Is that a Manor in 8th? Yep 8O apparently the Manor is quite impressive on the straight line with ghat Merc engine. Obviously they will be lower after qualifying but at least it looks like they will be racing someone other than themselves. Them and Haas are going to be the most intriguing teams for...

Bumb. Still in F1. Soo.... News from TS. Kimi has lost weight about 2.5 kilos. Not because he had to but because he has trained more than ever. Rumours tells he likes this years Ferrari and he wants to make sure he can use extra weight to front end of the car. Also Vettel has lost some weight. Duri...

I would be interested as I agree its a bit hard to be following proceedings and posting here on a mobile device. Ill wait and see if this progresses any further!

Not a great man. Just a lucky old gimp with a serious attitude problem. Overbearing, cynic and cruel are closer adjectives of his public persona than great. (-:...........

Depends on the high school. If it was an American TV show high school, who is the best looking with a rich parent? If it was my school, who is the most useless prick? Kimi is probably the answer. He's high school cool with his drinking and shenanigans. He's a bit of a bad boy in some respects but n...

This. Im sure the training would be beneficial minus getting the snot beaten out of you. Lewis doesn't strike me as the wanting to actually fight type anyway.

I'm going with Honda in the engine battle. As has already been posted above, I think they genuinely know where their problem is and how to fix it.

Colesy917

As for safety.... It's contentious to agree with Sir Stirling Moss, but I think he's right when he says the movement away from risk has dulled the sport. No-one wants people in racing cars to die, but as we all know you can't eradicate risk entirely, if these young men want to earn the kudos and ju...

Was up there all day yesterday, its really developing into a great event! Having so many different manufacturers doing similar lap times is outstanding, shame so many of the potential front runners went out in the first few hours but that's racing I guess. Was good to see the fastest car on the day ...

Okay, I'll be the first to disagree - I hate social media and everything it stands for, and I'm happy that my favorite sport is one of the few that doesn't attempt to dumb its content down by pasting it all over Facebook or Twitter. I 100% agree with that, I hate social media. For a 25 year old I g...

Now that the poll has ended its time for a quick analysis of results. Analysis 1:% of people who care about the noise of the engine: People who don't care - Option 1 (33 votes) + Option 4 (2 votes) + Option 5 (5 votes) + Option 6 (3 votes) = 43/62 = 69.4%. People who care - Option 2 (6 votes) + Opti...

it seems as though there were less "weak" drivers then (Liuzzi, Sato) compared to now (Merhi, Stevens, Ericsson, Maldonaldo). Not entirely fair: KingVoid has taken the 17 "best" drivers from each season and listed them. If you take Merhi, Stevens and Ericsson into the equation, then you should do t...

I voted for 2006, but I really struggled to get to that answer. In the end the deciding differences were: * Having Schumacher on the grid, even though I was never a fan of him personally he adds wow factor to any grid. * An all round more consistent field - it seems as though there were less "weak" ...

Colesy917

Well basically my favourite points system was 10-6-4-3-2-1 which I believe properly rewarded the race winner, after the season were Schumacher won 13 races and wrapped the title up in September this got changed to 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 to more reward consistency and try and keep the title closer done of...

If you want a defining limitation then it should be a limitation on fuel used, I guess that would rule out any inefficient N/A engines? That's not a bad one, I guess, as long as we are talking about maximum fuel used over a race, rather than fuel flow at any given time. My feeling is they should se...

Colesy917

I would also like to add another option. remove all engine regulations beyond limiting fuel tank size and refuel speed. So for every litre of fuel consumed, there is going to be a penalty in seconds of refuel time. By tweeting the 'litres/second' rate of refuelling and tank size, optimum cars would...

Colesy917

But remove the absolutely idiotic development and testing restrictions which do nothing for the sport and serve only to allow the manufacturers to pat themselves on the back for providing the illusion they are making an effort to cut costs. This however I agree with 100%. I agree with that too, but...

Colesy917

I dont think either will leave - with regulations changing it would be foolish to leave the team which nailed the regulation changes last time around (2014).

Colesy917

It's hard to make up my mind on this one. I'm torn between: 2. Keep hybrid technology and create noise 5. Remove hybrid engines for cost cutting 6. Don't care what engines are run at all. In favor of 2: I think the PU's are technological marvels - they produce a lot of power, at the same time they ...

Colesy917

I like the use of the recovery technology, and don't give a hoot about the noise, but it is far too complicated and the regulations are way too wide. (This from someone who always says F1 is over regulated) The rules need a complete re-write now that there is some experience of the use of the techn...

"There was the interview with Danish television that he asked to start again after forgetting the name of the team’s young GP2 stand out Stoffel Vandoorne. They couldn’t of course. They were live. And so Ron compounded his error by talking up their other young prospect, Nick. Nick Heidfeld." https:...

Colesy917

I personally voted for option 2. I like the hybrid engine recovery systems and great engineering associated with it and believe that this is the way all of the world will be going very shortly anyway. However, I understand that loud, screaming engines create atmosphere trackside that is hard to repl...

Colesy917

Given that a high percentage of discussion on here at the moment is about the hybrid engines and associated noise (or lack thereof), I thought that I would put a poll together with a range of options about whether people want the hybrid engines to stay or go and why and with what modifications (if a...

No one in their right mind should like the sound of these new engines. If you say you do you are simply lying to yourself. You are not a real enthusiast. I can guarantee none of the drivers like the sound of the current engines. You can lie to yourself and say it is ok all you want, but it has to c...

Why would Ferrari direct their resources to overhauling Mercedes just before the huge aero changes in 2017? Surely, it would be more sensible to funnel more development for the 2017 regulations than for the final year of the current regs. Correct me if I'm wrong but the 2017 regs are not set in sto...

:thumbup: agree that it looks great! As many people have already said on here, the most exciting part is the thought of them (hopefully) operating with a much higher budget with the same two quality drivers. Great to see a team that deserves extra funding getting it, not something that happens often...

Creed, really enjoyed it. Thought it was going to be awful when I first heard about it but I was pleasantly suprised.

There is no such thing as Secured & Encrypted data if the computer it is on has internet access.

End F1 and replace it with another top tier single seater series? Good idea. I wonder what they'll call it? F1000? F1mk2? G2? F1 now is fundamentally what it away has been. People have short memories and short attention spans. I don't think a few years break and a re-brand will fix that. I think ul...
