No. At least I hope not.

I think Trulli must have had a problem, to be going that slow and still run out of energy is strange. But as it affected both his cars perhaps it was a setup issue?

Nah, Monaco was worse.

AngusWolfe

Quite frankly I couldn't give a damn what the engine sounds like, it's a car, not a musical instrument. The fact I can hear tyre squeal and other noises (as well as not being deafened by going to an F1 event) is actually an improvement, imo.

I just want Monisha out and someone competent in.

I'd happily have customer cars today. A team should be able to buy a chassis like they already do engines, and build the aero over that framework. They wouldn't be part of the constructors championship, but drivers keep their points and a teams championship would get a small prize (comparable to say...

Out of curiosity, would the restrictions on radio communication have any impact on what the team could tell Hamilton? I thought they couldn't say anything about gaps between cars, I don't know about others strategies. I did think you could say about gaps between cars because that's not telling a dr...

Agree on Sainz, he's looking the more impressive of the two at the moment. Don't agree. Without all of Verstappen's bad luck (he's really been unlucky) he would be were he should be: above Sainz in the point standings. And even if he wouldn't be, he's still showing more potential given how big the ...

Not a fan of Verstappen at all. He's clearly talented, but all season long he's been determined to crash, by the look of some of his moves. He also seems to believe his own hype. I prefer Sainz, both on and off track. Pit lane to points in Monaco is incredible. I hope to see him collecting the point...

As far as I can see it was 6 of one, Half a dozen of the other. They're both at fault. Made an otherwise dull race somewhat interesting though

AngusWolfe

Extreme. Nuno is a flashy git.

AngusWolfe

I prefer the deeper, quieter engine myself. It sounds especially good if you have a good sound system and the low end comes through. It could be more agressive, but as long as we can still here tyres, the crowd and it's still a lower frequency.

AngusWolfe

That first (2010?) Car looks like something a 14 year old who spends too much time on his xbox would design :/ i think the Monster team could do a lot better.

AngusWolfe

How it was last time, meh. With modifications, very much for.
If it means we get higher revs from the engine, higher race speeds, great. Just don't bring back qualifying fuel for the first stint. Also, giving the ability to run the race with one tank if the team desire.

AngusWolfe

F1 doesn't seem like Monster's bag. I'd rather see them in Formula E or WEC. Less money for a full livery, which would be gorgeous.

AngusWolfe

Oh yay, more cries of boring races when we have tyres like the Bridgestones. I like where Pirelli is at the moment, hard enough that the race isn't a lottery like it could be in early 2013, but soft enough that the teams still have to be smart with their stratagies. Much better than some of the awfu...

The driver I'd vote for isn't even on the list. Why just have the top 10? Once again the DOTD poll is flawed. Once or twice I've tried to do DotD threads with one vote per person, and all drivers, even those who DNF'd. Both times another thread was made and had half a dozen comments before i could ...

AngusWolfe

When even Formula E can't have a particularly exciting race except on corners they invented, I think it's time we retired Monaco. Piquet should have won on any other track. Doesn't help that half the lap had yellow flags for most of the race, but still. Can't even think of a DotD. Probably Piquet. H...

AngusWolfe

Why don't they do the full circuit? Would it drain the battery to much if they were to go up Rivage? I think I read that they could, but they didn't think they could when they planned the event. Can't remember where so I'm afraid I can't give a source. Still, I imagine the Monégasque are happy half...

Drivers Press Conference.

Looking forward to Monaco knowing I'll be watching the last race of the season

AngusWolfe

I think it's too late for Hulk and Perez. Grosjean has an outside chance, but if it doesn't happen soon it's game over. Why would a team take these guys when Ricciardo and Bottas have shown immense talent at the sharp end. And if they want young blood, why wouldn't they go for the Torro Rosso boys o...

I'm done with Marvel now. Not because of Age of Ultron, but before it came out I realised I have no desire to see it. I rarely rewatch the older ones, so it's not that the material is bad, I've just seen enough. It's been coming a while for me. Spiderman 2 I turned off halfway through and I didn't e...

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 wasn't as good as Hot Tub Time Machine. however if you liked the original it might be worth a watch for the throwbacks and similar gags. A few good laughs, but definitely not on the level of the original.

if VW enter F1 (which i doubt they will, I don't see what's changed in the last 50 years to make them change their mind), I'd rather it was as Lamborghini or Bugatti. VW has always seemed way too corporate for me. If it was Lamborghini ar Bentley that would still be VW since they seem to own every ...

so if you crash you're almost guaranteed to break your neck?

Subscribed. I'm going to Battersea park if I have to fistfight the pope. Hopefully the second race, hope to see some of you there!

AngusWolfe

After the first few laps I said to myself "There goes Rossi's points lead". God damn that was a great performance. Shame to see Marquez loose it like that, but lets not pretend he's not talented enough to make up that deficit. I look forward to the fight.

AngusWolfe

Found a YouTube video of all of Kimi's Pole position laps apart from one. Some of these are fantastic.

Bianchi was also a Ferrari driver, which meant Marussia got cheaper engines and I'm pretty sure he bought some cash too.

Talk on the thread about 1000hp engines made me want a Mazda F1 car with a Wankel Engine. Fuel efficiency of the Wankel would make it a no-no I think Mazda have been working on the fuel efficiency of Wankels for years. All it takes is one big breakthrough and they could be up there. Plus, having th...

They were my favourite of the new teams back in 2010, just because they had the best livery. Over the years that respect has only gone up. I hope they're around for a long time.

Im all for getting rid of adjustable brake balances, differential settings and air/fuel mixes. It'll help to de-clutter the steering wheel a little and make it a little more about driving and handling the car, not managing car settings. I like the regulation of 100kg fuel per race, but lets remove ...

AngusWolfe

In stark contrast to last time out, I'm spoilt for choice! In the end I went for Raikkonen, but honourable mentions to Bottas, Alonso, Nasr, Ricciardo and Rosberg, who showed much more fight today. I'm still suspicious of his refusal to go near Hamilton on track, didn't even bother to push after the...

I think she's a complete idiot, but I've noticed by avoiding the Sun and certain ITV content, she rarely shows up in my life. I highly reccomend it.

I also would not be surprised if Mercedes picked up Kimi if they lost Lewis because after all Rosberg is not exactly the greatest racer F1 has ever seen whereas if there is one thing Kimi does not need coaching on it is the ability to race hard, well and fair. He can leave Nico to pick up the glory...
