    It’ll be interesting. So many very young F1 drivers these days – hardly had time to pass their driving tests and yet they’re competing at the highest level.

    Can the old dog teach these young whippersnappers a thing or two :lol1: :lol1:

    I think if Schumi & Hamilton go head to head into the first corner, the consequences could be rather sour.

    It’s been an appalling 14 days for motor racing and rather freakish that two incidents, one claiming the life of Henry Surtees at just 19 years old should be caused by parts falling off cars!

    A dreadful loss of life at just 19!

    They dont need a driving test to drive F!, in fact it would be quite detrimental to learn to drive on the roads. Young chaps that have a skill to drive on a track using control, ability, and awareness of their surroundings dont need to signal if they are changing lanes…

    Ahh..I see..

    That explains why they never indicate when they are overtaking then. 😕

    I was listening to an informed opinion on the radio, and apparently, F1 drivers are going to get younger in the future, Hamilton is an example,
    but it is an extreme sport, and the peak of physical and mental ability for F1 is getting lower,

    I had recently concluded that it was not the driver but the car that won races.

    This season has been exciting because it seems to be wide open – the team with the best car (under current regulations) is the team that is winning.

    Ferrari and Mclaren have finally caught up with Red bull and Brawn – but is it the cars or the drivers that win races?
