Re: Which circuit do you want as the 20th race in 2013?

6 months ago, Argentinian president Cristina Fernández stated that F1 will arrive in Argentina in 2013 and stay until 2015.

Totally agree.

It seems some people are complaining against Merecedes' DDRS rather than DRS per se.

Re: F1 2012 Demo for PS3, 360 and PC

Just tried it today on Steam... not bad, but after F1 2011 fiasco I would wait to see how well-finished it is. Here you have my first laps, pl note that the first 5 minutes are acclimatization laps =D

I hope it hasn't got the same issues than its predecessor.

Re: I hope DRS goes from F1 sooner rather than later.

1. That is so long as they are made without artificial aides. 2. So long as no rules are broken or infringed upon its only fair that any team enjoy any advantage garnered from their design. 3. The reality is that in real life not everyone's a winner or should be allowed to experience winning. You c...

Re: I hope DRS goes from F1 sooner rather than later.

I love the way that people now equate a score of how exciting a Grand Prix was by how many overtakes it has. I think the most exciting racing moment I ever saw was Senna and Mansell racing wheel-to-wheel down the straight in Spain in '91. With DRS this is guaranteed to never happen again. All I can...

Re: I hope DRS goes from F1 sooner rather than later.

You are missing the point. Just because a race or season is RIDDLED with an exorbitant amount of passes doesn't mean it's better. To me, passing on merit, relying solely on skill and the confidence in your machine is far and away much more exciting and weeds out the best of the best. And a season w...

Re: I hope DRS goes from F1 sooner rather than later.

(...) how was it possible for drivers to pass one another in the Pre-'09 era. It simply wasn't: F1 Overtaking Records Season 1,152 : most overtakes in a season - 2011 945 : most overtakes in a season (dry races only) - 2011 186 : fewest overtakes in a season - 1996 137 : fewest overtakes in a seaso...

Re: I hope DRS goes from F1 sooner rather than later.

I don't see the problem on using DRS, if a driver is passed because of these "unfair" DRS and KERS systems, then, why don't he uses those two things to regain his position? And I'm not talking about placing 2 consecutive DRS zones as it happened in Abu Dhabi. And, following the same logic: if a driv...

Didn't he do that to Alonso in Hockenheim as well?

Re: Podium at Monza

Who wants to see some old driver who won two world championships with Ferrari and another with McLaren talking to Hamilton, Perez and Alonso on the podium at Monza? It's all so embarrasingly contrived and pointless to have an F1 legend and two-time winner of the Italian GP standing overhead of a th...

Re: New Member introduction thread

Hi there! I just registered yesterday night because I wanted to take part in many of the discussions I've seen in this forum, the good ones, not the fanboyism spam. I love racing (watching and practising it) and I have been watching F1 since 1994. I don't have any particular favourite driver nor tea...

Re: Vettel vs Alonso incident (drive through for Vettel)

As far as I've heard on TV coverage, and trajectory changes apart, if the front wing of the attacking car has surpassed the rear axis of the defending car, then it's up to the car in front to leave a gap. The FIA determined that after the Bahrein incidents with Nico Rosberg, that is to be considered...

Re: Hamilton say he hasn't learnt anything from Button

Thread's title is not 100% precise, as others users have already stated. What Hamilton said in that interview is (translated): I don't know why Martin said that, I wouldn't know what to say I learnt from Button. I learnt from Fernando, but I don't think I have learnt anything in special from Jenson....
