rixalex Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Good to see an Aussie win the Grand Prix of Canadia. He has been an absolute revelation. To be doing what he is doing would be impressive enough, but to be doing it as pretty much a rookie along side a four times world champ is amazing. Such a nice guy too.

Popular Post Basil B Posted June 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2014 Well another exciting weekend... Nico still dominates, but the Williams making big impact. Lewis only second, his own fault, after running wide at Turn 8 in Q3 and not get a timing he left it down to one more run with nothing in reserve, and the outcome was highly predictable, he over cooked it. Did brilliant to get second though, up to 4th in the first lap, just proves he still has it and the championship is still within in his grasp, needs to focus on pole as it seems even without team orders taking on Nico on the track is a no-no. Is 2014 the year for women in F1? Claire Williams, Susie Wolff, Monisha Kaltenborn & Simona de Silvestro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Today talk of regulation changes to restarts. New idea is rather than have rolling starts once the safety car pulls in, to have another grid start. Rolling starts deemed not exciting enough. Well, they might not be that exciting but at least the poor bugger at the front who has just put in all the hard work building up a lead to then lose it all, has some chance of staying in the lead that is rightfully his. With a grid start every chance the leader could go from a commanding lead to back in fourth or fifth, and all because someone else has had an accident. How is that fair? No consideration to what is right and wrong, just consideration to providing a spectacle no matter what the costs. Just like this stupid double points idea for the last race.

jpinx Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 F1 has completely lost the plot -- really. The days of racing for fun are over, and now it is just a commercial and political circus -- providing jobs for hundreds of small-minded, self-serving egos who are supposed to provide a level playing field. The F1 cars are boring -- F3 is almost as fast and is less technical. LeMans is much more spectacular. WTCC is far more fun to watch. I stopped watching F1, but I keep reading various commentaries and blogs because I was slightly involved with the sport many years ago......

Basil B Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Why not just red flag the race and have them line up on the Grid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Why not just red flag the race and have them line up on the Grid?That's what I thought but apparently Mercedes have a sponsorship deal on the safety car and recovery vehicles that obliges them to stick with using them.

All about the money as usual... I presume if they stop them on the grid there would be a lot of tinkering with the set ups, so possibly a new meaning to the words "team orders" with the no 2 drivers conveniently crashing out.

Chicog Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Not a normal start. Raikonnen's car a mess, red flag, delayed start under safety car when they've replaced a section of crash barrier.

Basil B Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Well an exciting race, Lewis wins from sixth place,Valtten from 14th to second, Yes, an exciting race. Alonso and Vettle Handbags over radio, though I suspect we would have had the same from the two Mercedes drivers if Lewis had being trying to pass Nico for for a few more laps, pity about Nico's gear box but Lewis was beginning to think he was being fitted with seconds, seems Mercedes have sacrificed some reliability for performance.

Mosha Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 How can they have a different set of rules depending on the track? As 1 of the team said. "Why drive off the track with all 4 wheels unless it gives you an advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Why drive off the track with all 4 wheels unless it gives you an advantage? Yes makes NO scene, and then give a driver a 5 sec stop and go and after the race also get a point for doing just that !! Jean-Eric Vergne has been handed one penalty point on his super licence for leaving the track and gaining an advantage during the German Grand Prix.
