Granted, Schumacher won in an avegae car with Beneton, but give Button a break.  Hamilton won in '08 in the best car, Kimi won the year before in the best car.  Alonso won twice in the best car, Schumacher won his titles in the best car. You need the combination of driver and car.  If Button was a crap driver he'd be crashing every ...

Is it just me or does it seem a bit daft to have a super soft tyre which in Australia seemed to be almost useless. The FIA keep saying that they wanted technologies in F1 which were useful in some way to modern vehicles or applicable to them in the not too distant future. They changed the rules so the available tyres were two compounds apart, ...

lcooper01: i can't understand why British people have such a problem with lewis Hamilton. i find him a great driver to watch and has a great connection with his family. i can see people may hate him for not starting at a lower team in F1 but why anything else. why do British people rather support a foreign driver like Massa who i find is ...

Why doesn't Max introduce a new way of cost cutting.  Instead of the teams actually racing you could have a panel of stewards and lawyers fly to each venue and decide in a meeting who should win.  Would save a fortune flying cars around, cut design cost, save tyres, fuel, drivers wages, the environment.  The regulations wouldn't ...

lcooper01: i've just read in todays newspaper that three teams cars (BRAWN GP, Toyota and Williams) have been deemed Illegal by other teams on the grid NOT by the FIA. the reason the other teams saying the cars are illegal is due to the teams named finding a loophole to do with the place of the Diffuser. both Bernie and Max have said if Brawn ...

This is a good thing for 2009.  The drivers didn't want it.  The teams didn't want it.  Ex drivers thought it was a bad idea.  The pundits didn't want it.  The fans thought it was a bad idea.  The only two people on the planet who thought it would work were Bernie and Max. Why, when the whole world thinks the FIA are ...

ben100:You have shown us how to run an Airline a Music Shop a Radio Station to name a few of your businesses now show us how to run an F1 team Virgin sold their music shops to Zavvi who went bust.  Virgin Radio have stopped broadcasting at least on digital. Richard Branson does however seem to have the spirit of adventure, otherwise ...

This may have been covered already, and I apologise if it has.  Why have Renault been allowed to develope their underpowered engine following the freeze of a few years ago. It was my understanding that all teams submitted detailed specs for their engines prior to the freeze on developement.  Surely if Renault got it so wrong then, ...

RaggedEdge: I wonder if ING bosses had enough of Alonso's antics...? Or perhaps it was a case of ING not wanting their brand tarnished by the Alonso ''Evil Tactics/Blackmailing'' brand...? Nothing to do with Alonso.  Sponsorship has to be seen by Companies now as a major waste of money. Feel for all ING employees, and this will hurt ...

I think Max will change his mind when he makes the announcement in June or July.  Think he only said he'd go 'cause his fingernails were getting sore hanging onto his job by them.  Many more years of Max I suspect.
