No he was. He told me to go put my tinfoil hat on....(usual Lewis hater response)

Then another guy told me in a most patronising manner that he needed to educate me on Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button...then produced a load of stats. (proving how good they were) I responded that I didnt need educating thanks very much as I had been following F1 since the days of Stirling Moss.

He then got panned by a load of others and he apologised....Rolleys

Lot of misogyny in F1 ...from some...

I would get bored but one of Red Bull's ex-engineers is a member of the forum ...(no BS he is) and he posts some clever stuff

FIA should be providing them all the same sealed engines like other race series do.

Ferrari had to abandon Pirelli wet tyre testing yesterday

The opening day of what was supposed to be a two-day test to evaluate Pirelli's 2017 wider rain rubber was cut short after Vettel crashed into the barriers on Thursday.

Video footage of the incident showed he ran off the artificially-soaked track on the shallow left-hand kink after the bridge crossing – hitting the barriers head on. Had a few bruises and hurt his elbow apparently"

Only video currently available taken by a fan...
