F1 » French F1 hopes hit by Euro Disney pull-out.

Am I right in thinking that Paul Ricard no longer has the infrastructure for 'races' i.e no granstands and other support for the fans? Didn't Ecclestone raze that infrastructure to the ground to make the testing venue it is now? Didn't the Bol D'or go somewhere else because of this? Enough of the questions!! If I'm wrong, please forgive my stupidity! Edit: just looked at the curcuit on Google Earth and it looks like I'm right!

F1 » Olympic medals to boost overtaking in F1?

I saw Bernie spouting this idea in the w/end of Brazil, so why has it taken this long to arrive at this forum?? It was in The Sun on the Saturday before the season ender, so it's a 3 week old story!!!

F1 » Schu: Rubens wasn't fast enough to be no.1.

Sorry karga that I happen to be knowledgable and actually use fact to back my arguments up. I have nothing against Ferrari or any other team and cetainly aren't absent minded. Schumacher was a fantastic driver, shown by the statistics he left behind when he retired. What had I conveniently forgotten??

F1 » Schu: Rubens wasn't fast enough to be no.1.

@rich ard "i dont remember any race where rubens was superior to schumi, and if memory serves me correctly, in austria, schumi had come from behind and as points were critical at that time" At Austria 2002, Ruebens had been superor to Schumi all weekend, and during the first two-thirds of the race, but yes, Schumi was catching Barrichello after the final pit stop. Points were so not critical as Schumacher had a massive lead in the championship - he'd won all but 1 race at that stage of the season (Austria was the 6th round)and finished 3rd in the other. Don't you do any research before you start to type??

F1 » Martin Brundle confirms BBC F1 switch.

Sorry Tim, but for once I'm going to stick up for rich ard. He was merely explaining the reason Kowalski + used 'poor driving' in his post, and for that reason he was spot on, as was shown by the apology by Jack McGhee who read the post wrong. However I don't agree with the guy who's post rich ard was defending - Coulthard drove with more spirit and balls for trying to overtake that 60% of the drivers out there. Doesn't mean you're still not one of my nemesis' though rich!!

F1 » Murray Walker questions F1 BBC switch.

Tony, there will be the absolute minimum (if any) clashes. There weren't any this past season, MotoGP either started earlier (Japan) or later (GB) if the races were in the same time zone.

F1 » Murray Walker questions F1 BBC switch.

Yes ****, Eurosport used to show Friday and Saturday qualifying and the race Sunday and had in depth shows on the day's events in the evening back in the day. One thing that bothered me about ITV's F1 race day coverage was that they used to have 2 short breaks in the hour leading up to the race, but 3 long breaks (sometimes more, especially if there was a safety car) an hour during the race. I remember during the 07 German GP starting watching 20 minutes after the start, but an hour and a half later I was watching it live (on my Sky+)

Very difficult quiz, if you give half points I only got 4 1/2 points!! Obviously I know a bit more about MotoGP!!

F1 » DC: Hamilton in same class as Senna, Schu.

What have I got to forgive DC for Sunny?? I really rated him both as a driver and a person. I must be the only person to have visited his museum/tearoom in his home of Twynholm!! Twice
