The Green agenda is driven by Paranoia

Rikblak @Rikblak (26) 13 Sep 08

The current Green agenda is in my view one that is being driven by panic, based on the false premis that global warming is entirely the result of mans activities rather than what it is. Global warming is a fact, it is also...

Rikblak Sorry to hear you restrained yourself, even without Michael there have been some excellent races this year.

Rikblak Apparently he will be testing this years car next week, without any electronic driver aids to help the development of next years car. 2008 will see the end of traction control in F1. There has been no announcements as to whether he will be testing further.

Rikblak Michael is on record as saying that he doesn't think that he could work with Ron Dennis, but he made those comments back in 2006. If he still feels the same way then it wont happen. If it did then we would see how good Hamilton really is.

Dont Leave Alonso

Rikblak It's confirmed, Alonso is indeed leaving McLaren, I can't say I am surprised. The interesting rumour (and there are many) is that as part of the severance deal, he may not race for a manufacturer based team next year which means he will not be able to go...

Ralf Schumacher

Rikblak @Rikblak (26) 27 Oct 07

Ralf Schumacher has driven his last race for Toyota, the question is, will it be his last race in F1? Do you think Ralf will get a seat for 2008 or will he hang up his driving gloves? Maybe he will go and race in another...

Rikblak Ralf's F1 career has often seemed to be a tale of potential unfulfilled doesn't it?

Rikblak Reading about his behaviour in a recent photo shoot for F1 magazine I'm not sure Ralf even has the marketing skills of his brother.

Michael Schumacher - How many of you know this incident?

jayarajgr @jayarajgr (816) • India 21 Jan 07

The year was 1997. The last race of the year was in Jerez. Two drivers were in close contention for the championship. Michael Schumacher with 78 points and Jack Villenueve with 77 points. Villanueve had to finish ahead of Schumi...

Rikblak I remember it well, I believe I am right in saying that this race was also Mika Hakkinens first race win. As for the incident itself it was nothing new in F1 indeed Schumacher did something similar in 1994 in Australia to Damon Hill. That time he won the...

Hamilton pushed the wrong button

steerforth @steerforth (1797) • Italy 23 Oct 07

I have heard on the news on tv that Hamilton said that he made a mistake during the grand prix of Brasil: he pushed the wrong button and the car could not go away, so there was not a problem to the car but he did a mistake. What...

Rikblak McLaren themselves have said that he didn't push any wrong buttons. I think that Martin Brundle probably got it right in his commentary when he said the most likely cause is that going over some of the big bumps on this circuit knocked something offline, which...

Sports Commentators howlers!

Rikblak I like it! Reminds me of John Motson's classic, it's a once in a lifetime event, and you don't get many of those.

As a result of this shame 2007 championship, after 5 hours of discussion at the end of the race saying Kimi was the winner, it's now ufficial: Kimi is the 2007 winner driver's championshit. Why a shame? Well, just to analayse...

Rikblak I think on the whole Lewis has done a stunning job this year but the championship was more his to lose than for the others to win. He was robbed of the title by a combination of his mistakes which are excusable for a rookie, and his teams mistakes, such as...

Rikblak I heard a radio interview with Jackie Stewart the other day, he criticised no one and spoke nothing but sense. He had some real insight to offer on the seaon finale, he was brilliant.

Bernard Cornwell has said that Obadiah was one of his favourite characters, and he regrets having killed him off. Apart from Sharpe himself who was your favourite character and why?
