    George commented on the post, Hulkenberg on top as second day of Barcelona test ends 13 hours, 34 minutes ago

    It would be just Sutil’s luck to be kicked out of the team right before they have their best season.

    George commented on the post, Rosberg says Mercedes are “working much better” now 1 day, 13 hours ago

    @mike
    I think the current top three are all strong enough to survive a short blip in form, McLaren were nowhere at the beginning of 2009 but they clawed their way back. Ferrari seem to be the weakest in depth of […]

    George commented on the post, Mercedes W03 to make public debut as testing resumes 1 day, 13 hours ago

    I’m surprised no-one’s commented on the Williams-Wurz thing. That seems like a good move for a team with two relative noobies, but how long is it since he was last in an F1 car? In any case I hope it pays off, […]

    Nice consistency there Damon, that’s the name of the game (well not really, but you get my drift). I often find myself stuck by myself too, the fear of a big rating drop is usually enough to keep my concentration […]

    They would have to re-scan it, so it’s unlikely to happen in the near future. They do have quite a few former F1 tracks like Zandvoort, Brands, Watkins Glen, Aida, Indy (might have forgotten some) though.

    It has to be Geoff Crammond’s Grand Prix for me (the original), nothing can beat the nostalgia of watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPTN4hnuShw&feature=related and seeing ‘Carlos Sanchez’ and ‘Kurt […]

    That’s true, Petrov is a giant compared to Trulli and Kovalainen

    Well, if they’d gotten a win they might have stayed in the sport. They certainly came close on one or two occasions, maybe a better driver would have tipped the balance.

    It wouldn’t be the first time an F1 design team forgot to use common sense

    George commented on the post, Rosberg says DRS and tyres helped Schumacher close gap in 2011 6 days, 14 hours ago

    Which races are starting later? If European races are that would suggest it’s for the American market.

    George commented on the post, Pirelli choose softer tyres for first three races 1 week ago

    We didn’t have DRS or KERS in 2010 though.

    I don’t think the V8 Supercars have the NTM.

    Ah, that’d be why then, the FFB issue might be to do with the NTM too, will have to look into that. The boot is the only part of Watkins I dont suck at, shorter lap […]

    having pitted for repairs and a 15 second penalty for entering the pits wrong (apparently)

    Heh, got one of those myself at Okayama. I think the pitlane starts before the penultimate corner, although can’t say […]

    Entertaining race, the leader came in during the last caution for tyres and managed to make up about 6 places before the end of the race. You got really unlucky with that smash Joey, was really dumb for the guy to […]

    Good news! Hopefully the obligatory Japanese Toyota driver doesn’t hold Ant and Seb back too much.

    Well Hulk did the same thing to Di Resta in Valencia last year, what goes around comes around.
