New Question It's said that part of the reason the noise of the new engines is because they are revving so low compared to the V8's. Why can we not increase the revs on the V6 Turbos? Would they simply generate to much power? I was thinking that myself, and see no flaw in the idea. Higher revs= hig...

Nurb 24 hours track? I know it would take 7 minutes or so, but I don't think you could make a circuit of 300km. Also, what's this about cutting down forests for the purpose of a race track. The environment would always be more important than racing.

A bit off topic, but the Red Bull ring was just released (this past wednesday) for Gran Turismo 6, in a DLC update. It looks and feels incredibly good and realistic, and the track surface is far, far from being new... kind of slipperly in those uphill right-handers, and feels like it lacks grip. ht...

Is this why people are being turned off by Formula One? Are the drivers turning into computer programs?

Is the track exactly the same?

I think C. Horner said that they altered a few corners, I'm not sure, though.

Ok thanks

Did anyone see the Rolex ad during the Le Mans 24hours on Eurosport? They showed a '14 Williams on board, but actually changed the sound to the old 2013 sound. Is that how bad people think it is? I don't think it deserves a change to the old noise tbh.

Grosjean: this is how not to take the corner, Maldonado!

About Mercedes and Ferrari doing sparking floors this weekend, wouldn't that hinder their pace? Ai'd say they would only lose minor time, but, with all that heat, sound and light energy converted from the kinetic energy, would it not lose them some amount of time?

I have a philosophy in sport in that one could get interested in any sport, apart from cricket, of course, if they decided to watch it and follow a particular team/athlete. Although, one cannot suddenly gain interest in it, although F1 is an exception to this (started watching it in 2012 and was imm...

Can someone explain to me when a driver needs to leave room, and when it is acceptable to 'close the door'? Yes, I still haven't got the hang of the nuances of this rule :blush: . The car in front is entitled to the racing line, although you can't just close the door when Perez has already committe...

There are more spectacles in a few games of football than in a season of F1. Wouldn't it be safer if they wore contacts instead? What's clear is that anyone who finds a lot of men in shorts wandering about a field for three hours a greater spectacle than the mere sight of an F1 car needs their eyes...

Is Formula 1 better than football?

The times would be more spread out. Take this scenario of two drivers going around a bend at 100mph, and then a bend at 50mph. If one of the drivers misses both apexes (apie?!) by 50cm and the other to hit them, then the time lost in the first bend would be less than the time lost in the second bend...

I say drop the simulators, and have more testing!

It's interesting that 99% of the time a driver gets credited for putting in a good lap when it counts – through the pit-stops to gain the advantage. I know a lot of the gain was pit-stops but Hamilton was that little bit quicker on top – not much, but enough. Unfortunately in this instance Hamilton...

As the newbie I am I'm just gonna jump into the thread and say it was def the best race so far this season. Exciting from the first to the very last lap. Even though I felt for Massa when he was so close to getting some reward for his hard work, and again was stopped by a crash (I'd rather just for...

But why would Mercedes stop Hamilton leaving the hot, turbulent air of Nico's Mercedes?

Schumacher forever#1

Could it be the same result as China, though? The track seems to have long straights and a few high speed turns, with some very low speed corners as well. I can't see Ferrari doing well here, but I said the same thing before China and Alonso finished on the podium.

Flying for me is a ghastly experience: the warm air, hot, cramped and smelly toilets. I would not be able to take the continual moving around, not in one's own home, little quiet time to do other things. Wonder why I'm not on any team's driver shopping list? Yeah, that's what I hate about flying. I...

Has anyone kept on the inside line in Canada before? We saw Nico do it through qualifying this year, but I don't remember seeing it before. I did it on F1 2013 today and it gained me at least a 0.1s, and although it's only a game, and I don't get the offline dust, but for a final lap of a quali run...

We still know nothing about his condition, let alone what the prognosis might be. We don't even know at which point he was judged no longer comatose.

Personally I believe as well educated Hartstein is, his blogs are still just speculation on the matter. He doesn't have access to Schumacher's case notes nor is he in contact with his medical team. He knows as much as the rest of us. I want to stay positive for Schuey. There has been some progress ...

It makes sense, but if the teams at the back were competitive enough to trade lower points finishes between them (so we have the likes of Torr Rosso, Sauber, Marussia and Caterham at similar levels), they would all be in a much better way financially.

I don't get it, though. Once, or if, Caterham find themselves to be a middle team, there will be a different team at the back struggling for finance. We'll never have every team being financially stable because there will always be that team at the back that, well, is at the back. I'm not sure if I'...

Sure Marrussia are better than Sauber, and I believe they are more financially stable as well.

Call me crazy, but as much as it might be more thrilling watching faster cars, I'd prefer an extra few minutes of racing instead. Other motorsports might be closing in, but you'd have to take in the law of marginal returns as well.
