Some more shots of the same car from the same race... You'll notice the complete lack of a canopy. Any photos of practice? That is, after all, where they try new stuff out isn't it? Look at the capacity crowd in the background of jiminwatford's original screenshot. It's race day, I'm quite sure. Bu...

Guia

Not bad at all!

And while you're at it, how about the Ligier JS5 - the 'teapot' version with the oversize airbox?

EDIT - That link might not work for you. You know the one!

Guia

There is no canopy. There never was any canopy. We have entered the realm of entirely imaginary things.

That being so, might we consider other historical cars which would lend themselves to a closed cockpit? Or are we agree that the 72 represent the optimum design for these purposes?

Schumacher didn't live with Rosberg. Obviously, Corinna would never have approved. Best to take advantage of other arrangements. Why people think he would have lived with Hamilton I'll never know. I know. They weren't even an item. :uhoh: It's funny because it means two different things... The gigg...

I am tempted to sarcastically suggest I didn't see that coming. And yet I did.

Michael would not have let Lewis past at Monza, CotA. Plus there's no way Schumacher would have halfheartedly scuppered Rosberg's qualifying lap in Monaco: he would have wholeheartedly done it in the race.

Result: WDC Number 8.

Crikey. That's, erm -

Crikey.

Why is there a translucent quality to Fittipaldi's face and helmet? And why is there a UFO hovering beside his head? Isn't it Ronnie Peterson? You can just make out the red and black helmet. Peterson's was blue with a yellow rim. I'm seeing a blue helmet with a yellow peak. Peterson did drive a num...

Do as Lt. Drebin suggests and cover the irregular line which appears to extend from the airbox - Blinky's tyre markings on the far wall - and the impression of a canopy does seem to be reduced. All other features lending to the appearance of a canopy are consistent with those of a Lotus 72. But ques...

On this I am genuinely torn.

Guia

There are better ways, I'm sure of it.

No to DRS.

Guia

No.

I could write a dissertation on the reasons why.

Three car teams for everyone. BUT:
• Only the top two may score
• Non-manufacturer teams should be subsidised
• Customer cars as well please
• Points down to 20th

I'm going to be contrary here and say NO! KILL IT IN ITS SLEEP!

I'm all for tech, but I'm also a purest. ERS muddies the waters.

It isn't going to happen, but I am with you on this, Guia! Too bad that so many of these new to F1 never got to experience it.

In the case of such a scenario, I do believe our subs are instructed to place themselves under allied command.

Jacques Villeneuve in the middle of 2006 season was replaced by Kubica in BMW. Yes, but we're not supposed to talk about him. Why not?

I'll give you that simply because every opinion is valid, and in Adrian Sutil's mind he is as high-profile as they come.

In Austin the pole lap was a little bit faster than in 2013, but the race fastest lap was 1.5s slower. If cars are comparatively faster in qualifying but comparatively slower in the race, then that would suggest a greater degree of conservation during the race. They could go faster, but that would ...

Guia

Do you mean pushed out of a team of out of F1? Surely Button could find a seat somewhere if he really wanted to. I'd assume that a winning team is meant by this. Any current / former WDC who is still at / near his peak should expect to have a drive with a team capable of challenging for wins. Yes, ...

I don't think they were stopping him racing if he wanted to... he was rumoured to be joining McLaren, but ironically (given the example in the first post), that drive went to Jenson. When Alonso signed for them in 2009 for the 2010 season, then immediately they were looking at pushing Kimi out.. ag...

Kimi in 2010? I forget the amount of money that Ferrari paid him for 2010 NOT to race. The point being that by paying him not to race, it can hardly be said that he had no choice in the matter. The other point being that he was paid not to race for another team, negating the question of whether he ...

Michael Schumacher would make a flattering point of comparison most of the time, but a case here is difficult to make. Not that some won't try, so best to get it out of the way: Michael in 2006 was much older than Jenson is now and, while we don't know how the German felt about Maranello's position ...

Guia

The OP has it right: Massa, Button and the Nico twins.

Guia

*Applauds politely*

Guia

Nico should let the Hammer past. Then he need only stay withing DRS range until the last lap...

Oh go on, Lewis - I dare you...

I would not want to be Nico Rosberg right now.

Apparently it's time for a hammer of some sort. Nobody's being more specific than that.
