The days of Williams being able to attract the top drivers are long gone. The way Button fought tooth and nail to get out of his Williams obligation was very telling. But now they don't even seem to be in the market for drivers in the next bracket down. Traditionally over the last 10 years they hav...

I feel quite deflated about this (latest "Kubica out of contention" news). I've been a Williams supporter for over 30 years now. It's been awful seeing them slip further and further down the grid, but every winter I live in hope that "next season will be the one"....... Forget the new logo, or maki...

I don't mind the new logo, really. Everything else about the visual identity changed, so the old logo was outdated. I don't understand the hate for the new logo - it looks OK, maybe not as good as the old one, but certainly feels more modern to me. It's just not worth getting wound up about. I don'...

SteveW

I had high hopes when Liberty took over F1. If this logo is an indication of the standard of other "improvements" they are planning to make, I have a feeling I am going to end up somewhat underwhelmed/disappointed....... I work in IT and have done for well over 25 years now, so I'm not averse to cha...

I hope it doesn't take about a decade for me to realise the 1 is in the negative space and not the shooshy red bit. :lol: I am soooo glad I'm not the only one that thought this for much longer than I embarrassingly care to admit......... I've only noticed it now that you've both highlighted it. Ha,...

One less team means that Williams finish closer to the top. Gets my vote :lol: But seriously...... I think this is just an idle threat, just like Red Bull do every so often. I do believe though that F1 would continue just fine without Ferrari. And I also believe that Liberty Media should call their ...

SteveW

For purely sentimental reasons it has to be 1987 for me - and it's really based on just one race if I'm honest (British GP at Silverstone), so it probably wasn't even a particularly great season and I'm just remembering it through rose-tinted glasses. It was the first year I went to a Grand Prix and...

I'd say Button or Rosberg - but I'm with yellowbin and mds in that I loved watching Montoya drive, he was much better than a lot of people give him credit for.

I stopped reading that garbage "feature" a long time ago...... Complete waste of bandwidth. Yes it seems utterly bizarre. "From the opening lap Lewis was kept on his guard, but ultimately didn’t have the pace (or didn’t care to show the pace – there’s a school of thought that he has fully absorbed ...

Would be interesting to see just how excited Kimi doesn't get during a race though

SteveW

It's these early morning races that are catching me out! I don't know why, it's the same every year :lol: I do a GridRival fantasy F1 league at work and I'm definitely going to lose my thrid place on that league now, thanks to the game being in lockdown as soon as the first Free Practice starts - an...

SteveW

I think the best chance of it happening is exactly the opposite of speccing the cars. Open up the regulations so there isn't one narrowly defined development path, and that may throw up a few surprises. You can control things by putting in maximum parameters (engine capacity, fuel type/amount etc),...

I had a home build Ford Anglia, with a re-cranked engine to give me 1340cc (i think it was) and a couple of carbs off an Alfa. A van dif and I was king of the road.

This is what PF1's Forum has come to? Hopefully..... ;) One of the reasons I rarely post on here, despite being a member for a number of years, is I watch threads turn into ridiculous arguments where nobody seems to listen to/read what the other person is saying. It's not even the fact that people ...

Before I clicked the link, I was hoping 'old Fords' meant a Capri, a Granada and a Cortina! My old man had all 3 at one point, remember his beige Cortina as a kid... horrid car lol.

Palmer had some fighting words in the press conference, he's definitely finishing the season with Renault plus he has option(s) for next year, I wonder if there are any legs in what Joe Saward said in that Palmer is being considered by Williams? Would be absurd By Williams they already have the eit...

Probably better to ask - Is Ferrari the only team that has lifelong fans? They do seem to be the only ones who become a Ferrari fan, and later become lapsed Ferrari fans, not adopt another team Obviously I'm only one of millions of F1 viewers, but I can't see me ever supporting another team other t...

I have a number of "preferred" drivers, but I support Williams. I have followed F1 since around the mid 80s, my cousin lives in Abingdon, which is only a few miles from where the Williams factory was back then in Didcot and Williams was his team of choice also. The only F1 related merch I ever buy i...

oooooh second place, that was a pleasant surprise!

I've not even watched the race yet as I was out all day/evening at a charity music festival my daughter helped to organise.

On a side note, my lasting memory of Silverstone was how cheap the cigarettes were (especially if you're smoking Marlboro)! :lol: I remember this too. Remember going with my dad when I was younger and he didn't know I smoked back then (this is the mid to late eighties). It's surprising how many tim...

Bit late and I know I can't actually add to the Poll, but I'm British and not a Hamilton "fan". For my sins, I support Williams and that means by default I'll always support their drivers. I usually try to support all British drivers as well, but for some reason I have always struggled to warm to Ha...
