He's my favorite driver and I wouldn't even do that. I can dream though

I would bet on either Hulkenberg or Rosberg. If Rosberg only had some better luck at the beginning of the season...

Ambrose-Milan wish to express their interest in signing contracts with current drivers Jacques Malenfant and Cameron Maroon for next season.

Hound55

Oh my, I haven't had this hard of a time picking a ROTR since Malaysia. I have to split it up. 1. The guys driving that Jeep. I mean really, id like to lead a grand prix too, but that was just idiotic. 2. Force India. What's with all these rear problems? And Sutil speeding on pit road. 3. JEV. Ricci...

He's a Danger!! Montreal Racing Services staff was furious after one of their drivers, Tsubasa Portilla, was caught in a heavy crash during the CART Bridgestone Potenza 500 in the Twing Ring Motegi with pole sitter Jaques Malenfant. "Someone said that Artesia was a danger on track?! Well, Male...

1. Raikkonen - 10 positions. That's a lot.
2. Vettel - He drove away with it, probable right? But by a whole thirty seconds? Jeez...

Honorable mentions to my man Grosjean.

Hound55

Speaking of Toyota I think their color scheme was exciting Imagine if pink was in the the place of the red . I have a die-cast model of the 2008 car, which I think was at least the 3rd best car they made. It is quite attractive with the bridge front wing and low-drag curved rear wing central elemen...

Hound55

Of course something would happen to Malenfant with three to go. But at least Maroon did very well.

...bathplug.

Sorry for the rain, man. That sucks.

Hound55

And now Gordon is in the Chase, as the 13th man, and NASCAR has now banned team orders, while acknowledging it was commonplace in years past. Pure idiocy. Why not oh I don't know? Have a real points championship? And not a stick-and-ball playoff? Nah, makes too much sense..... When I saw that I was...

Hound55

Well, I think this is incredibly worthy of a discussion. With a few laps to go in the final race before the chase, Newman takes the lead. If he wins the race, he is part of the chase by virtue of his previous win and the win that would have occurred tonight. Newman is contesting this second wildcard...

Alliot's career is falling down the tube. Ambrose-Milan is unwilling to accept his return for the rest of the season after Alliot's repeated criticism of Peugeot.

As a result, Joey Alliot is a free agent once again.

Hound55

Ryan Briscoe is better than .... Sakon Yamamoto! Anyone is better than Sakon Yamamoto, even Karun Chandhok! I'd take it farther and claim that Kurt Busch could outrun Sakon with only about 40 to 50 laps of open wheel experience. I suspect it has more to do with Sakon's lack of talent than Kurt bein...

Hound55

I am really getting aggravated with the sheer number of drivers being thrown up the racing ladder as fast as they can. It's outrageous how many promising careers are absolutely ruined by teams that put the next big thing in their cars and expect them to perform like world champions. They need time t...

Hound55

If I was an F1 driver, I wouldn't do any other races after what happened to Kubica. Nah, that takes the fun out of taking risks In all seriousness, I think I might beg to differ on that. If I were a racing driver, I'd focus on F1, but immerse myself in other motorsports as well. Attempt Le Mans, In...

Hound55

At this point, I think it would have been better for Sauber if they had Van der Garde instead of Gutierrez. It seems like he has been more impressive with the same amount of brain fade.

Ambrose-Milan Autosport: Where you can be first AND last

Also, would my post in this thread a day or two earlier have counted towards my continuation in this series? You said "post here or you're out," which made me confused.

LIVERY UPDATE!!!!

Sorry for the extra work. Gotta please them sponsors

Hound55

Maldonado gave me a good case of wut this morning, so I suppose I'd have to give it to him. Greenpeace didn't do anything extraordinary, just a protest, so whatever. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and their right to express it as long as there are no negative consequences of that expression. ...

Hey, Alliot did pretty well for once. He still lost to his teammate, but its something.

I feel like that is only representative of very casual watchers of the sport, and while they do fill a larger amount of the fan base, that is simply because more people watch sports, like NASCAR, without the levels of dedication many others do. Calling most NASCAR fans "idiots" is in bad ...

What is it with Americans and having a play-off format for everything? I'm quite into ice hockey but I still can't get my head around the teams playing all these games in the normal season and then meaning nothing as the Stanley Cup play-offs start (yes, there's the Presidents' Trophy, but its nowh...

*Ambrose-Milan Autosport converted a great start where they were first and third in the independents and turned it into a double electronics failure at the first round of stops. Great job guys. That earns you the Reject Of The Race . YEAAHHH!!!!!! Well, that's one way to start the season. Someone h...

I am surprised to see Montoya last this long at Ganassi. He should have been thrown out a year or two ago. This is coming from a guy who likes Montoya. In his defense, Ganassi hasn't had good equipment in years. Only this year have McMurray and Montoya qualified fairly well. They still fall off dur...

Last year's Sauber looks beautiful Fixed In my opinion it is comparable to a duck's bill The panels on either side of the 2013 car side the stepped nose so I agree it looks a bit better. Ugh, last year's Sauber was the 2nd ugliest car on the grid. The Ferrari takes the cake. I didn't start watching...

That looks pretty cool. And like a lot of work.

Hound55

Speaking of JEV, it seems like he won't face the fate of Buemi and Alguersuari, and will probably drive another season for Toro Rosso. Link He deserves a seat in Formula 1 and should he not be successful with the Red Bull seat then it would make logical sense for him to continue with Toro Rosso EDIT...

I caught the last 33 laps. What a race! I'm definitely going next year.

Well, It's good to know that my team will be comfortably decent with spurts of impressive. I can't really ask for more.

Seems like neither Alliot or Rossi like the rain. Can't blame them, cause I don't either

Shame about Nurmester and Andretti. Tough to sit out an entire season, I ca imagine.

Malenfant did well

Hound55

Considering how badly she performed this weekend, and based on her general inconsistency, Omega Motorsport has decided not to appeal the ban. She will be sit out for one race as a reminder to drive more conservatively. We will put reserve driver Klaus Ammermuller (German) in the 41 car for this comi...
