Couldn't resist this bump

Why did nobody from the sky commentary team mention that there is a dust storm blowing that instantly makes a brand new set of softs look old and creates a looky likey "dry line" on the track? Are they afraid it will reveal the truth that Baku is a crap circuit even without the dust? What do I know ...

No disrespect to Haas, or any other team with dirty Russian money on their sponsor payroll but it's different now, if you can't compete without Russian money then it is encumbent opon you to withdraw your entry into the F1 world championship! Us true fans don't want you.

A personal demand, I hope you don't disagree?

Unequivocally yes.

I'm sorry for Haas, but all connection with Russia terminated immediately, uralkali out, mazepin out, Ferrari... Kaspersky out... all Russian connection out of our sport..... Now... Immediately ...

Sorry, I couldn't resist this, its almost 18 years since I joined this Forum and this thread is my baby, times have changed massively, f1 has gone quiet, not quite FE quiet but good to see Mr Button still involved in motorsport at electric level!

It's been a creeping problem though, little by little getting worse, the FIA solution is pretty clear, a massive reg change! What I don't get completely is why it's got so prevalent in the last 2 years when it worked so well for so long? I guess the sidepod aero is extremely complex again, more than...

Hi folks, been a while, hoping I can turn to some true F1 fans for some opinion! I'm a bit bothered by the increasing instance of slowing, blocking, finding space in Q1 & 2, For a format that worked very well until recently it's become the normal at most tracks not just the likes of Monza where it w...

Had mine booked for a week or two, I'm taking my daughter for her 21st birthday, she was 4 the first time I took her to a GP, but until we went to Spa in 2019 she hadn't been to a race since Silverstone 2009, now she's a massive fan, thanks in part to George and Lando and Charles being a similar age...

The gates of the F1 pitlane in heaven are being held open by Ayrton and Niki and the Guard of honour includes Jim, Tazio, Giles, Manuel, Jocken....., bless you Murray, few people in life will never be forgotten but you are on that exclusive list ❤

Awww no idea whether this will refresh but worth a try, our sport has changed a lot but its no less lovable, is there a magic max thread?? PeteF1 my friend, you still out there?

I would have been happy to see more from this partnership between Ferrari and Vettel, for whatever reasons it hasnt happened, shame...

I'm getting super excited about going to Spa in a few days, last time I went Jenson did pole, win, fastest lap, Grosjean earned a ban and me and my son Laurence bought the orange McLaren winners shirts, think we might be mistaken for Max fans this year cos I'm defo wearing mine, the boys outgrown hi...

The ones you see when looking down the straight are the Alps. Quite a walk away! Cheers Asphalt_World, good observation old friend, I wasn't proposing to nip up and down between sessions though, I've been into the alps in Switzerland and France but the TV makes them look like foothills, but I guess...

Hello forum, I haven't been around for few years now but I've been a member for a long time and I'm still a massive F1 fan, my question is can you walk up those beautiful tree clad hills that surround Monza like you can in the English lake district for example? They look fabulous. I'm thinking a wee...

I look at this from the perspective of a motocrosser as well as a lifelong F1 fan, our tracks in motocross are defined by posts and tapes rather than white lines and if you take a corner on the wrong side of the post to make a pass on a competitor you've short cut the corner and effectively cheated,...

One thing I'm certain of is all teams will have been scrutinising the new formats rules so in Bahrain hopefully so many wont be caught not getting out of the pits in time for their second or third flying laps, I expect they'll be a little more prepared so this time around (said with fingers crossed)...

The opening minutes of Q1 showed some promise but that soon turned to disappointment when it became obvious that by the time the 90 second clock started it was already too late for the slowest 2 drivers to react and each successive driver fell into the same trap, it caught everybody except Palmer bu...

I'll take pleasure in being the first to post in the Magic Button thread in 2014 and make it officially a decade old, if I recall correctly I started it in answer to the "Magic Trulli" thread following their heroics in the Monaco GP of 2004, it had a lean year in 2013 by the look of it but that's pe...

If Booth is telling the truth and there was no mechanical malfunction driver error is the only other explaination.

So is that Marussia trying to claim that it was her fault or that nothing broke on the car to cause the crash (AKA the anti-stall kicked in) Marussia are not saying its her fault, they are simply saying its not the cars fault, which narrows the scope of responsiblity a little but not by much, its s...

First I'd like to say I hope Miss De Vilotta makes a full recover and the facial injuries talked about dont spoil her attractive appearance, that would be an extra blow for her. Yes because without being able to drive an F1 car and then not being as attractive as before what would be the point in l...

Pete!! Long time no login.. How's tricks? Nice piece of homage to the old days :thumbup: Hello buddy!! I've been meaning to dig our your email. How the hell are you? You going to Silverstone this year? I hope to Pete, didn't go last year due to several major reasons, its always the plan though! wha...

With all the talk of the gaps between teams being vastly reduced and team principals talking of surprises in the early races is 2012 going to be the year the drivers come to the fore??
Maybe this is the best year for a while to rank the drivers in ability??
