Re: Aston Martin to become Red Bull title sponsor

Is it just me who finds it funny that the car manufacturer will be the sponsor and the drinks company will be the constructor? I guess this was the same in the Infinity days but at least they had a link to the engine. Unlike AM...

Re: "Popular victores" in F1

Has to be Ferrari's 1-2 at Monza in 88 for me. Perfect time and place to prevent the McLaren clean sweep that year Good memory! Also the same happened in 1979, with Jody and Gilles finishing 1-2, and Jody getting the WDC with that. Can you imagine a better scenario for tifosi? That one's a great sh...

Alonso: 2016 and 2017 at mclaren, then one final hurrah at Renault in 2018 before calling it a day. Retires to run a Renault sponsored pro-cycling team

Re: Asphalt run off turn 8/9 Montreal.. Just been confirmed

I wish they could do something to safely punish the drivers for going off. There should be a consequence for going off, other than death or other serious injury. Maybe put 75-100mm of gravel on top of a tarmac run off. Just enough to be able to beach a car, but not enough to flip them over. Or sand...

How many races did the lead change after turn one of the last lap of the race in 2005?
