Re: The jammed DRS flap

can someone please remind me when the DRS was first seen to be open?

Was it on the run down to the hairpin? Did he open it on the preceeding straight which wasn't a DRS zone at this GP?

Re: Schumacher to Red Bull next year? (Seriously!)

It's not a crazy idea. I'd wager that Schumacher would still be better for one season at Red Bull in 2013 than anybody in Red Bull's young driver program. They still need more experience. If he leaves Mercedes voluntarily, I would expect him to retire. He is embedded in that team now and who knows,...

Re: how many races have you watched since becoming a f1 fan.

I became a fan somewhere around 1963-'64, but had to wait until we had a telly to see any races. Even then, coverage was fragmentary. Only since the early 1980s was it possible to see entire races on television, and though it was sometimes impossible to watch them live, I saw most of them since the...

Re: Monaco - Fastest Laps Averaged over Race Distance Graph

It says that the Red Bulls were not the quickest car in race trim despite having clean air (Webber at least). I think ? This is pretty obvious anyway, as Webber couldn't pull away considerably from the pack.. Alonso's Ferrari looks the most consistent, perhaps because he held back off the gearbox of...
