F1 Thread

I see Grosjean won the Race of Champions this weekend, beating some big names too, including Vettle in the quarter finals then Schumacher in the semis, then in the final he beat 8 time Le Mans champion Tom Kristensen.

Shows that Grosjean does have a hell of a lot of skill, we have all seen this season his speed is good, just needs to calm down the first couple of laps and think he could be a real prospect.

As for Vettle, well, 7 years in a row he has competed and not once has he made the final. Lucky for him he has a awesome RedBull car to race in for F1. No surprise though to see Vettle and Schumacher win the nations cup for the 6th time in a row, more down to Schumacher

But why would you take a bit of fun as serious as F1? He's world champion again and has nothing to prove unlike Grosjean

As if these guys aren't competitive with each other when in any kind of competition.

Of course they are, but why would a world champ give it 130% risking a crash and injuring himself for the 2013 championship?

Shame Kobayashi has no drive for next year. Even raised over £6 million but still no takers

Suzi Perry to replace Jake on the BBC! Cue some serious flirting from DC!

At least there will be something nice to look at on race weekend.

So the BBC have dropped Monaco , Singapore, Korea and Abu Dhabi from their live picks next season, we get these races live on the BBC ;


China, 14 April
Spain, 12 May
Canada, 9 June
Silverstone, 30 June
Belgium, 25 August
Italy, 8 September
Japan, 13 October
India, 27 October
Brazil, 24 November

Good to see Canada and Japan back though. They are taking a huge risk though taking Abu Dhabi out as there is a good chance the world championship can be won in either the USA GP or Abu Dhabi one.
