Grand Prix Rejects

That is ridiculous. All what is needed is. In a 60 lap race the tires should last Super Soft (10 laps) Soft (20 laps) Medium (30 laps) Hard (45 laps) Interm. Rain The thing is Pirelli can't just magically do that because the compounds don't last the same amount of laps at every track, as Mario expl...

I don't think Lewis did it just for the money, maybe he is counting on Mercedes being the best in 2014 when the new regs are up. After all they are an engine manufacturer and engines will supposedly play a bigger deal after 2014.

Mister Fungus

Telegraph reporting that Hamilton is off to Mercedes, while Perez is off to McLaren.

Mister Fungus

Frijns definitely impressed, he's currently ahead of more experienced Bianchi and Bird in FR3.5

Wasn't there recently talk about a street track in Cape Town I think that would go around a football stadium?

From Taki Inoues twitter

What the hell is @LewisHamilton doing? He showed 1 mil followers team logger data of comparison 2 cars. He seems to be super pissed off.

BTW Taki's twitter is a goldmine

I remember Martinez leading the WSR at one point in I think mid 2009, and after that he didn't get any points.

Is there any doubt about Grosjean's ability now?

Mister Fungus

Jay Bee, there can be no other

When they showed the whole monstrous Trulli train that Seranovich created, going into the tunnel it was really obvious something bad was going to happen. The weirdest thing was that he was defending like that without the rear wing for a few laps already.

Mister Fungus

Extreme amateurism today in both series first this in GP2:

And then a driver without a front wing crashing into a driver without a rear wing, only to go airborne (no video yet) in GP3.

Well Windsor tweeted that Chavez has announced a public holiday due to to Pastor's win.

Williams winning, this is sooooooo good. Crazy, crazy, crazy

Mister Fungus

FWIW, I don't like the Pirelli tyres either. It discourages people from pushing it in qualifying and the racing is now too dependent on tyre strategy and not enough on the drivers. How many times have drivers tried to launch an attack on another only for it to peter out because they have to look af...

Mister Fungus

I expect Mark Webber to finish 4th

Mister Fungus

Is this the first time one of the "new" teams outqualified the existing one on merit (vergne on the same tyres, not schumi)?

Mister Fungus

It's funny isn't it, the comparisons with 82 are probably about right, but the odd thing is this season isn't really a transition year, we've had pretty much no change in the regulations except the banning of the blown diffuser, and that hasn't changed too much really. In 1982 there was a whole hos...

Mister Fungus

When was the last time that the first 4 starting on the grid weren't exactly considered favorites for the win? I can't recall this happening in the longest of times

Mister Fungus

I agree with Karthikeyan that this is pure bullying of the backmarkers. I mean they crash into him and still blame him for the problems. That's just arrogant. At least Button admitted it was his own fault (and he was fighting for position back then, not even lapping).

Mister Fungus

Also Sauber was poop in straight line speed. Alonso was regularly faster in S3 where the overtaking is most likely to happen So even if Checo would've overtaken Alonso it would've probably happened somewhere else on the track where it's more risky and harder to overtake. And this is coming from a Fe...

It seems like the track is the white between the black lines. Brain is playing tricks with me!

Clearly the lack of Kolles's organizational prowess is being felt

Ferrari - I mean what was that?

I don't understand. This is the first time HRT actually made laps in FP2 of the first GP weekend and people are complaining?

If you have a smartphone you can use SoundHound or a similar app. Basically you play the music, you put your phone near it and it will detect what song it is. This of course pertaining that the song is popular enough for them to have it in their database

Mister Fungus

Ah! Pedro de la Rosa started his F1 career in the 90's, so Schumacher isn't the only one from that decade. 90's ain't dead.. .yet.

Mister Fungus

There are a couple of Brazilians coming through the ranks, Felipe Nasr being one of them. So even if Senna/Massa retire next year I don't think it'll be long until another Brazilian pops up. Italians on the other hand...

Eh hopefully we don't get a repeat of the truck driving in the wrong direction before the rolling start incident.

Here a network of local televisions show F1, and one of them always and I mean ALWAYS plays that song before free practice. Followed by Robie Williams Supreme video which is also motorsport related.

Mister Fungus

Trulli is still in F1

Mister Fungus

In the article posted about Bruno Senna there are also talks about Petrov replacing Trulli at Caterham which I have been expecting for quite some time now.

Nah it says in the article "don't expect an attractive car".
