Her interview on Sky F1 was wicked, she has been tweeting Georgie Thompson for a few day etc, she looked sooooooo good too




Sky's interview was probably a lot longer too, EJ only got like 20 seconds of air time with her

RB haven't broken any rules, Adrian Newey is an absolute genius

When they have been told to change things they have (diffuser, engine maps)
They were the ones clever enough to find the loop holes in the first place

As Alonso said hes not racing Vettel, he is racing Adrian

Can't remember where di resta came but he seems well off form at the moment?




I agree, Newey is a genius, however, pace and development should come from genuine advances in technology and aerodynamics, not trying to find dodgy loopholes they might get away with.

The fuelling issue this weekend raises a serious trust question about the rest of the season so far. The FIA doesn't check the full 1 litre for each car after the race, but by arousing the suspicion by stopping out on track (McLaren are guilty of this too), how many more qualifications have they finished with below regulation fuel levels?

It seems as though we are heading to a Red Bull/Vettel domination era same as the Ferrari/Schumacher domination era of the late 90's. It makes F1 predictable, boring, and detrimental for competitors, teams, managers, sponsors, and fans.

first few laps notwithstanding starting from pit lane too and more things were going not his way, Vettel was throwing his dummy out on the radio and hand gesturing too at other cars if I remember.

Precisely. A 'legendary' driver knows to keep his cool, and to pass people when they think they can, not when they think they should, then get disappointed when it doesn't go their way.

There's no doubting Vettel is a quick driver, but he's not the best on the grid. Much as I dislike the guy there's no denying that Alonso is the best driver out there

Hamilton is insanely consistent as well if you think how many times he has been fastest in quali by some distance this year.
Shame a) he's a bit of a spoilt kid when things aren't going his way and b) Mclaren can't deliver him with a championship winning car (or even one that can finish every race for that matter).

Vettel lost my respect this year, the amount of times he has been a dick head after the races. E.g. drawing on Jake Humphreys shirt the other week, pouring champagne over DC's head during his interview with Raikonnen
It's not funny you German b*ll end it's embarrassing and you should show some respect

From what I have just read it seems RB removed fuel so there wasn't enough on purpose after the quali lap, may just be the way it was written though

It seems to just be random testing aswell when they do checkups

Really looking forward to the F1 this weekend

USA GP Austin Texas....... It's a stunning track made up of all the best bits from other tracks. It has the Maggotts and Beckets section from Silverstone, the famous Turn 8 multiple apex corner from Turkey, the in field section from Hockenheim and massive elevation change into the first corner.......!!!

Nice times for TV too:

P1 3pm
P2 7pm
P3 sat 3pm
Quali sat 6pm
Race sun 7pm
