I would have to agree that Hamiton and Alonso are two of the best in the game, and to be the best you have to be single minded. All drivers are single minded, but some seem more able to turn it on and off than others.

Whilst the potential return of turbos is exciting in one way, imo it will mark the beginning of the end. F1 has never been about money saving or saving the planet. It strikes me as very strange; how the powers that be think that cutting the engines down to 4 cylinders, reducing displacement and adding a turbocharger to be seen to be more "green" will ever work. No one mentions the costs/emissions produced by flying the whole circus from one side of the world to the other constantly, every two weeks for 6 months. Emissions caused by that will be far greater than the output of 24 v8/v10 engines over the course of the season. First they took away the v12’s, then reduced rev limits twice, and now this... F1 has always been the absolute pinnacle of engine and car development/engineering, and it just doesn’t seem the right direction to take for me. Not to mention the sound - there's nothing quite like a V10 F1 car - how will these 4 pot turbos sound....! Edit: and yes, artificial rain? What an absolute crock. you couldn't make it up.....!!

I'm going to take a pun....I'll go for Hamilton for the Championship. Be nice to see a non Champion win it, but thats not going to happen.

It worked for the first and half of the second quali sessions then never updated. Also when it was working it was behind the telly, usually it is in front.

I think F1 would be far more interesting with tires that allowed the potential for the cars to go the whole distance.

Much better start to the year than 2010, one thing I can't understand is why is the rear moving wing only on one part of the track, surely if it could be used on all parts of the track could get more passing? Still keeping with the 1 second rule etc If in doubt... flat out! The words of a true legend |
