Great shots Mario, in particular seeing the Ferrari floor and Force F-Duct unsheathed was fascinating. Upgrades, showers, the points battle; looks like its shaping up to be an interesting weekend.

That made a great read Captain. It certainly would be something if all that came to pass.

I don't know. But if you believe the italien media (big if), a planned layout already exists. m Google Streetview has already mapped the area and it seems quite OK, a lot less sterile than many other recent venues. Which direction does the track go in? If the big sweeper is turn 1, I'm excited. In ...

The F1 drivers would bitch and whine more than the champ car drivers ever did methinks. I wonder if a current F1 engine could even last a full race distance on oval. All that time at 18,000rpm, there would probably be some MASSIVE failures.

First F1 race on an oval (1950 to 1960 Indy 500s were not run to F1 rules). Martinsville, pretty please? That would be HILARIOUS. I think Milwaukee, Bristol, Indy, or Pocono would be more interesting though, from a serious racing standpoint. Why Milwaukee? Because its just about the flattest oval t...

All that comes to my mind is, why would he come back? If he does, I can't see him signing for more than 1 season at a time.

F1000X

Does anyone know what the longest contract a driver has signed with a team is? Off the top of my head I assume a 5 year deal.

If Redbull doesn't win this championship, they'll be a laughing stock. If Webber doesn't, he'll never have a better shot. FERRARI CANNOT WIN THIS CHAMPIONSHIP. ALONSO CANNOT WIN A THIRD TITLE. Please Lewis or Mark, don't let Ferrari come out on top. Not after Hockenheim. Not after this movable-floor...

Well i heard something about Albers and HRT. That he would maybe replace Senna for the last 2 races. I really don't know, of i have to take this seriously, but if you think twice about it. You see the link probably (or not). Albers drove for Mister Kolles when he was driving for Midland F1 back in ...

I'm pretty amped about the return of turbos. Ground effects could be interesting, but if the FIA doesn't reduce the fundamental importance of aero grip, this will all be for nothing. LESS WING, MORE TIRE.

All that remains is to paint it black. I'm sure I'm not only one who had this cross their mind.

F1000X

After watching this weekends Grand Prix, I was so strongly reminded how much I HATE the Tilke-dromes and the trend of moving Formula 1 away from the places it truly BELONGS. I don't get caught up in the culture or history of many things, but this sport is one of them, and taking tracks like Imola, E...

I see it. Kobayashi stays with Sauber for 2011 after unrejectifying himself this year, Sauber produces a competent car, he scores some podiums and regularly scores, finishing 6th or 7th in the championship, after which Ferrari dumps Massa for underperforming badly on purpose as a revenge for the sh...

After that hilariously rejectful rain race a year or two ago, this description could not be more accurate. They really ought to hose the track down every year to guarantee the carnage and excitement.

I've twitched a car from side to side but only ever to see how the stiff the suspension was, or at low speed to piss off my passenger. Maybe this will cross my mind next time.

If it weren't there, the top 5 runners would be out of the race being stuck in the gravel that should be there at the Boutsen-S.

What the hell is the Boutsen-S? The final chicane?

Vettel. But mainly because I'm a huge McLaren fan and his butter-finger driving ruined a shot at a 1-2. F*ck you Vettel! ROTR FOR YOU!

In addition, the skid blocks are to be modified, with a minimum length of 1m for each element of the skid block, Wow. How are they going to get a 1-mile length of skid block under each car? Sorry, 1 metre, did someone say? Spoilsport. Should be a mile... And if you think cars can't follow each othe...

The outer course for Bahrain reminds me more of an oval, and if everyone's saying "imagine the slipstreaming", I say, why not just go the whole way and run... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/kaisercurrane/Bahrain_fixed.png The green part. Of all people in this forum, you should kno...

Good choice, I guess. Although honestly I would have prefered if they had changed the outer course a bit to gain a FIA A license for it and use that one for the track, because to me, it looks quite promising. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Bahrain_International_Circuit--Ou...
