I agree, I think today's cars are too sensitive to be able to do such a thing. I don't recall where I remember reading about this practice. It was in reference to either Mansell or Prost driving a Williams, if I'm not mistaken. I think Jacques introduced quit a bit of asymmetric tyre and suspension...

...Hamilton is a strange one to me, yes he has a similar early F1 career path comparing him to the Canadian. Lewis is blisteringly quick, and certainly has had opportunity to add to his WDC tally, but thanks to another Newey rocket-ship the opportunities haven't been the best. To me the Englishman ...

Surprised the Fangio Mercedes combination in 54 & 55 didn't make the list. I think he won 7 out of 12 races in the Mercedes. it is very odd that Fangio makes the list with Maserati where he got 7 wins in nearly 3 seasons but not Mercedes where he got 8 wins in 1.5. Maybe the 54 results got counted ...

I think the first time a pace/safety car was used in a F1 world championship event was probably actually indy 1950.

So basically Vettel is 3rd best in the history because for 5 of the 6 seasons (2009-2013) he has been in Formula 1 he's had championship contender (2009)/best car throughout the season (2010, 2012) dominant car (2011,2013)? Why not, Fangio ranks second because of 7 seasons, far less races and all o...

Lastly, concerning Ferrari 's veto power... can anyone show me where Ferrari has abused it? I find this article to be interesting and quite explanatory regarding the political power of Ferrari in F1 (besides getting the best slice of the money-cake): http://en.espnf1.com/ferrari/motorsport/story/10...

If they want to have a night race, do it Le Mans style. There is no point to have a "night" race if you light every part of circuit like it is noon. Night race means racing in darkness(at least similar to evening after sunset). Formula 1 cars with headlamps sounds good. However, if there is a conce...

I would think that Ferrari would want Kimi to be treated as early as possible so that he is fully fit for 2014 preseason even if he was not driving for Lotus.

I wouldn't touch a second hand G27, in my experience, having owned 3 of them they last between 2 and 3 years from new.Nice while they are working but the wheel position sensor is like the movement sensors on wheeled mice used to be and they fail.

doesn't any movement of a mass have a mass effect (gravitational effect) across the whole universe? So if you move a 30cm iron bar the effect is immediately felt 10 light years away. The mass on the universe creates a bit of background noise that makes the effect a little hard to detect as the signa...

The arguments in favour of the existence of extra-terrestrial species have been well rehearsed: An infinite number of stars, some with life-friendly planets equals a certainty of life existing elsewhere.

The last to sets of questions are really pretty odd but I had to strongly agree with "Ferrari is my preferred brand over other F1 Engine suppliers such as Mercedes and Renault."

I don't think it's an ex f1 safety car at all. The add just says "This model was the official Formula 1 safety car from 2008 - 2010." i.e. the CLK63 AMG Black Series was, not this car.

Why does is say Grosjean is Swiss? Grosjean was born in Geneva, Switzerland, he reportedly lived there all life, but for some reason he choose to race under French flag. Do you think that the reason could be that until 2007 motor racing was banned in Switzerland so when he was starting out getting ...

The opening post didn't specify whether the circuit had to be active, and the Keimola Motor Stadium is closer, but it hasn't been active in a long time.

Yeah, VDG would be faster than Vettel x( Please, "horrible" Massa loses 47 points to Alonso, while Webber loses 63. Difference comparable only to Raikkonen/Grosjean one. And that without Massa/Grosjean's DNF. Since everyone here agrees Webber is better than Massa/Grosjean, it follows Vettel's skill...

He already did fairly well with STR... then he moved to RBR where he did better. A bit like Senna to be honest (more than Lewis who often is compared here, and i've seen you do it too), in that he won a race (Senna did win 7 is it, but over 3 years) with a midfield car (Senna's Lotus was 3rd in WCC...

I would never buy Pirelli tyres again, last time I did the wheels would not stay balanced. If I left the car in the garage on a hot day I would have to get them rebalanced, never had that problem with any other tyres.
