I think the reason I am happy with the ban on helmet design change is the fact that when drivers changed their design, it often got a lot of media attention which kind of sums up the sad state of affairs F1 is in at the moment. F1 media should be more interested in the racing rather than thousands o...

Just to throw this in to the thread, people are complaining about the FIA making this decision as a pointless decision, yet it's already created 3 pages of decussion during a time of year when F1 is generally out of the press.

Yet again F1 gets the media and fans back talking again!

Well, the Brits have royally hashed up the World Track Champs at far tonight.

The FIA can decide this in the same way that they can decide about teams keeping the same livery. Exceptions will of course be made depending on rules over advertising in certain countries, and I am sure that a helmet could always be changed if a team secured different sponsorship part way though th...

Don't enter many Sportives but as well as my local one in May, my mate and I couldn't resist this one. Closed roads will be amazing. Be able to ride in a peleton formation with loads of other riders and take whatever line we want.

Ultegra. Most of my bike was ultegra but the chainset was made by FSA. It was perfectly good but I wanted the bike to all be matching. Told you I was OCD! I got it new of eBay for a steel, probably because the seller stole it...... Have to say the gear change is much better, especially from small t...

Thanks for the considered responses.

I'm not questioning your impartiality. It's more a case of expecting Mods to simply moderate, nothing more. I assume you all have separate logins as 'yourself' and therefore that's how you'd comment about particular points of view that are not of a moderating nature. I moderated this forum for many...

Come on it's not scorn. Just disbelief. And who mentioned the 90's 60's and 70's were epic, as were most of the 80's. I hate to do this Asphalt because you know I respect you fully but I think you are looking back with some rather strong rose tinted glasses there. That's fine Laura, differing opini...

OK. It just seems a little odd. I'd prefer to discuss with a defined person (as much as a forum member is defined) whereas I tend to think that Mods have to play devils advocate on forums and putting their points of view across in Mod form could lead members to see a particular mod bias in some way....

Wheels must be exposed. I really don't think there is much wrong with the sporting or technical side of F1 anyway. Other than the frequent low quality racing...... I don't agree that there is frequent low quality races. Grand Prix's now have far more action than they have ever had before. Oh come o...

When you compare the amount of bodywork that surrounds the drivers and wheels to that of the 1960's, F1 is unrecognisable. That's not a bad thing, things change.

I think this thread proves that you can't define a dog of a car.

But when you visit their website, the majority of the info that's straight to hand is green issues. Not that this is a surprise, but it's like Ukip and their anti Europe / immigration stand. Yes they have an entire manifesto but what's their real agenda?

I mean in detail. Anyone who bothers to read bag find out about basic ideas, but what about the detail? What specific detail plans do they publicise? When do they really make a point? Only on fundamentally green issues. They're just a pressure group. (Which in itself is not a bad thing)

Asphalt_World

This is not a complaint, but rather an observation. It has never been commonplace on this forum for Mods to take an active part in thread other than for moderation. Should they not remain impartial and only moderate?

Asphalt_World

Can anyone actually say they know the Green's policies on anything other than environmental issues?

Running engines on dyno's was either none existent or hopelessly inaccurate back then. Bodywork was also slower to remove. Testing mechanicals without bodywork is not that unusual.

Just upgraded the chainset on my best road bike, not because I really had to, more because I am a bit OCD when it comes to bikes and it now matches the rest of the components. However, I can't believe what a difference it makes. Switching from the large to small chainrings and back again is remarkab...

Well, with regard to UKIP in general, I tend to think they're simply the latest version of the Green Party. In other words, they are going through a period of reasonable support but actually have very little interest in anything else a government has to do aside from their one main stand point. The ...

Hi. You can purchase silicone spray to lightly coat your bike. This means dirt sticks less to the bike and what does stick falls off much easier. You just have to ensure you don't coat the rims or discs depending on what you have, otherwise your brakes will be useless..... I hose bikes down but not ...

This is the Italian way to make up for last years embarrassment of an engine.

They will be 4th best at best

So, are you basing that on inside knowledge or what happened over half a century ago?

Why is Alonso year on year so good? Finally, a straight forward question with a simple answer. Alonso is so good year on year because Alonso is the best driver in the field... bar none, as I see it. And he has been for some time. Ooops, wait a minute, I forgot the required praise for another partic...

No idea how good any of the engines are at the moment, but Ferrari were desperate to be able to update their engine so they may have found something during last season that made a big difference on the dyno and they can now use it.

Who knows?

Judging from what I've read online, McLaren have gone for a very aggressive package with minimal cooling. Coming out of the test, I have a feeling that they are relieved that it has paid off and they don't have to comprimise the fundamental package for better cooling. How do we know it's paid off? ...

I for one an not saying that ferrari are going to be contendors this season, it's too early to say. However, those that think a team with the resources like ferrari have can't find a huge difference between one seasons car and another clearly have no idea about the history of F1.

Aside from other regulations, the front aerodynamics would be massively compromised by having to run a drive train, diff etc under the driver and to the front wheels. Any mechanical grip would be irrelevant.
