The new season has started

Oh crap! That Macca guys are fast!! And that baby-Seb too!

But despite the showing of these two rivals, I have to say. Don't be afraid of McLaren and RedBull. We are the best, just wait to see how the season unfolds.

We have the best couple of drivers on the world, Fernando and Felipe are much better than anyone else. Our technical team is much better too!

I have to leave now because of the Unions I had to close our five FIAT factories. But I will be around to discuss what you need to know about the automobile industry.

And remember, buy Italian!

Hi!

The 'Macs' are beautiful and quick.
Your F2012 is slow and ugly. The fact that it got your nose doesn't help either.

So, enjoy your 2012 season point of view…

As for the unions, you might shut down the whole thing altogether. Nobody buys italians anymore, and your company is so dumb that is selling an Europe-only 500 America limited edition. A tribute to the launch of the 500 in the United States you say, but it is not selling there, had this 500 America be headed to the States you could have moved 100 units.

I guess your marketing team advised you that there has to be at least 500 young Americans girls living in Europe who would buy this and you just gave the OK.

You ruined the beautiful Chrysler Grand Voyager, now selling as Lancia Voyager cause it is not a 'grande' anymore. You have no taste and it shows.

"I had won you, mother****er."

What a farce. Sergio Pérez should have easily won the race if he was not told to keep his position.

Just went both guys met after having stepped out of the car you can hear Sergio telling Fernando 'te hubiese ganado cabrón', "I had won you, mother****er" So yeah, another classy Ferrari win.

is not · Mar 25, 2012, 01:35 PM

It happened again. The Sauber Team tell Perez that they need their position. Why? Because they can't upset their engine supplier, the red shits.

I don't think that after such masterful driving, Perez would make such a simple mistake, and so soon after the communication from the team too.

And Perez,
he will be at Ferrari next year, Massa is useless.

LucaDiMontezemolo · Mar 25, 2012, 01:57 PM

Hello Ferrari fans,

We won.

And remember buy Italian, and smoke Marlboro!!

Take some anger management classes. It's the way F1 works. Better stick to NASCAR.

Sergio may be in the Red Sled before next season. And yes, being hit in the head with a spring at 280kph fracturing your eye socket, almost costing you your eye sight has effected Massa. Credit Ferrari for giving him a chance to try again.

I'm sure if you were in his seat you would make that millisecond flick to the right causing the spring to fly harmlessly past.

What an utterly nonsense. Did I say you shouldn't enjoy your team's victory.?

Did you follow the race.? Did you understand that there was no brake at all, no weird change of direction from Sergio, just going a bit long at the right place so he would not 'compromise' his chances to remain 2nd and at the same time allowing Fernando to recover a gap enough to end the race as 1st.? Heck, Sergio wouldn't even need to rely on the DRS to overtake Alonso as his Sauber was clearly faster than Fernando's car on straight line.

No matter the brilliant race Fernando drove, in the end Sergio was not allowed to overtake him. Hence his anger words towards Fernando. That Sergio should have addressed those words towards his team is another history, hardly my fault.

It's the way F1 works.

See, even you admit it. I am familiar with F1 politics. If you think it is OK winning at the expense of the competitiveness of F1, at the expense of the fairness of F1, at the expense of the sport of Formula 1, well, it just show a lack of sportiveness, winning no matter the cost.

Better stick to NASCAR.

Sorry but I don't see the appeal, maybe cause I am european and have been following F1 for a quarter-century.

Credit Ferrari for giving him a chance to try again.

No need to justify Massa's performance or Ferrari giving him another chance, a 1st and 2nd driver is the ideal scenario for them. All of Fernando's team-mates but one have been average F1 drivers… at best. World class team mates upset him, as history probes.

Yes. Until you see Shumi 2 spots back. I think Schumacher is going to be the story of 2012. Number 8 could happen.

So, which one is more boring, the Bahrain Circuit or getting Vettel back on pole.?

d4nth3m4n · Apr 21, 2012, 09:55 AM

Them protests sure ain't boring.

This weekend has the potential to be a mistake of biblical proportions. I can't stop watching and reading.

Suspicions have been aroused in the Formula 1 paddock after Bernie Ecclestone’s FOM television failed to show a single full frame of a Force India car during the qualifying broadcast for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

After several weeks of bickering as to whether or not the sport should be travelling to Bahrain amid the ongoing civil unrest, four Force India mechanics found themselves caught up in a protest when travelling from the circuit to their hotel on Wednesday night. Fearful of safety, Deputy Team Principal Bob Fernley confirmed on Friday that the team would skip second practice to ensure that all staff returned to capital city Manama before nightfall, despite an offer from Ecclestone of a police escort.

