Interesting comparison of points scored for the team between teammates, this is without double points.

Vergne and Kvyat stat makes Kvyat's move to RB seem slightly silly.

That was my thinking, quite a gap between them. Guess RB have seen something we haven't.

EJ just predicted Ross Brawn to bring VAG into F1 in 2017, seemed to be jabbering on about rule changes or something too ?

Ted pointing out that Jenson's 5th place has saved McLaren from losing 10's of millions of pounds in TV money by retaining their position in the WDC.

Thanks Ted, this is what I've been repeating.

Joe Saward is saying he heard rumours of VAG buying Ferrari. So it's possible

AIUI VAG are interested if the rules stay as they are - if they change to make the power units cheaper (by using spec ERS gubbins) they might not be.

Running a bit behind on catch up but the BBC montage was very disappointing this year.

Yep, agreed. As was last year's. As a previous poster has said, 2012 was the high point.

Hope Bernie knows this team now celebrating both championships was at the back of the grid in 2008....


Back of the grid teams need a chance to survive.

I wish! iPad m1, part of the reason I hate apple products because I haven't bought the new kit I don't get the software and therefore no apps or the browser work properly.... Very happy with my Galaxy S5 though

Abu Dhabi looks a nice place for a party!

Off Fiat? They already have Lamborghini, Bugatti and Porsche. Are they just gonna buy everything?

Ahh maybe that is what EJ was trying to say.

And that same team won both Championships the following year so it's kind of a mute point you're making there.

I might be completely out of touch, but how do you know that........

Just for the record, the word you're looking for is "moot".

Wait... I thought the coverage had finished?

Edit: Oh! Seems they extended the coverage. I switched off when the adverts started at the time the show was due to end. Looks like it wasn't over. Damn.

Because the senior management bought it and invested in it, these new teams don't even get a chance to run properly let alone get out of the back.

I wonder if Lewis can still say Worcestershire sauce

Imagine what Ferdinand, Ferrucio and Enzo would think about it if they knew!

JoeSaward said:

There is clearly potential for this story to be an attempt to destabilise Ferrari, not simply in racing terms but also politically, which is not what Ferrari needs as it looks ahead to a stock market flotation. It might also be linked to rumours that the German auto giant Volkswagen is keen to take over Ferrari, which would help the Fiat group to reduce its debt incurred during the purchase of Chrysler.

Makes sense if Fiat is flogging.

Sounds quite English at the moment to be fair to him.
