India?s Supreme Court will deliberate tomorrow whether Sunday?s grand prix at the Buddh International Circuit should go ahead.

Campaigner Amit Kumar has brought a petition before the court claiming the race should not go ahead, arguing the organisers have not paid tax owed on last year?s race.

Kumar previously succeeded in blocking the F1 race from receiving tax-exempt status from the Uttar Pradesh government.

Race organisers Jaypee Sports told the BBC: ?Whatever the court says, we are ready to follow.?

The Indian Grand Prix has already lost its place on the 2014 F1 calendar and the political disputes surrounding the race have cast doubt on whether it will return in 2015.

If Sunday?s race were cancelled and not replaced, there would be insufficient points available in the remaining three races for Sebastian Vettel to be beaten to the drivers? championship or for Red Bull to be stopped from winning the constructors? championship.

I would be very surprised if the race was cancelled. They'd stand to lose more money by cancelling it.

 

I would like to see SkySports F1 coverage trying to fill up the hours :laugh:

 

I remember a couple of years back when qualifying for the Korean GP was cancelled (rain) till the next day.

The BBC didn't know what to do, obviously they had to stay on the air just in case it did happen.

Also wasn't it Lee McKenzie's first/last time presenting the show :laugh:

Vettel takes #4, what a surprise. What a boring season it's been this year. Looking forward to 2014 and hopefully some more competition. There's no doubting Vettel is a good driver but I honestly believe his car is 8/10th of what gives him his titles. Newey is the man that deserves most of the recognition

Agree with you there! I'm not into conspiracy theories .. just annoys me that Webber's car seems to get the technical problems while Vettel just gets to keep pushing...

F1 put in way too much stuff like DRS and KERS to the point that it's more about the car than it is the driver. The result has been a very boring past couple of seasons.

It saddens me that his name is being thrown amongst the greats like Prost, Fangio, Senna, etc. I honestly don't think he's half the driver of any of them :(

 

As for KERS and DRS, can't say they really bother me; they add to the strategy of the race and to the tools available to the driver. Where I draw the line is with the tires which have essentially stopped racing and have turned the sport into a "who can manage their car and communicate with their team to get an opening" the best. Seems all too backward to me.

Lucky guy. He would be able to sell this for a pretty good price.

 

But I would still keep it.

 

Although this is India, he better be careful to not get mugged and stolen from. He just showed his face to the world.

 

I was in India for 2 and a half months for work, so I know quite a bit about it

As much as this forum seems to hate on Vettel, he's been driving flawlessly throughout the season. Watching back some of his laps and you can really see the skill he has, hey I'm not a fan but no other driver can pull a near 3 second lead on lap 1. That is partially helped by Newey of course.

 

He deserved it, especially when other teams have been floundering around the rest of the season, both Ferrari and Mercedes have dropped away over the course of the season, I thought once we got to Hungary and Lewis' win there, we might have a great 3 way battle, but it seemed obvious that both had switched resources over to next year by Belgium...a shame really.

 

Well, now that the WDC and WCC are wrapped up, let's watch and enjoy the battle for 2nd place in both, as it's fairly tight at present. We have that and the driver rumours floating around. And this is the first of them.

^ Yep, Adrian Newey definitely deserves a good share of the credit for Red Bull's success (and, in my opinion, a knighthood). Vettel's car is so ahead of the other teams that about half of the season's drivers could win the championship if they were in that car instead.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
