I can't believe people are still arguing about the halo after it probably saved two lives last year in F1/F2.

I had that crash in mind too. Kovalainen's crash was a bit clearer.

That is a very tasteless drawing. Such things will not help the Spa circuit and the safety discussion.

RIP Anthoine.

It will arrive, I'm sure, once it's ready. The Halo got the nod because it was ready then and there.

Another Schumacher rising through the ranks

Following the F3 crash at Monza involving Australian Alex Peroni, who was launched skywards at Parabolica, and due to injuries received (he is still in a back brace) he will be replaced at Campos Racing by one David (son of Ralf) Schumacher at this weekend’s Russian Grand Prix support races. He steps up from the Formula Regional European Championship.

He’s proved a front runner in that competition, claiming two wins in Barcelona last weekend.

So this weekend at Sochi we will again see two Schumachers in action, with David’s cousin / Michael's son, Mick Schumacher competing in the Formula 2 championship

Apparently O'Ward is doing rubbish in Japan. Should have stayed in the States.

O'Ward will probably be let go by Red Bull in the off-season.

Hardly likely. Before season's end is Red Bull's style.

Red Bull's junior driver program doesn't measure success with how many of it's drivers win races or titles. Success equals how many drivers it hires and fires off it's program in a single season.

Is this the son of the legendary Alex Yoong?!
