Re: Overrated and Underrated Drivers
Michael Andretti: Hideously overrated. If you forget his F1 sojourn and look at his drives in Indycar (94 onwards), he just seems to spend most of his time crashing into things and other people. Heinz Harald Frentzen: Underrated. It seemed like he needed the full love and support of his team to be ...

Re: BBC viewers
I really can't stand Andrew Benson's writing, ever since earlier this year I had to comment on one of his articles reminding him that Sauber dropped the BMW prefix in 2010 and that he should update the points table accordingly in his article....
A little off topic, I admit.

Re: High Resolution Formula One Images
I agree - 1) is Rosberg at Brands in '83.
Not sure about 2) other than it is Ronnie Peterson in '78. could be Argentina but thats a huge guess.
3) Sometime in '75. Even though the teapots were used in early '76, Lauda carried the number #1 and Regga the #2

Presumably this is before the system of 'fastest driver in qualifying is on pole' really caught on, so I'd guess in the pre-war era. Can't be more specific than that though.

2) I think is the Nurburgring; looks like the pit entry, as on the other side of the armco is a red and white wall, not unlike the final corner, with Warsteiner sponsorship hoardings, which is a rather potent German beer. If not then I'd say Monaco '98. EDIT: http://img.posterlounge.de/images/wbig/m...
