Team orders so early in the season ? This is weird. Vettel will win the WC with out team orders the advantage He has is the Ferrari is reliable.

It's not as if Team orders are not in play at Mercedes. Remember when Bottas was told to move over.

Very true.
If it wasn't for the British commentators hammering Ferrari for what they saw as team orders, meant to disadvantage their blue eyed boy, it would've been a non issue.

Especially for Ferrari, a team that has struggled for a long time now, to say well let's be more concerned with a win for Kimi, rather than a championship for Seb. As harsh as that sounds, Mercedes are doing the same for Lewis right now despite it being early days. Name of the game right now, so you can look at this which ever way, it's the right thing for Ferrari to do, because Seb has been the better of 2 anyway

Not working, I get the page but no way to start the quiz, just a Facebook / Twiter Share and View All Comments.
I guess that Social Media is of more value to Planet F1 than the actual F1 content :)

OK got it working - it was being blocked for Privacy Invasion - It had 18 different trackers activated giving your personal data and use habits to at least 6 different companies.

I told it to allow PlayBuzz and restrict everything else.

So I was incorrect on my assumption, It is not Social Media it is your Personal Data that is of more interest too them than F1 content.

I guess we cant trust any sites anymore, they are all click bait and potential malware.

Did you know?

Michael Schumacher holds the record for the greatest number of wins at Circuit Gilles Villenueve. He won seven times between 1994-2004. Nelson Piquet and Lewis Hamilton have each won three races at the circuit, whilst Alan Jones and Ayrton Senna won twice.

Riccardo Paletti, starting only his second F1 race, was killed at the start of the 1982 race when he crashed into the Ferrari of pole-sitter Didier Peroni, who had stalled when the race got underway. Paletti’s death came only five weeks after Gilles Villeneuve had perished during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix and his was the last death in a Formula 1 race until Ayrton Senna died in 1994 at Imola.

Jean Alesi scored the only win of his 202 race career at the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix.

Jacques Villeneuve, Canada’s only Formula 1 world champion (1997), never won the Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix at the circuit named after his father. His best result was 2nd on debut in 1996.

The 2000 race was unique in that it was the first time two brothers finished 1st and 2nd in an F1 race. Ralf Schumacher won and Michael followed him home.

Robert Kubica took the first ever F1 victory by a Polish driver in the 2008 race, a year after he had survived a horrendous accident at the circuit.

Jensen Button won an action-packed race in 2011 after passing Sebastian Vettel on the final lap. The race had five safety car periods and a 2 hour delay due to to heavy rain.

Yupp, that was my countryman and the only piece of F1 Poland has ever had.

I believe he would have loved to return and would have come back was it not for those subsequent accidents causing severe limitations in being competitive.

Funny you should mention him today.

Look what has just been reported...

Robert Kubica: Pole drives F1 car for first time since 2011 accident

Robert Kubica has driven a Formula 1 car for the first time since the horrific rally accident that curtailed his career before the 2011 season.

The Pole, who won the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix for BMW Sauber, suffered a partially severed right arm that has left him with limited movement.

But on Tuesday he completed a full day's testing with Renault at the Ricardo Tormo track in Valencia, Spain.

It is not clear whether the test, in a 2012 car, means a comeback is possible.

Renault said Kubica "complained about grip, understeer, downforce and had the biggest smile on after his 115 laps".

A reporter from the French newspaper L'Equipe said on Twitter that the 32-year-old conducted a race-simulation run and set a fastest lap time quicker than Renault reserve driver Sergei Sirotkin. Renault were not available to verify the information.
