NEWS:

Ferrari has developed its own reactive ride-height system for 2012 F1 car

Although it is understood that it has not received official approval yet, it is likely that a decision will be made in time for Ferrari to be able to fit the device to its 2012 car prior to the first pre-season tests.

Alfonso fears Kubica the most

"I spoke to him yesterday and I am sure when he is going to return he is going to be the best driver of the group."

Massa says he can beat Tiflonso

"I am sure that I can fight against Fernando not just to have the same time, but to make a better time than him - so to be even faster than him."

Smedley would die to say this "Alonso, Felipe(baby) is faster than you.... MOVE BITCH"

Rumors:

- The new Ferrari is ugly
- It has failed the mandatory crash-test

Can anyone confirm these rumors plz?

Edit: If I did that to every Webber pic I thought looked a little erotic, all pictures of him I post would be pixilated. Anyway...
Holy shit, dude! I thought it looked like your work, but I hadn't known you to tinker with the images much, just animate them. Did you do that right after the race or only in the last few days?

PS. I seriously can't believe it. Fucking amazing shit, dude. Sucks you won't get any credit for it, but it also means that you're not one to stoop to putting watermarks on your pics. <3

Needs your country code, knob. Only I can post my number here without a code because he's a fucking Aussie, like me. Aussie.

Also, he's one of two people who read this thread and will be going to the Melbourne GP in a few months. The other person is me.

Thanks, saw the footage on the season review and coincidentally everyone was posting Webber pics at the time so I created the gif then. I don't mind not getting credit as long as people get enjoyment out of my gifs.

I think he deserved a custom tag for his great work along time ago.

Imagine if Webber did really visit GAF; he'd think we're all barmy.

It would be awesome and he'd obviously like us, because we're the best Sport-GAF, but I wouldn't turn down my snarky comments and quips.

Senna to Williams

Petrov to Caterham

The nephew of the late Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna will fend off veteran Rubens Barrichello and German Adrian Sutil, insiders have told BBC Sport.

The Brazilian impressed when racing for Renault in the last eight races of 2011 and drove in 2010 for new team HRT.

Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado, who raced for Williams in 2011, has already been confirmed in one of the team's cars.

A sponsorship package from Brazil is believed to have eased Senna's route into the seat, but Williams are also understood to have been impressed by the flashes of genuine promise he has showed in 2011, including an impressive seventh place on the grid for his first grand prix with Renault at the demanding Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium.

Senna's manager Chris Goodwin refused to comment, while Williams were unavailable.

Barrichello, who will be 40 this year, had been hoping to extend his F1 career into a 20th season but it seems his hopes have been dashed despite proving in the last two seasons with Williams that he still has the ability and commitment required.

The only remaining free seat in F1 for 2012 is the second HRT alongside veteran Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa.

But Barrichello is considered unlikely to want to drive for the back-of-the-grid Spanish team.

Veteran Italian Jarno Trulli's tenure at Caterham - who raced as Lotus last year - is also believed to be insecure, but Russian Vitaly Petrov, who drove for Renault in 2010 and 2011, is tipped to get that seat.

There was support among some sections of the Williams team for Barrichello keeping the drive, on the basis that he is a proven talent and because of his renowned technical expertise.

Williams had the worst season in their history in 2011 and are in the middle of a rebuilding process, with a new technical director, chief aerodynamicist and chief engineer, and some in the team felt they could benefit from continuity of drivers and Barrichello's experience.

However, sources close to Williams say the relationship between the driver and the team's management soured over time as a result of the slide in the team's results.

Sutil, who has raced for Force India in their various guises in F1 since 2006, was the early front-runner for the final Williams seat.

But his chances have diminished since it became clear that he could face charges for an alleged nightclub assault on one of the executives of the Renault team - now Lotus - after last year's Chinese Grand Prix.

So have we seen any pictures of Kubica's hand now that he was at least half way back to jumping into a F1 car. or did we ever have stories that he recovered 100% mobility with his hand?

It was his hand that was nearly cut off right?

Or were they going to have to redesign the cockpit for him to drive an F1 car again?

I'm still grumpy that Kubica got his full pay from last season even though he was out the entire season due to a non-f1 injury. what 14million I thought I heard.

This was from June:

He was going to test a Formula Renault fairly soon I think, so I guess that his arm is at least functional. Probably has a fair bit of work to build up strength in it again though.

I'm back! I potentially have one of the greater(est) Webber hi-def videos, it's pretty comical. As long as you guys click the ads on the YouTube video?

I just paid $200 for greaseandgears.com , I know, I'm stupid but I was bound & bent on getting it. So F1Gaf who wants to enlist in helping me write for greaseandgears ? I also plan on writing about other motorsports, planes, other mechanical things etc.

Or if anyone wants to donate for my stash......pm me for my PayPal address!


Btw 24h of Dubai is on, uploading now!

If you can write a post, you can write for this haha. I'm still debating the best way to go about this:

Wordpress
Blogger
Drupal
?

Back to F1, I'm uploading a funny Webber clip.

I'd be up for it but not sure how often/what I'd write about. Sounds like fun though!

That Ironman picture is hilarious.
