Definitely can't forget the pass Alonso put on Vettel to put him ahead in the first place, on lap 35 at Copse.

Pretty sure I saw it on Scarbs' twitter before the first race.

Banning traction control in F1, this single handedly means that driving talent is key to being a successful driver, you try playing gt6 with traction control off.

Fernando Alonso always says that the fastest driver he has ever driven against is Kubica.

Disagree with author, agree with Mansell.

F1 is supposed to be about driver skill, not body type. I understand that there are certain fitness requirements to drive in F1, but those requirements are can be met by any driver through proper training and conditioning. The fact that one driver is 3" taller than another,…

I disagree. I think it's easy to trivialize something like this, as you do very aptly, if you look at the surface of the implications but not the substance... Sure, you don't want to dumb down sports to make them easier, but since that has nothing at all to do with this issue, let's move on.

Your argument is weak. Basketball, by its design, favors taller people because the 10 ft. height of the rim is part of the rules. Swimming and running are sports that obviously favor aerobically gifted people. That's in the nature of these sports!

They sound OK, but with the rev limiters, they end up being... quite dull. You feel the limit imposed by the rules and not by physics killing the sound.

Yeahhh. THATS the stuff!

This one:

My god that Honda sounds amazing..

It's not possible that Vettel is 32 seconds worth of a better driver than the rest of the field over that short period of time post-safety car, so whatever the actual explanation is... traction control is far more likely.

Should be noted that Prince wrote Sinead's music, which is what sounds so good underneath!

If the RR driver reasonably believed himself and his family to be in danger - and let's face it, being surrounded by 100 bikers kicking your vehicle is likely to qualify - then I'd say he's right to extract himself from the situation post-haste. I doubt any charges will be pending for him. On a jury trial, he gets…

"Running over bike riders is in no way justifiable" - I respectfully disagree.

Disclaimer - I rarely watch Indycar and don't have any team allegiances. This is the first televised race I've watched this season after picking up NBCSports earlier this week.

Gonna have to vehemently disagree with you. The NBC crew was absolutely right about this one. I hate to see things like this happen, but the…
