Re: The Official Fernando Alonso thread

All I have to say is, is anyone else really bloody stoked they don't have to be a Ferrari fan anymore?

Tiffosi used to give me the evil eye when I said I was a fan but made it apparent I was a Nando fan first and foremost.

Re: Is part of the 2014 regulations going to end quali farce

If you get to the Q3 you have a spot in the top 10. If you're lucky to be there, congrats, you can't start worse than 10th. You might be able to get further up the field, but won't do as well in the race if you use a set of tires, or run the and start on the softer tires. It gives teams a better cha...

Re: Is Massa past it?

He's shown moments of brilliance since his return from the spring accident, but they have been far and few between. If he wants to keep racing then it won't be in a top team so he'd have to see out his twilight years in a midfield team. He should retire if he makes it to the end of the year and fini...

Re: suddenly pirelli become UNsafe!! is this conspiracy ؟؟

How different are the tires from last year? They didn't have problems last year as far as I recall, but it's worth noting, although it's not a rough track, due to low temps and smooth surface, the amount of flat out running must be hell on the tires. Let;s see if they last at Monza :>

It seems with Scarbs now writing paid content Autosport there's less info around. This leads me to think a lot of info was Scarbs stuff rehashed, but those people can't be bothered paying for it and disseminating it. Anyone else notice a lack of technical info since Scarbs went behind the paywall?

Re: The Point to Forbidding SetUp Changes?

It was for cost cutting. No engine changes and hence no qually engines meant less wages and bits. Was Max's though, not Bernie's, along with no third car and limiting testing. Most things like giving the wrenches a break and spicing up the action are a nice result of said cost cutting measures.
