Admin Lineker Posted August 22, 2014 Author Admin Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone has said he wants to run the sport for "as long as I can" after paying £60m to end his three-month bribery trial. In his first major interview since he avoided a possible 10-year prison sentence, Ecclestone, 83, said he always believed he would walk away a free man. "I'm not scared of anything to be honest with you," he said. "It never bothered me because I knew I was innocent." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugobomb Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 It's throwing it down at Spa, hopefully Marussia take advantage of this and make it into Q2, maybe even Q£ (they weren't that far off doing that last it rained in qualifying if I remember right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsuya Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 It's impossible to dislike Ricciardo. Surely if Alonso was at Red bull last night it's because they're looking at getting rid of Seb? No idea where he'd go or if there's something already agreed we don't know about... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsuya Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'd love it if somehow he won the title. It's not out of the realms of possibility either, he just has to get to within 50 points by Abu Dhabi and then anything can happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 That would be the best thing. If the Mercs just spiral out of control into an all out war, and Ric just sorta strolls through and wins it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Lineker Posted August 29, 2014 Author Admin Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg will remain free to race in their battle for 2014 Formula 1 title glory, following key talks at the Mercedes factory on Friday. The duo were summoned to a meeting with Mercedes chiefs Toto Wolff and Paddy Lowe to discuss the fallout of their collision at the Belgian Grand Prix last weekend. In a statement issued by the team afterwards, Mercedes made it clear that it would not be imposing team orders to avoid a repeat scenario. Instead, the team's policy of allowing Rosberg and Hamilton to battle it out would remain - although further collisions would not be tolerated. Furthermore, it emerged that Rosberg accepted blame for the crash with Hamilton, and apologised. The team has also taken unspecified disciplinary action against the German. The full statement said: "Toto Wolff, Paddy Lowe, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton met today in the boardroom of Mercedes AMG Petronas headquarters in Brackley to discuss the events of the Belgian Grand Prix. "During this meeting, Nico acknowledged his responsibility for the contact that occurred on lap two of the Belgian Grand Prix and apologised for this error of judgement. "Suitable disciplinary measures have been taken for the incident. "Mercedes-Benz remains committed to hard, fair racing because this is the right way to win world championships. It is good for the team, for the fans and for Formula 1. "Lewis and Nico understand and accept the team's number one rule: there must be no contact between the team's cars on track. "It has been made clear that another such incident will not be tolerated. But Nico and Lewis are our drivers and we believe in them. "They remain free to race for the 2014 FIA Formula 1 World Championship." Rosberg is 29 points clear of Hamilton in the drivers' championship standings, ahead of next week's Italian Grand Prix.
