With these tracks there is little room for being punished for a mistake. Go wide and just gun it on the tarmac runoff. No grass and gravel to slow you down. I know its not the magic bullet, but I firmly believe that if we had gravel and grass back at the edge of circuits just after the kerbs (rathe... |

Make a ridiculously tight corner even tighter by extending the inside kerb out further than it should be. Yeah, they're ridiculous...ly awesome. |

Button is worthless beside Alonso. The guy can be unbeatablein a great car, but in am average car, he is nowhere. And all this crap about his experience helpi.g the team help forward. Well, Mclaren is still nowhere, so great references there. He is still good for sponsors. If it wasn't for Brawn, h... |

Lewis Hamilton did not lie about his relationship with team-mate Nico Rosberg Taken out of context this sounds like some sort of buttsechs allegations. Come to think of it, the on-track shenanigans could be unresolved things in bed and sexual tension between the two. Come to think of it, there's al... |

meanwhile at the tour de france 200 people are going downhill at 100km/h wearing a lycra suit and a plastic bowl over their head running on 2cm wide tyres on roads full of poles, ravines, and potentially fatal obstacles and nobody complains about it. Fuck F1 |

I may be in the minority here, but I would have rather see Vettel, Kimi, Hamilton and Verstappen all be DNFs, or at least have had a trundle through a gravel trap at turn 1 than see the end of this race. Kimi and Verstappen both made the exact same mistake twice. To me that is unacceptable. As far a... |

If you or anyone else will stop watching the sport because drivers want 17% more of a chance of surviving a potential fatal accident, well then http://ct.fra.bz/ol/fz/sw/i48/5/1/18/fbz_ebe684d04e72174a360e454a28a1f78b.jpg What if I told you that I want F1 to be as dangerous as Isle of Man.

To add to JJ: nobody is forcing men to get in a car or on a bike and race with it in dangerous conditions. |

I know that I may have Neanderthal opinions on this to you (and the state of the engines) but I believe that if issues of drivers being smashed in the head were a common occurrence in open wheel racing then yes I would agree. Henry Surtees, Justin Wilson, Jules Bianchi, Ayrton Senna would disagree ... |

Just because there might be an extremely rare situation where halo could have helped doesn't mean it justifies it. There are also road accidents where the driver survived because he didn't wear a seatbelt but it's so rare we're not banning them. I see the halo just like that. What it prevents is so ... |

Let's wait. Current indycars look like shit, people complain a lot about their aero, yet they provide some of the most entertaining fields and road races. |

I visited the track yesterday, was in Milano and it was on my way back to the airport so I set aside a couple hours to get a look around. The whole track was surprisingly still freely accessible through the park, including the old oval and all of the grandstands. The track looks really great and som... |

What if the inside of the corner is flat and the outside becomes more and more banked, therefore creating multiple lines that would be equally fast? Some ovals have progressive banking, Homestead has that I think in order to promote side-by-side racing. It's a very tiny difference though, about one... |

I guess we all see things differently. In the past he's done and said some dumb things, on and off track, but since moving to Mercedes he's attitude has been different and much better to that of his time at McLaren. If you want to call him out for enjoying is lifestyle outside of F1 and for him bein... |

What does it matter if fuel flow is still limited and if Pirelli can't get their tyres right? Do we seriously still blame Pirelli for the shit F1 throws at it? We all know the secret to the sport being exciting is the tyres and that the teams lose their shit when pirelli do get their tyres right (a... |

So F1 sucks these days because they don't crash as much? The crashes are less spectacular? Drivers aren't getting hurt anymore? always this bullshit. Yes I want more crashes. No I don't want people to get hurt. F1 is in a state where this is perfectly possible to combine. What I want is a good hard... |

I only care about them when they have the helmets on. But the anti-hamilton hate has been some of the worst vitriol I've ever seen in F1, Schumacher kind of had the same thing from a minority of fans, (and he kind of did himself no favours it with his blatent low points such as Adelaide 94, Jerez 97... |
