"If you’re asked for an opinion and you give it, people say, “Oh why doesn’t he shut his mouth?” If we go around saying, “No comment” to everything, we’re all boring bastards."
Mark Webber in F1 Racing, July 2008 (via sebsbulgeandarse)
That is one of the reasons why I love drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Vitaly Petrov.
New Los MiniDrivers - Indian Grand Prix!
What Formula One 2011 taught me part one
Sebastian Vettel: He has had a dream season, broke a stupid amount of records, become the youngest double world champion. It’s been a blur for everyone in the sport
Mark Webber: He’s had team orders used against him this season, always been second best to Sebastian, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a good driver. Everyone respects him hugely.
Lewis Hamilton: Lewis has had such a bad season, but instead of just caving in and falling, he is fighting against all the bad things pushing him back, trying to get back up to the top again.
Jenson Button: Last to first in Canada. Nothing short of a godly performance. Stunning.
Fernando Alonso: Firstly, after Robert Kubicas accident, he was the first driver out there to see him, secondly, his kindness towards Lewis. I know they have never seen eye to eye, but this year, he has seemed to make much more of an effort with him to get along, and we even saw hugging and joking at Jenson Button’s 200th Grand Prix party. It showed that he does care.
Felipe Massa: After his awful accident in Hungary, to come back and still be near his old form is a remarkable feat. He got knocked down lots last year, but he has still picked himself up and fought on.
Formula One driver tributes to Dan Wheldon
- Lewis Hamilton: This is an extremely sad day. Dan was a racer I’d followed throughout my career, as I often followed in his footsteps as we climbed the motorsport ladder in the UK. He was an extremely talented driver. As a British guy, who not only went over to the States but who twice won the Indy 500, this is a tragic loss at such a young age. My heart goes out to his family and friends during this extremely difficult time. #DanWheldon.
- Jenson Button: Just woken up to the most horrific news.. Dan Wheldon RIP. I have so many good memories of racing with Dan in the early 90's, a true fighter. We've lost a legend in our sport but also a great guy. I can't begin to imagine what his family are going through and my thoughts are with them at this very difficult time.
- Rubens Barrichello: Just got out from the plane and got the terrible news about the death of our friend #DanWheldon. Will always remember the great times we had at karting in Brazil my friend. Rest in peace #DanWheldon

Q:
Jenson, no win to round off the season but obviously an upbeat ending for you.
JB:
For sure. It is always nice to end on a high but it is the same for everyone out there. It is a very competitive field. It is not just one team at the front. All season it has been up and down for us and for…
