In terms of average speed, Silverstone was faster tan Monza, but I think Monza had top speeds.

To be fair, couldn't be bothered doing too much deep research to verify all of the figures - it's just an internet forum and (I like to kid myself) I have a life, so just trusting people to be reasonably accurate with figures.

Re: I've actually never seen a gun

I still don't like guns, I was brought up by a father who had to carry one because of his job (and bring it home often), and I would get a huge tell off anytime I got closer to it (even though it was unloaded, of course). I have shot pistols, shotguns, MGs, assault rifles and had the chance to have ...

Wait are people seriously implying that the current Hockenheim is better for overtaking than the old one? I don't believe this one bit. I do, the old one was faster, but too narrow. This new Hockenheim is better IMO. As for the reason to shorten it, I thought it was for ecological and safety reason...

Re: is there a regulation on lap-time for all circuits in F1

I've enjoyed F1 since 1988, and I've seen many circuits leave and/or replace with new ones. Somehow, if my memory serves me right, I have never seen any circuit that: 1. Lap time is under 60 seconds, or 2. Lap time is over 120 seconds (2 minutes) So the question is: is there actually a regulation b...

The reason for bringing Kimi up is simply that, like Alonso, he's been accused of not perhaps having the drive he used to anymore (e.g. the endless references to eating ice-cream) and maybe he should therefore leave.
