Hungary '86, one of the best overtaking of history (Piquet vs Senna)

I was there the following year when Nigel absolutely destroyed Piquet in the race (as he did all season) only for his wheel nut to fall off

No doubt another Vettel walkover tomorrow, but at least pole and out-qualifying his teammate is a crumb of comfort...unlike Messrs Button and Di Resta

No idea but I since I do not care either way I suppose it is of no importance what I think. So there really is no need for me to post here. So just ignore this post and it will be as if I didn't post here at all.

All along I was dreaming of Raikkonen going to RBR, and to show Vettel who's boss. But this was to be expected - Raikkonen is a racer, and neither a PR guy nor a "racing politician" like so many drivers in F1. Some sort of an endangered species...

Btw I am a Mark Webber fan...

Mark Webber will be sorely missed - a straightforward guy and a hard (but perfectly fair) racer.

Ricciardo will be eaten alive by Vettel I'm afraid....

Let's agree on "most of the time" a perfectly fair racer

He too did his share of fouls on the curcuit which were at times close to, and at times outright dangerous to the opponent driver involved - remember this year in Sepang where he nearly forced Vettel to hit the wall. At that race I realized what sort of character Vettel is -and my sympathy to RBR went to rock bottom.

Webber's main weakness are/were the starts. He sucks at that.

Well (as a Webber fan) I bow to your greater knowledge, but I cannot recall him playing dirty in his many recent battles with Lewis, Fernando and Kimi (Hungary this year being an ideal case in point).

Frankly, anything he dishes out to Vettel in the dirty tricks dept is okay with me considering the way he has been treated by Vettel and RBR.

Sadly this year looks like another Vettel victory.....

First up, the mean and purposeful looking Lotus 79 that took Mario Andretti to the F1 World Championship in 1978:

Hi sir. No, I have not. I think the last movie I caught was the Star Trek movie which has been a couple of months. I plan on it, although, no friends of mine really like F1. I'll probably have to watch it by myself. No worries, I have done that for not a few movies, like Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Scalextric did a superb model of this in the early 80's. Great memories.
