F1 » Hamilton: Mercedes 'can get there'


Zelda. I wouldn't put ty down, if I were you. he is a fund of knowledge (cheque to me please ty!). and you did say that you like good debate, which we have, including a bit of light hearted banter. ty. I was young at the time, so even though I followed f1, I was not very conversant with it then. but ascari was good,and fangio also benefited from the dreaded team orders, a fact confirmed by stirling who had to concede a number of wins, and fangio often took over others cars. the 1957 race was also shown last night, and fangio was able to thread his way through a crash. that may have been the one you were referring to. a bit like when schumi saw an incident on the giant screens and was able to avoid it. castelotti was also an under recognised driver.

Zelda. see? we can be technical ! the difference between the merc fric and the lotus fric, is that merc also link theirs diagonally. it is a highly complicated system and everything is done by trial and error. but the management in merc is very disorganised, too many chiefs, maybe lowe can sort things out? ty, I will have to do some research, but I seem to remember an italian Ferrari driver, other than ascari, being in the harbour. could be wrong, but I will look. ps. no,hawkins was the second and last driver to go swimming in the med but bandini crashed into harbour wall and NEARLY had a swim but had second thoughts.

ty. he was just obeying the team order from the pits ..."drive slowly to give the others a chance"......" I cant go any slower"........yeah, he really is generous. just proves that he is the "greatest driver ever"! by the way, just watching a rerun of 1955 gp at Monaco, and ascaris swim. didn't realise that he was killed only three days later. question (and I do not know the answer) how many drivers have landed in the harbour?

Zelda. why do you think that anyone who does not idolise lulu, is automatically a hater? re merc, there has been discussion on this before, but some posters object to sensible discussion. personally, I feel that it has all to do with the fric suspension which places additional download on the front suspension as it endeavours to raise the car. all the cars have to have a static similar balance, so it has to be down to movement on the suspension.

F1 » Ecclestone tips BMW to return


taz. wasn't the mini programme actually a PRODRIVE project, and not an official bmw affair. but bmw offer a lot of support to various production based categories such as wtt etc, all of which are standardising engines at 1.6 turbos. the only downside is that bmw do not make a v6, but I guess that if they decided to re- enter f1, the v6 could be introduced into their range?

flash harry. if you took the time to actually read my comment, it was not anti-lulu, but anti lulu fanboy! but jumping in to have a go at me, just shows that you are one of these fanboys! I do not really have to explain myself to you, but rarely , if ever, have I actually made insults about the "greatest driver ever". have a nice day!

dave. personally i was just correcting robs comment about drop in a race. other than that, nico has fewer points but that is not really due to poor performance. he had a dnf and was also held back. but on one point you are right, there is really nothing to choose between the greatest driver ever, and a driver that many claim is no use.
