Jenson Button insists Formula One is "more fun these days" than it was during the Michael Schumacher era, despite Sebastian Vettel's current dominance.
I guess it depends on your point of view. I actually liked the Schumacher era better.

Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa handed speeding ticket by police on way to Italian GP

I didn't think this would be possible for a Ferrari driver on the weekend of the Italian GP.

I wonder where Massa will go. I don't think he's ready to retire. Will Lotus pick him up?

You know...I wondered about that too. Actually, I wondered if him and Kimi might have done a seat swap? Heck if he can't find a top team in F1, he aught to talk to Webber...I'm sure somebody would want him to drive an LMP1. I just found it odd that Ferrari would want Kimi back, I thought there was a bit of bad blood between them when he left the first time?

This is some action from last year. So good, especially Vettel vs Hamilton and Hamilton vs Alonso.

Lewis on a simulator:


By the way, he's topped the first session in Singapore so far (FP1) ahead of the 2 Red Bulls, but of course that means nothing.

So far he has been putting on a smiley face and playing the company line. I can't imagine that he is that nonchalant about it.

You can't chase the hot car of the moment. Red Bull's day will be over in the future. McLaren & Ferrari will always rise to the top.

Rumor has it that he was in talks with them already after Ferrari discussed signing Kimi.

Red Bull killed it in FP2, a full second quicker than both Mercedes .

Vettel ahead of Webber and Rosberg ahead of Hamilton. Tomorrow is going to be interesting for sure.

NBC Sports is offering Qualifying live streaming from their website. It's only the F1 feed. No local commentary.
To watch it on TV you have to wait until late tonight.

RB is still looking like they're close to a second quicker than the next challenger. Oy Vey!

After 6 laps, Vettel leads Rosberg by 6.6 seconds. The 'Devil' is in the details
