2011 Season Review: Renault v Force India v Sauber v Toro Rosso

Some of the most intriguing and captivating battles in 2011 came in the midfield as four teams battled it out for mid-table supremacy. Renault: Renault’s season suffered an early set back as a rally crash in February put Kubica on the shelf for the rest of the season. Petrov and Heidfeld stepped up and they [...]

Delete Post Option

I was just wondering if there is any thought to giving the person who started a thread the ability to delete a post themselves? There seems to be some people who start random profiles to either promote a "business" or to post comments that are intentionally rude or off topic, then you have a half a dozen (or more) people responding to the inapproprate post.

I have seen (and reported) some comments that I personally would not want any children of mine to have to read, and some questionable (to say the least) business solicitations. Of course, after reporting them they are eventually removed, but it seems that it would take one more thing off the monitors plate if a delete option was available to the person that began the thread.

Just a thought,

Everett.

McLaren drivers out of title race

Fernando Alonso is still the driver in the best position to win the drivers’ title according to the Daily Telegraph’s Tom Cary.
“Focus and concentration will be of paramount importance and there is none stronger in this regard than Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso.”
The Guardian’s Oliver Owen thinks that it is Mark Webber’s title to lose now, and that this may be the Australian’s last realistic chance of winning the title.
“He has driven beautifully. Monaco and Silverstone spring to mind. He has been an uncompromising racer, not giving Vettel or Lewis Hamilton an inch in Turkey and Singapore respectively. Most importantly, he has largely avoided the bouts of brain fade that can wreck a season – his on-track hooning in Melbourne when racing Hamilton being the only exception. But there is a feeling that for Webber it is now or never, that a chance of a tilt at the title may never come again. He is certainly driving as if that is the case and that has been his strength.”
According to The Mirror’s Byron Young, both McLaren drivers are now out of the title hunt after their fourth and fifth place finishes in Suzuka.
“McLaren's title hopes died yesterday in a weekend from Hell at Suzuka. Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton finished fourth and fifth in a Japanese Grand Prix they had to win to have the remotest chance of keeping their title bid alive."
The Sun’s Michael Spearman was of the same opinion, saying “Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button's title hopes were in tatters after a shocker in Japan.”

Why Michael Schumacher Could Win The 2011 World Championship

Michael Schumacher’s 2010 comeback was somewhat abortive.  The results, the driving standard and the overtakes were well below par for the former champion.  He even let his team mate beat him for the first time in his career.  So why can Schumacher, the fallen Ferrari hero, win the world championship for an 8th time? It’s [...]
