What? Are you seeing a different Maldonado than me? This guy deserves many things, but no F1 cockpit for sure. Classical pay driver with money buying things when talent is missing.

If Lewis didn't have bad luck he wouldn't have any right now.

Regarding the new venues in the coming seasons: Mexico is a good move. F1 has been there before and the potential audience is huge. With two Mexican drivers you'd hope the fans will turn out in force. I was kind of hoping the New Jersey race would be scrapped now that there will be three North American races. One in the US, Canada and Mexico should work well.

Azerbaijan will be on the calendar from 2016 too. No surprise there. Same old 'Oil rich country gets a grand prix' shocker. I'm guessing they will run the Baku street circuit that the Blancpain GT series uses.

BBC were speculating that one or more of the 'classic' venues will have to make way as 20 races is seen as the maximum for F1. Monza is being talked about but I just can't see that happening. Spa has been on a knife-edge for a while now too.

The first sentence doesn't make sense? If he didn't have bad luck he wouldn't have any right now? Uhh?
 
ye mane lewis's luck has been real shit this season, and at hungaryoring is probably the 2nd worse track to get a fire and then start from pit lane, it the hardest track to overtake after monaco, i think he can finish maybe about 5th, that's if he don't DNF from collision.
also ferrari need to eliminate raikkonen, dude is finished, they need to put bianchi in they car asap, kimi got 19 points so far and alonso got like 5x that much..
 
Anyway, agree with Dazzla - Kimi needs to move on. I don't think he has the hunger for F1. It's just a paycheck to him. He's just too difficult a package for modern F1. He needs a car designed to his exact requirements in order to thrive and that won't happen while Alonso is the de facto team leader at Ferrari.

Bianchi would be the logical replacement but I would still very much like to see The Hulk given one last chance.
 
Not sure, if it's all Kimi's fault. Yes, he made some "interesting" choices during races this season, but I think his team isn't too motivated to deliver him a car he can drive well and additionally made some very naive strategy mistakes. Ferrari finished the season in their minds early this year and focussed on the next year, their cars aren't really fast enough. Alonso just has the advantage over Kimi that the car was designed for him as no. 1 driver in the team and so he managed to get his points. Still have the hope of Hülk getting his chance to be Kimi's successor next season, because I don't think that Kimi will be willing to be another year with this team.
 
yeh it was an amazing race, great win for riccairdo.
mclaren need to sort out their weather radar, is it different to everyone else's? they could of had a decent result today,
and mercedes asking hamilton to move over for rosberg was shit and was never gonna happen, they are fighting for driver title and they already have the constructors title sewed up and rosberg couldn't get close enough to pass anyway, i don't know what they were thinking about..
 
Yeah, Hamilton didn't move to Mercedes to get involved in team orders. Ridiculous call by the team when both drivers are in a close fight for the championship.
 
I have finally had a chance to see the race and I am positively surprised for 2nd week in a row. What a race! It was helped a lot by mixed grid positions because of mechanical failures and with few SC periods, but lots of fights and overtakes (which are normally rare at Hungaroring), lots of different tactical decisions and some nice driving skills from guys in top teams.
 
Melbourne extended its contract to host the Australian F1 Grand Prix until 2020. Good news, always liked the track, hopefully it also stays as opening of the season, always been so nice to wake up early in the morning for all the new information ahead of and the first GP of the season.
 
ye austrlaia being the 1st race is like a F1 tradition, it's always been the 1st race since for ages apart from that 1 season aint it?
also how bernie end his bribery trial with.... a £60m bribe wtf:LMAO:
 
so Bernie has wiggled out of this with another bribe...100m$ :FAIL:

And his lawyer has said that he will ask for that money to be spent on building an F1 circuit in Bavaria.
 
Just read that Max Verstappen (17 years old now), the son of Jos Verstappen, will take Vergne's cockpit at Toro Rosso next year. Kvyat will remain in the other cockpit.
 
17? he must have mad talent, it sucks for vergne though, he normally does a solid job but has had some bad luck with retirements.
 
they say that he has great talent, but results don't really show that. They have in their drivers academy much more successful driver, Carlos Sainz Jr. (son of rally legend Carlos Sainz) who is quite dominant in WSbR this season.
 
Andre Lotterer (Le Mans winner in 2011, 2012 and 2014) will replace Kamui Kobayashi (Caterham) in Spa according to Sport1. They didn't wrote why, though, leaving room for speculation...
 
Seems that I had wrong info on Verstappen. Friend of mine is closely following all lower Formula series' and he had said that plan was for Verstappen to drive in Formula Renault 2.0 this season. He came on his 1st test and sat new track record. He did the same thing on his 2nd FR2.0 test. They than decided to put him in midfield Formula 3 team for a year and then give him spot in one of top F3 teams, but he is in battle for championship this season.

He deserves another shot in an F1 car, even if it's only half a season. He's had a fantastic endurance racing career so far.
 
Good race today, obvious talking point aside. Plenty of battles and close racing. Spa rarely disappoints.

Another great showing from Ricciardo and Bottas. Very pleased to see two of the nice guys continuing to deliver on their potential.

A shit storm brewing at Mercedes then. Hamilton is claiming that Rosberg admitted to driving into him on purpose "to prove a point". Toto Wolff was clearly furious at the incident and Niki Lauda was apportioning blame on Rosberg from the outset (I agree with him). I would love to be a fly on the wall at the Mercedes debriefings tonight.

Perhaps I'm biased as a Brit and a fan of Hamilton but he really is getting the shitty end of the stick this season with all the mechanical issues and incidents. I do feel a little sorry for him. That's not to say he hasn't been guilty of fueling the fire between him and Rosberg, but he doesn't deserve this.

Next year will be interesting. Chances of both drivers being at Mercedes next year? If the relationship has become that fractious then maybe it's best to move one of the drivers on.
 
Rosberg already has a new contract and I can't imagine Hamilton walking away from this car.

I think they'll sort it out but for me Rosberg is afraid of Hamilton (the driver).
 
hamilton has contract for 2015 but not 2016 i think, i don't see any of them moving for a while.
everything is working out perfectly for nico rosberg this season, taking out the only other driver in the championship, 18 points gain, his car 550% more reliable than lewis'. & are mercedes even going to punish nico for the collision, he cost the team a 1-2 and wolff was mad as fuck. maybe they just slap him a little bit.
 
Abu Dhabi is not a bad circuit. It's not the greatest track, but definitely in the better half of the calendar. Sochi will have to prove how good it is, that video didn't show much helpful stuff, the Infinity isn't comparable to a F1 car.
 
No but look at it: pancake flat, no corner is memorable from the last, few redeeming features.

I don't think the speed of an F1 car is going to polish this turd.
