Re: Rantbox

Max Verstappen is one of the fastest drivers on the track but off the track his attitude in my opinion stinks.

Re: No Grid Girls from 2018 onwards

wow... looking back at this thread is just cringe. Especially my posts.

I didn't explain my opinion very well tbh... and I really didn't want to start an argument.

I hope you guys didn't think I was being sexist or anything because I'm not that sort of person. :shock:

Re: 2018 Indy 500 Support Race: LIVE from Monte Carlo

Ouch the title is quite harsh but anyway... :P

… The Monaco Grand Prix has usually been a pretty boring race, I like the event for the atmosphere and the occasional surprise victory. Panis giving Ligier their final race win in 1996 was a great moment.

Re: Saving those historic teams

I've just recently seen a documentary on Tyrrell Racing and its quite sad that the only option Ken Tyrrell had in 1998 was to sell his team.

He would eventually pass away a few years later which is upsetting. :(

Re: What Tracks Will Get the Boot?

The Magny-Cours facilities have been much upgraded since F1 was last there in 2008, they was probably hoping that doing so would help their chances of getting back on the F1 calendar.

btw... those lines off track at Paul Ricard hurt my eyes. :shock:

Re: Saving those historic teams

Ferrari, McLaren and Williams are kept alive by the power of FOM legacy payments, at least in times of trouble. These didn't exist in the time when all those classic teams kicked the bucket, and that's simply because that's not how the landscape of F1 was back then. In the 1990s, when 75% of the te...

My favourite was the Tyrrell 026 livery from 1998.
