That era was when they allowed testing in the F1 cars. Michael tested and tested with new parts and got the car dialed in either with Benetton or Ferrari. Today, testing is
banned, hence one reason why Honda is in the position its in. IMO, I think they need to bring back testing and lift the test ban; it would certainly make things competitive on
the field.
I don't know why their F1 coverage is so biased. When the subject is golf, or tennis, or football, or any other sport, the BBC is a good source of information and does not go overboard in rooting for the home teams/players. Sure they favor Andy Murray over Federer or Nadal, but they're never obnoxious about it.
But when it comes to F1 all their professionalism goes out the window and they're like some trashy tabloid.

Is that better? Jeez... You guys make it sound like I said something inappropriate.
Disappointed Since 2010

Why Kimi struggling at every race I'm unable to understand. Car is good, working in every conditions apart from Baku.
FP1,FP2,FP3 are the sessions for the driver to find right balance n set-up going into the race.
It's his feedback on car n track, engineer will set the car up to his liking. But still he's unable to fight like bottas who's always right there in top3 during quali in this season.
I'm finding it difficult to see him in the red car again.
Weather update like I said yesterday. Right around the time when the race will start, their will be some deep convection with some local t-storms in the track vacinity. For now it doesnt look too strong, it looks like just light rain, or maybe max moderate, but still this can change everything.
You can watch high res radar image here. I pointed the location of the circuit.

Gutted that I will miss the race, in holiday in Abu Dhabi and will be doing Ferrari World around the time of the race.
What a joke . Vettel had more than twice his bad luck .
Actually apart from Hamilton or Merc mistakes (which is not bad luck but underperforming) the only time I remember him had bad luck was in Monaco qualy .
While Vettel had a lot of bad luck especially with safety cars . In China instead of winning the race he fought from 5th to 2nd . In Bahrain SC was going again to make him lose the lead after using the undercut if it wasn't for the Merc mistakes at the pitstop . In Spain the VSC lost him about 10 sec advantage over Hamilton and made it easier for Hamilton to overtake him . Even in Canada the timing of the safety car masked the real problem of the FW and if it was 1 lap after, it was going to be another story and easy podium . And the accident with Max was also a bad luck and not a mistake he made . And Vettel had to fight from last to 4th .
And reliability issues Vettel used 4 TC and 3 MGU-H from earlier this season . And if I'm not mistaken he has the worse reliability after Mclaren drivers . Not only that but he changed his engine twice before qualy this season . While Hamilton has a very clean season so far and only the gearbox problem this race .
I don't understand how he believes that vettel is lucky

60% possibility for t-storms between 14:00-16:00

Sergio Marchionne is at the track
..rain looks like definite... sadly
1. Bottas n Kimi vulnerable in these conditions
2. Max is a real threat if it rains
3. RB went with high DF set up
Only one thing to feel happy is ham's strategy is out now.
Ferrari & mercs will have new engines with more power in Silverstone @AMUS F1
Strange, the circuit website says "chance of rain 0%"
