    topdowntoedown commented on the post, No more teams about to drop out – Ecclestone 4 months ago

    By my reckoning in 1991 there 36 cars in the pitlane – 19 teams, but Fondmetal and Coloni only entered one car each. Of those 36 cars, 19 of them failed to pre-qualify or qualify at least once during the season, […]

    “AMG” instead of Mercedes High Performance Engines, I reckon. ;)

    Grand Prix du Chateaubriand?
    Or are they talking about Austin?

    topdowntoedown commented on the post, Ferrari name their 2013 F1 car the F138 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    Before the V8s, V10s and V12s?… there were six-cylinder turbos. And I4s. And V8s. And flat-12s. And a few 16s.

    With all due deference to the ghost of Enzo… it’s just an engine.

    topdowntoedown commented on the post, How Lotus are getting the best out of Raikkonen 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    I’m not sure that most drivers would cite Senna as their role model. Some, of course: Hamilton, Senna, Massa, maybe Perez and Kobayashi. But Vettel looks up to Schumacher, Button and others to Prost.

    Told an AUSTRIAN paper that the race might go to Portugal?

    OK, call me cynical but I’ve been Bernie-watching for a while. This is a ploy to convince someone linked to Austria that they’d like the race at the […]

    Whitmarsh: “Things like DRS, which the purists would never have accepted”

    Things like DRS, which purists still think is a horrible, artificial, Disneyesque contrivance to produce ‘overtaking’ although it […]

    topdowntoedown replied to the forum topic Drug/Dope Testing in F1 in the group Group logoF1 7 months, 2 weeks ago

    It’s pretty naive to think that there are no performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) that could help to improve the performance of an F1 driver; we’re not talking about cannabis or cocaine here, or suggesting that […]

    This detail debrief just goes to prove how close to the edge of the envelope the teams are with their cars now. Three years’ stable-ish rules and they’ve wrung every last tiny drop out of the formula, to the […]

    I think you’re right. Which would be an interesting development of the “world” title.

    Just checked Keke Rosberg 1982 (only one win, in Dijon’s “Swiss” GP) and some of the 60s championships where only the […]
