Re: Why does Force India always take time to decide its Line
Haha, they should just do a "Stig" and have someone continually walk around in his helmet so no one knows who he is... then in Barcelona just be like. "Oh, by the way, this is our second driver... Nissany, say hello." Though an interesting idea in theory, there's absolutely no way people wouldn't r...

Re: Why does Force India always take time to decide its Line
Force India to announce the second driver "before Barcellona". So, the second driver will miss the first test. Ridicoulous. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they meant the second driver was missing the first four races Haha, they should just do a "Stig" and have someone continually walk arou...

Like I said in another thread, I think the GP2 champion should get an automatic contract for winning the title, and promoted to F1. I don't know how it would work, but they should get rewarded for it. It must be annoying to win a title, and then 3-4 drivers who you've just beaten get F1 race seats. ...

You can tell it is a high nosed car because the top of the cockpit is level with the top of the wheels, like on the RB8 and other high nosed cars of 2012.
