No penalty for alonso. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111110

Sense prevails.

Quantum is saying deal for Lotus is done, I hope that means Hulk is coming.

 

[G-Unit]

LOL that was funny actually. Stopped watching the race after first 10 laps, thanks for sharing.

Yeah , I feel like an old man faling asleep lately

The Brazilian press is reporting that PDVSA closed a deal with Lotus and Williams and they're announcing Maldonado this week.

Team is dead to me. I need a new avatar soon. Just need Kimi in his next years Ferrari

 

[DrM]

Mercedes will announce decision about Brawn's future after Interlagos

 

[ramparter]

How many reprimands does vettel have? Cuz to many and he gets a 10 grid penalty right?

He will win by a smaller margin then, so what?

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Anyone got video of Alonso jumping over the kerb?

 

[Moozo]

Mercedes will announce decision about Brawn's future after Interlagos

What decision is there to make?

Video is embedded in the story.

 

[DrM]

If they want to keep Ross or he can go pursuing another challenge

 

[pants]

What decision is there to make?

He's getting fired. (Even if he isnt, I can see Brawn walking)

 

[acm2000]

what a surprise, no punishment for alonso, who would've thunk it, he shouldve backed off rather than flooring it off the track and over the curbs just to make sure he was ahead of him and massa

"Let me quote, yes yes I know what I am doing." Lol. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x16qrsf_video-1

As much as his domination of the championship is boring me, I really can't help liking the guy.

I agree with the above Kimi comments as well, pathetic effort all weekend. Since he's signed with Ferrari, Grosjean has been walking all over him.

He overqualified Grosjean, or am I the only person that saw that? The team fucked up with the car, what was he supposed to do..

 

[Blablurn]

seems like thats from yesteday? checking him up after the accident

 

[Addnan]

Yeah, apparently that jump over the curb had a 28G impact. Double what sends the FIA panicking.

 

[Psychotext]

Isn't that from when he got hit by Webber's wheel in 2003?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DWB0YSZlzk

I doubt it was yesterday as he was doing interviews not long after getting out of the car.

Edit - Maybe it was yesterday... I don't think he had a beard in 2003, nor was he plucking his eyebrows. Very odd. Especially the foil wrap, given Abu Dhabi's heat.

 

[Gruso]

Apparently it's standard procedure, nowhere near as bad as it looks. When the g-meter pops they don't fuck around.

 

[Coldsnap]

OH MAN. Grosjeans exit from the pit stop blowing past the Ferrari's was hands down the best part of the race. That shot where he was going through the pit tunnel and you could see the Ferrari's up top was amazing. He's becoming my guy to root for.

 

[pants]

I have an outside shot at first in the world

Our league

 

[Psychotext]

Nice.

LOL

Good, I hope they do sign the Hulk.

Great to hear!

I really want to see the Hulk do well, he deserves it.

 

[Moozo]

He's getting fired. (Even if he isnt, I can see Brawn walking)

But it was already all over the news last week that he's leaving

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Brawn, please come back to Ferrari, we got money.

McLaren are considering promoting young Danish driver Kevin Magnussen to be Jenson Button’s team-mate next season, with the jury still out on Sergio Pérez.

Magnussen, 21, has just won the Formula Renault 3.5 championship from fellow McLaren starlet Stoffel Vandoorne and has impressed in his two outings to date in a full-spec Formula One car, at last year’s young drivers’ test in Abu Dhabi and at the Silverstone test this summer.

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh recently described the Dane, whose father Jan Magnussen drove for McLaren and Stewart in the 1990s, as “lightning quick”, arguing that Formula Renault 3.5 was “a much higher quality championship than GP2”.

Magnussen pulled out of a scheduled run in a GP2 car today with his team DAMS – a prize for winning the F3.5 title - for unexplained reasons.

McLaren are understood to be seriously considering Kevin Magnussen for 2014 race seat.

For the love of god please happen. Button and Magnussen in 2014

 

[Leunam]

Button should be replaced at this rate too since he's been painfully mediocre all year.

Both drivers should stay on since next years car can't be worse. Would be much better if McLaren gave both their drivers a car that could actually crack that ever elusive top four finish. But when it's a shit car, the drivers are the first to blame, thereby making Perez look worse. Had Button never been a WDC he'd be under just as much scrutiny.

 

[apotema]

For the love of god please happen. Button and Magnussen in 2014

If F1 continues like this, it will be Perez-Magnussen, Perez has been outscoring Button consistently in the last races

 

[Zeknurn]

I support this move.

 

[PdotMichael]

He did?

A broken gearbox in India and a broken front wrong in Abu Dhabi were the reasons why Perez scored more than Button.

Yeah over the course of the season Button has been on top

Perez has been woeful this season, Bahrain and India are the only decent races he's had for McLaren and that's just not good enough, he needs to be shown the door.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Perez is a joke. McLaren are really stupid for hiring him. They could've got Kimi (thank god it didn't happen)

 

[pants]

I'd rather have Perez than Button (not because I rate Perez, but I think so little of Button)

 

[nny]

Bernie Ecclestone's bizarre High Court entrance

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Love how Newey is saying Ferrari and Lotus got lucky with the tires at the start of the year. Comes off as a real douchebag.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Perez is doing just fine.

 

[neoanarch]

Completely harsh to throw Perez under the bus. Maybe if Jensen had got a podium or near one. But the car has been terrible.


Guti looks like he is out from Sauber but hopefully he can get a ride in another team.

 

[DD]

Rumours of Felipe Nasr as Williams 3rd driver for 2014.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Wait, possibly Felipe Nasr and Felipe Massa at the same team next year?

Oh that's going to be confusing.

 

[RayStorm]

Why?

 

[ramparter]

Exactly, people are so quick to judge. I will wait to see him in a more competitive team / car. The only thing I can criticize Perez for is his aggressiveness in some races mostly on the first half of the season. In terms of performance he is doing fine and I think he has a lot of potential to improve.

F1 related, these have shown up in the Forza 5 car list:


1976 Ferrari #1 Scuderia Ferrari 312T2

I driver models are comically undersized, but the cars are very cool additions to the game.
