Alonso has truly lost his mind going back to McLaren but Ferrari is such a shithole now that I can't blame him too much.

Or Vergne. Also I've got some stats showing that Maldonaldo and Chilton are the worst drivers on the grid. They should probably be put out of their misery.

Mercedes
Hamilton: 384
Rosberg: 317 - 83%

Red Bull
Ricciardo: 238
Vettel: 167 - 70%

Williams
Bottas: 186
Massa: 134 - 72%

Ferrari
Alonso: 161
Raikkonen: 55 - 34%

McLaren
Button: 126
Magnussen: 55 - 44%

Force India
Hulkenberg: 96
Perez: 59 - 61%

Toro Rosso
Vergne: 22
Kvyat: 8 - 36%

Lotus
Grosjean: 8
Maldonaldo: 2 - 25%

Marussia
Bianchi: 2
Chilton: 0 - 0%

Barrichello once scored more points than Button when they were teammates, Button once scored more points than Hamilton when they were teammates, therefore Barrichello is a better driver than 2 times champ Lewis Hamilton.

That looks totally insane and it's a miracle people aren't dying in those much more than they are. And then imagine the good old days that had spectators everywhere, and most of them in the most dangerous spots. Crazy.

I watched one of Kubica going through some tiny village roads and it looked loving insane, these guys have out of this world reflexes.

That is an amazing article. I want it to be true so badly because it would demonstrate once and for all that Briatore is an eternal fuckup who couldn't manage a child's school project and ought to be banned from anything to do with adult life, let alone F1.

But the author's quotes being "used without attribution" is the most hilariously bullshit journalism phrase I have ever heard. At least the Daily Mail just goes "our source" and doesn't even try to legitimise the fact that they're making poo poo up.

I was thinking that Ron Dennis has Alonso by the balls, he either signs for them under Ron's terms or he can sit the season out, there's nowhere for Alonso to go unless 3 car teams become necessary and even then I don't think Red Bull or Mercedes would hire him considering their policies.

Such awful contract negotiations.

Ron Dennis is to ensure only suitably shaped Nachos inhabit the Mclaren motorhome.

The recruitment of Sergio Perez to the Woking team nearly collapsed at the last minute when it was revealed the 22 year old was a big fan of his country’s staple diet of re-fried leftovers and crisps.

Camp interior design expert, Laurence Llewelyn Bowen said, “serving spicy South American finger food amidst Mclaren’s proto-industrial minimalist chic is a recipe for disaster.”
