Here's hoping they can salvage something...I don't see it happening, this is Alonso all over again.

Michael won 2 titles before moving to Ferrari, thus I conservatively estimate 10 consecutive titles brought to their rightful place in Maranello.

"Hamilton disappeared up his own a*se long ago."

This is such a wonderful article for all the reasons opposite of what the author thinks makes it a wonderful article.

What is that supposed to display? It looks to be about the size of a tablet. What useful information will be displayed on such a thing, that cannot be better transmitted by some on-screen graphic? Or as someone said above, by just knowing driver helmets and the tyres? There aren't that many drivers, and there are only 6 different types of tyres, of which two you see very rarely.

What a racist garbageman team, no surprise that they had to kick out Alonso at the honest and respectful institution that is Ferrari, which just wouldn't put up with such an attitude.

I think for it being the first season they're doing quite well. I agree with the Valencia parallels though, and fear that Buenos Aires might be the same.

5. NICO ROSBERG (115 points)
6. FELIPE MASSA (55 points)
7. SEBASTIAN VETTEL (53 points)


This is extremely insulting to Massa

As a North American, as far as I can tell Soccer is less about watching the game and more about wearing fascist symbols to the stadium and beating up Azeri migrants selling fruit afterwards.

Hence why its utterly baffling that a thread full of enthusiastic Formula 1-watchers doesn't embrace football with the same passion.

In actual news, Schumacher can apparently recognise his immediate family. This according to famous cripple Philippe Streiff.

Were are these rumours about locked in syndrome coming from? They are at odds with what Kehm and even Streiff are saying. Long and hard road to recovery sounds quite a lot better if the alternative is can't move anything at all.

The Philippe Streiff comments, at least, have been denied by the doctors as well as the family's spokeperson. He was (again) blowing smoke out of his rear end.

Increased Japanese involvement is pointless and boring and only matters to the shitbox Mclaren unless there is also a rising amount of brilliant Japanese drivers to amuse the 99% of the crowd who would rather that mclaren would stop disgracing this sport already.
