    Max Jacobson commented on the post, Drivers change helmet designs for Monaco weekend 5 hours, 10 minutes ago

    @beneboy I kind of figured, I just unintentionally came across as quite serious!
    Absolutely, I just like the novelty of the idea.

    @beneboy that’s more of a retro element, which is the theme of the helmet. It’s a good deal classier than a graffiti-esque characiture though…

    @beneboy, Skylines are for Infiniti-RBR.

    OmarR-Pepper commented on the post, McLaren say Honda deal reaffirms top team status 1 week ago

    @beneboy +1. As it was said in the forum, Williams decline is hard to overturn. Needless to say, as well, how many “big teams” have faded away throughout F1′s history: Lancia, Maserati, Brabham, even Jaguar (not […]

    Max Jacobson commented on the post, Pirelli keen to avoid claim of Red Bull favouritism 1 week, 3 days ago

    @beneboy thank you for not having clouded judgement. I think if we all try to be impartial about it – just paint all the cars grey and replace all the drivers with robots for the purposes of the thought experiment […]

    Tyler commented on the post, Button says McLaren form is “embarrassing” 1 week, 3 days ago

    @beneboy you are comparing 3.0 litre V10 times with 2.4 litre V8 times. Those engines had another 250 hp or so. That is irrelevant to the point I was trying to make.

    My comment was directed solely to the […]

    OmarR-Pepper commented on the post, Testing return voted down by teams 2 weeks ago

    @beneboy That´s such a great idea. It would work well, especially when there aren’t back-to-back races. One reason they probably consider for not doing it is that some tracks are not “representative of the […]

    @beneboy – Great point, excellently made! After reading Lewis’ autobiography one could almost get the sense he was brought up in a cave, not half a million pounds worth of house! OK, some of that cost derives from […]

    @beneboy No need for apologies for a well thought out and intelligent reply. However this has consequences. In order to reply accordingly, one must have some spare time, which I didn’t have those past few days. So […]

    montreal95 commented on the post, Kubica only looking for F1 return 2 weeks, 5 days ago

    @beneboy Then the V12′s or the 4-litre double turbo charged V8′s of the modern supercars are an old design in your view? I bring this example because we’re talking engines here(see COTD), but there are also […]

    M Dickens commented on the post, Marussia heading for Ferrari engine deal – Symonds 3 weeks ago

    (@celeste) (@beneboy) Am I the only person who finds Button underrated? No he’s not Kimi/Alonso/Hamilton, but he’s often up there – my main criticism I’d level at him is that he’s ridiculously sensetive to car […]

    @magillagorilla , @beneboy -
    Good points. It also occurs to me that Bernie has inherently increased the value of all the top 10 teams. Meaning that if a team wished to sell and was in the top 10 teams, their […]

    BasCB commented on the post, F1 prize money change planned 3 weeks, 3 days ago

    @beneboy, I think its because a bit different type of “market” and level of customizing that teams do.

    I think it can work, and does actually work in MotoGP, in Superbikes its likely even easier, and it works […]

    @beneboy
    I agree with @bascb I think it just proves the point of COTD. All these teams have disappeared because of economy. It’s only been lucky that there were companies who wanted to invest into buying these […]

    @beneboy I completely agree that the DNA of the teams from 2003 is still there, but the changes of ownership have had other effects.

    Jordan/Spyker/Midland/Force India took 2 more changes of ownership and a […]

    BasCB commented on the post, F1 prize money change planned 3 weeks, 3 days ago

    @beneboy I don’t see the danger in having the backmarker teams driving in too old (=uncompetitive) equipment but exactly the opposite.

    Just look at the way STR is only half a team. I think its a far too […]
