Correct! But I was wrong. It should be something else. Perhaps TIASBBNHMTSNBM.

I think this Heidfeld trope has nearly reached the heights that HWNSNBM's reached some time ago. It's time to give this meme an acronym.

I don't think epic even begins to describe it. Just imagine what would happen if <insert random F1 driver> was asked to do that.

Row Man Gross-Gene

But, metal won't wear, so the cars wouldn't be able to go any lower than that height to begin with.

Metal does wear, but probably too slowly for what the FIA want to measure.

How is hosting every other year going to make them money when hosting every year doesn't?

It reminds me of that old (funny) business saying: "We'll take a loss on every unit, but we'll make it up in volume".

Row Man Gross-Gene

Have they said whether Hamilton was knocked unconscious in his crash? It sure looked like it to me. ...Another fantastic race at Spa. And they can't make money. Should it actually be renamed Spa Francorejects? ...Williams is by far the best looking car on the grid. Better than the original rothmans ...

I won't give a lot of explanation, other than to say that currently my car is shared as a family car.

I'm in the US F1 Gast, and to be fair, SPEED (our motorsports channel) is part of the basic digital TV/internet cable package I get which is around $120 per month. It's hard to say how much of that fee SPEED actually receives. Maybe they get very little and I'm lucky to even be getting the little bi...

Just reading "BJ and the Bear" made me laugh out loud. It helps take the edge off the bitterness I feel toward the cable channels for happily taking my money and giving me stuff-all in return. I'd cancel it, but I'd get an earful from my wife because she wouldn't be able to watch "Say...

This thread makes me proud to be a member of this site. This kind of dedication and willingness to share is how this knowledge gets passed on to the next generation! BRAVO!

Row Man Gross-Gene

I think the current generation of cars is underrated. I'll give a few reasons. 1. They are longer and thinner (more cigar-shaped) than the previous few incarnations. Rather like the old 60s race cars. 2. They are smooth and curvy with only a few straight, hard-edged lines. 3. They don't have a milli...

I'm sure you're right Cynon and Klon. It's just so hard to believe that they actually make more money by getting 0.0000000001% of the reality TV audience than they would by getting say 25%-50% of the motorsports audience. Of course I remember the time when TLC (the cable channel) was short for The L...

Sadly, I think he may be the only one with the power to do anything about this. Now all I need is for him to take pity on us lowly US fans.

Sorry for the US-centric rant...If I was in another country I'd probably be ranting about that country's lousy motorsports channel/programming. Nowadays on SPEED tm, there seems to be virtually nothing but "reality" crap for programming. Help me out if I'm remembering incorrectly, but when...

What do you guys use to color these things? MS paint sucks big time at it. GIMP does a much better job, but still not nearly as smooth and beautiful as those above me.

personally I think the idea that electric engines are dangerous because they're too quiet in the pit lane (it's my understanding that the motors will only be used in the pit lane) is ludicrous. An F1 engine at low revs (100kph) will be utterly drowned out by cars screaming by at 300kph on the straig...

I don't think this is a flame war. Everything is on-topic, it hasn't devolved into pure name-calling etc. FWIW I'm in the US and SPEED is part of the cable package that I have. I'm positively addicted to HD picture. FOM should have done this years ago.
