RE the accidents (Petrov's and Perez's) I feel that Petrov's is not much of a worry. The conditions that caused it can be fixed. The marble-ing of the tires can be worked on, and the Evel Knievel ramp that launched him can be flattened. Perez's is much more difficult to deal with. What is the FIA go...

Just a bump, I've added the 1991 and 2006 cars in the first post.

Not Heidfeld, I predicted exactly this result!

With each passing race, Button is looking smarter and smarter for jumping ship.

Yes, Paint.net is a nice free program as is the GiMP. Nothing beats working with Illustrator though:

I'll see what I can do. I'll probably make something that is somewhat generic and then see what kind of liveries can be done.

Row Man Gross-Gene

Just for the heck of it I did a couple of liver templates that you guys can use based on the williams cars of 2002 and 2011. You can go to this link to get a high-resolution version of the file: http://cid-f73fd6728c175582.photos.live.com/self.aspx/Formula%20One%20stuff/Templates.png Let me know wha...

I've added the Aston Martin LMP car and the Bugatti Veyron. EDIT: and the Bentley LMP car. I also thought I'd show a few computer colorings I did of the RB7. The first couple are just variations of their current color scheme. The yellow Red Bull is absolutely gorgeous. OK, maybe that's because yell...

I'd rather not be that guy. (I.e. the tattle-tale type)

Tealy, I may have cost myself a point, but it's all part of my plan for world domination! Muahahahahahahaha!

Row Man Gross-Gene

I don't wish to appear stupid, nor to reduce my chances in the championship, but I'm only able to discern 12 points from my predictions, yet I'm listed as having 13. I noticed the same thing for another competitor as well. I assume it's not a mistake, so what am I missing? Do we get a point for &quo...

That's weird, his car names (like hurricanes) always used to start with successive letters of the alphabet. By that logic, this car should have a name starting with N. I wonder why he's abandoned this tradition? I was wondering about that myself. How about Naughty Nigel(la)? God I LOVE Nigella! To ...

I think the key for doing this is working at a much higher resolution then saving the images down. For the images below I worked on PNG files that were 5100 pixels wide and then resized down to 900 and then cropped to their final size. I can put together a folder/page with the large PNG files if the...

Row Man Gross-Gene

I've added more cars. I figured with this latest one I would show a color version of it.

Row Man Gross-Gene

Thought I'd bump this because I've added the McLaren F1LM and made a couple of other minor changes. I also wanted to ask about the PNG files. Do you want me to turn aliasing off? Lastly, here are a couple more I'm working on. http://5czcpg.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pVa3ZK6v62jACHSpBwO7G4y8nIr9TabZRYP8...

Thanks for the input Enoch, I appreciate it. And I hear you about the the younger kids. Mine are 3 and 5, and the older one has a lot of trouble with all the fine detail (to say nothing of the younger one). But it is fun having us all around the table coloring away for upwards of an hour. Of course ...

Just for the heck of it, I scanned one of the images I colored, this is the BSA Indy car. It looks nothing like the real one. http://5czcpg.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pUEz89PfjMzBrRSJV19HwScKarwzZYx3XdqM1bIw2Va-ueUwb2n4KJ4XhCJQ2S9IbnbkUShshbFEopcY9jzwxeAUiSFIb_-C7/BSA%20Car%20small.jpg?psid=1 I've colo...

And incidentally, if it would make the images much more useful I'll try and output PNG versions sometime in the next several days. And if you guys would prefer larger versions as well, let me know.

Agree completely...fantastic.

Mario, I happily accept suggestions. I won't get to all of them, but I may get to one or two. Thanks much.

Excellent Diniz, and yes that is the point of a coloring book!

I can't say how proud I am of the younger generation of F1 fans. The fact that such profound questions are of interest shows what complex and moral beings you youngsters are (I'm assuming you're all younger than me at 31). In my opinion it was right to cancel the Bahrain GP. And while I understand t...

If you download the PDF, you'll have the vector versions of the images.

Sorry for another bump, but I've added several including the RB7

Thank you much, I'll move a car from that era up in my queue. Right now I'm doing a couple of Gulf Porsches.

Sure, I can output them at any size, or you can have the vectors if you want and I can post a link to a pdf or an adobe illustrator file.
