He just had great passion for it and it came through in his commentating.

Winners of season openers not winning the WDC (Since 1990) 2010 - Alonso (Vettel world champion) 2005 - Fisichella (Alonso world champion) 2003 - Coulthard (Schumacher world champion) 1999 - Irvine (Hakkinen world champion) 1997 - Coulthard (Villeneuve world champion) Interestingly, between 1979-19...

Too close.


Ps. His first name is "Jean-Eric" and his last name is "Vergne", not "Jean" "Eric-Vergne".

When it's recently stopped raining and you deliberately drive on the drying line on the road.

I enjoy the fact that because he didn't beat Hamilton, Lewis cut the corner to gain an advantage, as well as there being supposed worn parts on the car. People shouldn't get worked up/disappointed about Top Gear Test Track times. Barrichello has the record, for crying out loud!

18-20 races is optimal. I don't want too many races, because there is risk of getting bored. Like after the race start and just before the first pitstops? F1 is more boring in some races than watching a film 3 times, I often go and make the dinner after the start and then sit down whilst it cooks t...

I don't have the link unfortuantly. But the general gist is that Charlie whiting is allowed to turn drs off if he deems the conditions are too bad in the wet... Personally I don't get why the rule has Ben introduced as that was the rule in the first place wasn't it. Views guys. And if anyone can fi...

http://gfx1.fdb.pl/6v8d0m/592x0.jpg Head..lol :D who's head is that mean't to be? I wonder if it's a scene from earlier in Hunt's career? Perhaps Cevert? I noticed a smashed up car with a blue rear wing in one of the other photos... But I thought the film was focusing on the Lauda/Hunt battle only?...

Lewis Hamilton has revealed that Monaco will be his new place of residence for the 2012 season, with the McLaren driver explaining that the time he spent in Switzerland was 'a bit boring'.

Sheer coincidence, i'm sure.

Malaysia this year. My first ever after many years of following the sport! Should be a cracker. Sitting at T1 :D To anybody that's been there before, Friday is a "free entry" day and you're allowed to go anywhere you want. I intend on ending up on a hill at some point and i have a telescopic pole an...

There is little point to sandbagging, really. If the team was a second faster than the rest of the field, I think we might have seem glimpses of it in the last three tests.

Unfortunately, it doesn't count Magical Mystery Tour as an album

Problem with The Beatles is that they had a lot of fantastic songs, but not many of them on the same album.

No.

Don't have a whole lot against customer cars, but perhaps limit it to only the car and no aid during the season. In 2011, it'd have been a Red Bull-Toro Rosso borefest.

Toro Rosso, for me. The two were partnered briefly at the end of 2010 in 3.5, but had completely different class of machinery the following year. They're both super quick and super determined. Both of them have very different personalities, as well. Ricciardo is open and friendly, whereas Vergne see...

Taken a drastic step back with the front wing, apparently.

High-res one of the Red Bull at Barcelona.

Unexciting. Looks under-developed (which it probably is).

WOW..! 8O Thats a great picture for comparison, showing how F1 has evolved just like man becoming more complex. I understand the theory alittle better now behind the clutch sytem. Still amazes me the complexity behind the engineering.. just mind boggoling! Did F1 cars have reverse gear at any point...

Never happened on the old forum!

Ah, yes. This is the PF1 I remember!

dont take it too seriously

I don't know if that's strictly true. There are drivers who are friends, they just don't necessarily go to restaurants with each other and try to screw up each others' dates.

When commenting about the current grid, can we really include Schumacher as one of the best in the sport? Perhaps he was once, but he's been beaten by Rosberg two years in a row now.

Driver fan.

A bit off topic, but is there a limit to the size of a signature image? The OP and Blinky above almost seem to be having a laugh.

Another year, same threat. It's getting ridiculous.

It's largely just something people like to use against him, because some will agree for the sake of agreeing. McLaren didn't just put him in the car because he was British, they put him in the car because they believed he had proved he could perform at a high level. It was a huge risk placing a rook...

I imagine, although I cannot say for certain, that he means in a higher level of competition. I don't think he's going to spend his whole career in F1 hating everybody around him. I'd speculate he means when you're fighting for a title against somebody. It's a reasonable comment; Vettel didn't go o...

Hmm. I wonder if I should be the first person to pull out the old line "This is an F1 forum!!!!"

I would definitely say no The car was poor and if he had not of died, Williams wouldn't of went crazy and fix everything up and made it better ASAP They perhaps made the car safer, yes, but they put extra effort into making the car faster because Senna was killed? I find it highly unlikely. I've al...

Throw 'em all in here!

I'll start it off with perhaps the most beautiful sound in recorded history.
