Formula 1 - 2013 Season

[DJ12]

McLarens 2 year cycle means next years car will be a good one so he could go back there.

I agree that McLaren is the only team he'd likely go to but for me it's a non-starter as well.

 

[Bludd]

No contest in the quali. A real snooze. Only the performance of the Saubers was of any interest, a great job by both drivers.

 

[jimbo75]

Terrible, terrible strategy by Merc. Hamilton should have been in 4 laps ago.

 

[DuckThor Evil]

What the fuck is going on...

 

[jimbo75]

Some amazing racing going on here.

 

[Lightman]

Vettel leading most of the laps, but at least Fire Truck lead for a bit as well

Great race from 2nd down!

 

[Bludd]

Great race by Hülkenberg, to Alonso's detriment.

The Hülk, Hamilton, Alonso fight was excellent racing.

I thought the race was awful, the first safety car was out for way too long, 2nd safety car was a joke.
Kimi got gifted 2nd place, Grosjean was robbed.
Webber was doing well.... starting from 13th(which was bullshit) then getting in front of Hamilton, only to have everything work against him.

There was one driver who really impressed me, Hulkenburg, he had a superb race.
Hamilton threw everything at him but The Hulk(i'm guessing this is his nickname) just outclassed him, with obvious help from the shockingly good sauber.

If Alonso leaves Ferrari then his spot needs to be filled by Hulkenburg, put him in a race winning car.

Kimi got gifted 2nd place, Grosjean was robbed.

Grosjean lost the position on his own mistake, admitted it himself too (of course that would have never happened without the safety car(s) but still, it wasn't "team orders" or any such, heck, they even said to Grosjean that he's "faster than Kimi, you can pass him" to which Grosjean replied "No I can't")

I'm not saying Kimi did not drive better at the end to beat Grosjean, i'm saying he was gifted the position because without the safety cars there was zero chance of him catching Grosjean on his own.

Yes, in that sense you're right obviously. Just talking about team mates and gifting makes it sound like team gifted the position

No chance, i remember clearly the conversation they had over the radio, also Grosjean will be their main driver next year, i doubt they want him losing to Kimi.

 

[Tahir2]

McLaren have some interesting announcements to make reference new hirings in the technical departments.

Some are widely speculating that Adrian Newey is set to return to his old team... Personally don't believe it but would be amazing if it did happen.

 

[Phil]

I think there are indications that Brawn is leaving Mercedes and there's some speculation that he may join McLaren or Honda, though that would be 2015. But I think something is up with Brawn...

 

[DJ12]

Adrian newey needs to move yo shake things up a bit.

Fernando Alonso: Kimi Raikkonen 'no quicker' than Felipe Massa

 

[Kaotik]

Fernando Alonso: Kimi Raikkonen 'no quicker' than Felipe Massa

I wonder what he says next season after losing to Räikkönen in the end

 

[Wynix]

Fernando Alonso: Kimi Raikkonen 'no quicker' than Felipe Massa

This is nothing other than sour grapes, Kimi is clearly quicker.

Also; Hulkenburg to Lotus?

Could be interesting, hopefully the F1 do something to help taller/heavier drivers too.

 

[Davros]

Yes, they are banning pies
