F1 2014 season kicks off.

A clumsy mistake. I think Toto's response said it all as did that of Nikki Lauda.

'NOT ACCEPTABLE'.

Also the commentray with Eddie Jordan and David Coultard was very interesting. Eddie putting up the arguement from a Team owners point of view and David argueing from a drivers point of view.

Yes they are racers and are paid to race, but lets look at that. They are paid, therefore employed to do a job and that is to make Mercedes look good.

'Conduct themselves in the best interest of Mercedes Benz'.

The time has come for the team to continue to allow them to race but to now set out some clear ground rules / penalties.

OR

Maybe the time has come to divide the pit garage. Crazy, not so much. Look at all the close wheel to wheel stuff that is going on with very little contact, as team mates maybe they are taking things the wrong way,

'He won't close on me as we're team mates'
'He won't chop my nose off because we're team mates'.

Either way it's making it a bit more interesting.

If I was team principle at MB I'd be ordering the pair of spanners to put some 16 oz gloves on and throw both their sorry asses into the ring, winner takes the #1 driver spot and the loser becomes the others brew bitch for the remainder of the season...job done!

To me it's almost like Lewis and Rosberg are trying to fabricate some sort of 21st century Senna/Prost comparisons, when in actual fact they come across more like dummy spitting Chuckle Brothers

I agree that nico`s move was bloody stupid!
Yes i get pissed off with Hamiltons constant moaning on the radio. But as we only get to hear what is broadcast could we not be missing out on hours of over paid lucky bastards moaning on their intercoms in every race that their cars are not quite right?
Nico and Lewis both need their heads banging together and to sort things out else Daniel will sneak up and grab the title right out from under them (Especially with the double points last race) and i for one will laugh my arse off.

Brew bitch

Come on, get running and get the Safety Car out of the way! Its time to race!

I don't see the point of the full wets if they always run under safety car conditions until it's time for inters?

Good race once it finally got going, shame it ended with a serious incident involving Bianchi.

I have spent the whole day feeling rather sad and not able to get Bianchis crash out of my head. It seems there has still been no updates on his condition. You know it must have been bad when firstly there was, and has been no broadcast footage of what exactly happened and secondly the fact that the Marussia team were not allowed into the medical room to see him.
I can only guess that he went under the back end of the teli-porter hence the serious head injuries?
As one of my favorite F1 drivers I genuinely hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Me too, keep checking for updates, some rather garbled reports coming in post surgery, some say he's breathing unaided, others not. There were a couple of pics on twitter of the car afterwards and the entire roll over structure is missing. Poor sod.

Yes i did see the pictures with Bianci still in the car (presume the same picture?) -Makes the blood run cold.

[maff]

Yeah same pic.

And I just found out Andrea de Cesaris was killed in a motor cycle crash near Rome, what a shitty day for F1
