I could be better than all of them but left it too late.
Just got back from a 40 birthday Karting Grand Prix where I came ahem... 1st.
Mrs GJ wont let me display my hard fought trophy on the mantelpiece though.

Vettel is a probably the best driver (at the moment), driving probably the best car (at the moment). Five years ago it was Alonso and ten years ago it was Schumacher.

I really think that the McLaren is faster overall. Lewis must wonder why he didn't have this car six months ago.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostThe only real way to judge how good Vettel is is how totally he has dominated Webber in qualifying AND races. It's not like We get Vettel/Webber 1/2 on the grid and at the flag... normally Webber seems to end 4th. Since Webber is regarded as at least pretty good, that tells you a lot... the RB car might not even be fastest now but Vettel is just crazy good.

Of course, I forgot, this is CUK.
Thinking about it - it was you on the M6 that time wasn't it?

Originally posted by Zippy View PostI think it'll be a 1-3 as Alonso is hard to get past (and fighting for second in the championship)
Don't get me started on the Sky thing. We should get some races on the BBC but they are not revealing which ones at the moment
The annoying thing is that it does feel a bit of a stitch-up on the part of the BBC. Five would have been quite happy to take on the contract if the BBC were struggling to meet the budget balance.
For the vast majority of the F1 viewing public, this would have been far preferable to only being able to see 10 races.

Originally posted by Zippy View PostSunday lunch in the pub. F1
I think you might be selling Vettel a bit short - he has improved a lot. I still reckon Alonso would win most of the time though, as he is utterly ruthless. Having said that the toys were flying out of the pram when Lewis was beating him.

Agree - if Alonso had the Red Bull car, he'd be further clear than Vettel on points.
