I wouldn't classify what Webber lived in Red Bull as BS. Granted, he had to see how the team favored his team mate, but that's the nature of the sport. You can very rarely see two number ones, much less when one is widely considered to be much better than you

No one enjoys being the number two, but he still got a chance in the one of the best teams, with one of the best cars and an excellent paycheck. As much as he protested, he got a chance reserved for the very best, and his results were never on par.

I can understand him not being happy with what he got (as I said previously, that's each person's right), but believing the situation is as simple and two dimensional as he being a common man hero while Red Bull (again, the team that gave him one of the fastest cars on the grid and paid him millions to drive it) the evil empire who would do everything to stop him is buying into a caricature of the reality. It is very easy to buy into the media circus, but the world is not simply divided in just heroes and villains.

It would be pretty cool to see Raikkonen in Red Bull, would be something special, no doubt. Though I'm not sure if Vettel would let that happen, despite both being good friends.

If it's not Raikkonen, I hope it's not Ricciardo or Vernge, I find both unimpressive, borderline boring. I'd rather have Sutil or Di Resta, even if that's looking away from home.

Edit: Oops, meant unimpressive, not impressive.

I hope we have a great race, since I'll be there :D

I'm hoping for a Vettel win, who's slowly becoming my prefered driver.

1. Silverstone 1991, the emotions! :'D Big fan of Mansell here.

2. We'll see a bigger female influence in everything, but motorsport (and engineering) will always be mostly male territory. 

3. Both. Of course the team situation affected his decision. He never fitted in after the team started working mostly around Vettel. Which is perfectly understandable considering Vettel is one if not the best driver at the moment. And evenif you feel like arguing that, he's still a world champion (a triple world champion, actually), of course the team would favor him over a relatively unsuccessful Webber. That's something that Webber never really got along with (which is his right) so it was time to leave.

4. It will be very difficult for Hamilton to build  a career comparable to any of the greats. He's a great driver, but the competiton is too fierce. Though, considering the advances of Mercedes this year (they have a ridiculously fast car), nothing can be ruled out.

5. No comments here.

Not surprising at all he's leaving RB, though I didn't expect him to leave F1.

He never really felt at home at RB after Vettel started to drastically outmatch him.

Good for him, he's mostly nice guy, and, despite not being nowhere close to the best ones, he's still a fairly competent driver.

Though I'm way more interested in who will replace him than what he'll be doing next.

That "rumor" sounds more like click-bait than something remotely reasonable.

First, Mercedes had some arguments to defend themselves against a bigger sanction (they had Whiting's aproval, it was a Pirelli test, not completely private), etc.

Secondly, it would be very silly from Red-Bull, that lead both championships with a confortable distance, to risk a sanction, of any kind, because of whatever happens to a team that's not even their main competitor at the moment?

Nothing official yet, besides a very sweet-looking Prague street circuit.

Good thing that you'll also be able to play 99% of the games released next gen!

Btw, GS needs new emoticons, these ones are horrible.

I told you it wouldn't be a big deal. Does the "reprimand" include a fine? Because if not, it was even less than what I expected.

They basically gave Mercedes a fun slap in the bum and sent them on their way :lol:

In my very humble opinion, it was basically the only truly amazing thing announced for next gen systems. It's not perfect (still no night racing and no weather effects, no F1) but I expect it (like Forza 3 and 4) to be way ahead of the curve once more. And it does look bloody great.
