    The 2015 F1 World Championship Thread

    No form of motorsport that I can think of has a special version for women. It's just not necessary, and even if it was, there wouldn't be enough women to fill entire grids anyway, because the underlying problem (well not 'problem', but 'issue', unless you consider not having a 50/50 split of men...

    Oh piss off Rosberg. Hopefully the prick gets a DNF then a 3rd so Abu Derpy doesn't decide the title.

    F1 2014 Championship Thread

    The reason the SC was needed imo is purely due to the risk of someone aquaplaning off and smashing into marshals or tractors (which is what happened). If Sutil's accident happened in the dry or in a less risky position, there would be no need for it. Pretty much every driver ignores double...

    F1 2014 Championship Thread

    Changing the race time wouldn't have made a difference imo - it didn't look THAT wet, and the light levels looked just fine on TV (the cameras can make it look better than it really is though). They should have brought the safety car out as soon as Sutil crashed. Yellows just aren't good enough...

    F1 2014 Championship Thread

    Hasn't Vettel said in the past that he would like to drive for Ferrari? Maybe he thinks that the Red Bull domination is over without Newey and he might as well go off and fulfil another dream. Alonso to McLaren sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, but maybe he has patched things up with...

    Bit harsh, and probably impossible to enforce, but at least it's a step in the right direction. The amount of micromanaging the drivers get from the pit wall these days is just ridiculous, almost like having two-way telemetry.

    F1 2014 Championship Thread

    Rosberg is just poor at wheel-to-wheel racing and always has been (albeit not usually in a dangerous way like a Maldonado or a 2012 Grosjean), I'm surprised the same thing didn't happen in Bahrain, Spain or Hungary. The 'oh I did it on purpose' thing is probably just to avoid admitting to his...

    Spoke too soon! More like a gifted win for Hamilton, but it's about time for Rosberg to have some bad luck anyway so it's hardly undeserved. At least Alonso vs Vettel made up for the lack of Hamilton vs Rosberg. Shame that Button missed out on 3rd. Always nice to have Ricciardo on the podium...

    So, looks like this season is going to turn out like last year then - gifted wins for an undeserving German prick (and this one isn't even a real German).

    That Schumacher story is confirmed. The fact that they're talking about rehab now has to be a good sign.

    So that's Porsche screwed then (not that they were likely to win it, but 2nd maybe), and the Audi procession finally begins. What a shame. It's the wrong one in the lead as well :( Real shame for Toyota #7 though. They should have had this in the bag.

    Rosberg escapes a penalty for going straight on to stay in the lead, almost loses it on an outlap, has a terrible stop, has the same reliability issues as Hamilton, yet he's on course for a win while Hamilton is out of it? What a farce. I'm done with this race.

    Hamilton really needs to put Britney in his place this weekend.

    F1 2014 Championship Thread

    So Rosberg ruins his own lap and forces Hamilton to back off in the process due to yellows. What a dickhead. It's just like when Schumi parked up at Rascasse...

    Ricciardo really deserves better, doesn't he? He comes into a team that revolves around Vettel, and despite getting screwed over repeatedly through no fault of his own, still has a massive grin on his face and still manages to make Vettel look average. Maybe he wouldn't have got the podium if...

    Shame for Ricciardo really, but this is more important than one driver getting a podium. Red Bull have finally been put in their place!

    All the whiners have been put in their place. One of the worst tracks on the calender has just given us one of the best races in years. It really did have everything (except for a good result for McLaren :(). I don't care at all that Mercedes are running away with it, because Hamilton and...

    Red Bull cheating as usual then. Obviously Renault are having turbo issues, and while the other Renault teams are getting around it by turning everything down so that they have some headroom to increase the fuel as needed without going over the limit (hence why the Merc cars seem to have so...

    Red Bull didn't even get a single full lap in today. *insert Nelson 'HA ha' here*
