Admin Lineker Posted July 4, 2014 Author Admin Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Huge shunt for Massa in P1. Session has been red-flagged. The owners of Formula One, CVC Capital Partners, are to sell a large part of their controlling 35.5% stake in the sport as they face up to life after Bernie Ecclestone. The new investors will “have a view on the value of the sport”, according to an insider. Should spell the end for Bernie, regardless of the outcome of his court case.

Fry_4000 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Another Lewis error, gonna be very hard for him to win tomorrow. Should be fun seeing Alonso and the two williams come from the back. I would say Kimi as well but with his recent form i can't see him getting top 10. More points possibly for Maurssia tomorrow depening on weather. Great quali for them.

LUKIE Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Brutal crash. Absolutely brutal. There was nothing Kimi could have done as son as that car jumped. I hope he is okay. Massa reacted so perfectly though. I would easily say 50% of the other drivers would have just T-Boned Kimi, but Massa knew he had to spin that car to avoid it.

Rainiac Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 That was one horrendous crash. Kimi was visibly limping when he was helped out of the car. Hope he's not injured Gutted for Massa too. It absolutely sucks that his 200th Grand Prix had to end like that. Amazing reaction to the accident by him though, without a doubt he just ensured the accident wasn't a hell of a lot worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUKIE Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 All the bitching from them aside, Vettel/Alonso was amazing. Alonso defended mightily and Vettels pass was mighty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainiac Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The Vettel/Alonso battle was the best part of an otherwise pretty dull British Grand Prix. The result was never in doubt from the moment Rosberg had to retire, and the only other highlight for me was watching Bottas make his way back up the field to finish in a very impressive 2nd. He could be something very special in a couple of years' time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 It's a shame that Rosberg had to retire but it's fairly obvious that while Lewis was catching him very quickly, his pace was flattered by Nico's problem. It would have been really interesting if Rosberg's car was healthy because the hard tyre looked to be the one to be on. However, it's a great result for the championship. Almost half distance and they're only seperated by 4pts. Who's your money on guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainiac Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 If I was a betting man my money would still be on Rosberg. Hamilton has managed to claw back almost all of Nico's lead, but he's harder on his car/tyres than Rosberg and so unless we get another situation like this weekend where he has to retire due to an electrical/engine problem, Lewis is the more likely of the two to pick up a DNF which I feel is going to be the difference maker this season. Hamilton is arguably the faster racer but Rosberg has more race 'smarts' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 There's been a rumour today that Adrian Sutil will be replaced by Giedo Van Der Garde for the German Grand Prix and the rest of 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 There's been a rumour today that Adrian Sutil will be replaced by Giedo Van Der Garde for the German Grand Prix and the rest of 2014. That'd be interesting. Shame to see Sutil being the victim, but I'm sure Esteban brings in more cash and is a younger driver too. Giedo also has a plethora of sponsor deals and maybe they bring in more than Sutil now. And with the team having zero points, they need to try something to get that constructor cash.

MJB Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 He went from 9th to 2nd in Austria and 6th to 1st at Silverstone. However, 15th in Hockenheim could be a little too much for Lewis to make up. The podium looks unlikely so he just needs to get some decent points tomorrow and minimized the loss to Rosberg.

Chris2K Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 If/when Rosberg wins he will have got married, watched his country win the World Cup, and taken pole/won his home Grand Prix in the same week. Not a bad seven days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 If Hamilton gets second today and everyone lauds over what a comeback it was I'm going to be sufficiently pissed off. Oh yes, what a surprise that the driver in the car that's a second quicker than everyone else manages to recover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted July 25, 2014 Author Admin Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I can't remember if it was mentioned, but Mercedes has agreed to supply Lotus with Formula 1 engines from 2015 in a move that should help the team's current supplier Renault focus on Red Bull. Mexico will return to the Formula 1 calendar next season after a 23-year absence, organisers said on Wednesday. Having failed to get track updates ready in time to secure a slot this season, having featured on a provisional calendar, work has been ongoing to get everything ready for inclusion in the 2015 schedule. The event will take place at the 2.747-mile Mexico City circuit. Bernie was at the press conference in Mexico, so this one should definitely go ahead. Teams may agree to a 21-race calendar though, providing that they agree to a financial package with Ecclestone that makes it worth it for them. Azerbaijan has confirmed that it will host the European Grand Prix in 2016, after signing a deal with Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. Although there had been some hope of the race in Baku getting on to next season's schedule, event organisers announced on Friday that plans had been put back one year. Alexander Rossi has joined the Marussia Formula 1 team as reserve driver for the rest of the 2014 season. The 22-year-old parted company with Caterham earlier this month having been its F1 reserve as well as racing for its GP2 squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
