It was a snoozer for sure. It's a shame, because Despite Mercedes dominance, it's been a great season, IMO.
The only interesting thing was Rosberg's return to P2 and running 1 set of tires for the whole race. It takes away from Hamilton's 2 miraculous come from behind races a bit. The damn car is just that good. The best thing that could happen in the last races would be to see Bottas win a GP, for me. I like the kid. On and off the track, he impresses me as a confident, competent guy. He seems like he's been in F1 for 10 years. Ricciardo impresses me in the same way. They appear to be the future of F1, provided they are in good rides, of course. Another general observation on F1: I agree with Steve Matchett, the radio rules and the fuel rules are counter to what F1 has always been and should always be about.

My vote for next race...
Put the two slowest drivers (Kobiashi and Chilton) in the Mercs next race. I bet it's still a 1-2 lockout if they manage to not crash. I don't know why Merc are even bothering to pay Ham or Rosberg at this point...the damn car could win races by itself... it makes last year's Red Bull domination look almost fair by comparison.. RBR only had one car that could pull out a 30 second gap on the whole field. |

Update released on Jules Bianchi.
Yokkaichi, Japan
14 October 2014, 00.00hrs local/16.00hrs BST At the request of the family of Jules Bianchi, and in conjunction with the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi, the Marussia F1 Team is able to provide the following information regarding Jules’ medical condition: The past nine days have been extremely difficult for Jules and his family. As a consequence of the accident at Suzuka, a number of medical challenges have needed to be overcome and the situation remains challenging due to the diffuse axonal traumatic brain injury Jules has sustained. Jules remains in a critical but stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit of Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi. The Bianchi family continue to be comforted by the thoughts and prayers of Jules’ many fans and the motor sport community. In particular, the many demonstrations of support and affection during the course of the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi were of enormous comfort to Jules’ parents and the relatives and friends also present at the hospital. The family will provide further medical updates when appropriate. Read more at http://www.marussiaf1team.com/news/1042/#u0ywHlByF1DvVOFB.99 |

Quote HistoryI agree with Vettel. F1, "the pinnacle of motorsport" where the main goal is to skip qualifying and preserve fuel. They should just switch to bicycle races, Alonso would probably dominate that as well. |

If Vettel didn't mind burning bridges he'd be exceptionally dangerous right now.
....To Mock the FIA he could run the crap out of what engine he's given ignoring all fuel consumption warnings and park it when he runs out. ....He could Rosberg a Williams or two to benefit his future employer. sure there's other mischievous things as well |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm surprised ROS kept it together. he seems to get frazzled easy. He makes rookie mistakes but I remember when he was a rookie, he ran one HELL of a race for BMW Sauber, they told him "We want 30 qualifying laps" and he gave them 30 qaulifying laps during the race. He just needs to learn to be a little more ruthless like his teammate. He's your typical above average F1 driver, he's just as good as Ham, Kimi, or Seb if you put him in the right car, as has been shown this season.. he just needs to stop being nice. I'm still upset that he took Merc's punishment for Spa.. he should have walked out of that meeting and told the media exactly what they did to him because he wrecked Bitchy McBitchington's race by not accepting getting the door slammed in his face. |

Fernando Alonso is leaving Ferrari at the end of this season, the company's former president Luca Di Montezemolo has confirmed. Alonso's departure is an open secret in Formula 1 but the team have not yet announced it, nor their decision to replace him with Sebastian Vettel. Di Montezemolo told Italian television: "Fernando is leaving for two reasons. "One, he wants another environment. Two, because he is an age when he cannot wait to win again." |

If Audi returns, and they want to return to the turbo 4, I'd say it's time to open engine development to "run what you brung," and allow refueling again. Granted we haven't had one this year, but I'm curious as to the number of incidents of tires coming off the axle before refueling was banned vs after refueling was banned. Dumping fuel in slows down the pit stop and the tire guys can make sure they do their job properly. |

Sorry, but pitlane refueling scares the hell out of me, especially with the electrical power that these cars can carry now. Go back to 2012, and see what a faulty KERS system did to Williams' garage in Spain, then think about that happening in the middle of a pit lane, during the race. It's a pretty damn scary thought to someone that has worked on a race crew. I think the fueling ban is about the only rule they've had in the last 10 that makes sense. Would like to see Audi on the side of a Redbull.. F1 needs more competition in areas besides the drivers and teams... more engine and tire manufacturers can only improve things...IF the FIA backs off on the technology freezes. |

I think the refueling ban is ridiculous. It allows a lot more strategy and makes the race more exciting. The races have become so predictable now. Indycar, Nascar, V8 Supercars, USCC, WEC, ADAC, BTCC, and DTM all allow refueling. But the "pinnacle" of motorsport? Nope, "too dangerous."

The FIA isn't likely to bring back refueling due to the insurance expense. A lot of the newer venues complained about that.
It also cost big $$$ to transport that gear to the flyaway races. It's a side consequence of filling the schedule with races run on shake-and-bake circuits in dodgy countries.

Well, looks like Marussia isn't coming to Austin either Guess since Caterham has folded, they don't have anyone to compete against now, and they are just going to save for next season. So that's right folks 18 cars at Austin, and Alexander Rossi gets screwed out of another chance at a drive
http://i.imgur.com/fhuAGag.png Even with backmarkers I don't like to see teams or drivers miss races. Both Marussia and Caterham are DOA and won't return unless someone steps up and buys them. It is a real possibility that Red Bull and Ferrari will run 3 cars next year. McLaren is trying to figure out the finances (them or Bernie paying). If they back out, Mercedes is next in line for the option. I have no idea how they will handle points,etc. Crisis time in F1. (Lotus and Sauber are also shaky) |
