Wasn't the actual conversation something like:

Ken : Are you OK?
MB : Yes, just let's keep moving.
Ken : OK then.
MB : Ken...
Ken : Yes?
MB : When I leave the stall, do I turn left or right?
Ken : You're done for the day, Martin.


Worth to mention the Brazil 1994 where he got probably one of the heaviest hits to the head in the history of sports, yet walked away. Felt down few times on his way to the pits, had his briefing and flew of to the UK. Only went to see the doctor because the family said he doesn't seem to be ok. Still raced in the next GP weekend.

He must be a robot. Or the black knight from the Monthy Python.

Was it 10 euro? I thought 20. Anyway, I also went in 2016. And I loved it. Cheap tickets to Barcelona, cheap airbnb, and F1 cars the entire day. And if the cars aren't running that day, you are still in barcelona. And indeed, you can try almost every grandstand. Only downside: the 30-40 minute walk from the trainstation to the track. And when you are tired from the trackwalking, you have to go back as well.

I'm planning to go back this year, this time with my father who was jealous after my stories.

I thought we paid 20 Euro for 2 days

I also agree with the Barcelona factor. I travel a lot and there aren't many cities where I'd just go back without asking but Barcelona is one of them.

We took the bus from the station, very convenient and stops very close to the main grandstand, it just that you have to wait for quite a while since it isn't running that frequently. I forgot how often it runs but I'd guess every half hour.

Villeneuve lamenting modern F1:

He's definitely right about this though:

Why do people keep asking about his opinion? Or does he shout it loud enough till someone steps up and admits "yeah no now he knows that I heard him, I can't pretend to ignore him anymore or people will think I'm a jerk"

Because he's topicworthy. He just gives great clickbaits. Is he always on the right track? Hell no! Does he have experience of F1? Yes, he's a world champion. Sold!


I think JV knows this and sometimes just exploits the situation. Sometime he's right with what he says, but sometimes he says something utterly idiotic and still makes the headlines. Here he's half right. F1 has overly complex engine rules (or should we say power source rules, to be more precise?) but then again it helps to develop road cars. But would I want to have a Honda or Renault with KERS, ERS, DRS, FRICS, MGU-K and what ever and then try to figure it out why it stopped in the worst possible moment? No. So this time JV actually has a point.

Some of what he says is true but in his truth he's showing he's a hypocrite (I'm referring to his comments about drivers not having any respect for their competitors)

Who cares if he's right? It's not like he's saying anything we haven't heard repeatedly for the past 3 years, so why does anyone care?

I don't mind high tech engines.

But I would like to have that feeling again that they are pushed to the limit in each race and if they go 'kaboom', bad luck.

But because of the engine freeze and limited number of engines all the engineering went into making the reliable and are tuned down in each race.

McLaren will be launching on February 24, and Sauber has confirmed Pascal Wehrlein for this season.

Claire Williams has also hinted that their driver line-up will be announced this week.

Someone wants Manor: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.ph ... r-for-2017

Hope it goes through.

High tech engines should be showcased in the WEC, imagine the publicity it would get if they could say "hey this car won the 24 hour race using only 5 gallons of fuel".

Bottas confirmed

Surely this is Coulthard's year?

Again, no... DC just can't catch a break can he?

It's all meh.

Wehrlein to Sauber is great news for both! It's at least a very minor step up from the Manor (IMO) and his pace and talent should allow him to regularly compete for points more consistently. Unless of course, 2017 is nothing like last year...

Meh, this only ensures that the price for watching F1 doubles this year in Finland.
So, Vipleague for me.

Glad to see Pascal has a drive, although I would have liked to see him in a slightly better team.

Massa? Meh. Nice guy, but he already looked on the decline last season. Even if he does know the team, there are plenty of other experienced drivers who could have been up to speed in no time and a better choice.

Not sure what to see think about Bottas. Everyone seems convinced that he's going to be some kind of Rubens/Heikki, playing the perfect number two. It's possible that he could threaten Lewis on occasion.
