rob73 commented on the post, Ecclestone vows Bahrain return as journalists arrested 1 year ago
Wow, 28000 people attended the race. Just think, the British GP has been under threat so often, but yet always has a big crowd of FANS. I think this just says it all about F1 really and what it now stands for.

Yes, and we can pay our licence fee to give you the privilege!

Perhaps the FIA should just ditch the faux overtaking aid (a legal driver activated aero device). It does not really bring much to the racing and now appears to be the new loophole to be exploited.

It must be illegal if Red Bull did not think of it!

Exactly the same here. I thought I may miss being able to watch the races live, but in the end I was not bothered. I Listened to the Five-live coverage, expecting it not to be that good, but actually it was pretty […]

I agree with you completely. I have followed F1 for 25 years (it really does not seem that long ago that Senna, Prost, Mansell and Piquet ruled). I have not felt the urge to subscribe to sky. If F1 disappears from […]

rob73 commented on the post, Ecclestone wants customer cars for new teams 1 year, 2 months ago
In theory this is a good idea. It allows a new team to step up into F1 and run a car, without the expense of creating a whole new F1 level design set-up. This happened in the Sixites/Seventies where new teams […]

Perhaps the car is so good they don’t want to tip the opposition off! Kimi for WDC!

Yep, GPL is tops. Trying to take the Masta kink flat (the key to a really fast lap at the old Spa) in a car that drifts and slides around, exceeded all the other race games I’ve played.
The real gem within the […]

I thought GP2 by Geoff Crammond was fantastic. These days, games seem to be eye candy first, then gameplay.
I got into Grand Prix Legends, which is a mega challenge and probably the ultimate racing simulation. […]

The noses on these cars appear to be very dangerous. In a crash, all the force is concentrated a very small area at the point of impact.

rob73 commented on the post, F1 quitters return to racing elsewhere in 2012 1 year, 3 months ago
F1 is too expensive and too much of a closed shop for manufacturers to come in now. It is easier and cheaper for car manufacturers to be associated with Touring cars and the like, as the general public can […]

Design inspiration taken from Ferrari 312 t4. One of the worst looking F1 cars ever, although Jody Scheckter did become world champ……

rob73 commented on the post, Who should drive for Force India in 2012? 1 year, 5 months ago
The line-up should be Di Resta and Hulkenberg. I would think that Mercedes would like this to happen, so they can pick one or both to graduate to the works team, if good enough.
Sutil improved over the season […]

I can remember seeing Kimi in a Formula Renault, years ago at Silverstone. He absolutely blitzed the rest of the field in pretty dodgy weather conditions.
When he was on it in the Mclaren he was awesome. The […]

I would guess that the BBC had very little say in the races they will cover.
SKY are showing them all anyway, so basically this years BBC coverage is no more than an attempt to ‘convert’ people to the way of […]
