MS got thrashed by Rosberg over three seasons, easily beat. Yes MS shown some good bits of speed but over the course of three seasons he was no match for Rosberg. Of course his fans will bring up the excuses of bad luck etc, but then they forget about Rosbergs misfortunes. But the facts are MS got e...

Because the track is narrower than Hank Hill's urethra. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=HFLV2lTzXnM&feature=fvwp LOL :lol: But in all honesty it doesn't look any narrower than Monaco at the point where the crash happened, and before that it was much wider than Monaco ... it seems to me its more...

I've brought up facts, evidence and personal experience, and you just go vendetta, calling my attitude and telling me to leave, very nice.

I've ignored you in the past to avoid this, but recent posts have been hard to avoid, I'll be sure to ignore in the future and from now on again. Reported also.

F1Thomas

So I've brought up facts with evidence and you go about going personal vendetta at me, I knew this whole thing was just about disagreeing with me just because you don't like me (As with all the recent posts) Just leave it out. The track is far more dangerous than Monaco and even Singapore, those are...

F1Thomas

So they where headphones, knew it.

Yeah am critical of him doing rally, but at least he's happy, just hope in the future (sooner rather than later) he can move onto the circuit.

F1Thomas

If Perez can beat Button maybe he's a likely candidate due to being at the right team to challenge for wins (If they can fix their problems) But Button is a big stumbling block for that to happen, and it's a big ask to beat him in his team. Unless one of the other teams outside the top 3/4 get a tit...

F1Thomas

That clears that up then, you can clearly see they are headphones (or some sort) on his right hand on the other picture.

So at least that's a good thing then that he can use a normal hand brake.

F1Thomas

Just a quick basic look. F1: "A typical car will be in the region of 4635mm long, 1800mm wide and 950mm high." Cruze 1.6T: length: 4630 mm; width: 1860 mm; wheelbase: 2702 mm; Some touring cars are longer and wider that have raced on the circuit, however an F1 car has greater aero & mech grip, so wo...

F1Thomas

No it's not. It's to do with the fact an F1 car can't race round there because the track is way too narrow. An F3 car can barely fit in places. Anyway if F1 was ever to visit Macau for some god forsaken reason then they'd ramp up the safety anyway so your argument is a token one at best. Both Macau...

F1Thomas

Okay then.

But how do you know those in his right hand is the button?

F1Thomas

IIRC too your not allowed brakes to have anything electrical either, so I can't grasp how a "Button" could do as a handbrake. Just look at this pict. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ChZ2lJuX1M/UK_jnrPUsZI/AAAAAAAAAT0/tDpO-mMLso0/s1600/var14.jpeg what about it? you can see the switch in the right hands S...

F1Thomas

So your basing these assumptions on just a picture?

F1Thomas

Of course not and no professional driver would unless it was your team mate, or some strange circumstances (Or extreme bias)

It's everything about safety, I've driven round both tracks and know them well, Macua is far more dangerous in many of it's aspects (Not just how Narrow it is) Sure Monaco is dangerous in places but it's limited due to the safety measures taken over the years.

F1Thomas

It's all a false marketing campaign to go green.

Introducing night races and the general traveling has a much bigger effect on the environment then fuel engines do at race events.

F1Thomas

The engine sounds are what make motor racing what it is, it's one of the most vital aspects especially if your at the circuit. It's Electric engines will just ruin it all together, won't be so bad on TV with commentators but it will still lack one of it's key aspects in the sounds even on TV. I gues...

F1Thomas

He seems to have good development and people skills (Is good at giving feedback, reporting problems and is a good talker) which are more major factors in the move and will certainty help him in his career. Now lets see if the team can step it up next season.

F1Thomas

They will add special sound effects to create virtual sound effects ,otherwise its just not motor racing anymore, the sound is one of the key aspects. Though won't be the same even with artificial sound.

F1Thomas

As covered, it won't meet the safety criteria that the FIA have for F1 circuits... And before you say it... Monaco is only still on the F1 calendar because of it's F1 history. If it wasn't an existing GP, it wouldn't make it onto the calendar due to safety issues... :D :D :D Macua is allot more dan...

F1Thomas

Track is far to dangerous for F1, may as well put them on Isle of Man TT.

Don't be silly, this is interalogs and anything can happen, especially with the reliability of the RedBull being a problem.

F1Thomas

As said each to their own, just a big waste of talent wasting away in rallying, I hate to see talent wasted. He needs to get on the circuits in touring cars build up from there.

F1Thomas

Kimi has drove as good as he could, probably the most consistent this season apart from earlier on with qualifying. Romain has been awful compared to him in a car which is much faster than Romain's abilities show, one or two good races of good speed don't mean much if your gherkin poor at most of th...

F1Thomas

Sad to hear this. Kobi maybe didn't quite live up to his early promise, but I still think he has done a solid job this year. He hasnt done badly, but Perez has clearly outperformed him. Thats not really doing a "solid job" in my opinion. I guess you havenet watched this season. They have been very ...

F1Thomas

+1 on Above, it's like he's asking for a death wish considering the amount of crashes he's had, sure he likes doing it but he's chosen rallying over his F1 career. If he really wants to get back into F1 he has to go to circuits and do some lower formula stuff or touring. He can clearly drive a touri...

Looks more for the Central European and Scandinavian section.

The partnership certainly go in line with the naming rights.

F1Thomas

Bullshit. He is a cheater and should have been in jail So should the likes of Alonso and McLaren be jailed for their own cheating crimes in F1? If Alonso was so much of an inch involved in crashgate , he should be. Honestly I find it bizzare that he didnt even know about it. But thats besides the p...

So should the likes of Alonso and McLaren be jailed for their own cheating crimes in F1?

And he really don't say anything wrong in the article, yet again a case of bashing someone without checking the contents.

F1Thomas

I watched the race from live timings, Button's purples where mainly only in S1. If he had the fastest car he should of been fighting for 3rd place even from his starting position, but he could not. Hamilton & Vettel where miles ahead of the rest of the field, though it is known that Hamilton likes t...

F1Thomas

Just maybe Lewis was the faster driver at this track, ever thought about.

F1Thomas

RedBull.

F1Thomas

BBC have no future in F1 and it shows in their coverage (As well as being super biased everything seems very forced and serious now)

Guys will leave, and in the end there won't be BBC F1.

F1Thomas

All about sponsor/partnership colors these days apart from McLaren/Ferrari which both are pretty bright. The contrast was higher on older TV's also which gives the impression if watching on TV that the cars where brighter (Like explained above) If you have a good TV and HD, then you get a good repre...

Nice way to support / motivate your new team, actually quite the opposite, clever.

its one of the few classic tracks left, the drivers love it and most of the time the Grand Prix is enthralling.

Exactly the same as places like Silverstone & Spa, yet they always come under threat at some point.

F1Thomas

It's Interlagos and anything can happen, especially if it's wet. We have seen many of the best crash out at this track so it's not a certainty that Vettel will just win the title like it's easy, unless it's completely dry and he runs away with it up front, but even then the reliability of the RedBul...
