Mazpin needs to go home and do his patriotic duty. Maybe the Vatnik can drive a tank better than he can drive an F1 car!

Apology accepted, but it is not going to get any 2nd car points for RBR this round, is it, (again).

Man, I just find out over a decade later that the guy driving was a professional driver??... That's fkn ironic. - Also unbelievable that this guy couldn't hold himself together and ended up crashing a car in public.

I believe 1988 was Prost seven wins and Senna eight wins?

What is the chance of quad being stopped by the FIM in 2025? Was looking at entering but now it just seems best route is to go Moto.

Lundy killed Alydar and took the blood money and bought into car racing. What a hero!

Horse and auto racing. Wow. RIP.

Calumet Farm, one of the most successful Thoroughbred stables in history with ten Kentucky Derby victories, sponsored IndyCar legend A.J. Foyt at the 1983 Indianapolis 500 and Foyt’s family also owned horses from the farm.

Re: 2024 Dakar Rally: 80 on Dakar Classic entry list

Thank's so much for the entry list. The participants with the Citroen 2CV, the Renault 4L and the Peugeot 544 Coupe are the real heroes for me. I sincerely hope that the vehicles with days of delay (LOL) reach the finish unscathed. Greetings from Germany. H.S.

Re: Extreme H completes first testing

Extreme H isn't a "sister series", it is Extreme E. In 2025 the series will transition to hydrogen entirely

Re: Red Bull’s giant conundrum: What do they need in a second driver?

Formula One Tragic — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 22:31:56 -0000

There is no doubt that Ricciardo is odds on to get the seat in 2025 as long as he has a good year getting the Boss Racing Bulls team sorted for the boss and he is still quick. What he brings to the A Team is his marketability, his smile and most importantly he will be a trusted 2nd driver who is not going to do a “Checo Monaco” on Max.

Re: Ultimate Desert Challenge cancels Day 2 after Muben Shah’s death

TRIBAL SANJAY — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 02:56:04 -0000

The death is common in motorsport !
And motorsport can be dangers

The same way the riders who passed away on Indian Baja 16/08/2018

But why everyone are silent and not asking anything about Sanjay and vishwas and others suffering at jail ???
When the Angata racing team Asbak died
the truth knows everyone who was there in part of the Indian Baja rally 2018.
But no one talking about Sanjay and vishwas others who suffering at jail almost 23month

Why media team is silent?

Why you guy are silent ?

Why this incedent is not a murder then ?

Why this is only accident?

Why Asbak deth is considered as murder ?

Even Angata racing team member Asbak also died same way ,

We all know what is the motorsport and how it's woks in India , we know it's very difficult to Organise the events in India ! Somehow the events are running safely
But some of the idiot people they taking the natural death also as a murder!
And they claimed family issues and property issue.
So please stop comment if you don't no about the sports. Because sometimes the same comments change someone life turn into wrong .

Weak up motorsport people and give the right knowledge about sports and how sports will works .

If you guy silent like before 2018 may be other people will take a adventage of the natural death to murder and they create the new issue like how it's happen to our innocent riders Sanjay and vishwas .
Get up everyone show the brotherhood to Sanjay and vishwas and other who's there in inside of the jail and suffering more than 23month without doing anything wrong our riders are suffering.

Please Spred the right knowledge about motorsport to all who's don't no about the motorsport,

And please make sure riders perents should know about the motorsport as well And riders whos there in riding community let's them understand and start giving the respect motorsport

Re: Red Bull Set to Evaluate Ricciardo in Silverstone Tyre Test

Formula One Tragic — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 18:52:58 -0000

At last, RB are are realising that they have a worthy contender for the 2nd RB seat right under their noses if Checo underperforms. It is now up to Dan to show that he can do the job in the Pirelli tyre tests, and he will. With Dan you have an experienced 8 time race winner (7 x with RB) and more importantly he will not do a "Checo job" on Max. Ricciardo is a smiling assassin, and he brings fun to the grid where there is a lot of seriousness and an absence of personality, but as soon as the helmet goes on the Honey Badger takes over. Bring it on.

The driver who is proven to impede should qualify and start race one place behind the driver who was impeded.

Once 2nd becomes a regular occurrence then we can start talking about MB closing the gap (which currently is a pit stop).

If Max had a weekend like Checo did, I doubt Horner would describe it as a solid job" or "good recovery".

While I do not subscribe to his view, Piquet called Nigel a fast idiot who threw away three world championships. In 1986 for example a peremptory tyre stop one third of the way into the race at Adelaide might well have secured him one more title.

Re: Lando Norris: McLaren “determined to push forward and score points over the double-header”

John Welch — Tue, 30 May 2023 15:28:15 -0000

McLaren had the best cars and racers at The Indianapolis 500. Pato O'ward deserved to win, and Felix Rosenqvist should have been right there with him. I usually cheer for Andretti, but the McLarens have been good this season in IndyCar.

Re: Daniel Ricciardo Outlines 2024 F1 Return Plans

Steve — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 07:42:27 -0000

I'd love to see Danny back on the grid, but unfortunately I can't see any top team offering him a seat. So if he won't accept a drive for Hass, Williams etc, (even if they would make room for him) he is done.
