I still remember when people complained about Michael Schumacher when Juan Montoya tried to pass him around the outside of Tosa in Imola in 2004. They called Schumacher a dirty driver for that and now here is Max doing a worse version of it and now it's okay to do such a thing and it's good racing!...

I also place Mario on the top pedestal. I first met Mario in 1974, while I was messing around with a F5000 team at Mosport. it was an exceptionally busy weekend, with both F5000 and Can-Am running back-to-back. On Saturday morning I had a few spare moments, and decided to sit on the pit wall ( a pe...

This yet again shows why concrete run off is awful. Put concrete there and Vettel skips across and we have none of this fun. Having grass and gravel to punish mistakes creates drama and should be seen as absolutely essential. I so completely agree, but in a racing series were talk of eliminating tr...

Mario Andretti is a GOD and if I ever meet him, I will bow to him until he tells me to stop...

Couldn’t help read the articles and comments about this race since the article titles all had “Controversial” splattered on them and the comments all read along the lines of “RIP F1”.

I guess I have to watch this race

I won’t ever get used to the halo. Ever. Not for a lack of trying, either. I just cannot STAND LOOKING AT IT.

Has anybody else been watching this? It's really good. Shows the depth of Mclaren's issues with Honda. They couldn't even get the engine to fire up for an in house demo. Yeah I watched the whole lot in one night. Whilst the original idea was to concentrate on Stoffell, I found myself fast forwardin...

I don't think I've ever said this online before and I have no idea how it'll be received, but here goes. This may be oversharing but it's relevant to the discussion.

Wish I had more time to give to this thread.. sadly '18 was not a great year for female racing drivers. I'll look into who may be on the cards for '18 but any heads-ups from the forum would be appreciated. Last year, Brittany Force won the NHRA Top Fuel title, which was the first time a woman won t...

I doubt Ferrari would leave. Unlike their showroom competition, grand prix racing is in Ferrari's DNA. It's not just what Ferrari are and have always been, it's what they sell. They have more competition in the hypercar arena than ever before, and being a top F1 team is a big marketing advantage tha...

1998- Incredible performances from Schumacher, a new star is born in Mika, title fight down to the wire. 2000- Because SCHUMI!!!! :D First Ferrari WDC since 1979. Also, the great battles with Mika and DC, and some great performances from drivers further down the grid, like Villeneuve, Frentzen, and ...

Without question. Schumacher would have won both (assuming he didn't get injured in a crash or something), especially 2007 considering Kimi, Alonso, and Lewis would have been in new environments and they would all have to adjust to the Bridgestones, even Schumi but of course he had so much experienc...

Maybe they should have done what Road America does with their kinks. For example, the kink after turn 2 is called "2A", and the kink after turn 11 is called "11A".

Maybe call Austria's kink "1A"?

Whatever the outcome irrespective of telemetry, videos, opinions, facts etc. I somehow doubt ANYONE on this board is gong to say,"OK I accept that as a final ruling". Furthermore whatever the result of the WDC people will say it was decided by an FIA ruling! no one will even care. Does an...

Transformers 5: The Last Knight... Insane, stupid, ridiculous, moronic, silly, explosion filled madness... I enjoyed it... 3.5/5 This whole franchise tears me up inside.

I completely agree. Furious 7 was the best movie to end the franchise on. It made the most money, and the farewell to Paul Walker at the end was epic.

The biggest improvement to this game would have to come from Liberty Media's end: A much more flexible license. It's the biggest hurdle CM has right now. There's so many things we want that they also want but can't do because of license restrictions. Bernie was always so strict on that (probably for...

A very sad day now that Ron Dennis is completely out of Mclaren. I would dearly like to know what caused the rift between himself and Ojjeh. Dennis made the team and company what it is today, and i find it astonishing at how he was ousted. He also played a big part in shaping how F1 is today, as fa...

I can't wait to see the size of the budget.

Part of me hopes it will be $1 billion purely because I'm curious what the other manufacturers will say about that.

I totally expected a Penske domination, but was very happy to see Dixon do so well. Nobody could touch him, it was remarkable. I was at the race and hadn't ever been at this track before. It's an amazing place, if any of you can go, please make the time to visit. Simply fantastic. Yep, Road America...

100% agree. Vettel should have been excluded. They still could exclude him retroactively, I suppose. Although since that would have the effect of putting the championship at a dead heat, I have no doubt the cry of 'FORMULA ONE IS A FIXED SPORT' would go high and loud if they did so. That would only...

It was fair. It was one step below disqualification, and I certainly don't think Vettel should have been disqualified for that.

SnakeSVT2003

He was penalized. He didn't get away with it, so it's fine. He should have owned up to it, though.

SnakeSVT2003

What is actually meant by the fast lane though? Presumably it means in the pit (as if stopped for tyres) - sounds like one of those stupid rules F1 has tries to prevent teams from getting the cars back out on track... The fast lane is the main lane in the pits (the smaller lane, the stripe of blue ...

Come on, man. This thread wasn't necessary. Getting so worked up over nothing... I will say this, though. I like the guns you have. Nice color, too.

What about the "monster"? Nobuhiro Tajima, the Pikes Peak master I was about to mention him. The first to break the 10-minute barrier on Pikes Peak (even if the road was mostly paved by then, he was still the first to do it). I think this run from the 90's is what I'll remember most, thou...

It would be suicidal to defend that way at 230 mph.
