Don't kill the messenger, I know nothing of this driver, but just read a tweet saying

'Susie Wolff, scored 0 points in 5 of 6 seasons in DTM. Husband is an investor in Williams. I wonder which of the 2 things got her the job.'

Is that true?

Alex53

Just checked the BBC site. So they arent streaming the practice sessions of the races they are showing?

Alex53

The fan-base also has its part of responsibility. I'm afraid there's a lot of 'I don't care about the politics of the country it has nothing to do with F1', which in this day and age of twitter, etc. gets to the ears of sponsors and teams, who in turn don't feel like going ahead will hurt their bran...

Prost was my favourite driver in that period of F1. Lauda had been my first favourite before him. To me, and I was only young, Senna seemed faster over one lap (i.e. qualifying) but Prost was the better strategist, the guy using his brain more rather than all out raw speed. Obviously these things ar...

Since you are looking for redeeming factors "Balestre is credited with establishing specific crash test requirements for Formula One cars, significantly improving the safety of the sport." I think Balestre was a man of his age, with obvious faults, but with some merits. His style doesn't cast him in...

Put it this way, I'm not paying extra for the Sky F1 HD channel, and I would still want F1 back on the BBC. Ideally I would want a holographic matrix that transports my mind to a 3d environment that I can fly around and watch the race from any angle I choose. However, that is not an option and is n...

After seeing what is going on there, I won't be watching it anyway. Its no huge loss anyway is it, its always been a borefest.

And a country that in 2003 invaded a country that was not a threat to it and then after finding no weapons of mass destruction democratically re-elected the government that decided to invade. As you say, there is no black and white moral situation. I would like to see Bahraini's be able to have a d...

Alex53

If there is a race in Bahrain, I wont be watching.

Watch this and tell me if you can support this even with just one small grain of sand...I cant.

Alex53

I wont be watching it, and I know its just my grain of sand in a desert. It should be the teams and their sponsors boycotting the GP to be honest. It doesn't say much for any of them that they are prepared to go ahead with it.

when Hans Solo says his ship can do the Kesel run in 12 Parsecs, he;'s talking out of his backside, parsec is a unit of distance, (astronomy, 3.08568025 × 10^16 metres) not time, so Hans Solo, stop talking rubbish!! Real one, Kimi is awesome, Fact! Star Wars facts are better presented when you know...

These threads are always going to be clouded by fanboyism unfortunately. There are two drivers on the grid right now who I reckon are above the rest. They rise to the top at the minimum chance they are given, and even in inferior cars they have managed to be on the podium or even win. Those are Hami...

He seems to like 5th!

its no coincidence. 2 red bulls, 2 mclarens, alonso in a rubbish car, everyone else.

So, with the Indycar site having no time conversions (because after all who outside the USA could possibly own a TV set) and the time changes in Europe tonight...has anyone managed to find out what time UK or CET the race starts?

Alex53

How about us British people who are not English, Irish, Welsh or Scottish ey? Discrimination I say.

Also, this one needs bringing up for the sake of outsiders

Once again Hamilton had the edge over Button in qualy, however, judging by his lockups in the last turn, was this at the expense of taking more from the tyres, which is fine to produce the faster qualy lap but is not sustainable for every lap of the race. I'm definitely looking forward to the answer...

Alex53

I find it funny how since the ban of the Blown Diffuser Webber has out qualified Vettel both times. This sort of shows me Vettel gained the most of the extra downforce through the corners. Drivers like Hamilton, Button, Webber and more can handle the car a lot better with it. Which is what a lot of...

The European GP is just a 'joker' GP that allows Bernie to hold more than one GP at the country that is more convenient at the time, for example by popularity of F1 in that country at the time. In the Schumacher era, Germany, and as Alonso emerged and Spain went F1 crazy and authorities became willi...

German media just reported that Sutil will be the 1st candidate for Massa seat. Alex Trulli in 2004 scored only victory for Renault in that season and was leading Fernando in points...after which he got sacked. I stand corrected on that half of 2004 then. I still can't see how anyone would think Tr...

Alex53

The only things going for Trulli are his nationality and the likelihood that Alonso will be happy with him as they were teammates before and he beat him comprehensively. Ummm Ah No. Ummm Ah, yeah. 2003 Alonso 6th 55points Trulli 8th 33points 2004 Alonso 4th 59points Trulli 6th 46points Those aren't...

Alex53

Sepang will have the same top 5 cars but in a different order, prompting a whole new set of premature conclusions about who is the best, and a whole lot of 'told you so' saying Button is not that great.

Alex53

The only things going for Trulli are his nationality and the likelihood that Alonso will be happy with him as they were teammates before and he beat him comprehensively.

Alex53

I'm just waiting for someone to say that the car has been developed around Alonso and thats why Massa can't drive it

"All of the McLaren boys were envious of Jenson's ride"

That's fair enough, if they are outside the 107% or 109% or whatever the rule is, they should be out. What I don't agree with is all the flak. Its not as if they are not trying their best within the limitations of their budget. They haven't qualified to race, end of, if anything the sport should emp...

Careful what you wish...the moment he kicks the bucket the whole F1 circus could easily implode over no clear leadership and a bunch of teams pulling different ways.

1/2. Alonso - Hamilton (They are the most talented drivers in F1 and there is so little between them they drew on points last time they were on the same car.)
3/4. Vettel - Button
5. Kimi
6. MSC

Guys dont start posting illegal stuff, I just havent got the Sky package yet and wanted to know if there's an SD option.

Alex53

I want to watch F1 on a PC with a TV-card, but my PC doesn't handle HD channels that well (audio is fine but video comes up with a slow framerate). Aren't they going to broadcast in SD too?

Alex53

Certainly an improvement.

Avatars (even if just the ones you have to link rather than upload) and topic reply notifications would be nice.

Alex53

Someone should have realised a truck full of jet fuel is not safe on a track with racing cars. Just saying.
