Massa continues to surprise me. Virtually every year since 2008, he has had critics saying that he is about to lose his seat. But, when the is really under pressure then - suddenly - he becomes much quicker!! I am a bit of a Massa fan but even I think he's past his sell-by date at Ferrari, it's just a shame that 2008 and 2009 didn't come to fruition for him. Regarding Hamiltoby flat tyre - F1
He saved so many drivers' lives, and now he's lost his own. RIPby flat tyre - F1
I think Ben Edwards is fine. I admit that I wasn't looking forward to him (don't like his F1 DVD commentaries), but I've been pleasantly surprised. He's by far my favourite since Murray Walker and (imo) certainly the closest we've been to Muzza since he retired. I think Brundle's past it tbh, he's still good but DC is just as good, if not better. Brundleby flat tyre - F1
I agree with the penalty. When you look at 2011, Vettel only touched the grass to kick up a bit of dirt. He still had enough grip to finish the overtake. But, in 2012, Alonso had no choice but to bail out, and had to drive along the gravel and lose a lot of time. I think 2011 was just enough space, whereas 2012 was just not enough space. And, once again, the stewards have said that theyby flat tyre - F1
I get the feeling that Hamilton will find his way past Button somehow, even if Button makes the better start. He's aggressive and Button can be too... err, 'gentlemanly' :p Di Resta impressed me, I forgot all about his penalty and was gutted when I found out! I'm no fan of Di Resta's, I think he's average at best, but I always like to see an underdog at the frontby flat tyre - F1
This is really quite encouraging, his elbow is obviously not right but it could be worse. I watched a documentary on BBC iPlayer this afternoon called Madness on Wheels: Rallying's Craziest Years. It was a very good documentary about the dangers of group B rally, but the first few minutes were obviously designed to shock people into watching it. It really opened my eyes, and makes me resby flat tyre - F1
To be fair, Morbid, if you start calling people an Arse and accusing them of pulling things out of their arse, as well as pointing out things like how they've used incorrect grammar, you are going to insult them and that is pretty intimidating if you ask me (I use the word 'intimidating' in a metaphorical sense).

I'm at Herts uni and doing Automotive Engineering with Motorsport, I've been meaning to join the Formula Student team but health problems meant I haven't been able to but I'm planning to enter it this year! Can't waitby flat tyre - Off-Topic
Wow, what have the stewards got to do to keep people happy? They're finally acting on bad behaviour, and now people are saying they're being inconsistent. Well, they've got to start being strict somewhere, otherwise it'd be a slap on the wrists every time... just for the sake of consistency. Anyway isn't it like football? They have different referees for each match, soby flat tyre - F1

Thank god the stewards saw sense and gave him a ban, I thought they'd just give him a slap on the wrists. I'm pretty sure that another driver can take his place. I wonder if we'll see Jerome D'Ambrosio make a comeback?by flat tyre - F1
^ You're not the only one Gav. When I saw it unfolding I could see it coming, then thought Alonso had a VERY lucky miss, but when he didn't get out and the doctors were there I didn't know what to think... after accidents like these my hands start shaking, I've had it for a few others such as Kubica 2007 and Schumacher 2010 too. Not nice. I think Maldonado's start madby flat tyre - F1

I'd like to thank Vodaphone McLaren Mercedes and Vodaphone India for this opportunity to see the Vodaphone Mclaren Mercedes F1 team's car - the Pirelli P Zero tyres were great (perfectly round!), and I'd like to say thanks to all the guys back home for all the hard work they put into making me breakfast, as I was busy using my Vodaphone 6-month contract smartphone (that came withby flat tyre - F1
I have that feeling that Corn on the Kobayashi (as we call him in my house for some stupid reason hehe) might pull one of his signature overtakes down the straight into Les Combes, like Rosberg last year...

That's a scary similarity. I bet MJ Jr will look more like Massa than Felipe's own son. Oh and btw... Solid Snake IS Jenson Button!by flat tyre - F1

I know this might not belong in the F1 forum, but as an ex-f1 driver I think he more than deserves his place here I just found out that Alex Zanardi is going to take part in the London 2012 paralympics in the handcycling... and that he's one of the favourites to win gold.

I've always liked the Hungaroring despite the fact that it's considered one of the worse tracks. Much better than the new Hockenheim imo, which I think I worse than Valencia! :p I think the Hungaroring is one of those tracks where the racing might not always be the best, but it's fun just to watch the cars lap around the circuit, which feels quite retro after the Tilkedromes.by flat tyre - F1
It's down the curved straight towards the hairpin, activation just after turn 4.by flat tyre - F1
But you could argue that the driver has an advantage then, because they can abuse the gearbox more whereas other drivers trying to make it last two races will be using it more carefully. I have no problem with the rule tbh, I don't think it does any harm and does more good than bad.by flat tyre - F1
