Re: Grid Girls and Grid Guys Revisited
I'm not sure I actually understand people actively wanting rid of them. Because they present a negative stereotype of motor racing fans? Because turn off a large number of potential fans? Because the message is sends out is the the role in F1 for women is to primarily be eye candy for the men? Alie...

Re: Australian TV coverage
So the Channel 10 Highlights package is BBC commentary. I honestly now believe channel 10 representatives of the team that came up with this joint deal were 5 year old children. And sadly, using foxtel play/go on my 4K TV will result in high definition pixels. The original deal was going to be that...

Re: di Montezemolo: Old chiefs deserve credit for Ferrari wi
Of course Seb can't take credit for Ferrari's improvement at Malaysia! Neither can Luca who single-handedly got rid of the 'dream team'.... Ferrari gradually fell apart once he had taken control , until he was himself thrown out. The bolded bit is what really pees me off. Ferrari didn't gradually f...

Re: di Montezemolo: Old chiefs deserve credit for Ferrari wi
Luca should just shut up and think about his own future. He ran Ferrari into the ground. Good riddance, him and his stooge Domenicali were nothing but tumors. Well, that's certainly insightful. As much as I thought last year that maybe it was time for Luca to retire, he was in charge during Ferrari...

Re: di Montezemolo: Old chiefs deserve credit for Ferrari wi
Luca is right, of course. Credit for their improvement has been earned by many... those who have stuck it out and worked so much on the new cars/team, those no longer with the team whose contributions are still being felt, and of course those who are "new" to the team or in new positions that have ...
