Its too early for this.

Theres still time for a faltering Vettel to be caught on the pit-radio saying "Christian you TOLD me you wouldnt let Webber win!"

coops

Alain Prost proved that there is not a thin line between racer and manager, but a Berlin Wall with armed guards every ten feet between being a racera nd being a manager. Its often said that great football players make useless managers and vice-versa. Without thinking about it too long its probably ...

Just been watching early 90s f1 footage, and I've realised, they dont show much stastistics, maybe we're getting an overload of it in recent years, and it's destroying our enjoyment, the mystery of "how far is driver-b behind driver-a, he's catching him up", and do we REALLY care how much...

Villenueve-Durango sounds like a frisbee.

Villenueve-Minardi is fantastic but I reckon JVs ego outweighs his sentimental side. Will the car be desgnated JV01?

"Na na naah. Cant heeaar you. Baaaaaahh!"

Best grid ever??

With 2 Villeneuve Racing cars lurking at the back of the grid, yeah, pretty much!

coops

As we're going for Brundle +1 Ex F1 Driver what about Eddie Irvine? He could be the new James Hunt.

coops

Legard doesn't really bother me, neither did Allen despite the fact they were both a bit silly. They only really seem to bother the autosport-forum-fanboy types. I agree. I just want someone to tell me where we are, what lap it is and where that driver is. The detail stuff I get from Brundle and he...

coops

I dont think it will happen but I'll add my name to the list of those who hope it does. When he could be bothered he was mighty and his return would cause the big names to groan inwardly, im sure.

coops

Great.

14th place on the grid never looked so secure.

GO HOME WITH COLIN KOLLES, SAKON YAMAMOTO!

That is merely the truth. A humourous truth, nonetheless.

Im not changing my signature again.

Watched. Made me jump. Not good.

Theres been much talk of driver safety but how long, I wonder, before a member of a pit crew suffers a fatal injury.

And those guys dont get paid millions of dollars.

Captain Hammer wrote:Sakon Yamamoto - how the hell do you drive out of your pit box with someone leaning into your car!?

Its true then. Magic. Brings new meaning to the phrase "Move it or lose it".

coops

Mark Webber possibly deserves a mention as he seemed to hold back and wait for The Hulk to be penalised, which of course he wasnt. He appeared to waste valuable laps as once he'd been told Hulk wasnt going to give the place back he overtook him quite quickly. The great golaar. Hamilton made a mistak...

coops

Monza is not overrated as a circuit, but, strictly speaking, too dangerous for modern F1. No it-oh. Speaking personally Im quite forgiving to classic tracks that sometimes deliver not so classic races and I know that roughly translates to sentimentality. When Monaco, for example, gives me a process...

...during the qualifying session coverage for BBC1.

He suggested that MSC may be on the verge of announcing another retirement, presumably the final one. He commented on the number of drivers seen in and around the Merc motorhome and he hinted at what this could mean.

Any thoughts?

Hispania for not having a f****** Monza spec rear wing. They really are legendary. Although I followed F1 in the nineties when Andrea Moda, Pacific et al were performing I wasnt fully aware of what was going on, they were just a bit rubbish. Thanks to the increase in available media such as this mi...

Agreed. He's the driver Yamamoto hopes to be when he grows up.

Beautiful. That wasnt slo-mo by the way. That was the things top speed!

Yamamoto. I thought he was looking reasonable in FP1 as he seemed to be holding a Force India up. Then I realised the Force India driver was messing with something in his steering wheel because he promptly sped up and whizzed past him. F1 gold.

coops

The BBC coverage often pans over the historic old banking and it looks sensational. Just imagine for a second a car racing through that corner. Beautiful.

It can also be Virgin. He's not gonna buy a whole team at least a part (that was on f1racing.nl) I reckon Branson (or whoever) will put a price too high for JV wheras over at HRT it'll probably buy one car you get one free, I said you buy one car you get one free*. *Probably the first (and hopefull...

That he would maybe replace Senna for the last 2 races.

Things'll be different next year when JV is at the helm (possibly).

coops

We're back on! JV has declared his intention to pursue Plan B (not the abysmal yoof singer) and purchase one of the existing teams. As one does. It can only be HRT cant it?

Put monster truck wheels on the cars.

When I read the title of the thread I thought "Thats a bit harsh on Kubica".

coops

F1 and Ferrari will be fine. There will be no backlash, no big switch off and no protest. This is what happens in F1. Sometimes you agree with it and sometimes you dont.

coops

I guess we've all learned something.

coops

And so these 9 pages have been for nothing.

I feel so used.
