Fuel this, exhaust that, power discrepancy(?) ... the engine is tiny compared to the others. "Hey Ades, what engine you want?" "The Renault," "But it's down on power" "But it's ducking tiny!!"

The RB8 had amazing one lap speed, ok, got that out of the way. Nando isn't the greatest qualifier but managed to out qual his team mate most of the year, Hamilton has some mad skills but is some time miss rather than hit. Vettel is the greatest qualifier on the grid, but it's been a while since we ...

Reverse grids are more artificial than DRS and degrading tyres. Sure it works in low formula to give a bit of action but it's not GP racing.

edit: 'bit' no longer bitch

As Angus said, MOOOOOOOOAR POWER. Probably updates to what moves it and how.

Except he's been asked to test the car and give his opinion. If the car was eating the tires, would he be lambasted for saying they need to sort the tires?

swillis

When does testing start?

Good wee clip, moving and inspiring.

Larger Redbull® as it is on the can.

Yeah, no modesty cover either.

EDIT: Meh, undone by shadows, wrong as $%$^.

Well since they don't do prototype racing any more it is the only single seater they make.

Another championship year, aka 2009.

Really looking forward to watching Mitch this year.

Bernie is amazing. He did such a great job of dragging manufacturers away from not so costly prototype racing so they could gherkin a few years away in the middle of the F1 pack. That was amazing. Changing fees after circuits have been started for new GPs at tax payers expense, that was truly amazin...

With Lewis' negotiations going on for so long and with Lewis rebuffing them so publicly, Mclaren were looking for a replacement for quite some time. Announcing the fruits of that search when a gap opened up is hardly a knee-jerk reaction. As for the car announcement, Mclaren are weird and make a new...

FA: I've told you already, you can't absorb my powers that way. You're destined to be Seb's bitch forever.

I love these threads of late, there's been heaps. Threads saying, we should revert rules changes and ditch technology that turned the yawn-fest back into something more exciting.

Races where the only passes that mattered were made in the pits were dull, even more so to the general populace.

Depends on the last time they had a bm and what kind of bm it was...

What was dirty, and thoroughly entertaining, was squeezing cry baby Boobins to with in inche of the pitwall.

The Renault/Nissan relationship is stronger than that. Renault purchased 45% of Nissan and they now share parts and tech. Hence the reason Renault's road cars have improved while Nissan's legendary reliability is now but a fable.

That said, I'd like a Jap manufacturer. Mazda, but if not, Nissan.

Started from the back as they didn't put enough go go juice in his car, ended up 3rd. Crashed to the back and managed to get back up to 7th. Two races, 38 passes ... hardly surprising.

Button counts. Team changed name AND hands, plus 'factory' support ceased.

hhmm.. lemme think ... who's got more wins and podiums than he does? Only Schumi, Prost, Senna and Mansell have more wins, and podiums, only Schumi and Prost. Nah, he'll never be a legend.

They only JUST lost out to a team spending $100 million+ more than them .... so no, not yet.

Never mind they're being out-spent now days, which hasn't always been the case.

The car 2012 car is based around a system that is banned next year and does *inaudible* all. It didn't give them the advantage they had hoped to see in qually, which isn't as important with DRS compared to the processional years before, and they made compromises elsewhere to fit the system. They've ...

Especially with F1 switching from the Beeb to Sky in the UK this year, and with it being such a huge bone of contention on here, will your relationship with your TV provider change after Sunday?

Fernando trouncing him for most of the season has really lowered his stock, but people forget, he's Felipe Massa. The dude who came second in the closet WDC in history, he's no slow poke.

If Seb has wrapped up the WDC the race before they'd be going nuts, but the seasons main goal is yet to be achieved.

It's quiet because only us anorak wearing fervent fans care about what's considered the lesser championship to the general public.
