Alonso will not have any trouble with Kimi.

In the standings or in the pits?

[mcr_driver]

it'll be interesting seeing how iceman and alonso mesh in 14'. I can see it going badly or uneventful provided they stay out lf each others way and just compete. But i predict two wdc's will repeat a prost senna situation.

I would really hate to see Massa outperformed by Ro Gro

[mcr_driver]

I hope whatever team Massa lands on he gets his nerve back.

Another great drive by Hulk in Singapore. Both Ferrari and RBR should have signed him. I really hope he gets a competitive seat next year, but I doubt any proven driver wants to be his teammate.

With the major design challenges, I really wonder how competitive Lotus will be in 2014.

Rush is looking like it might convert many young NASCAR followers, and more.
NJGP! I will be there!

It is getting harder for me to tell real F1 news from spoof F1 news.

Ridiculous. Weber can do no right. He is the black sheep. .. At the end of the race tbeir was a shot of newey and horner..... it almost looked like they were laughing about weber being on fire.

"Well done seb.. oh lookie their mark is having a bar-be on turn 8 hehehe".

so who is planning to go to the NJ race? It was listed as provisional on the 2014 calendar. Now if we could just get a US driver in there...

Upon reflection I can't say it was not a bit dangerous but still, come on. I've decided that although I prefer Grand Prix and Sports car racing much more, NASCAR is a better sanctioning body.

These guys trust each other at 280kph mere inches from one another, but it's unsafe on a 60kph cool down lap? Yes I've seen the vid, and yes Alonso could have parked in a better spot, but please.

I saw a video highlighting the unbelievably quick reaction skills of a formula one driver. It highlighted Hamilton reacting from a mid corner oversteer at speed in about 2 milliseconds. I'm pretty sure he had enough time to react at 1/4 the speed... Oh wait, he did just that!

Interesting article on the Ecclestone autocracy.

Indeed, I'd still preggo both of his daughters if given the chance and get in on that honey pot...

[mcr_driver]

So is the season really over or is there still a chance for an upset? Even If vettel doesn't go 5 in a row with japan he's still on the precipice for title #4.
