Toeknee_33 Turbocharged November 25, 2014 Share November 25, 2014 Marco Mattiacci really got a raw deal. He left a successful post as head of Ferrari North America to be parachuted into Ferrari F1 to help save the team. Now he is left jobless. He should have said NO to LdM. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a short end of the stick. In the lighter side of the news, this year's end credits for BBC FYI, FIA Gala Prize giving is on 05 Dec 2014. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Turbocharged December 4, 2014 Author Share December 4, 2014 Rules always change every season. with the new engine, fine tuning the rules along the way is inevitable. I am against double points for the last race. can't imagine Ham lose his WDC title to Ros due to double points at the last race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator December 4, 2014 Share December 4, 2014 with the new engine, fine tuning the rules along the way is inevitable. I am against double points for the last race. can't imagine Ham lose his WDC title to Ros due to double points at the last race. I also agree that there shouldn't be this double points last race rule cos the overall winner should be based on the whole season performance. That said, I must add however that this rule made the final race more exciting; at least till Rosberg lost power else without this double points rule, we wouldn't have a possible climax, so can't have everything I suppose!! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His driving skills will not be on par with Alonso. My guess, he will be the 2nd driver now. Will need to give way to Alonso.

Kac 4th Gear December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 Button knows where he stand. he is lucky he still driving for McLaren next season. could have ended in Sauber instead......or doing full time triathlon. Jenson is the type of driver that can deliver mostly when the track conditions are evolving (HUN 06, CAN 11) or when he hits the sweet spot for the car (first part of 2009, some races in McLaren). Other times when he does seem lost at sea when his teammate was putting the car on pole in 2012 does make you wonder if if the 2013/2014 McLaren cars are REALLY that bad. I won't say he is bad but you don't wins 15 races for nothing. He still has one year in him.. Hopefully he can do his proper goodbyes and let MAG take over his seat in 2016...He (MAG) IMHO deserves a proper race seat.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kac 4th Gear December 16, 2014 Share December 16, 2014 Thks for the link, seems like he's not driven a notable drive since Aussie GP of 2012; that's more than 2 years!! Some say its the car.. But then having said that, there were times in 2012 when Button seemed lost at sea while Hamilton was taking the car to P1 (though Ham did retire THREE times while in the lead) but i think SkyF1 has presented quite a good comparison.. It's harsh but I'd say McLaren paid the price in 2013/2014 for not having a tier 1 driver. Let's see how they go in 2015 with ALO around. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
