I've heard numerous times Australia used as a success story when it comes to gun control, especially on US news programs who are pro gun control, and each time I hear it it irritates me no end. Australia isn't the US. Although we're both based on western values, we're different cultures with differe...

Has there ever been a more beautiful F1 car?

I can/t think of one.

Apparently the full length circuit sadly with the chicane on the Mistral straight in use https://www.gpfrance.com/en/paul-ricard-circuit/the-circuit/ I liked it better than Magny Cours but i'm not sure how much i'll enjoy this layout. The chicane neuters the Signes corner somewhat. For me, Signes co...

In the case of the first is that people like to disregard the "well regulated militia" part of the 2nd amendment or interpret it to mean that it's meant to allow the populace to defend themselves against an overreaching government. When in fact it was because the founders were against the idea of h...

Not sure this looks like a great idea, as it’s a full screen won’t it become victim to oil and dirt build up. Unlike a helmet there will be no tear off option. the articles above say they are working on tear offs Yes but how often does an f1 car pit compared to other similar motorsports? And having...

I love it when folks get upset on behalf of other folks who are not upset at all. Personally, I'd be upset if I lost my job. But did they really lose their job? As far as I know, and I could very easily be wrong here, the agency employs the girls and the promoter engages the agency on an annual bas...

The only thing I can think of is that they've formulated a different mixture for this purpose that allows the flex without breaking, but I will venture to say that once a halo has taken a hit (should be an extreme rarity) its life cycle is done . So i'd guess then, as unlikely as it may be, that if...

I've always wanted to name a race horse "A Horse" so, going with a similar concept with the team, i'd call it Corsa Automobile Racing, or CAR for short.

So whenever commentators refer to the team it'll simply be " The Car".

Drivers - Verstappen / Rakkonen (unless he's too old) if so Vettel Team Principal - Bob Fernley Colours - Red, white and blue Engine - Mercedes Race Engineer - Peter Bonnington or Rocky unless he's retired What about throwing in your dream title sponsor into the mix? A Virgin backed F1 team! When V...

This will be interesting.

Indy obviously believe the halo is not the way they ideally want to go. I they can develop a functional screen, we might see the end of the dreaded halo in the not too distant future.

I can’t wait for the next round of changes. My hope is for a change to a 7 litre, pushrod V8 with a pair of big ol’ Holleys. A Hemi powered F1, in Richard Petty blue would be a sight (and sound) to behold. MOPAR or no car. Cheers, Noel PS Bernie, please Come back, all is forgiven.... You can make F...

Liberty is a US company, and it is logical to assume they would try out things more in step with US practices. With this change in schedule, Liberty are (indirectly) addressing the Pay TV issue, that it serves a cornered and contained market, and is a dead end for any progress. You can not grow fro...

Hmm.

Wonder if he's heard of a little town in rural New South Wales, Australia called Bathurst?

Feel like doing a bit of mountain climbing in October Fred?

Bit of a schedule clash with Japan but I'm sure Jenson wouldn't mind saturating your seat again.

What is good about it? That PC culture won again, because everyone is offended by everything nowadays? It's not like the girls were forced to do it, they probably did it happily. Perhaps not in the countries that shouldn't be allowed to host an F1-race to begin with. Yes, we had this discussion rec...

They want to improve ratings?

Get the sport out from behind a paywall and let the masses see it on FTA.

As an Australian, its just another kick in the ar$e.

After the tragedies of Palleti & Villeneuve in early 1982 the sport saw 1 fatality between June of that year & May 1994 and that was in testing sadly as primarily a result of poor marshalling and lack of appropriate emergency resources. Almost 11 yrs fatality free. Yes 1 too many but hardly the ima...

Gorgeous livery. So simple, yet so triumphant-looking. It was just a better era of racing in general tbh . Sadly with a little bit more death involved...

See, historically I would have been against this idea, then one of the posters pointed me to this article. http://time.com/4322947/men-women-sports-evolution/ Part of the article mentions that women biologically draw themselves to sporting events to witness who is the fittest athlete, and therefore...

Grid girls should have disappeared 20 yrs ago.

It's an out-dated tradition, adds nothing to the sport and just objectifies women.

Same with the clapping girls and podium girls.

I keep reading Kubica was well off the pace and that Williams are dilemma over deciding who partners up with Stoll, I have also heard that Di Resta was faster than Kubica. I think if Kvyat sorts out his head and consistency problems he would be a good choice for Williams, I also hear he can offer t...

Interesting to note when he was challenged with evidence of increased participation in NCAA an High School sports, he has nothing. Another counter to his theory is that less resources provided to women’s sport could result in a...

I also enjoy working for my employer. The difference is though is that my employer doesn't give a frogs fat one about a persons gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or if they're a dog or cat person.

I didn’t answer where it ends when it comes to diversity, because ultimately it’s not our call to make. That’s what I don’t think you understand. If the transgender community feel disadvantaged and ask for equality, who are we to say no and to tell them to sort it out themselves? In this case, ther...

Oh no. I just worked it out. We've never had a Chinese driver race in F1. I can't believe it Brad. The most populous nation on earth and no driver?

It took years to get prize money in women's tennis to achieve some sort of parity. Yeah it did take years of arguing and talk of equality to get to where we are now where men and women get the same prize money in the majors. Odd how the argument never ventured into the area of expecting the women t...

Exediron I absolutely love the write-ups.

The teams sort of lend it to a fantasy-F1 atmosphere anyway...
