I have to say, after all the pics of Emma Watson that end up here that gif of Jensen Ackles was a refreshing change

(even if he is crying manly tears of manlyness).

^Wow. Those are some great photos!^ I've seen a few F1 cars at Mercedes Benz World, including the exploded and suspended Mercedes. I've also seen one of Michael Schumacher's Ferraris in the Ferrari shop in Florence (unless it was a replica, I dunno). A few years ago I was lucky enough to see the Wil...

More silly season things! Quantum Motorsports retweeted this, then deleted it: "So, @Lotus_F1Team to become @Quantum_F1? Also, look who they're following driverwise, only a certain @RGrosjean and @NicoHulkenberg ... Keep an eye out on their page, there's supposed to be an announcement on Tuesd...

I haven't posted on this forum for a while, but now, for me, it seems like a good time to start again.

TIMO!!

I still miss him in F1, but at least he's not failing in DTM.

Another quote from Eric Boullier, but this time on whether sponsorship is a factor in deciding which driver to go for:

"It would have zero effect on our decision. I want to choose the driver on merit and not on money."

Is he perhaps difficult to work with in the garage? Some of the messages that he has given to the team over the radio, according to the official transcripts, have been rather hostile or unhelpful, but he doesn't seem to have the same sort of reputation as di Resta has for being difficult. I wouldn'...

Did you know that Eddie Jordan is actually bald, and has been for some 30 years? He must have a great set of wigs and/or stylist to keep that fact hidden. Shame that his stylist evidently doesn't do shirts. Apparently he has three which he rotates to simulate growth and hair cuts! I got told this o...

Dunno if this has been picked up on yet, but Eric Boullier has said he has "fun" and "surprising" names on his shortlist to replace Kimi Raikkonen. I've been hoping Hulkenberg gets the seat, but he's not really surprising. Hopefully Boullier has some boring and unsurprising name...

Was it just me or did the guy who tried to fix Grosjean's air system not have on the correct pit-lane protective clothing. If so, anyone have any information or opinion why was this not subject to a steward's investigation and penalty? No, youre right, he didnt have a helmet. But Lotus have been re...

I noticed how a few of you have said that Daniel Bruhl's portrayal as Lauda was better than Chris Hemsworth's of Hunt, and after seeing the film tonight I agree. I found this article though, which offers one reason for it. m Obviously it didn't hurt Bruhl having Lauda still around to gain the insigh...

Can someone please explain to me what's going on here? And if it is what I think it is, why? Max is talent talent talent, without needing to combine with another driver. Doing so would only dilute his talent to the power 3... But on the flipside increase the power of the other driver. Max knows the...

I just saw Jimmy Eat World last night, which was awesome. Apart from the fact I was a short person standing in a crowd of incredibly tall people so couldn't see most of the time. But they sounded good.

Although Religion and Philosophy was an optional class to do for GCSE, everyone in my secondary school had to endure the vaguely-named "Citizenship", which was a half (yes, HALF) GCSE about political, religious and ecological issues. Very dull stuff. I see your half-GCSE in Citizenship an...

I'm thinking that Massa's drive today will see him retained at Ferrari next year. They seem to want to keep him so could easily use this as an excuse to do so- he may not be the best driver they could choose but in terms of being settled within the team and playing second to Alonso they couldn't fin...

I just don't understand all this RBR-Vettel hate. I know I'm biased, but Schumi never got anywhere near this level of BS during his run. What's different now? I don't understand people who don't understand. Seriously. Fair enough, although I don't find Webber at all likeable. But do you think Vette...

That's good to hear! I was kinda disappointed by how few fans of lower down teams I saw- I think being on this forum has mislead me somewhat!

IF Alonso does one from Ferrari I wonder If Webber may regret joining a lesser racing series? A one year contract with the scuderia would've been a brilliant swansong. I wonder if he'd consider it? I can't remember where I heard it, but Webber at one point said he wouldn't want to move to Ferrari j...

I have only met one person who likes Formula One, and I'd describe him as a casual fan. I don't really have anyone RL to talk about F1 with to be honest. Poor you. I've only one friend who likes F1- when I try to talk about it with my other friends the conversation (from their side) is limited to &...

I had work experience at Williams and Force India but have absolutely no connection to them now. I'm also going to work at Xtrac for two weeks in August so that's pretty close to F1! Aside from that my mum had a friend who used to live near Fernando Alonso, and kissed him when she first met him cos ...

Some sort of grey gang? Did they decide to coordinate their outfits in an attempt to alienate and/or creep out the o...

14 Hundred Hours

1: Grosjean - I spent a lot of time worrying in case he messed up, and was glad (and mildly surprised) when he didn't.
2: Hulkenberg - did much better than I thought was possible in a Sauber for the second week running

My friend kept on singing this every time the safety car passed us at the weekend. Dance moves and all.

It hasn't been out of my head since then.

Wow. That was like a Nick Heidfeld fashion show.
It was glorious.

1: Pirelli. 'Nuff said
2: The crowd. Not for the whole booing/cheering thing, but for many deciding to storm the toilets during the safety car period. I was up and down letting people past me like a yo-yo.

Back when I was in secondary school in my English class, there was a book that had a picture of Riccardo Patrese winning the 1990 San Marino Grand Prix on the front. Such a book was usually filled with articles which you had to answer questions about later on. I also remember reading such an articl...

1) Grosjean
2) di Resta
I didn't expect either of them to finish so high up, but I'm glad they did.

The FIA made a massive error demanding the new teams had to use Cosworth engines and the Xtrac gearboxes, if they'd given them more freedom we could have had some far better quality entrants because I think those demands were a major factor in which teams the FIA selected. Instead we got a hotch-po...

Ditto.

I for one am sad to see him go. He wasn't the best driver but he was better than some, and damnit I liked the guy. I didn't like seeing him struggle/giving up at times at Marussia though, so I suppose that's one good thing about his leaving. Anyway. I would be off to lie on the floor and writhe abou...

Arsenal beat Newcastle 7-3, with our last 4 goals coming in the final 20 minutes. Theo Walcott has been looking a totally different player since being placed through the middle. Deserved his hat-trick. And my whole family wept. Apart from my brother, who doesn't like football. And my step-mum who d...
