    i think codemasters’ f1 2010 and 2011 are absolutely dreadful and will not be purchasing any of their products again.

    F1Yankee commented on the post, Tensions rise in Bahrain as protest anniversary passes 1 week, 1 day ago

    i disagree. merc, ferrari and renault are roughly equivalent on power, so the advantage clearly swings to the one that can make the same amount of power with the least amount of fuel.

    What definitely needs improving is the aerodynamics and the reliability

    oh, is that all?

    F1Yankee replied to the forum topic Massa criticises new Ferrari in the group Group logo of F1F1 2 weeks ago

    THIS is why ferrari and fillipe have stuck together – he’s a strong team player.

    F1Yankee replied to the forum topic Which engine will score the most points in 2012? in the group Group logo of F1F1 2 weeks ago

    no way is cosworth scoring any points this year. inferior to the competition in every way, as are the only 2 teams using it.

    it’s a shame the rules prevent development and variety across the entire car, but […]

    i’m sorry this isn’t quite working out for you. a man’s gotta do what a man’s got to do. this remains the best, and my favorite, motorsports website by a mile.
