Just sat at the back of the house, having a quiet drink, and about a dozen bats appear, chasing moths I think.

Don't know why (maybe because it's rare), bur really put a smile on my face. Dog was fascinated.

I feel that there should be a clock permanently on display to the players and crowd during a game and that the remaining time may be adjusted and the clock may be stopped (rather than adding time or reaching the 90 mins and playing more at the end). It just seems that there is far too much room for...

Motor racing is a dangerous sport. It says so on the ticket... You do dangerous stuff, you might get hurt. It's tragic, it's terrible, but it's part of the game. This is the litigious world we live in and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Exactly. You look at Monaco, so quick people wanted "no ...

Does anybody know, whichever of these alternatives is chosen, will all other "open cockpit" categories also have to incorporate it? eg, GP2, GP3. various FRenault, F3, FFord

A film covering the epic 1983 F3 season, involving Ayrton Senna and Martin Brundle is to be released soon.

Interesting article in Motor Sport Magazine: http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/f1/f1s-power-secret/ Seems most F1 engines use a combination of compression ignition - like diesels - and conventional spark plug ignition. Was anyone else aware of this? Some diagrams to go with the article would have he...

I think his slogan should more properly be: "Make America Grate Again".

Wow guys, I'm touched (No, not down there, and yes, in a good way) at your concern and that I am remembered. I'm doing fine, and the reason I faded out for awhile was because I had to take a step back for a little while. Although if you knew my life history (construction worker, ex-military where o...

There is no difference between the excitement at the end of a session or at the beginning. There is a world of difference. So you would rather sit there for 8 mins with nothing happening and then get excited than get excited and sit there for 8 mins in terms of on track action both formats are the ...

I'm sure I saw it in the max mosley bio that there is a clause in the contract that if the commercial rights holder fails in his duty. It will automatically go back to the fia. I think there was the same agreement in the wrc commercial rights when dave Richards handed back and the new commercial ri...

I've seen a few people mention in both this thread and the quali thread thread that Bernie is driving the value of formula 1 down. It's a risky move too drive the value down. But is he trying to give commercial rights back to the fia by allowing the fia to buy the rights back to gain overall contr...

Has it affected a terminal decline in cricket, football, darts ETC? TBH, yes, i think it has. or will do. Football is perhaps the only (UK based) sport immune to this effect. But I do believe that cricket, athletics, rugby league, and F1 will suffer long term from having their sport removed from FT...

Just wondering if anyone has revised their opinion on the halo, following Alonso's crash?

Do you think, if one had been fitted, it would have hampered Alonso's exit from the cockpit?

The Mario Andretti quote, I remember as: "If it all seems under control, you're just not trying hard enough".

Personally, though I like both Hobbs and Matchett at times, i have longed for an American representation on the broadcast team. There is no reason why it can't be done. I preferred Varsha to Diffey by a lot. There is no justification for every member speaking with a foreign accent. Even the pit rep...

As much as I dislike smoking in general, I'm actually of the opinion that neither one should be banned. So long as the consumption of alcohol or the practice of smoking aren't outlawed, I don't see a good reason for the advertising of those things to be. It's not as if people aren't already well aw...

Argentum

This was inspired by a short conversation in the Williams FW 38 thread and I couldn't find a similar thread that had recently been discussed so I thought i'd open this up and get some opinions. Should alcohol companies be allowed to continue to advertise in or sponsor F1 teams and events or should ...

From my home town. All over the news, Facebook etc. My best mate is friends with Craig's mum and dad.

Apparently, at the Manchester City game this afternoon (Craig was a lifelong City fan) the crowd had a round of applause at the five minute mark, in memory of the band.

Very sad. RIP to all of them.

What I am getting more and more annoyed at lately is sites requiring too much personal info to register.

They could of pitted Hamilton the next lap which it would of been a close battle or put Lewis on the ss like Vettel, Ferrari thought it would be OK and it was. This would of been another battle but they did the complete opposite. Assuming the strategy you outline would work, why would Mercedes choo...

i wonder who is the best qualifier then? We've seen Rosberg beat Hamilton plenty of times in qualifying. Vettel got soundly beaten by Ricciardo in qualifying last year. Well they had the same record, so if Vettel was soundly beaten, so was Hamilton. But you have to have both drivers feeling the car...

Argentum

Yet another proof that most of the best drivers in the world are in F1. Fact is, Webber and Hulkenberg are not TOP F1 drivers but they can easily stand out in other top motorsport series. And yet, quite a few F1 drivers (including ex WDC) have gone on to DTM, and failed to impress. Does this mean t...

Imagine F1 without Colin Chapman, no monocoque, no sponsors liveries, no wings, no ground effect, no skirts, no double chassis...

Think Jim Hall was first to use wings and ground effects, with the Chaparrals - even before Chapman. So, pretty sure F1 would have adopted them at some point.

all fair points... what i tried to say was that today - compared to 10 years ago - there are circuits that are on the bring of death because they just can't afford f1 and so are there drivers... it would certainly be a time-consuming process to lure some drivers of higher calliber to a new series, ...

fair enough... just a quick update on the bold section: ferrari an mercedes have told the FIA that 8 million for 1-year old engines is not enough and they can and will not supply them for that money. the fia wanted to introduce a customer cost cap: 8 million for year-old, 12 for new spec engines......

this has been tried and failed. Great concept great idea but it won't work for 1 reason. F1 the rights to the name F1 belong to the FIA and I think the FIA gave all rights (marketing etc) to Bernie (CVC) with a long term contract something like 99 or 999 years some crazy term.

i don't think anyone can actually come up with a real counterpart to f1... f1 will always be the pinnacle of motorosport because it combines the engineering and the driving - something, a spec series just can't offer... but that doesn't mean a spec series can't be a healthy competitor... cheaper ti...

The combination of suggestions of Red Bull buying F1, with them telling their teams there are "other avenues for their expertise" makes me wonder if they are considering a route towards starting their own motorsport championship, as they have done with Red Bull Air Race.
