    lopes commented on the post, Chandhok expects to remain a reserve driver 1 year, 6 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 1 year, 6 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 1 year, 6 months 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 1 year, 6 months 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 1 year, 6 months 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 1 year, 6 months 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 1 year, 6 months 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.

    lopes commented on the post, Drivers praise 2011 rules changes 1 year, 6 months ago

    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 logoGoing to the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos 1 year, 7 months 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…

    But even if Williams trusts him, doesn’t mean he won’t cause problems…

    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…
