    lopes commented on the post, Chandhok expects to remain a reserve driver 5 months ago

    Me too @Cyclops_PL, as can probably be inferred by my avatar. I started watching F1 in the late 80′s and was a huge Ayrton fan.

    Was truly happy to see the Senna name back in F1 with Bruno. I hope this comes […]

    Here’s a link with the story (in portuguese):

    lopes commented on the post, Chandhok expects to remain a reserve driver 5 months ago

    Not necessarily related to any of the news in the round up, but there are a number of sources in the Brazilian press citing “strong rumours” that Bruno Senna has signed for the available seat at Williams and that […]

    lopes commented on the post, Lotus in limbo with midfield out of reach 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    @Silverkeg , I agree with you that their achievement this year was good, I wasn’t saying it was bad. My point was that they invested a lot in personnel and equipment, and I assume they’re doing the same in […]

    lopes commented on the post, Lotus in limbo as midfield remains out of reach 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    Well, I obviously meant 2012…

    Although after my typing mistake, I can’t help but think about Rush, now.

    lopes commented on the post, Lotus in limbo as midfield remains out of reach 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    Well, I’d say that they’re now one of the newER teams, but I wouldn’t call them new anymore.

    Given their investment in equipment and personnel, anything else than fighting in the midfield in 2112 would be an […]

    lopes commented on the post, Lapped cars allowed to pass safety car in 2012 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    Yes, completely agree. This kind of thing works for ovals, where you run a minimum of 200 laps, so it’s fine if you “waste” a few getting everyone sorted out.

    But I reckon it’ll probably be worse than it was […]

    lopes commented on the post, Ferrari confirms departure from FOTA 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Well, I’m sure he wouldn’t say “I don’t use Twitter because my bosses don’t allow me to”. So I wouldn’t take his statement as necessarily true.

    I think people forget about some things really quickly. I completely agree with @infy. We should be comparing 2011 with the previous seasons, not to the 70′s or 80′s.

    I remember they made a study in 2007/2008 […]

    lopes replied to the forum topic Where to sit and where to watch at Interlagos? in the group Group logo of Going to the Brazilian Grand Prix at InterlagosGoing to the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos 6 months, 1 week ago

    I’d say Sector A at the entrance to the pits. You can see most of the pit straight and the entrance to turn 1, then half the back straight and turns 4 and 5, the entrance to turn 6, as well as multiple bits and […]

    Yes, and he almost said it in a very nice way, didn’t he? I liked it…

    I noticed, but so did Vettel and Massa, IRC.

    I just love these videos, Keith. It’s one of the things I’m starting to look forward to after a race.

    Thanks! Please keep ‘em coming!

    Super-softs didn’t help Ferrari too much in Singapore…

    I think his best chance of a podium will be in Brazil, where he tended to really shine in the past – and all positions in the championship will likely […]

    I tend to agree, @ndinyo. I was always surprised as to how both he and Tony Fernandes can find the time to run their F1 teams.

    The energy drink guy certainly does things differently…
