    yeah, good news, but we’re waiting for Godot… when i first heard about rFactor 2, Sebastian Vettel still had no WDC in his CV.

    I started watching F1 in 1995, when i was 7. Never smoked a cigarette…
    I think that smoking cigarettes should be forbidden for underage kids, but an adult person is free to hurt himself/herself as he/she pleases. I find hypocritical to bash just cigarettes when alcohol and gambling advertising are still regarded as fully acceptable.

    @aish here’s a possible answer provided by F1PitRadio Twitter account.
    “Not sure, but mechanics appeared to have re-secured a carbon panel in the foot box”

    Actually, I don’t know, and it was during Q1, not FP3. i’m looking for an answer, but there’s only mention of a ‘foreign body’ in his cockpit, without further details.
    Some bad people think that Giedo has just reached puberty… :-D

    Fresh from FP3 in Bahrain…

    Giedo van der Garde:”There’s something in the cockpit… between my legs… it’s moving!”

    As a daily commuter and Kindle owner, the possibility to exploit services that automatically download RSS feeds on the ebook reader is unvaluable, and the F1 Fanatic round-up was among my regular morning reads. I’m sorry I won’t have this chance any more, but I understand that content robbers are far more than a worry nowadays.

    Rumours told that he would have wanted to drive a Ferrari sooner or later, and we Italians had strong admiration for Senna. Probably he’s been the most appreciated non-Ferrari driver of all times in Italy and, if I remember correctly, the ‘Avvocato’ Gianni Agnelli had a soft spot for him, so I’d like to picture how everything would have changed if he had moved to Ferrari in 1996 instead of Schumacher.
    Then, maybe 2-3 seasons trying to improve with his experience that dog of a car. Maybe he would have been able to win a championship earlier than Schumi. And then he would have retired, happy to have reached the tally of his former team-mate Alain Prost.

    If F1 were sprint racing, then we’d have 40 minutes races. In the refuelling era drivers were accustomed to consider each lap as a qualifying lap, now and before the 90s it was a totally different business.
    The rules of the game are clear, everyone knew that tyre management would have been crucial this year (as in the previous 2 seasons), so if you’re not able to set up a car that is capable of taking care of tyres, then you deserve to be below in the standings.

    We can then discuss if tyre management is WAY TOO important…

    i am very far from the epicentre of the earthquake (150-200 km, i live near Monza) and it was unusually strong. when i woke up my bed was shaking, but here there are no important damages, unluckily there are some victims in the towns and villages closer to the centre of the quake. I don’t know if there are damages even in Modena and Maranello, but the ScuderiaFerrari twitter account doesn’t mention anything…

    @roald probably there will be a step in the nose (barely visible from the picture), hopefully not as ugly as the Catheram one…

    I think that the higher nose is just a consequence of the imitation of the dominant design, which has clearly been Red Bull since mid-season of 2009. However, McLaren is trying something different and it’s going well, so maybe next year we can see lower noses and L-shaped sidepods…

    it was end of January 2010, and i was thirsty (literally) of F1. First tests in Jerez were approaching and so i started looking for some good F1 blog. I found an Italian one, but i saw that a lot of fresh news came from a certain “F1 Fanatic” blog, so i decided to jump directly to the original source and join this very lively community.

    i missed Hungary 2010 because i was on holiday and we had no TV. Probably i’ll miss it again for the same reason…
