Underneath it is essentially the same car, it has the same chassis number. If you took your road car and stuck loads of bits on it it would still be the same car. The same car with bits added on or taken away. By such a comment it is crystal clear you know even less than you or anyone else on PF1 e...

the incubus

I may be being pedantic but it wasn't a different car. If the suspension had been completely different or the chassis then yes it would have been. But it was just aero parts. In fact it just looked to be a new rear wing set up. The car the bring to the next test will likely be a totally different c...

So because you are a fan of someone means you cannot be a fan of someone else? That's reeeal mature. I am an avid Michael Schumacher fan, but I LOVE Prost, Senna, Piquet, Mansell, Hamilton, Alonso, Barrichello, Massa, Vettel, Webber, Kimi, JV, and a slew of countless others over the decades. As for ...

Schuberth Helmets were said to cost $12,000, Arai $7,500 and Bell about $5,600. This is not including paint and graphics which is usually commissioned by private artists and they tend to use between 12 - 16 each season in the name of safety as it is difficult to tell if any damage was caused to the ...

It wasn't so much that he disliked Senna, it was more the case of he couldn't and didn't want to be bothered by his whining and crying while at the same time exercising such ruthlessness on track. In certain aspects, Senna was a bit of a hypocrite. Advocating for increased safety while pulling downr...

Not a good way to start my week after a long and arduous weekend that still hasn't ended.

Sorry for your loss DC. These things are never easy and certainly at such a young age with so much life left ahead makes it all the more difficult to accept.
Stay strong David.

the incubus

That's because you don't have the type of sense of humor to understand his humor. Piquet is a sly fox with one helluva sense of humor. I mean, the sheer brilliance behind "THE BEST STRAIGHT BRAZILIAN DRIVER" gag was genius for many reasons. It tiddled off Senna and got Piquet in his head and it prov...

While pretty darn cool, the application of comic book cell art is not a new thing. Back a few years ago Lazering on Paintball gun finishes became the thing to do and one guy paid out the whazoo to have this done to his $1500 gun… http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/5136/roy1vr0.jpg http://img172.imag...

FI Nose from the front kind of resembles a narrow Tiger Shark. too bad they're nowhere near as good or efficient. LOL http://f1.imgci.com/PICTURES/CMS/17500/17508.jpg And that livery… I think they need a new one already. It's been hideous since they debuted this version. Colors are great but they ne...

That FI Jack Man really got launched it seems and those orange Pirellis look nice… Or is it that damn car???!?!?!?!?

If you want to analyze sandbagging I'd have to say no one has done it to a greater degree than Red Bull the last 3 seasons. During Friday practice they start out seemingly quick and then everyone else goes quite a bit faster by the end of the sessions. Then come Qualy and they are a good bit faster,...

the incubus

Wow, I think that's a bit of a stretch. Red Bull are a top team and though they may not be poised to dominate the way they did in 2011, they will be a force to be reckoned with. Vettel is an Elite Driver and Webber not too far off. Horner is pretty sharp and Newey and his army of engineers are alway...

the incubus

Notice I didn't say anything in regards to development. I was analyzing Nico's own performance throughout complete race distances. He tends to start out strong and hangs on to high places quite well, at times even coming close to setting fast laps and then by the midway point his own performance dim...

testing.. testing... testing. All you experts who said Massa was a brilliant driver and only decided to show up 5 minutes before the end of last year... I'll step up to the plate on that last bit. I have ALWAYS supported Felipe and have ALWAYS spoken highly of him and have ALWAYS said he is very fa...

the incubus

Piquet has such a knack for saying just the right things. LOL

the incubus

Thanks but I am well aware of all you just wrote. I think you misunderstood me. I know Nelson rates himself higher, as do I. What I was saying is that Mansell, unlike anyone else who's head Piquet tried to mess with, drove better and more focussed when he was tiddled. Piquet being the ever clever gu...

If you're trying to get me all hot and bothered… Too Late! already changed my underwear several times over the last 2 days!

So they're adverts for a Ford Fusion car? After the first I thought it was a new seniors series or something. I love the way they seldom had them in the same shot, as if they could hardly bear to be in the same room together. It was only a few years ago Piquet snr called Mansell's sons 'nincompoope...

the incubus

I agree on them points, can't say I've ever said anything bad about Nico and have always thought he was an excellent driver. Will be great to see what he is like against a younger WDC. I don't know but for some reason, while Nico is a good driver, he's been steadily falling into a pattern not so un...

McLaren will probably change livery when Vodafone leaves at the end of 2013. New rules, new sponsor and new era most likely. As for that Marussia, it looks like it was designed in five minutes flat by someone on the back of a napkin. Just so bland. The Caterham looks like an F1 car, the Marussia lo...

Johnston, perhaps you'd like to see something different but many of us LOVE the scheme just fine. That Chrome paint is simply blindingly superb any way you slice it. I prefer that Johnny Walker version with all the gradation throughout but the ones the last few years are beautiful as well. McLaren r...

Looks quite a bit similar to last year's McLaren nose. They nee...

the incubus

If this year's Williams look as good as last year's car with the modesty panel, we will have to throw them into the mix.

So far looking REALLY good!

the incubus

RB9 is just a SLIGHT evolution of last years car and the front is pretty much identical. no modesty panel. just the same step with an intake slot for who knows what. LOL

the incubus

It's a not about the weight, it's about the seam all the way around it as well as the little recesses for the screws themselves though I'd imagine the air would glide right over the holes and never make its way in. It's just pretty visible for F1 IMHO.

the incubus

Doubt that's it. Airflow is at it's most efficient when traveling over and around long sweeping and smooth surfaces. The greater the amount of elements and obstacles the air encounters, the more turbulent.

the incubus

The Torro Rosso has the laziest of the Modesty panel designs. It's a Bolt-On component that's secured via 13 screws.

the incubus

Rosberg Vs Hammy. Will in my mind comedown to three things. The car and have they fixed the problems. The new tyres and who they suit and finally how Hammys head goes if any of the former are against him. He could keep the chin up and have it focussed on 2014. However there is always the chance the...

the incubus

Hamilton was not only New to McLaren and the atmosphere, not to mention F1 as a whole and he did just fine challenging his 2-time Defending Champion Teammate in Alonso. Rosberg's greatest achievement in his entire F1 career thus far is beating the greatest ever in a sub par car and at least in the l...

Sauber for me 1,000%!!! Isn't the pictured Torro Rosso last year's car? I don't think so. I pulled out from Google Images, yet I might be wrong. Anyhow, didn't seem much different from STR 7, same livery, although the rear portion of the car seems very unusual, they might be better this year. Yup, ...

Sauber for me 1,000%!!!

Isn't the pictured Torro Rosso last year's car?

the incubus

The Modesty Panel has been worked into the nose by the teams so there's no way of visually seeing any seams on them. The McLaren shows it's fully integrated with the nose as does the Ferrari. Sauber's approach is quite eye pleasing as it looks every bit the part of an F1 car though the step is still...

the incubus

we have 3 different silver/chrome/grey cars now. :smug: the RB9 looks more like a Toro Rosso to me now, hopefully the TR isnt gonna look like a RB!! Back in the early days the colors pertained to nationality so there were several Silver cars in the same color from different manufacturers. RED.........

the incubus

True, this is what Brawn should be focused into achieving too. On the other hand, seeing Hammy's natural speed AND the fact that Mercedes were really rough on the tires last couple of years, his sheer speed might just play a little in his disadvantage...of course, depending on what the tech team ma...

I'm sure even you are not stupid enough to realise it takes more than one person for an argument to ensue. Don't respond, no argument, simples.
