It looks like they're running a very stiff setup.

Grosjean has an exceptionally long neck

Destroy:

Valencia
Singapore
Abu Dhabi

Revive:

Imola
Magny Cours
Old Hockenheim (imagine the DRS zone on that!)

MistaVega23

Tracks I'm looking forward to:

Malaysia
China
Canada
Spa (I'll be there)
Monza
India
Abu Dhabi
Brazil

I think we'll see MSC show his true worth at the above circuits - the combo of his aggressive driving style and the Merc's as-yet-to-be-exploited straight-line speed should be fun to watch.

Raikkonen still wouldn't have made it past Q1

Seeing HRT struggling (yet again) in Melbourne and Caterham/Marussia taking up their usual places at the back of the grid, I feel that three seasons is enough to prove whether they're worthy of their place in F1. Isn't it time the FIA brought in a system where the worst (or maybe bottom two) perform...

Bring back Rubinho!!!

MistaVega23

You can't deny that F1 would be a quieter and less fun place without him

Nope. Not until 2004.

quali finished at 7.10 GMT. They finished live coverage at 7.38. 28 mins of quali reaction minus adverts. Am i the only one to think thats pretty poor. you got more on the bbc and they had other programmes they had to leave for. they have just put on the video of the lauch of the force india. wtf??...

Schumi for the podium!!!!!

MistaVega23

He's worried. I can tell.

MistaVega23

Solid start for MSC

Can he keep this momentum for tomorrow?

OF COURSE HE CAN!! HE'S THE 7-TIME CHAMP!!!!

MistaVega23

Oh God here we go......

Seems a bit odd that Vettel (the defending two time world champion) and Webber (the almost world champion) have the same drivers score as Raikkonen (a returning champion after a two year hiatus) and Grojean (a relative rooking with some F1 experience). Also, while Mclaren have the lowest score of 7...

I just read another thread about the amount he's charging Melbourne to host the race (from $1.7m in 1996 to over $50m in 2012) and can't help but think he's severely damaging the reputation of F1 and giving fans more cause for argument that he's ruining the sport simply to buy his daughters a 14th ...

May I recommend Sky?

*Runs and hides in cupboard*

Best designs:

Hulkenburg
Perez
Senna (obviously)
Button

The rest are just a mess.

(I wish Schumi ditched his all-red helmet - still reminds me of his days at Ferrari - and gave us his Suzuka '98 chrome beast

)

Australia. No other venue.

It's been the curtain raiser every year since 1996 (apart from 2006 and 2010 - epic fail in Bahrain) and to hold it ANYWHERE else would be a travesty.

F1 is slowly losing its grip on 'tradition'. Please don't take the best season opener from us.

MistaVega23

With which bookies?

MistaVega23

One of my favourites has to be Melbourne 2002 Ralf's airbourne Williams, Kimi with gravel in his seat, and an epic battle between Schumi and Montoya. Cracking start to the season if you ask me! :thumbup: To sum up, I like Melbourne ;) I was going to say, no love for 2002?... Twas a heart in mouth m...

This is slightly off topic, but is about overtaking. Is 'hanging a driver out to dry' on the exit of a corner against the rules? The rules state that it is illegal to push a driver beyond the confines of the track, but that is exactly what is done and no one is ever reprimanded for it. Is 'The Vett...

When I get home from work I deliberately reverse up my driveway so that when I have to leave I imagine myself leaving the pit garage to go for my final run in Q3.

In my Toyota Aygo.

I grew up listening to Murray going mental every couple of weeks so to sum up what made him so good was exactly that - he was MENTAL. I remember Damon overtaking Schumi at Hungary 1997 and laughing my head off for days. I was 13 at the time and nearly broke the VHS I recorded the highlights on rewin...

That's just a fashion statement. Like footballers wearing those ridiculous snood neck warmers during a game.

Front row lockout.

You heard it here first.

MistaVega23

I am crossing fingers more than ANYTHING to see Schumi on the podium one last time. A win would reduce me to tears, but a top three would also be a massive achievement and shove, quite literally, two fingers up to those doubting him since his comeback.

My sig says it all

MistaVega23

Absolutely PERFECT

MistaVega23

This has been discussed so many times. The step cannot be removed (see Scarbsf1's twitter), because the chassis is homologated. A step can be sculpted a tiny bit (like the Merc, Lotus) but it absolutely cannot be removed until next season. Thanks for the info :thumbup: I wasn't aware until now. Loo...

Off-topic, but every time I see these 'What If?' threads it reminds me of the 'What if a dinosaur ate Alonso?' pic on the old forum

If ANYONE can find that pic it would make my day.

I'm still getting used to the look of them, but can't help but think that as time goes by some teams will abandon the concept and introduce some radically-redesigned (i.e. smoother-looking) noses throughout the season.

Any thoughts on this?

MistaVega23

Given Ferrari's apparent problems I'm hoping that Mercedes get into that top 3 spot not just by default but by challenging the Red Bulls and McLarens too - bring it!!

MistaVega23

Loving the new forum!

I'm formerly C-Dubz (almost hit 1000 posts on the old forum but definately will on the new one!) and hail from Swansea, Wales, UK.

PS. That is not me in Ferrari overalls - simply a face in hole

Bring on 2012!

I remember somebody asked in the original Webber Bombing thread if Mark has seen these himself? I might link him up on Twitter!
