I never really enjoyed Istanbul Park. :thumbup: Agreed, I never saw what all the fuss was about. The only memorable race there was when Vettel and Webber bumped into each other. Yeah, and Turn 8, while it looked challenging and spectacular, was very bad for racing, because by being such a high spee...

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/120560 Montoya himself benefited from double points when he won the Indianapolis 500. Removing that advantage brings Dixon closer, but Montoya hangs on. Standings with no double scores at all: 1 Montoya 478 2 Dixon 474 3 Rahal 448 4 Power 426 5 Castroneve...

What was Power doing?

Mediocre Indy Car driver, pretty poor NASCAR driver, all-round loud mouth shows remarkable self-awareness...

Clearly the red bull and ferrari (2002) were more dominant

Well, that and Merc don't have a number 1 policy and I rate Rosberg above Blarichello and Webber so there isn't just one driver winning.

There's a very vocal group of F1 fans calling for the covering of drivers as well as covering up the open wheels of F1 cars , all in the name of maximum safety. As I think about this drive to push cars in this direction, I ask myself, how are F1 cars then different from prototype sports cars like t...

No it can't be made completely safe but why should that stop us trying to improve safety?

I really don't understand the obsession some people have with the white lines. Maybe on some of the newer circuits with acres of runoff where the lines are pretty much the only thing defining the circuit, but if someone rides the curbs a bit too much I really don't see the issue. Pretty much everyo...

I actually like the V8 Supercars solution to this problem, at notorious corners where the drivers get greedy they put down a sensor that detects when 4 tyres have crossed over it and which car it was. When this happens an instantaneous warning gets sent to the team and if you cross it too many time...

While I can see him not being number one, I do have to wonder when people totally poo-poo LH from even being in the top 3 drives of the day.

A few videos on youtube now. You can clearly see debris from the first crash hit the cockpit. Considering the speed of the corner I doubt he is going to be in a good state. Get Well soon Justin the bodywork-part is literally being shot up almost twice as high as the catch-fences are after hitting w...

I cannot tell you how much I hate open-wheel racing on ovals. All that energy with nowhere to go, bound up like stones in a blender. I sure hope he is going to be ok. I kinda agree with this, ever since I saw Wheldon's crash, I just have this nagging doubt in my mind that something horrible is goin...

No link yet but Justin Wilson has been airlifted to hospital after being struck on the head by a nosecone during the Pocono 500.

Thoughts with him

1. Hami - Should just how much of a class above he is when he started pulling 0.7 a lap out of Nico after the VSC. 2. RoGro - Stellar drive, really impressed. 3. Max Verstapp - The pass on Nasr was a thing to behold, he would have been easily number one if he had made the move on Räikkönen stick. So...

Why would Mercedes want to provide Red Bull with their engines? It would be an alarmingly foolish move if you think about it. Pretty much everybody with an opinion on the subject says that being a works team is a huge advantage, so what should Mercedes really have to fear? Jut like when Renault las...

I don't really mind either way but what IS Kimi doing to justify his seat?

Payments based on how a team performs with the better ones getting more cash is pretty ok for me. Ferrari getting millions more than anyone else just for being Ferrrari is not. Why not? The Rolling Stones get millions more than anyone else just for being the Rolling Stones. It's show business. And ...

The Peugeot deal is what really scuppered Prost. It was an absolute pig. They went from a team that probably would have won a couple of races in '97 without Panis's accident to a backmarker.

I'm surprised no one has said free access to races on TV. This is the most important thing for the future of the sport[/quote ] What some fail to grasp, is that F1 on the BBC has never been 'free to air'. We in the UK pay £145.50 a year. The annoying thing is we pay more and more each year for the ...

Rumours that he was actually dug up to be used as a replacement for Maldonado are unconfirmed.

I'd say now would be the perfect time for McLaren to take a gamble and get Vandoorne in.

I thought the 2008 McLaren was a ghastly mess, lots of horrid winglets sticking out all over the place. I'd have put it on the 'ugliest' list personally.

" Push him out" I believe is the phrase used. Which isn't quite as cut and dry IMO. I fail to see what "push him out" could mean other than cause a deliberate accident.
