What you’re saying is that grid, and other 'girls', project a negative stereotype which puts women off wanting to become involved in the sport: that’s about as valid an argument as saying airhostesses put females off wanting a careering in aerospace engineering – “I’d like to become an design engin...

I am struggling to understand your viewpoint though. You say you don't have a problem with prostitutes/prostitution as you live in a country where it is legal and yet you don't stand by the initial analysis of the grid girls as prostitutes? You also don't like to see F1 as objectifying women as sex...

I think the kids as mascots would be a great idea. :thumbup: Certainly works at football. Actually, you could flip that around...imagine football players walking onto the pitch escorted by women in short skirts and high heels...somehow that doesn't seem right to me.

All that said, I love the idea of having local kids to the job. They have young player mascots in football, why not in F1? Would certainly make the sport seem more accessible and family friendly. Be careful, someone on this forum might say that is child labour. ;) But seriously, that is a great ide...

Right, just to stir things up a bit more, here's some clarification on statements I have made. I believe grid girls, promo girls etc are a form of prostitution because they are receiving money for a job that has a primarily sexual tone - to wit, displaying their bodies knowing that they are being l...

The only reason I can see that he is not having more collisions this season is because the other drivers have no faith in his racing abilities and they not he avoid the contact . He lacks serious spacial awareness and appears to go into a zone where he forgets there are twenty odd cars on the same ...

Why can't they just alternate tracks every year? Like the first year would be India, second Korea, third Russia. Why would a country invest hundreds of millions in a circuit that's only going to be used once every 3 years? Because it would be better being used every 3 years rather than not at all l...

Im not sure many were watching that even with DRS Vettel was barely making up ground on Button in the DRS zone.

Vettel coming out behind Button has as much to do with McLaren improvement as it does the slower speeds in the pit lane which would have previously seen Vettel come out 3 seconds further down the road.

I'm going to ignore your "PS" message here....

DRS allowed Vettel to get close enough to Button to overheat his KERS, how is that useless?

fourearedfox

Well I guess people take a shining to an underdog situation as Lewis seems to have a long shot chance at closing the gap in the drivers championship. It'll require another DNF from Vettel in my opinion as we are yet to see whether these new tyres have benefited Merc more than most. It's a strange on...

for my two pence worth if a driver delibritly drives off track to gain a place penalty but in this case it just seems to me that he ran slightly and this was a raceing incident. even massa agrees that this was a undeserved penalty. its time the fia put a few stewards together with no conection to a...

Nico has won 2 races this year and a few pole positions which makes believe Merc have not treated him as badly. I see hamilton's tyre delamination in silverstone as a sign of merc favouring nico (/tongue in cheek) :thumbup: Why tongue in cheek? With the same logic that seems perfectly plausible :no...

Nope, first I truly noticed of him was running into the back of Mark 2007. Wasnt a good start as I was very much wanting Webber to win that race. 2008 was impressive, he had by far the most potential of the midfield for me, such as Hulk now.

I think the reduction of the speed limit has more to do with reducing the approaching speed of cars in the pits to cars pulling out of the pit boxes. Less speed means a softer impact should two cars collide in the pits which reduces the chances of the cars and bits of the flying into the mechanics....

fourearedfox

its fair, it not harsh The FIA messed up to by not implementing proper safety rules in the pitlane. This is not the first time a tyer has come off or a car overan its pit box, or a car took off with fuel nozzel still attached. The FIA at that time should investigated safety risks and hazards for al...

So now we play word games with the word "cheat". Mercedes was found in breach of the regulations, that is "cheating" in that they got an advantage over the other teams by violating regulations. Whether they did it in "good faith" or just denied culpability by putting the blame on Whiting, the resul...

Don't only complain when it is a driver you don't like doing it. They have all been in this boat at some point or another and they have all finished the race distance.

Very telling indeed.

F=mv. How heavy is a tyre? Taking the mass of almost the entire tire in the head could easily have broken his neck at that speed. Yeah, no. That's wrong, it should be F=ma or F= m dv/dt -written like that it means momentum = mass x velocity. The hell?? As I said, those pieces of rubber weren't a co...

So it has nothing to do with the fact that Pirelli don't have sufficient testing time to get the result they require, you think they are incompetent enough not to produce tyres that work properly under normal conditions?

I wont go into my views on the test or Mercedes because they are apparent in a number of threads. However, I will put this.
