so instead of BMWSauber-Ferrari they could be known as Burger King Sauber-Ferrari?????

Now u will be hearing all the PC people moaning about the sponsor...

Any track liked by berine is a typical F1 boring track to me...........

Virgin made a silly amater error. The fuel tank needs to be over 180Litres for the distance at least! Its common sense. HRT might not last however there cars have finished 5 out the 8 races (very slow though) and virgin....Once! Sponsor of course wants results but also finishes. I could see virgin p...

I'm Againest it fully. America don't like Formula One much and the track is another typical F1 track. Its

Jordan192 is right the system would be illegal. However the FIA have checked over the Red Bulls chassic and nothing was illegal on the car.

To me the gas ride height system is really a smart way round the rules and other teams lost out.

TeamTipper

Maybe the CFD design isnt all the bad

TeamTipper

Mclaren or Mercedes look really good in Malaysia, however in the second practice whiched I watched live Torro Rosso isnt to slow either. I hope its a mix day of weather so the results can be different. (note HRT catching up slowly good luck and Senna for the win lol)

TeamTipper

I feel that the idea of F1 is to be open with rules and design. And seeing KERS return and letting team choose on how the system can be used is a huge step foward for the sport and engineering.

TeamTipper

Tenth place is the best the new teams can hope.

TeamTipper

BMW Sauber Ferrari. One for the stupid name. And two being fast in testing and saying they can challenge but did...... nothing!

TeamTipper

The races now arent no way near as long as the old days. Monaco 1958 race was over 100 laps and took about 2Hrs a 10Mins if not longer.

TeamTipper

The late great Michele Alboreto on the Lola 1993 was so correct!!!

TeamTipper

Tyre wars to me are important. The idea of f1 is to have the best engineering techinal in the paddock. Also David Couthard blames Max Mosley and calleds for mandatory pitstops which wont help at all http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/82186

TeamTipper

Go back too the early 90's rules. Optional pitstops and maybe also look at the tracks. The new tracks are far too common these days. Long straight and heavy braking. That doesnt tend to increse overtaking. Rival tyre compays e.g Michelin Goodyear and others make it more intresting and also one tyre ...

Great review IdeFan. Just a question here. Lotus and Virgin seem quite good. Will Hispaina get better? And do they have the funds for the season? Theirs not dout the car isn't too bad as Dallara are a sucessful team in other forms of motorsport and having Geoff Wills is a big start but could Hispain...

I think Jean Told is againest the 107% rule. Even though on Autosport he said that the rule could come back next year Jean knows that the last time the rule came in the grid shrinked to 22 cars. Personally its not fair if the small new teams dont get a chance to race againest the big rich teams.

TeamTipper

The air duct is a superb idea and a smart engineering idea from Mclaren. The idea of F1 is to create and yes it does cost money eg: running windtunnels testing developing the duct. However making the rules supertight does not cut cost. I say good on Mclaren and shame the other 12 teams. Mario enter ...

Is the car too small??? Virgin are in a bit of trouble atm

TeamTipper

The new part of the Bahrain track. Boring and slow. Why did they do it in the first place? 6 extra cars? wow!

TeamTipper

Glad to hear that Moss is ok. A true gentleman a nice friendy man and a all time F1 great. get well soon Sir Stirling Moss

He didnt. In fact mansell tested for Jordan in 1995 and almost got the Jordan drive in 1996 but he was already 43 years old! weay too old for F1 standard

TeamTipper

This seems to be a trend in F1 of late. I just dont see many engine manafactors left in F1 soon.

TeamTipper

It also depends on the engines. Ferrari and mercedes might save fuel because the engine designs for the cars like weight power etc but cosworth teams might need to drive slower to save the fuel.

TeamTipper

I have to agree with Mario about Stefan GP. But was the USF1 any better? In fact I think they would be even less of a Professinal F1 team. What i dont get is that the USF1 team announced this time last year planned to enter and said they had the money funding and everything ready. Lotus had alot les...

TeamTipper

Mine is BMW Williams 2000-2005. Yes wins and poles but horror reliableilty in 2001-2002 where the car was the fastest but never got serious results. 2005 was a good start and looking quite good but a complete was of a season for Webber. 2004 was a waste. To blame Williams or BMW? I have to say is wh...

TeamTipper

I think if they can get the FIA Safety Standerds then I see why not.

if its on the F1 Calender will Mazzacane return????

TeamTipper

In a few years time the shark cover fins will be old news and a team say Red Bull will find another engineering invention and teams will moan and complain (2009 Diffuser issue). To me Formula One has to many rules this and that. Same with engines just V8s. I wish that the FIA open the rules a bit.

TeamTipper

Now thats what I would call a awesome F1 track.

TeamTipper

F1 is the Engineering sport of the world.The Engine covers arent the best looking however if the FIA banned to many enginnering inventains f1 will become a one-make series like Indycar.

TeamTipper

This news is so big for Formula One. At least now that every time Lewis overtakes someone Nicole will jump up and down like in 2008 lol

TeamTipper

Campos look likely to make it in all the races so thats something. USF1 isn't taken seriously for one reason. Americans. I know there are quite a few Americans who like Formula One but in reality NASCAR is their main Motorsport and thats why their lacking funding and sponsors. Stefan will be on the ...

Taku wont change it. As Indycars are all Honda powered and Sato being a Hondas main driver he will keep the write red helmet as thats Hondas Colours

TeamTipper

Poor Vettel. A great F1 driver with a surname which means Witch or Bitch

TeamTipper

Lewis Hamilton got in F1 because of his skill over money and he helped the team choosing Button.

Eurosport had a good commentay in Ben Edward and John watson.
However Dr Palmer i think was funny. In the Mid 90's with alot of the pay drivers being slow and always holding up the leaders he loved them so much

TeamTipper

Kubica new helmet is awesome. I wish Button kept his glow in the dark helmet his old one is dull and boring. Schumachers red helmet has to go. Its just so odd being red and the car being the Silver Arrows.

TeamTipper

JV is old grey and bald. Saying that we have now Schumacher (possibly both brothers!) De La Rossa and now J.V. F1 should have 2 classes. Young and Old.
