The US doesn't do international sports because they can lose at them. America can only tolerate Americans winning so they just play their own sport so they can win every time. Nice attempt at damage control.... Sorry, formula1fan, I don't buy it. Your first post shown above was insulting and ignora...

I think they're going to have to renew the contract. Otherwise there's not gonna be wheels for next year. I don't think another supplier could step in this fast. Why wouldn't there be any wheels? Lol :uhoh: I meant that surely only Pirelli has the capability to have next year's tyres ready. Do you ...

Anyone here race in the PRL? I race in the American assist and non assist leagues. Both division 2. PC.

I hope they dont change that part. One of my favorite turns.

But think of it this way, if they want success and dont need the money, wouldnt you just focus on developing this car AND go for the success while putting the same money and effort you would otherwise in to new car? if money is not an issue then going for both should be doable. They would just focu...

daytona81

Championship point means more money as well though. Just sayin. Mercedes don't need the money right now. They have what is probably the biggest budget in the sport at the moment. But don't let us get in the way of your armchair expert views. I'm sure you know more about Motorsport operations than o...

Well see. I have a feeling something crazy like this might happen

daytona81

Why bother racing if you're it going to race for a title when the chance is there. Idiot. Maybe, just maybe because you don't run hundred million $ budget by headlessly pursuing fool's errands without a plan? :uhoh: 2014 is going to be much more important than today, as new engines make all cars in...

daytona81

Let's be honest, for all intensive purposes Merc is a British team, as is RBR. Despite being registered in their parent companies' homeland, all the important stuff happens here. Thats kinda like saying McDonalds is british because there are McDonalds restaurants in the UK :nod: Actually, not at al...

I don't think it is necessarily unpopular. But when you have sports that play/race every single week that are in the country, I think it's easier to focus. And to be honest, of ALL major sports that I know much about, f1 is the least fan friendly by a massive margin. Grand am racing is the most. I c...

In hindsight we all look like geniuses. I believed that 2013 would be dismal, with 2014 as the year when Mercedes could deliver a competitive car. But Mercedes have appeared to come to grips with tire degradation for what was a quick car (cough, cough, tire test ) and 2013 has been a pleasant surpr...

daytona81

Yeah, NBC's totally better than Speed, and super better than Fox, but, I've not been watching the races that much, because, frankly, the trio of Varsha/Matchett/Hobbs had this electricity which made them not only the best team covering F1 or racing, but the best sports broadcasting team of all! Now...

I was watching the Tour de France and I kept thinking what if F1 had the same system they did where the championship winner was classified not through points, but through overall time. So I got the calculator out and fashioned a new championship standings. There are however a few problems with cars...

Can we make a rule where if you create a poll you actually have to post the question? It seems like 9/10 people create a poll and the thread title isn't a question. Sometimes there is not question even after clicking the the link. A bit of an annoyance.

never would have guessed that the reason there is a dirty side of the grid and the reason all the dinosaurs died would be related.

daytona81

I never understand why drivers don't drive down the 'dirty' side more in free practice. It'll distort some of their trajectory ( I'm sure they can compensate) but it'll give less of a disadvantage starting on that side. After all, there's a 50/50 chance that they will. Why take the chance of helpin...

F1 cars have so fast acceleration that even a driver's reaction time worth of delay will get him far behind distance-wise at the end of a main straight. Totally irrelevant. No what Covalent says is correct. It is irrelevant to a point. Ever watch drag racing? If so, you know why I say irrelevant. T...

Well I'm not sure how it works in other Motorsport but in F1 the release line for the drivers is a line on the track, not when the safety car enters the pits or exits the track, obviously the first driver will be on the throttle a full car length before the 2nd place car, also the restart line in F...

Of course it isn't easy. Lol. But why is F1 completely different from any other Motorsport where divers can stay within distance of the leader.

Surely after the fuss they kicked up why doesn't Pirelli tell them go and swivel?! http://www.planetf1.com/news/3213/8821424/Red-Bull-Exploring-Possible-Pirelli-Test Their qualms were with Mercedes Benz. Not really with Pirelli. But it caused Pirelli a massive headache as well. If I were Pirelli I'...

daytona81

Why are Formula 1 drivers the worst at restarts? I've never seen any other kind of racing where a driver, especially in 2nd place, lets the leader check out before they even get to the flag. The NBC commentators here in the US, most notably David Hobbs, has absolutely ripped drivers in the recent se...

daytona81

I agree with the above. I haven't seen anyone drive around missing a wheel in a long time. If it happen exiting the pits they stop in the lane or just outside put exit and turn the car off. If it happen on track they do the same. Pull over.

Why do the producers love Rob Smedley so much. He's a driver engineer for a driver who hasn't done anything in years. Yet they show Rob at least once a race weekend but we never see engineers for other drivers. Why is this?

I hope the Kevlar tires now will help them even more. Supposed to run 10c degrees cooler. MGP WCC and Lewis WDC. Kevlar belts didn't help them much in 2011 and 2012.
