Re: 100 Thing you learnt during the 2011 F1 Season

49.

Re: Alguersuari to commentate!

Why didn't they get Chandok? His mind seems like an encyclopaedia of F1 knowledge, always was great listening to him on free practice sessions as he really does know his stuff :) Yes, Chandhok was excellent. If they made the decision not to use him it's a big gamble. Chandok gets :thumbup: for his ...

Is it just me or does Felipe look taller and a bit rotund here?
My first though also. His face looks round a globe. He is becoming a bit chubby. Maybe.

Re: Best hamilton Win And Why

Most of his wins were epic, and this is not coming from Hamilton's fan. Think of USA 2007 where he just stormed away from Alonso who was not able to match him, a true rookie at that time, in a very same machinery, Japan 2007, Monaco 2008, Silverstone 2008 - you name it. And the list goes on...

Re: Lotus thread

Looks like we have a seriously improved Lotus team over the last year that looks like a TOP team. Scoring nearly always top times with both Grosjean and Raikkonen, it's easier now to predict that Lotus will be one of the surprises of 2012.

Re: What was it about F1 that hooked us in to love the sport

I watched a bit's of Monaco GP in 1980 as an 8 year boy, and remembered how Pironi lead. I also occasionally heard of F1 and heard names as Depailler, Reutemann, Andretti, Fittipaldi, Giacomeli, among which Niki Lauda was by far biggest name at m place. Than, between 1981 and 1982 they started to se...

No, he didn't. I researched about the picture and found out that picture was showing an actual collision between them at Watkins Glen, whereby Nilsson had to retire.

To be fair I think Button looked like a very good driver in a very bad car for much of his career.

Now take Massa for example...he was a crazy driver ...

Friendships in F1

Just came across this thought by Vergne which disappointing me a lot:

"...for me it is inconceivable that you can be friends with someone that you want to beat."

Really? How could than generations and generations of drivers be good friends in the past?

Something seriously smells bad in modern F1.

Re: Why do people complain Lewis started his career with McL

I think he comes as arrogant many times and when you combine this to starting straight from the top it just makes him an easy target for hate. He has had had a crappy car once and even that year McLaren managed to turn it to a winner. This is what many Hamilton fans forget. IMHO, he is more arrogan...

It's a history, it's how it happened. Hamilton fans would always ask what's wrong with that, and those that are not fond of him would point to path of others... and it will happen all over again as long as Hamilton is in F1. I see no point in discussion. It was Team Mclaren's good foresight to take ...

The only options beyond 2012 he possibly might have would be Lotus or Williams.
