Re: Tail-happy 2014 cars?
Sigh ... unfortunately Honda Quick knows what he's talking about. For a few wonderful moments I dreamed and hoped for something different. But the reality is that by the times the teams and engine manufacturers get everything sorted out, we won't see intentional power slides. But what we will see a...

Re: First 2014 Car Photos - Post them here.
Can someone do a comparison between the air inlets and air exhausts? They seem to drastically change in size depending on the team, caterham have gone huge up front and tiny out the back whilst merc/red bull seem to even smaller front intakes than last year.

I don't get the thread title? Martin Brundle's Sky F1 commentary, talking about Mark Webber's line through the corner just before Sutil spun into him.

Next year if ferrari pull one out of the bag then itll be opposite. Seb would actually be quite a good villain methinks! While I'm not a ...

With DRS this question is almost not needed.

I dont think Ron dennis would be a good TP at all, his head is too large and he would block up the whole cistern.

You wouldnt be far off in terms of comparing indy and f1. There is the problem of rev limits though, with f1 being much higher. Still-very similar cars.

ALAN JONES IS TERRIBLE.
Australian commentators have absolutely no idea and can add only basic observations.
An ex-f1 driver and he seems like he's had his head in the sand for the last 30 years after retiring.
