Is the FIA stupid? Because NASCAR tried doing this and the ratings for NASCAR took a sharp nosedive!!

That is the worst excuse I've ever heard. You'd have had better luck saying "my dog ate my livery".

I'm going to use that excuse now. I have no idea for what, but I'll use it.

Perez -- Nico Hulkenwho? Pretty obvious who the better Force India driver is...

JENSON BUTTOOOONNNN -- has not won the Hungarian Grand Prix. But he was pretty strong.

Re-watching this race with the British commentary, and it's easy to believe why people think F1 is more boring with the British feed.

Holy crap the UK commentary team sounds bored, except for Crofty.

Edit: They also like making up pronunciations for names -- like Q-Beck.

Seriously, that's one of the worst stewarding calls in years.

That's like if, in 2011, they gave Massa penalties for every time Hamilton crashed into him.

Perez getting a penalty is the worst penalty since Fuji 2008. Absolutely HORRIBLE call.

Different topic here. Anyone expecting Raikkonen to leave Ferrari early this year? Because if his performances don't start improving -such as today which was lazy if anything- I wouldn't be surprised to see him out of the team or even F1 altogether. He's not going anywhere. The money has been spent...

Max Chilton -- Nice job, noob. Felipe Massa -- Go to NASCAR if you want to do that shite. Bathplug off. Williams -- "Racer's racer" my ass. TV Director -- This guy was off his meds. Cynon - You missed such an awful race mate. No I didn't, I just wasn't in IRC because I realized my TV was ...

And the championship goes to Britney. What bathplug bullshit. I've felt this ever since Australia, and it might seem harsh or something, but... I want Rosberg to have a couple mechanical failures to balance things. I don't. To put it simply, if Hamilton never wins the title again, I'll be a happy m...

Well, I'm surprised that anyone wants to start a new F1 team from scratch in this day and age. Yet, I'm not surprised that Colin Kolles is the man to helm the effort, as he has done so before. He is probably going to sign Adrian Sutil again because he has driven for Kolles under 3 different team ow...

Cynon

I can only see this ending with the big teams even more scared to take a risk with signing a new driver... And Force India have already responded to the suggestion that FP1 is cut by stating that removing that session would not cut costs. Furthermore, their complaint is that removing that session wo...

Frank Williams pretends he's sleeping so he doesn't have to listen to Nigel whinge.

F1 becomes more "road-relevant".

Henri Racing Technologies wish to enter Clément Grandmaison into the Lime Rock round after his heroics in Chicago as long as that's okay. If not, he replaces Kankaanpää in the #42. If the #28 can still elbow its way into the Lime Rock entry list, Darren Older Jr will be racing it. Roda is away on G...

One-off entrants for Lime Rock Park: #8 - Bosevic #34 - Kerr #35 - Cockburn #36 - Martin #96 - Duck, III Notes: - As far as I know (meaning, what's on the Wiki page ), Lime Rock Park will be the last race for the #99 truck. - Races 7 and 8 will be run on the same day -- meaning, when I finish runnin...

Give every team GP2 cars with GP2 engines. They seem to produce better racing, anyways. Allow other engine manufacturers in after the following season.

Why is there not a movie being made about him? O_o

Cynon

Bathplug the po-lice!

Bianchi - The man of the hour. Doesn't matter what happens to him.
Ericsson - Kamui who?

I love Grosjean.

Cheering against him hurts.

A lot.

I think this could be Alonso's last season with Ferrari as there's more noise from them stating how much support he has within the team. Thats always a bad sign and its not the first the year. I personally disagree, mainly because I can't see anywhere else realistic for him to go. I expect him to s...

Rossi = hero.

Seriously, is the weather section on the official F1 site preset to show rain on raceday during the run-up only to change to sun as we get to the race? Yeah, they try to lure in viewers with that. That's actually kind of brilliant. I daresay that unless Merc doesn't lock out the front row or get bo...

Clockwork Racing is still looking for two drivers. Talent is optional but not exactly preferred. Cars most likely to be bright, obnoxious orange and the drivers will be guaranteed not to have blank white helmets. I can offer you Verna Klien, the Austrian who competed in the last three rounds of 201...

Anton Bosevic is interested in a one-off appearance in one of the races. You can enter a one-off team, just don't expect much of a livery if you're asking me to do it. I'm a little bit burned out (momentarily) from doing around 30+ cars for another NR2003 mod. Alternatively... joining an existing t...

The Current State of Formula 1: Before going to sleep I wrote down what I expected the finishing order to be. Got the first 3 right. I missed the race.

Very sad news indeed. Al Pease embodied everything that this website celebrates.

The CG flags on the podium are really tacky.

Yay more reject profile updates! Can't agree on the bit about Vettel's greatness being in question since I can put that down to complacency on his part (being too comfortable with the way things were and forgetting how to handle a teammate that's actually competent) and that I've heard Red Bull thin...

From the previous thread: 2. Cynon, would Renaldi be willing to race for ZimSport next season? Absolutely. I did very much adore the car I made for ZimSport last season, and if the model stays the same, only minor sponsor/number tweaks would be necessary. Regardless of whether ZimSport uses 13/14 or...

Enoch, I seem to recall you quoting Colles in a podcast a few years back, or was it Pérez-Sala?, where he mentioned something silly about percentages. That the team "had extracted 50 percent from the potential of the car" or something similar to that. I can't remember exactly but it was a...
