Fourth place for STR was a fantastic result after a great race, glad TOIT managed to hold off Mercedes. McLaren clearly don't have the best chassis on the grid with Renault power now they've ditched Honda, dreadful race for Red Bull, maybe Max needs…
Yep a very sad state of affairs if they don't manage to find some new investment. A shame Stephen Fitzpatrick never really had the money to fund the team longterm, lots of reports of interested parties, negotiations etc. but no one coming up with th…
Plenty of him not giving a hoot, not sure about envy but seeing as both he and Seb have now been penalised,how come Lewis got away with missing the first 2 corners at the start??
Apart from Simons masterpiece, obviously, I don't have that many motorsport books. Murray Walkers book I found less engaging than it should have been but Mrs Watkins book about Bernie and the Ken Tyrell biography are both highly recommended!
Certainly shows that even after 10 years Minardi still has a great deal of influence in terms of drivers at the highest level.
And there are plenty of younger Minardi managed drivers coming through, including Nannini jnr!
The troubles at the evil empire would be more amusing if Fred wasn't there but I'm sure Honda will improve.
Qualifying was more dramatic for what went wrong than for actual on track action, bad day for Vettel but good for Lotus and Bottas.
Can't…
Not a bad team at all Manlio, back based in Sheffield as well, even saw the cars back at the original factory when I passed at the weekend. As to who the second driver will be, who knows?
RIP Sir Jack, a very sad day but a man who lived a much longer and fuller life than most of his contemporaries and achieved vast amount in F1 and motorsport in general.
Even more worrying is that 1989 was my first full season of F1, cheering fot Sandro in his Benetton, so that must mean that I'm becoming "classic" as well!
Certainly the engine sound on TV is extremely disappointing, but the race was actually reasonably entertaining I thought.
Great drive by Bottas and Magnusson and a real shame for Riciardo to be disqualified after his podium, fairly anonymous race …
Unfortunately Marussia are now a very long way from Manor Motorsport, based just round the corner from me in the F1 mecca of Dinnington, but it is very sad to see the end of Marks F1 career, I do wonder though if he would have been a better option f…
Hmmm not sure it will be quite as explosive as some people seem to think, Fred obviously has the team with him at the moment but if Kimi does bring his own engineer with him as is being suggested then he will just be able to put his head down and ge…
Seems a shame that he's leaving F1 completely, I would have thought Mark has agreat deal more to offer but I suppose the sport cars offers a new challenge.
As mentioned he'll always have Melbourne!

Very true, how strange no ones mentioned that??
Entertaining race though, Alonso excellent, Massa quick but a shame Bottas went backwards. Not sure what Williams are go…
