Re: Watching in pubs

I didn't mean to come across as arrogant but I can see why you thought that. If people want to gain a wider knowledge of F1 and don't want to come across as a newbie to the sport then they can go away and google questions and get good and reasonable answers. A few of the people I referred to as fans...

Re: Jules Bianchi Update Thread [Split Thread]

Its very positive news, things could have been much worse in these crucial few hours after the accident. Unfortunately we now have to wait as the next few hours/days are crucial to the rest of his life and career.

Re: Adrain Newey's next move?

I thought it had been established by Newey himself that he is off to design America's cup race yacht(s) but will still be working as an advisor to RBR? Newey has said for many years that he would design yachts after he was finished with F1. He has also refused a position at Ferrari many times (and ...

Re: Japanese Grand Prix RACE Thread.

I don't think they confirmed it, just said it could be to do with head injuries and changes in pressure when flying above a certain level, as they pointed out though the helicopter probably wouldn't have got to those heights. I'm not sure to think of that as good or bad :(

The Finnish TV Commentator Toni Vilander, who is an accomplished driver himself, said IMMEDIATELY after they put up the yellow flags that this is clearly not enough at this situation, as any one can spin at the same place again with serious consequences. Unfortunately this is exactly what happened....

One car is out and the other is in 13th. Yet they keep the latter driver.

It's the obvious thing to do ;)

Also that means that Ferraris continuous points scoring record will end after this race.

I do wonder if Rosberg has bigger issues, seems painfully slow compared to Hamilton.

Did he have his taped up for the sc period? They'll need to remove that at the pit stop if that's the case.

I don't know why they're not pitting though, competitions coming from outside the team
