Fuck that, Mercedes needs to put a younger driver there.
We need more fresh blood in F1, some of these old timers have been sticking around for too long, keeping some pretty good drivers out of F1 (maybe permanently) for no good reason.

It could be a great marketing stunt especially given that it would be 10 years since the two last clashed in the McLaren.
aaargh dp, sorry
It was just an incident. I blame Ferrari much more fore being completely incompetent.
No more tyre wear, engine settings and fuel consumption data on the team radio. Motorsport has a analysis what it will mean for the drivers.
This could be a reason for the "two panels on the pitwall for each driver" in Barcelona

It is only 930 £
Holy crap at those prices. 160 pounds for a white polo shirt?
It is Hugo Boss, so that is the reason for extreme prices
Oh wow, Bernie always ahead of the curve, I see.

And here I thought Eddie would be too busy with Top Gear.
I also didn't know that Susie Wolff was part of the team. I wonder how many times she gets to interview Claire and Toto.

Any bets on how long it will take Sauber to drop out?

They say that Melbourne is secured but after that.....

While I agree, I don't see anyone buying an F1 team in the current climate of the sport.

Please let Murray Walker be the commentator!!!
Also Alain Prost and a few refugees from SkyF1. Looks a cracking line up.

Line-up could be better, get Scarbs on board.
Doesn't need Jordan as comic relief.
Webbah is nice. Hope he's a regular.

Murray is just doing the interviews. Commentary team is the same as the BBC.

Yeah but it'd be great if he could commentate at one of the races. Murray is F1 commentary to me.

Feels like they are photoshopped in that image or is it only me?

People want Walker back? I want him to have a nice dignified retirement, he's too old for a full-time media role at this point. Those segments with Suzi were quite fun, admittedly, but still. He's 92.
Also, disappointed that the Allen rumours weren't true and confused by the appointment of Hamilton and Prost, I understand that appointing way too many presenters is the "in" thing at the moment but I really can't see what they have to offer except complaining every time Hamilton or Renault respectively aren't winning.

A total Redbull, Merc and Hammy wankfest.
They were filming with Redbull the other day for this: "Speed with Guy Martin: A @C4F1 Special" - Thursday 17th March at 21:00 on @Channel4.

That's how I feel. If its what he wants though, that's cool too.
But no, he definitely wouldn't be able to deal with commentating any more.
Edit - Why don't Chandhok and Prost get helmets like the other drivers? lol

The selected sets per driver for the upcoming #F1 #AusGP!

Wait, that's new, how does that work? And why are Manor more worried about the softs than anyone else?

I'm guessing they don't have the downforce to tame that beast of an engine.

Something like this...
10 sets are now chosen by the driver
- 1 set can only be used in the first half of FP1
- 1 set can only be used in the second half of FP1
- 2 sets can only be used in FP2
- 2 sets can only be used in FP3
- 4 sets can be used whenever
3 sets are chosen by Pirelli (the same for everyone)
- 2 sets can only be used in the race... and 1 of them has to be used
- 1 set can only be used in Q3... unless you didn't make it to Q3, then you are allowed to use it in the race
- if you qualified in the top 10, you have to start the race on the tires you used for your best time in Q2

I can't muster any enthusiasm for Murray having recently watched some early '80s races and listened to him going on at length about the wonderful South African fans and how unfair it was to them that the other sports refused to come there to entertain them.
