I can’t believe that even after a flag marshal comes here and explains the situation there are still people who think their opinions are more valid than the actual facts.
@pamphlet If you want an example of how you’re wrong take a look at the list of fatalities in motorsport and ask yourself how many of those drivers’ names you even recognise, let alone are hailed as greats of the sport.
Pretty disappointed with the Sky coverage to be honest. The race itself was fine, but Sky had little to do with that as it was just the feed provided to them (although the extra bits on the red button are a nice addition). However, the post-race analysis was terrible, and that’s the bit they really need to get right in my opinion.
They spent so much time talking about Mclaren, barely mentioned the mid-field battles and didn’t touch on the last lap. Very poor.The seller has cheaper wheels for sale if you didn’t want to risk so much money: http://cgi.ebay.com/F1-WHEEL-RIM-MARK-WEBBER-RB6-RED-BULL-RACING-Id-No-141_W0QQitemZ310321426116QQihZ021QQcategoryZ2876QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ht_8496wt_1202
I’d contact red bull and verify the sellers claim that: “F1-247 ARE THE WORLDWIDE AGENTS FOR RED BULL RACING”.
Then you’ll know whether they’re trustworthy.
He’s fantastic, and I love all the funny lines he comes up with. But one thing I absolutely can’t stand is that stupid catch-phrase he uses when the lights are about to go out. “Look but never stare”. Someone must have told him it was clever and profound or something…but it really isn’t.
Regarding cameras, the V8s are always way ahead of F1. They’ve got some great onboard cameras like ones above the driver’s head looking down, one underneath the car looking at the suspension and tyre (great for seeing the loads that go through the tyres in the corners and when they smash into kerbs).
Not about the BBC and not a negative thing (so maybe I’ve picked exactly the wrong thread to comment on…) but one thing I really liked were the new additions to the on-screen graphics.
A lot more focus on increases and decreases in time-gaps and laptimes made the race much easier to follow than last year for people who don’t have access to the live timing.
Killer Years is essential viewing for anyone who complains that an obsession with safety has ruined F1.
Has pepsiperfect done something to deserve being talked to like James is doing or are we just feeling in an unfriendly mood at the moment?
That’s a great channel Damon, the documentary about Graham Hill is my favourite on there so far.
Brilliant, will look into the Enzo Ferrari biography and the one you suggested Steph.
Thanks for the suggetions :)
The one for Suzuka that springs to mind for me is Mcnish’s one in Quali in ’02: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFJmJsV_PMk
