Re: The Ryan Leaf 'American Sports' thread

Re: Team mates with the same birthday

I share mine with some bloke named Ricardo Londono-Bridge; the dude tried to enter the 1981 Brazilian GP but FISA refused him a superlicense. Turns out he was a salesman after his "F1 career", if you would... Turns out he was some kind of drug dealer. In 2000 he got arrested, they seized a...

Re: What If?

Yes, but after 91, Williams-Renault. nuff said. WDC or two. - What if BAR would have never existed? Would h...

Re: Heidfeld will be replaced by Senna... ?

Nice move for him. I hope he drives well so he can get a race seat next year. Seeing him in a Williams next year would be win-win for FW and himself.

BTW, it will be a nice sight seeing the Senna helmet in the dark car in the dark race track (Singapore) 8-)

Re: Things you miss about F1...

Jarier raced for Ligier on a one off basis in 1977 at the Japanese Grand Prix (his race lasted for just three laps before his engine failed), and for that race he was allocated No. 27: http://www.trax-models.co.uk/images/uploads/S1723.jpg You're right, though, that from 1979 onwards, when they race...

Massa WDC probably, due to intra-team rivalry in the 2 Mclarens, and after 2008 a game of musical chairs between Mclaren, Ferrari and Brawn-MercedesGP. I'd imagine a better seat for Kovalainen.

I endorse this message. Even non-champ I'd like. There is much talent in oval racing, so why not go there F1, as it is the pinnacle of motorsport. Tarmac closed-course motorsport is not just road/street courses. Just sayin'..

Re: Rantbox

It annoys me a little that Pedro de la Rosa is referred to as de la Rosa instead of Martínez which would be the proper way to refer to him as per traditional custom. Nobody refers to or would even recognise a certain Juan Pablo Roldán, Sergio Mendoza, or a Pastor Rafael Motta. They are awesome alte...

If true, lotsa YAY to Bruno :D
A driver do not need to be in a F1 team young driver's programme to be successful... he could surprise a few people. Maybe he was sandbagging in feeder series for that moment ;)

Re: More coverage of backmarkers, please...

Being a follower since the early 2000's I remember seeing a lot of the Soopah Agoouri, Minardis, Spykers, Kolles-Jordan, when there was no action in the front. (I loved Taku overtaking FA on the Quebec wall, good memories..) But then again, there was little to no midfield action and this was not an ...

In the Canadian french coverage they said that Christian Horner told that he's aiming to clinch the WDC ASAP, "As long as our car is the same spec" or something.

Re: Rantbox

Why is Ferrari whining about that 4cyl? Was there 4cyl GP cars in the 40/50's?
And why is FOTA ditching the return to ground effect?
Where is the (road-car industry-) relevant innovation?
F1 in its current state is a farce. (But hey, it's less farcier than when I started to follow it in 2007....)
