    I think this is a viable lightweight alternative to normal roadcar rims. But are they actually lighter than carbonfiber or magnesium wheels?

    Of course they will be cheaper, and appearently very durable. Thermoplastic-polymer composite is the exact same thing as Boeing uses for their new 787 Dreamliner. Probably not the exact same types, but still research in plastics as construction materials have been very good, and we now see the fruits. Who knows, it might find way to the smaller racing series such as Formula Ford or Formula 3.

    FIA Red Bull Formula One World Championship

    Well that is not entirely impossible. If a title sponsor came along and was willing to put down enough money it could be called anything, much like “The IZOD Indycar series”, “Dunlop MSA British Formula Ford Championship” and “Cooper Tires British Formula 3 International Series”.

    I’m sure that Bernie would be more than happy to cash that cheque.

    For all the people who say that Kubica is on their list: Go home!.

    Every single person I have spoken to that has seen him drive in FR2000 and F3 say that his skill of handling the car, conditions, opponents and everything else, was sublime to everybody else. He has amazed very experienced people within the business, and thus I think he deserves a lot more credit than he gets!

    What about the ROC at the end of the season? That could be a nice one :D

    @Scribe, RIISE and others

    I can not understand what it is that sets people off with Vettel. Yes he drives the fastest car, yes he gets pole most of the time. And people thrash him for this saying: “It’s too easy”, “try putting him in a slower car” etc..

    I have never heard anyone doubt that Schumacher is a great driver, although he drove for 5 years in the best car and got pole an extreme amount of times.

    Then there is the argument that Schumacher was very good at giving feedback to his engineers. Who knows how good Adrian Newey would be without Vettel? Who says that it is not the combination of these two, rather than only one of them, making Red Bull so invicible.

    Also some argue that he is only fast because the team prefers him over Webber (Again people never used this as an argument against Schumacher). And so what? Is Vettel to blame for being preferred? Wouldn’t you like to be the one that the boss likes the best? Would people not tell you that securing a top spot in a big company would be a nice achievement?

    Yes they would.

    I do not say that Vettel is the greatest ever. Hamilton and Alonso are both great drivers, but I would like to see some new and better argument as to why he can not be considered to be in their league.

    As I understood from the interview with the guy from Cosworth on here, they were already in the process of designing and developing the engine for 2013. I think that it would be too late for McLaren to start now. If they want to break free from Mercedes, they have already taken the descision. It could be a nice way for them to go, but if they have not started yet (I bet you that they haven’t), there is simply not time for completing it properly for 2013. It would make good sense for them to use Mercedes power until 2015, and have their engine ready by 2016. This way they could use all the developement done by Mercedes and the other teams, to make their engine the best possible.

    There can be no doubt about that McRae and Loeb are good racers, BUT they are rally drivers. We have seen how difficult it is to go from Formula 1 to Rally with Kimi Raikkonen. If I had to name one driver that could win the WDC this season and does not have a Formula 1 seat I would go for Tom Kristensen. He is simply not to be overlooked. I mean 7 wins at Le Mans he could have epic fights with Schumacher!

    I quite like Newey, maybe because I like the way that he really starts out with looking at the regulations without prejudice, and then creates clever solutions around the rules.

    This can be said about Brawn too, and that is why I think Newey has the upper hand here.

    “Yo dawg I heard ya liked racing cars, so we took out your seats, put in a roll cage, changed your suspension, and fitted slick tyres. So now you cant use your car every day. How cool is dat?!”

    Nice idea, Xzibit.

    I can see one good reason for moving to Ferrari, both now and then. Try and recall how many teams that have the same name as they did in 1994 or even 1999. I checked, the official team names all changed except Ferrari (they had to leave out the Marlboro).

    Ferrari is a place that is secure. You know they will stay in Formula 1, and you know that there will not be somebody else taking it over, making a different strategy or, taking the focus away from racing.

    Why not have it pedal operated, so that when the driver hits the brakes it goes down automatically because he’s only got two feet, which I think it’s supposed to anyway?

    It does exactly that. From the 2011 Formula 1 Technical Ragulations:

    The system will be disabled by the control electronics the first time the driver uses the brakes after he has activated the system.

    Hmm, I don’t know why, but I liked Jaguar back when they were called that, because my favourite toy car was a Jaguar, even further back. So I desperately hoped that they would become front runners one day. Then they got taken over by Red Bull, I loved the way that they had ambitions and so continued to follow them, then when Vettel won in Italy 2008 I was instantly his fan.

    This all came together in Abu Dhabi 2010, where I actually cried with Vettel, and I was so happy that I played “Queen – We are the champions” on repeat the rest of the day. Because of this I will be Red Bull fan the rest of my life.

    Bernie Ecclestones office is situated at the end of the rainbow.

    “Truth in 24” is a very nice film.

    “Cars” is an epic film!

    How come no one mentioned “Gone in 60 seconds”?
