When I watch videos of huge crashes with no consequences for the pilots involved, I always think of the one involving Fittipaldi jr at Monza in 1993.

This is the one I usually remember (at least, I think it is)... Brundle, Melbourne 1996:

Question about the F1RaceManager Bonus Question:

Both 5th and 6th answers seem correct to me. Which one is the right one?

6th one by the looks of it (No wins for Red Bull). Tilke did design it but I've never heard of a Johann Tilke.

I wonder where the DRS zone will be.

For best effect I would imagine on the short straight after the long one. Use the long one to get into position, then use DRS on the short one to beat them into the slow left hander.

Only if you buy me one first :)

Team Lotus is very quickly establishing itself as the 'everybody loves them' team (unless for some crime against nature that you're a GL fan).

The only new team that I want to see continue in the sport. Aren't they getting a new exhaust solution for Turkey?

I'll be as bold to say they could score their first point next year. Maybe this year with some DNFs helping them.

Possible. They could catch or even overtake Williams - if Williams still struggle in European part and Lotus upgrades work as planned.

Sad state of affairs for Williams, who showed much promise in testing.

Some great stuff for free online.

Craig Scarborough aka Scarbf1 being the best.

Race Car Engineering is excellent too, they are doing some great stuff on the Le Mans cars at the moment.

Here is an interesting piece based on golf ball dimples,in that it reduces drag.
Supposedly Ferrari tried the idea out for a while.

in their pre-season guide, the guardian described KK as 'F1's human highlight reel'.
he is very exciting, seems capable of points finish. but he needs to bring that car to a podium once or twice this year, on pace not incident, to be swooped up by a big team.

if he gets a 2nd in monaco I would expect to see a much bigger CASIO logo on the side of RB in 2011...

Highest I see him finishing this season is around 5th, at this point. I hope the upgrades come and he has a chance at a podium but I don't think it's likely. Especially since there are 4-7 faster cars capable of being on the podium any given race.

Mehhh, I'm done speculating I want more fucking racing. :(

Well it depends, lets see how they tackle the european leg and the tire strats there and of course, any updates for spain etc.

Turkey will be an interesting race, given the nature of the circuit and the projected tire wear. 3 stops with good race pace (read preserve tires) should win the race.

the 3 week gap is terrible. China seems like an age ago. I watched it recently in HD to see it from a different angle. what a race! its not the Tilke tracks that were to blame, it was the actual formulae. Cars could not operate effectively close to another car, DRS is a fantastic solution.
Just enough to counteract the negative effect of being behind a car, but not enough to A button past them.

I can see alot of "China's" this year.

what a nice guy. dare we dream to see him at Ferrari at some point? or is Perez the Massa replacement?

I'd love to see Kobayashi in a Ferrari (or any other top team for that matter) but realistically I think Perez is most likely to replace Massa since he's already backed by Ferrari - he's in their driving academy.

Yeah, I really enjoy watching him as a driver. I remember seeing that race in Japan last year and he totally made it. Entertaining, aggressive without being inconsiderate. Definitely see him as a future champion.

On that note, has Japan ever produced an F1 champion?

I'm really a fan of Kobayashi and would love to see him in the Ferrari, but at this point, I don't care about the team, as long as he gets a competitive car and stays in Formula 1. I want to see him on the podium this year and I don't care how he does it.

Not in the slightest. I think only 4-5 Japanese drivers have ever received championship points and within that tiny group, KK is the no.1 point scorer.

My mistake, Kamui is not quite no.1 yet and in fact there are 7 Japanese point scoring drivers...

44 Takuma Sato
42 Kamui Kobayashi
16 Satoru Nakajima
9 Kazuki Nakajima
8 Aguri Suzuki
5 Ukyo Katayama
2 Shinji Nakano

Sato is way ahead of Kobayashi, actually had a podium finish
you have to take the changed scoring system into consideration
