Wonder if they will change the rules so they can reduce the number of laps in Singapore, a race which has always been between 1:56 to 2:00, with 2012 running over

Note: This has not been posted in the in-depth section because I am not looking for an in-depth answer, before either a moderator or user jumps on me. I have been meaning to post this thread for a while. A while ago, LH was stating somethings that would be the same for next year, and one of the thin...

Red Bull could trial developments on Toro Rosso cars

I knew there was some kind of homologation system. Nothing for 2017 though?

Mike_69

I guess I must be one of the few people who isn't bothered by this. My immediate thought was disbelief, but once I thought it through I don't think it's all bad. Most arguments against it seem to fit into either or all of three broad categories, Artificial, Gimmicky, and 'The Good Old Days'. F1 is ...

Possibly 13 car with 14 engines? Pure guess though

Mike_69

No surprise that Bernie originally cracked this idea. However it means that even say if one guys car was suited to only that track, while the other teams car was suited to more tracks, if the race came down to a last race decider, the man who had a better car etc could lose because of one racetrack ...

Guys that question was posted in March 2012

Mike_69

Although Rosberg was consistent, i would say it was only because he had a stellar end to the season. His season has not been terribly consistent in that he has not consistently scored the maximum points the car has allowed him to, which was the case for the first half. Therefore, although he appears...

2011 stood out, the races were usually either boring or great. Loads of great races, Germnay, China, Suzuka to name a few

Ok I will start one:

I tried but recently, after having not played for a long time, they said i must update the game. When i tried to update the game i couldn't because of the discontinuation of something. I would otherwise but sadly codemasters have prevented me from doing so, I can't even play the game without the pat...

Chris Amon is considered the best driver to not win an f1 race, or if by the end of his career he doesn't win a race, Hulkenberg will run him close for that crown

Mike_69

Sequence 1. Lotus 2. Renault F1 3.Benetton 4.Toleman ? Connection: They all won their first title 4 years after their f1 debut: Alonso- Debut 2001, 1st title 2005 Rosberg- Debut 78, Title 82 Hill- Debut 92, title 96 OR Connection: They all won titles after scoring 0 points in their first season (Alo...

Mentions of Alonso i Hungary, only a few tenths speed difference. If you think that was good, then Button v Vettel in Hungary must be a contender,

Mike_69

Does anyone watch I'm a Celeb here. Thoughts on this years competition?

Mike_69

Although this might not be your one, one connection is that the both drove for Mclaren for only 1 year

Mike_69

Here are a couple of puzzles: I'll update them daily until someone guesses correctly Teaser Sequence 1. Lotus 2. 3. 4. Toughie Connection 1. Keke Rosberg 2. Fernando Alonso 3. 4. When you say lotus, is that the classic team lotus of the 70s, or the Lotus of today? Or for that matter Team Lotus (Now...

Mike_69

I agree with the Hulk notion. First half of race he kept Alonso behind him, then jumped Hamilton and kept them both behind him. Even was smart enough to let Hamilton ahead, then used drs and kers to take the place back again. Impressive! Keeping a car behind in Hungary is not so impressive...it is ...

Mike_69

Weird how two such obscure things match up, I also think we need to get a bit more of this going, great thread but nobody is posting on it

Mike_69

I would say since Britai, only Hamilton was keeping them at bay (Won at hungary, comfortably leading by his own admissions in Britain, and he's not one to talk postively)

Mike_69

I think people criticise Maldonado too much. There was very few, if any (sorry if ive forgotten any) crashes that he was at fault in, and people are just going by his 2012 season, where he was very much hit and miss. Even though Bottas got more points overall, Maldonado was constantly challenging fo...

I read somewhere the percentage of the engine each year that will be frozen out.
I think it is 5% straight away and then increases to 95% in I think 2018, however i can't remember the source, may have been autosport.

Mike_69

Sequence
1) 2007: 3
2) 2008: 6
3) 2009: 2
4) ???

Got it

The amount of races in which there was rain
Therefore the answer would be 2010: 5
Australia, China, Turkey, Belgium and one other which I have forgotten

Mike_69

CORRECTION:
Now that I have seen clue 4, I am wrong

Mike_69

Is the Sequence
What is fourth in this sequence?
1. Red Bull, Belgium 2013
2. McLaren, USA 2012
3. Red Bull, Singapore 2012
4. ?????

Red Bull Britain 2012?
Races that were won from P2 on the grid?

Vettel Spa
Hamilton USA
Vettel Singapore
Webber Britain?

Mike_69

This is the problem with f1, Bernie is so impartial that he may have made his mark upon many rulings(i.e Ferrari favouritism in the early 2000s)

Mike_69

Well considering how Calado was mathematically in the hunt till the final round this year, I think he will do it next year. It is to be remembered that Calado had a damaged chassis that was not detected for a number of rounds.

Mike_69

Last year there was a huge difference between the clean and dirty sides, the commentators have hardly commented on it this year, so I am wondering will it be as bigger factor as last year?

Mike_69

I found it interesting that the circuit for Le Mans is only grade 2, and even that has few gravel traps, the FIA probably want them all removed.

Mike_69

I quite admire Hamilton's admission that he has been under performing. In a world of very corporate drivers it's good to see someone be very emotionally honest. My opinion of him as a person really rose. However his current form has to be a worry. This is the third season in a row where Lewis has h...

Tyres. If you push with these Pirellis you ruin them quickly. This. Hamilton already driving on Bridgestones in 2010 was complaining many times about tyres on the radio, eventhough they were fine, but his feeling of peak grip wasn't there anymore after numerous attempts to pass (Kubica in Abu Dhabi...

Mike_69

Its a theme I have thought of recently. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Hamilton fan but this year his overtaking, especially when having DRS is not as good as it use to be IMO. I know in India he was running a little more rear wing but apart from Hungary, I personally feel that he does not overtake as mu...

Leaving the team before the end of the season ,i.e Hamilton to Mercedes, Raikonnen to Ferrari

He quite often did better than De La Rosa in races, just that he was not particuraly great at qualifying. Im sure that if, hypothetically, you had LH and JB at HRT last season, because JB would outqualified more often he would be considered so, even if he did outrace Lewis more often.

Mike_69

Shocking decision, there are rules but then there is also spirit. They've pretty much killed off his korean race through a harmless incident

Mike_69

They are considering a twilight or full night race, but their not sure which. They say that because of the changes they wont be holding the season opener.
Also their doing it for the 10th anniversary of the grand prix. Special race to be celebrating!
