well i quite enjoyed todays race, certainly not the best, i agree, but for what and where it was, there was some good overtaking and nice racing (there was even a pass for the lead: when was the last time you saw that in F1 lol)
but these F1 races cant all be Suzuka 05. goodness, if they were, we wouldnt appreciate them now would we.
i dont know what it is about stirling moss but he annoys me so much and his comments always seem stupid and out of touch with reality and modern times. yet everyone goes to him, the news, various motor racing shows on TV and websites. and yet i dont think ive actually read a comment by him where i thought to myself: well done good thing to say. he just annoys me hes quoted so much.
im sure many of you will disagree with me, but he just bugs me. im not denying he was good in his day, he was, its just his persona and outlook on modern day motor racing. just my two cents. sorry
what is going on with crash.net at the moment, a lot of stories are appearing on hear DAYS after ive read them on other sites??? this one, and Heidfelds slam on the SC rules for example have been on ITV F1 for a while. is this to do with sourcing articles perhaps???
no need for the safety car this weekend? you have got to be joking!
so risk marshalls lives to clear debris on the track, if you dont clear the track, risk a drivers, look what happened to Kovalienen, his accident rumoured to be caused by debris. and for his accident with the race continuing, the medical car is supposed to race other cars to that position on the track? to help extracate him from the car. and risk more marshalls lives by sending them to a place where a car can clearly have anther accident. if one cars gone their, another car too.
i cannot believe this i have just read that comment
all they need to do is close the pit lane, then re-open it quicker, it takes too long atm, when the safety car comes out, everyone slows down, then as the saftey car approaches the pitlane entrance next time by, the pits open. at the moment its like two laps causing cars to run seriously low on fuel.
and tbh, the teams know this rule is in place currently, so they should be stopping before they get to such a low fuel level that should a saftey car come out, they wont run out of fuel on that lap, so it is partly BMW fault, but yes, theyre trying to get to the front etc etc but still, they know the rules.
lol, actually i think it should be counting the number of successful qualifications for a race, this would remove the occasion of when a racer suddenly falls too ill on the saturday night to race despite having qualified. and removes those who may have failed to qualify for a race in the old systems. so i actually disagree with F1Tos, lol. sorry.
directed at Iain and Rich Ard's little convo... if i remember correctly back when arrows where going out of business back in 2002, they arrived at the french grand prix and purposely failed to qualify becuase if they didnt turn up at all, the FIA or FOM would have to fine them for breaking contract (signed at the start of the year) i think. if im incorrect, appologies, but if im right, the Super Aguri may well have faced the same fate were they not to race this weekend, which with a hefty fine may leave them in a worse situation still and keeping in mind, theres no 107% rule any more, so i dont think cars can not qualify anymore???.
well, im sure bridgestone will continue to develop there tyre to avoid this problem.
F1 is the only series to run grooved tyres and one of the only ones to use tyre warmers, yet no other series running slick bridgestone tyres have this problem, so im sure it will all be fine and dandy by 2009.
agree with Dhruv, keeping in mind F1 has a 50 year head start and will no doubt remain a pinacle. but for a1gp to match it, i dont think so, theres good chance that the series could become regarded as the second best series internationally and the series has good potential for appealing to smaller motorracing nations. i see that happening. the ferrari backing will help massivly and maybe in the future it will become an interesting mix of Ex-F1 drivers and drivers rising through the ranks. when that point is reached, i think then it will be competing to be that 2nd series.
