Some reports coming in that the situation at Force India is worsening - http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/force ... er-report/

I've heard through the grapevine that apparently the team is about to be put up for sale, cynical thinking or do other people have a genuine concern for Force India as well? :/

RTL France and L'equipe are posting on Twitter that Jean Pierre Beltoise has died - anyone else found an official news article about this?

Some of the "workers" are actually volunteers who are in my class at the University of Hertfordshire - invaluable experience gained here, I know they loved every second of it and wish I could have got stuck in too! Will certainly give them something to brag about on the CV when they start ...

On-board lap of Moreno at Magny Cours in 1991 - with commentary from the man himself!

Never heard him before, so quite surprised how high pitched his voice is!

As an 18 year old, you're making my dream job of becoming an Formula 1 engineer seems less exciting by the day As a final year Motorsport Technology student at University, I know exactly how you feel - what a waste of hopes and dreams when you read such things from him! Although very harsh, I can u...

With a bit more searching around, I found out that Andrew Faulkner also did the song at the beginning of the 1996 F1 review (Ferrari Launch)

Andrew Faulkner - Muscle Punch - http://m.unippm.cn/Browse/Labels/CD%20L ... wId=190629

002) How do we know it's not from a pre-season test? The sun confuses me. It is like the shot was taken at noon. Also the Schumi 1996 pic, could it be from testing too? It's impossible to say, really, as the livery is identical (as far as I can judge!) to photos that are definitely from the Grand P...

With a little help from youtube users, I've found the Benetton launch for F1 1996!

Hey MadGaz

Just to let you know I found another video of F1 1996 - https://www .youtube.com /watch?v=H88S1SlSHpk (Just un-space URL)

Again, still trying to find the song during the Benetton Launch and the McLaren one .... reckon you can find it now?

Thanks for your help!

JJMonty

Confirmed.

JJMonty

Not from 1994 I know, and apologise.

However good find for the 1995 ones!

Would anyone know what the name of the songs are in the 1996 review? Specifically the ones during the Benetton Launch and McLaren Launch? http://vimeo.com/86010150

JJMonty

Plausible or sheer arrogance?

It was great so see Lotus back in the top 10 today! Shame Maldonado had to bin it... No doubt Vettel will get a penalty, what a miserable weekend he's having! :O Mercedes 1-2 tomorrow no doubt, but I expect it to be Hamilton winning ... (not sure if that is a good or bad thing though!) Forgive me if...

Mario, thanks very much - there was no way I was going to track all that down after finishing work at 10 pm on a Friday night. I learnt so much in just watching those two Peter Windsor videos that I am now thinking seriously of subscribing to F1 Racing. I see that Ricciardo's best time in the Red B...

Well whatever happens, he is returning as Competition Patron for Formula Student this year - http://www.imeche.org/news/institution/ ... udent-2014.

I reckon he will go into a more open form of Motorsport, like the WEC, or he might actually just retire, focus on projects such as Formula Student and just enjoy his fishing!

JJMonty

Thought I'd bump this thread, considering my Motorsport Design project is pretty relevant to most of our interests, I guess. We have to design a car for this , which looks like a lot of fun. I've been given the aerodynamics mantle, so my job's to make the car we design look as pretty and efficient ...

Well having had the chance to race him last month, I'm not really suprised - he seemed to be lacking motivation and his driving wasn't good either :/ He was guest of honour for a Karting event that happens in the UK (British Universities Kart Championship), all the uni's against each other basically...

Audi are in favour of the theory of this propsal - (as you would expect from a lower ranked team), however I thought upgrades were limted to 1 per "x" amount of races?

JJMonty

Audi are delighted with scoring their first ever championship point! Though we can't help but feel some irony that Jochen Mass scored the point! However the performance of our car has been poor, but so has our reliability - we are glad to have at least 1 point, achievement for season 1 met! Now to i...

Although Audi were not impressed with the delay in the calendar I'm sorry about the long hiatus, my exams got in the way; and as much as I love running the series and being an active member of this forum my future success was more important to me. Next time I'll announce such a hiatus so you don't ...

JJMonty

Although Audi were not impressed with the delay in the calendar, we were delighted with Jochen Mass' return to racing! A splendid qualifying performance and race performance before our engine let him down again. He will continue to take the second seat for the foreseeable future. When will the next ...

The ironic thing is that Brundle was very critical about the crane being brought out - suggesting it would be easier, safer and less hassle to just leave the car there due to there being only 3/4 laps left. In his words "The car is out of danger, you are only going to hit it if you actually aim...

No, Sutil cannot simply pretend the rules don't apply to him.

But he wasn't holding up Hamilton from what I could see

It was a stupid move, but: "any driver defending his position on a straight and before any braking area may use the full width of the track during his first move provided no significant portion of the car attempting to pass is alongside his. Whilst defending in this way the driver may not leav...

Well... Keke is positive of Nico's outcome....

'can nico win today?'

'no'

brundle just cracks up laughing and walks off

Short and sweet!

Stommelen will race for Audi at some point this year - He would just like some more practice first to become familiar with the car as he has had very limited running so far this year.

Jochen Mass? Well, good luck with that. You'll need it.

Lauda has left Audi - what can I say? My short term choices are Mass or Rolf Stommelen :/

(Read the Auto Sport quote a couple of posts up

)

Audi can confirm that Jochen Mass will take over Niki Lauda's seat for the immediate future.

No, though not sure about Shinji

And obviously, either Mark isn't quick enough to win the championship or Red Bull are not willing to make him win it. The latter I think. Whoever will be his replacement, it won't be someone who will fight against Vettel for the championship. He couldn't win the championship that is. He was well po...

You're a member of the ACF, you should attend our test! And that's the conundrum I'm stuck in. We declined to test with Audi last time in order to test with the rest of the ACF and while I don't want to alienate the ACF, I don't want to piss off our engine suppliers either after our works VW storyl...
