Don't you see well with the current cameras? I dont see the point on making everything HD or FullHD when you can see everything perfectly most of times. You get four times as much detail in HD than you do with SD - what's not to like :?: From an onboard HD for example, you can actually see much mor...

F1 2013 Rules and Regulations Article 43.3 After receiving the end-of-race signal all cars must proceed on the circuit directly to the post race parc fermé without any unnecessary delay, without receiving any object whatsoever and without any assistance (except that of the marshals if necessary). A...

Well, let's only count stats that start at a convenient date for our argument, shall we? If we count Premiership football in the UK since last Saturday, it's even safer than F1. Yes, but your argument was, that we need to do immediate drastical changes to improve safety. Without knowing, i suspect ...

Nice looking car!

But it seems to lack a front crash structure.
And the survival cell is very small.

Formula One is one of the safest environments there is, sporting or otherwise. 3 people have died in Formula One since 2000 to my knowledge, and to put it into perspective, more people die playing football than they do in Formula One. As a percentage of the total number of competitors? After 1994, ...

About "Tooned" you might (or might not) be wrong...

Don't underestimate kimi's sense of humour

A very impressive chart!

But I'm not clever enough to understand how to read it...

If Mclaren were throwing the title - - Why would he build a 23 second lead in China? Without the pit lane entry error he was good for 2nd place and the title. - If Raikkonen had retired in Brazil, Alonso has WDC. -Simalarly if any car from the top 6 other than Kimi had retired, Lewis would have bee...

Thanks to Hairy_Scotsman for the photos/updates!

The track looks very promising!

What about the weather in Austin?
Can we expect hot and dry, or are there a probability for rain?

I believe they are one and the same, Mark Slade.

Maybe that's right,
but officially the harshness was because they were found blatantly "not" telling the truth in the hearings.

I found Carmen Jordá and Vicky Piria in GP3 as well.

There are about 10 drivers that could reach the pole.

But my prediction is Kimi or Lewis.

After qualifying there are other events on the track, if all 10 cars decided to pull over after the finish line not only is it a safety risk but it would make everything run late after qualifying. The GP2 race runs to a tight schedule. The F1 race is always the last event of the weekend. Exactly! A...

I believe the basic reason for the qualifying rule is of a very practical nature. If it was allowed to park the car on the track, instead of driving it back to the pit, everyone would do it to save the last 1000th of a second. And consequently bring chaos to the qualifying sessions... Edit: Yellow f...