As Force India’s decision generated much press coverage even outside of Formula 1, many inside the sport and fans across the internet are now convinced that their cars were not shown in qualifying because of an order from Ecclestone. FOM (Formula One Management) is responsible for the world TV feed, which is used by global broadcasters of the sport and cannot be replaced by independent directors.

The only brief sight of a Force India during qualifying was when Mark Webber, watched from his on-board camera, shot past Paul di Resta in the closing moments.

The computer hacking group Anonymous has successfully taken down the Web site of Formula One with a Distributed Denial Of Service attack.

It could be just the tip of the iceberg for Anonymous as the group has pledged to “wreck anything else of yours we can find on the internet.”

Anonymous is calling for drivers to boycott this weekend’s race.

Lets see?

Shumi's drive from 26th to 10th?

Fernando almost being sent into the wall from Kimi not understanding the rule that once you make your move you don't get a 2nd, and 3rd flick of the wrist?

Oh, and Seb mastering tire degradation the last 10 laps. So unlike Kimi in China. Not that Seb was better, but he learned.

Wait for Spain. There will be no stopping Seb after the break.

Nico Rosberg has escaped any sanction for the on-track moment during the Bahrain Grand Prix when he appeared to push Lewis Hamilton off the track

angelmb · Apr 22, 2012, 01:59 PM

Shumi's drive from 26th to 10th?

Yeah, not bad considering where he started the race, albeit I am not sure Schumi should be thrilled by getting one point which to be honest, he got courtesy of Button's puncture.

Fernando almost being sent into the wall from Kimi not understanding the rule that once you make your move you don't get a 2nd, and 3rd flick of the wrist?

I think you mean Nico and not Kimi. And that was his second this race, it is just that Hamilton didn't shake his fist in the air as Alonso did hence getting more TV time.

Oh, and Seb mastering tire degradation the last 10 laps. So unlike Kimi in China. Not that Seb was better, but he learned.

Same goes for Kimi.

Wait for Spain. There will be no stopping Seb after the break.

I sincerely hope that is not the case. We don't need another snoozerfest.

Don't forget that in 2006 (?) RAI drove from last to the podium on this track on a McLaren that that season didn't won a single race. SCHU has a car capable of winning. -as showed on China- I would like SCHU would be able to win a race this season.

I think so it must be ROS, I can not recall that action. What is more, ALO finished almost a minute down to RAI, so not much to complain.

Same goes for Kimi.

He drove over carefully after that last race

Pirelli says it is surprised at accusations from Michael Schumacher that the current generation of tyres are not allowing drivers to push their cars to the limit.

Fight!

Well, that was indeed my reasoning behind it… It is not the same thing to fight the cars that ended 11th to last, than fighting those Kimi fought.

As for Schumi winning a race, next stops are Barcelona and Monaco, so who knows…

Pirelli says it is surprised at accusations from Michael Schumacher that the current generation of tyres are not allowing drivers to push their cars to the limit.

Goes without saying I trust Michael more than Pirelli.

HA! The bridgestones were a joke, (on the sense that) they were specially tailored for SCHU to the point that other teams using bridgestones were not allowed to look at the ferrari tyres!

Michael Schumacher has publically criticised Pirelli for the second time, comparing the Formula 1 tyres with ‘raw eggs’ and stating that drivers should be able to attack the race track instead of adopting a conservative approach. This follows a similar outburst after the Bahrain Grand Prix a fortnight ago.

angelmb · May 9, 2012, 02:41 AM

Well said, Michael. It is dumb enough to have the top drivers of the world taking care of below-standard F1 tyres lap after lap when they should be battling one each other race after race to conquer the Grand Prix crow.

Pirelli is going down in history as the worst F1 tyre supplier ever.

angelmb · May 12, 2012, 03:19 PM

So after an astonishing pole and a later sanction that falls on the excessive side, the dumb spanish people and media can rejoice, having fun with unlucky Lewis.

"The negro can go f*ck himself."

Spain is such a dumb and racist country.

Celebrations of Pastor Maldonado’s victory have been dramatically affected by a fire in the Williams garage at the Circuit de Catalunya. Track officials are now attempting to evacuate the pit lane as emergency services rush into the Montmeló track. The reason for the blaze is believed to be a KERS explosion and at least one person has been taken to hospital.

angelmb · May 13, 2012, 12:03 PM

That cop needs to get in shape.

Congrats to Maldonado, and Williams. So, no driver has been able to repeat victory so far this season, I bet on Hamilton to win Monaco GP.

Michael Schumacher will lose five places on the starting grid for the Monaco Grand Prix after his crash with Bruno Senna in Spain.

Williams with a win!! Will it stop Frank from looking in the mirror every morning wondering why they welded the crack in Ayrton's Steering Shaft, instead of replacing it? Probably not.
