Does anybody else think Vettel looks oddly natural in Ferrari red?  

Rosberg now mathematically needs misfortune on Hamilton's side of the garage to take the title. He cannot win on merit alone.   ... as if he was going to anyway

  The current structure only hurts the small teams. Audi ain't one of those. With revenue of 10 times what Red Bull has at their disposal (and about 7 times the profit) they could easily afford the same level of investment RBR has backing it - and that's been shown to be plenty. If Audi joined...

  It was 9 years ago, believe it or not... And no, nothing will ever be that bad again   I'll miss Marussia; they really seemed a team on the rise, upsetting Caterham with their massive budget difference. Although really, Bianchi was my favorite thing about the team; Marussia with Chilton...

Tech Guru. Which is fair, I suppose.   There needs to be a 'no answer' for the Social Media question, though. I'm not on any form of Social Media.

It's not just us, either...     I weigh a heck of a lot more than 20 pounds over what I did in 1990, but that's not very surprising considering my age.

 Nope. But I did think in my mind 'he has P2 safely in hand' just before the last corner

I think it's serious. The whole thing has a feeling eerily similar to Imola 1994. Nobody is saying anything, but pictures of the car (so I hear - I've avoided looking at them) suggest part or all may have gone under the digger. Really hoping he's okay - I'd hope the same for anyone, but I've...

So it looks like the race might be happening either earlier or not at all...   http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2816   Bad news for the championship if true. Increased chance of the title being decided purely based on Abu Dhabi, fewer good tracks left on...

  That'll be a hard act, considering some others this season. But better than last year seems a good bet

I don't care about driver whining, what I don't want to hear is drivers being told how to drive. That's going away, so this is a positive for me (although not without its bad side).

To be honest I'm not sure Heidfeld would have made the corner on that line; Prost might have been able to keep a cool head and re-pass him afterwards, depending on how close the finish line was (I don't remember). But yeah, not quite right to blame Heidfeld there.   (obligatory Senna/Prost...

  They might be the best, but I still believe Mercedes built a good enough Chassis to compete this year even if the engines were equal. Frankly, I'm not sure how much I believe Red Bull about how far behind they are in power anymore either.   As for the team radio, isn't this what a lot of...

  I got my personal favorite, le Professeur. I'm not going to take it enough times to figure out how it's weighted, but I think the car is important. I tried to avoid guessing the answer outcomes

  You're probably right, and I admit I don't see what point was being served by any supposed lesson. If Lewis had been racing dirty or trying to crowd him off track I could see it, but unless he's still really bent about Bahrain he's got nothing to complain about. I think either he did it by...

  It may be that he sees his choice as either a) Nico is willing to hit Lewis to make a point, or b) Nico is incompetent and hit Lewis by accident, and prefers the former. That said, every reliable source I've seen has only confirmed that Nico admitted that 'he could have avoided the incident...

What a race!! This is Formula One, *****!     So is this now a 1-horse race, or a 3-horse race in earnest?

I think basically  

Fascinating qualifying, as one expects from a wet qualy in Spa!    Really looking forward to an exciting race tomorrow!

  No doubt; to say I don't rate Ericsson highly is an understatement. I doubt Lotterer could match Kobayashi so closely on his first F1 drive.

  I thought I remember Lauda saying in an interview that his father pulled the plug at the last minute so he took out a loan against his life insurance? Either way, if Max was another Niki I think we'd have seen something by now.   Quote:   You don't say?   FP1 LOT: 1:57.886 ERI...

Williams to certainly spank Red Bull and Ferrari, says I. Challenge Merc? No, the middle sector is too aerodynamic for that, unless they qualify ahead. I could see a Williams (Bottas) keeping a Merc (Rosberg) behind, but I don't see them getting past if they don't start that way or get ahead on...

Some of that might be down to their relationship with their engine supplier; I do remember that going into this year Mercedes said they were going to 'treat McLaren as a rival', whatever that means. Might have something to do with why their development seems worse, if they're getting either...

  Honestly, on the strength of how he's done compared to Ricciardo this year, why would they want Vettel? They've already got an expensive world champion who's struggling with his car   Seriously though, I do think if Seb doesn't start performing pretty soon he is in serious danger of losing...
