Anyway, seems I was wrong as he never scored while in Minardi.

Yeah, it was nice back then. I still remember Hakkinen losing the Spanish GP in 2001, because of an engine failure, few hundred meters before the finish line.

That is a good looking car. In a year or two, I can totally see the Electric Formula taking off with short sprint races.

Rather than force and shoehorn electric into F1, branch off into its own race makes far more sense.

Yep, l agree 100% - A spec series using the Radical or Atom would be terrific!

Wow, he doesn't even take the last corner flat out.

It also sounds like he's short-shifting at places.

That and he's very easy with the steering as well. Such a difference comparing, say, his first year with someone like Vettel or Hamilton.

Power transition looks very good, zero wheelspin. Only sound is horrible, like overclocked toaster.

Give it a proper paint job and slightly larger wheels and its not too bad looking. reminds me of a car from the 20s or 30s, i am going to try to find a picture.

FFS they're all at it now.

In Ireland they have Lewis Hamilton pimping out car insurance. Its an alright ad i suppose except whenever I see it I have to stop myself from punching Hamiltons face. I dont want to break my TV.

You guys should see M. Schumacher in commercials for Fiat Multipla. There is only one on Youtube (Dinner scene) but there were several more. All crappy as hell

At least they didn't dub him in the Italian version, iirc.

Why the hell are they dubbing Alonso now?

Massa with Sauber overtaking Montoya exactly like Webber did with Alonso in Eau rouge.

At least we know that's parmesan cheese on his spaghetti given what he's advertising, right?

Webber's far classier. At least he promotes stuff from his home town and isn't some corporate puppet.

Chin muscles. The brace was for his head while his chin gets a workout.

Oh, I don't have a problem with Marks endorsements, either. I'd buy Canberra Milk if I could! Maybe if I start those chin exercises he does in the ad, I could get a drive as well...

How do I find out how many posts I have in this thread? I know it's not a lot but it's good to know.

Have you guys seen this? The BBC outro from last year. Amazing song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsyOgYjrV8I

Find the thread on the thread listing of OT then click on the number of posts. I have around half of what Ark has :/

There is no excuse for anyone to have not seen this before

It's quite sad that the final race (we'll count Brazil as the final race for 2009) for the last 3 years has been downright unbelievably incredible, but this year, the final races will be near on pointless unless McLaren pull 8 seconds out of their arse.

---

Also, a point that I haven't seen anyone talk about, but is it just me....or has the BBC F1 production been cut down by quite a bit this year? Thinking about it now, last year's pre and post race shows and the F1 Forum all seemed to be..'better' than this year so far. Obviously minus the almighty Legard.

Then again, it might have just been that there was far more to be interested in/talk about when there's five different people within arms reach of the title.
