Wax free on suicide watch!

Surely Ron is getting a star driver in for next season. Button is crap and doesn't push the car to the limit so development engineers can't get a sense of which direction to push.

I called it when I saw button having to make a steering correction in Austrailia. It was too much for him.

He needs a perfect car, a 2nd rate teammate and a technical advantage over the field to be a winner.

Im hoping Rosberg gets thoroughly and comprehensively smashed by Lewis this upcoming weekend. Im tired of his smug fucking face all over my tv srceen, not two months ago when Lewis was getting all those wins he looked like a skulking child. I miss that image of him. He's had tremendous luck the last two races. In Montreal, he almost put himself in a wall and looked fairly ragged up to the point he and Lewis had their mechanical problems. And in Austria his excursion off the track would have cost him the race if Lewis hadnt lost crucial time in the pits. I dont get the comparison he gets to Prost. Yes, Prost was calculating individual with a keen mind for car set ups, but the only time you'd see ragged driving from him was in wet weather. We see huge lockups and offroad excursions from Nico damn near every time he's been under pressure or tried to put the hammer down.

I hope Rosberg wins so our drought can be lifted by your tears. The ones I can sense were welling up when you were typing this post.

I'm officially lowering myself to this years posting standards.

I hope that the FIA review Mercedes' 2014 championship application form and find that in the area under `do not write in this space' Toto wrote `OK'. All of Mercedes' points to date are thrown away and we can have an exciting last half of the season watching them catch up (and probably still win)

I wont cry if the Ricardo Patrese of the modern era builds a commanding lead in the points, I just feel compelled to point out the clumsy and lucky way some of those points have been accrued

Does anyone have any good advice about where to stand with a general admission ticket at Silverstone if you arrive late? I'll get there around 8.30 and I don't just want to go somewhere and stand there for the rest of the day - I'd like to move around a bit at first.

I suppose the area around Maggots-Becketts will be crowded? Stowe?

Any other advice for someone who hasn't been there before?

It's time he went to prison. It's the only way.

That or death. But I don't know whether it's considered bad taste to wish death on someone in this thread. I don't.

Sigh, when is he going to drop dead?

It's all well and good hoping he gives up the ghost, but my concern is who'd replace him.

Probably someone as equally ruthless and greedy, but without any of the background in F1.

Maybe that's a good thing. But it could also be terrible.

Yeah there is also that. It's depressing that Bernie's replacement is coming from outside F1

What if Rupert and Bernie had a child together?


Anyway, screw Rosberg, Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, Massa, Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Botas, Button… this weekend I'm rooting for the Medical Car.

Lol.

Realistically, what kind of successor are we likely to see? Definitely a businessman, probably a showman too, but unlikely a sportsman in my opinion.

Mugello is 3x better track for anything than current Monza.

Not feeling even a slightest emotion for current Monza to go.

Mugello is amazing course.
Click to expand...

Mugello is fast and flowing, but so is Silverstone. Monza is absolutely unique, the last of the lowest downforce tracks, with average speed 10 kph quicker than the next fastest track. Mugello - a track driven in single file for 4 kilometres out of 5 - wouldn't work for F1.


Meanwhile, guess who is back :D ?

F1 Racing ‏@F1Racing_mag

We hear Mansoor Ijaz (really!) and former Prodrive commercial chief Tony Schulp are involved in the new Caterham deal.

Is that the dude that said he was going to invest in Lotus last year, Quantum something?
Didn't he turn out to be a total fraud?
