Well said. And yet people said Lewis went to Merc purely for the money :roll:

Apparently Lewis thinks he underperformed in 2013. I've been impressed with Lewis throughout the year. And Nico.

if they were running ultra conservative tires (such as bridgestones), would Mercedes gather more points or run for title this year rather than have some poor races due to tire wear?

I'm not sure what are you on there, coldtyre, but afaik, Ben Edwards have been BBC lead commentator for quite a while

BTW, Stef posted the image I alluded to during the race(amq55 had already posted it but pretty much everyone missed it).

Massa have only himself to blame for the penalty. That is as clear as a rule can get

PS: huge hips from Lee Mckanzie

The fisheye like lense isn't being kind to Lee that's for sure, she's much nicer on the eyes in person.

Ben has been Beeb commentator since 2012 :lol:

This appeared in Autosport.com's driver ratings for Brazil, it is referencing Max Chilton

Quote:
Brought the car home a distant last, which while a little disappointing did earn him the record for number of race finishes for a rookie. A slightly underwhelming end to a season in which Chilton did better than those who have taken against him on principle are willing to recognise.


I know the old cliche of "to finish first, first you have to finish" but Max has finished last of the runners in 12 out of 19 races and despite officially completing every race, he did so by finishing a total of 28 laps down.

Now I remember in 2001 when Jean Alesi was an accident with Kimi Raikkonen away from finishing every race that year. But he did so in an era where there was high rates of unreliability (as demonstrated in his accident with Kimi), plus he was competing for points (top 6 back then remember) driving for both Prost and Jordan. Now that is a feat.

Seriously though, what I am supposed to be "willing to recognise"? I'm happy for Marussia and John Booth's team, but I find it hard to accept an average to poor pay driver in F1 celebrating this milestone. To me, it is rather empty.

Can't wait for the special edition Surrey Mirror this week, celebrating it as well.

There always has to be someone coming last, but seriously, that's one record I'd not go about shouting about.
