate incompetence from Ferrari.

    Would not have happened when Ross was in charge.

    good job it didn't happen to Hamilton, then it would have been a conspiracy by NGK.

    Back in the olden days, of course, they would've had a plug and spanner

    Ocon has the record for consecutive finishes, how has that happened? Hardly a race goes by where he doesn't come into contact with a car or a wall.
