2016 Formula 1 Season Paddock

No. We have had one driver die in 21 years due to his own unfortunate mistake and the halo would not have saved him. F1 isn't that dangerous anymore.

1 in 21 years is not at all the same as multiple drivers per year. Not at all.

 

Thats just stupid talk

 

Bernie hints at bankrolling an alternate F1 engine .

I'd love it unless the rowdies return and ruin it again. Don't a repeat of the bog.

 

Mercedes let Rosberg and Hamilton of the leash to battle each other in 2016

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/mar/11/mercedes-lewis-hamilton-nico-roseberg-f1

 

Great for Rosburg, but isn't that a little bit of a slap in the face to Hamilton being team leader

 

Mercedes has no #1 driver , they have both had the same opportunities and there is a clear pit stop strategy that is dependent on race position , not driver name

 

Are they not calling him the team leader anymore ?

 

I don't think they ever were

 

Have we been watching the same races for years and years. There's been team orders for years and when they supposedly weren't allowed to do it anymore, they just got more creative at it. you've seen it as much as I have.

 

Not sure what that has to do with whether Mercedes has referred to Hamilton as their #1 driver or not but yes there have always been team orders but in Mercedes' case since Hamilton and Rosberg have been team mates they have given both drivers equal strategy and first to pit is not defined by a pre-determined #1 / #2 driver arrangement but by whichever car leads of the two at the first pit stop window

 

He may be their #1 driver, but he's a #2 of a person

 

The derp is spreading to here now? Is no place sacred???

"
She hit the headlines after going public with newly single Jenson Button.

But model Brittny Ward is grabbing attention in her own right thanks to racy new modelling shots.

The brunette beauty has shared a series of sultry new snaps with her Instagram followers, which has been boosted since she was linked to Jenson. "

Jenson and 31-year-old Jessica, who tied the knot in a lavish Hawaiian ceremony at the end of 2014, split in December 2015 after just one year of marriage. They remained on good terms despite calling time on their relationship.

A spokesperson for the former F1 World Champion told MailOnline in December: '(They) have decided to go their separate ways and it is very amicable. There is no one else involved.'

Jenson was honest about the couple's separate lives ahead of the split, telling the Mail On Sunday last September: ‘We don’t see each other any more than before we were married.'"

 

He was married to Jessica Michibata, but he's a playboy and doesn't really attach to people. I think he only married her because his dad actually liked her and supported her, which was a first.

 

I see a listing for "Haas F1: America's Return to the Grid" on NBC Sports at 10:30pm Central time on Wednesday....
