People saying it's safe enough and the drivers choose to race are really being incredibly selfish, or stupid!

Pathetic.

Like every other change over the past 5 decades that changed the sport forever I guess!!!!!!

An F1 car has simply no significant similarities to the sports beginning, but so what.

Move with the times people.

I think it could look pretty cool. It's just a big change but in time we'll look back and wonder why it took so long for such things to be used.

Any issue with rain is not an issue. They don't have wipers of their helmets!

I'd pick Helen Skelton. Real adventure girl and seems to have a fun personality.

Asphalt_World

I am very happy. This could be a masterful idea. I've seen him interviewed a few times recently and he's got a fun personality. There is no point trying to hire people that are carbon copies of the previous three presenters. It is sounding fresh and interesting. Of course there will be people moanin...

The regular feathering of the throttle and brake pedal is fantastic to watch. Just shows how they don't simply hit the brake before the corner and bang that accelerator to the floor on exit. There is a reason F1 coverage uses a bar chart style of graphic to show pedal use. Being able to actually see...

It is such a shame that so much of the driver in hidden. In closed LMP cars, although you can see the driver going much from outside, there is plenty of room inside the cockpit for a variety of cameras which show the drivers working incredibly hard. In the future, if F1 cars do become completely cov...

I love the knowledge people have on the relative safety of the proposed ideas. Do many people on this thread actually work for companies that are designing these possibilities?

Asphalt_World

I can remember the complaints from media and fans alike when the high sided cockpits were introduced in 1996. It was seen as a tragedy but we could never allow drivers to be as exposed as they were before then. Things change: if they do end up with some kind of over the head protection, we'll all be...

It's not about how many trees are cut down at Monza compared to the world as a whole. Cars running at speed is what makes Monza so special, just like Le Mans.

As long as the F1 cars don't have to use the alteration.....

Asphalt_World

Avoiding the obvious areo problems, a steering wheel with no controls would be great. If the greatest drivers can adjust engine modes and brake balance to avoid the need for them to actually use their skill to drive around a slightly miss performing / handling car, there's something seriously wrong.

Asphalt_World

Whilst there are things I like about F1, there's nothing I can immediately think of that I like because it's not in other types of motorsport. That's quite a worry really!

The Ferrari logo on the wheel nut is a bit suspicious.

14 turns in 1.2 miles. Have I read that correctly?

Asphalt_World

You made me wonder, since it is a kit car series, I suppose you can't call it a formula in the first place. I think you can - it's just that the formula is very strict. Compare it to F4 or F3 (speed aside, of course :) ). It's been years since I've been able to watch the Indycars on the telly, but ...

get rid of DRS and make them work for the overtake again and let the skill show why did it come in to the sport in the first place , I know it was for more overtaking , but its made it look silly Perhaps because there was hardly any overtaking? Which could be resolved with changes to the aero rules...

After 30 years + of watching F1 (and hardly ever missing a race) I have finally admitted to myself that it is now so boring time has come to keep watching yet another season. The Senna/Prost years at McLaren were fantastic but the dominance of Mercedes the past few sessions, with no prospect of chan...

Asphalt_World

Stunning, really really stunning. Just got back from watching it and I thought it lived up to the hype and possibly eclipsed it. Anyone that goes to see this kind of film expecting to see multiple oscar winning acting, music, costumes etc is barking up the wrong tree. However, what the film does is ...

I don't blame the BBC for not moving F1 on in a way some fans want. I blame Bernie. It still staggers me how poor the coverage is on the beeb or Sky compared to coverage of MOTO GP and other leading car series across the world. The lack on high tech cameras on cars is staggering. It's pathetic consi...

Formula E must be breathing again, If ITV got F1 back, it could harm the image the channel is trying to build with FE

Asphalt_World

The BBC in its prime was full of sport, but we only had a choice of three channels back then, It's hardly surprising that they have had to cut back so much. It's a big shame but inevitable.

People moan about the BBC all the time, but they will miss it when it gets smaller and smaller.

Asphalt_World

I don't see them quitting any time soon, however, the constantly rising profile of Sports Car racing could be a sensible alternative.

If Ferrari entered that as a full factory team, the profile of the sport would rocket.

Chromecast 2. Stunning bit of kit.

I'm hearing rumours that Trump had called Katie Hopkins a respected British journalist! Surely that's not true

Asphalt_World

May I just say that as a non American, I don't hold Donald Trump as a typical representation of your countries people.

I would never buy the app. The sport is ridiculously wealthy, yet us normal fans have to pay silly money for an app. It's a disgrace.

F1 is also a no aero, manual gearbox with clutch, multi engine configuration sport if you want to play that game!

Always worth pointing out that Cameron said in October that Russia's bombing of Syria would cause more terrorist attacks!

Asphalt_World

Minchy, don't be so sensible. It's not the governments policy to be sensible so why should you or I? We should be violent and insulting to one another. Oh, and act before thinking is also a great Tory policy.

Asphalt_World

David Cameron has branded all those voting against military strikes in Syria as terrorist sympathisers and is refusing to retract that comment. It is simply staggering that he can get away with this comment, even if you believe that the UK should take heavy military action. Well done to all those th...

This thing about needing to be in line axle to axle should be irrelevant. Whilst I'm not saying the nose of the car being in line with the rear wing of the other car gives them right of way, being roughly alongside should be enough and we simply have to trust the drivers a stewards to make the call ...

Asphalt_World

I agree it's a good stat.

Asphalt_World

That's fine. I won't lose sleep. Tis frustrating when people ignore one post to bolster their point about another though. Not really how forums should work imo.

Never mind!

Note to self. I must gen up on what constitutes rudeness. It's clearly altered a lot recently.....

Asphalt_World

It's a worry that next year's cars will have similar power to this year, but more grip. They will be even easier to drive.

Asphalt_World

Was it also helps by running with DRS twice on that lap?

Asphalt_World

But it's not simply about an outside pass. Sometimes you are being overtaken by someone going up the inside. You take the corner side by side but the issue driver forces you off. Imo, 2 cars side by side should always have to give each other a card width, regards of the corner and who's trying to pa...

Asphalt_World

I feel this has been discussed quite frequently this year so perhaps a thread was in order. Today's race again highlighted something that I think it a blight on the sport at the moment. It would appear that a driver on the inside of a corner is seemingly allowed to run out wide on the exit of the co...
