I loved that track in Grand Prix legends! Every corner was on the edge at full throttle and completing a full lap felt like winning the World Championship.

Wow he was looking so well. Very sad, he looked like a great man

Really sad. He was a real feature around Button's garage for quite some time. Didn't look anywhere near 70.

Wow, that's unexpected.

The guys at Kunos laser scanned the old circuit for Assetto Corsa. I can't tell you how cool I think it is that in the not too distant future we'll have a near perfect digital representation of the real thing.
EDIT: Oh jeez, I feel so sorry for Jenson. He seemed like a real character.

Red Bull might "miss it" because they are more likely to have things they don't want to show yet.

I would have thought they'd just run with older parts then given the increased importance of track time this year. It's especially vital for Renault that they turn up as well.

Sucks for JB. He always seems very family oriented.
Ah man, that's exactly my take on it. I almost always only ever footage of him when he was supporting Jenson, which felt like every race. Didn't seem like he was incredibly aged either.Aww
He seemed like a genuinely great guy, always very friendly and extremely supportive of his son... he will be missed.
Fake edit:
There you go. That's dedication for you. Not going to make it any easier for Jenson though, that must hurt incredibly for him
I have a feeling he would've been like a father figure for a number of other drivers as well.True. I had something along the lines of "unless they sandbag it" typed but took it our before I posted it.

The BBC have got rid of Gary Anderson? What a total shithouse.
No doubt they've lined up that bore Allan McNish to be apart of the 2014 F1 coverage full time.

That sucks if true. The stuff coming out of his mouth was usually the most interesting.
Do people really want to hear more talk about how the driver feels than how the machines works?

I really liked Anderson's stuff. That's a bit shit.

terrible news. he seemed like a very nice man
Re: BBC firing Anderson. is something preventing BBC from getting James Allen back on live tv? Like does he prefer radio or something?

Load of fucking shite if true. Gary is their best asset.
RIP John Button, seemed like a good guy.
Eje Elgh, Marcus Ericsson's advisor, last week said that he "couldn't dream that he (Marcus) will drive F1 in 2014" but now after Tony Fernandes' visit to Sweden Eje says:
"-This time I answer no comments."
I've been following F1 on and off for many years now, but I haven't followed Ericsson's career at all. He any good?

BBC probably trying to bring in "someone new, fresh, can relate to younger audiences" I can see a boardroom full of people saying that and patting themselves on the back.
Talking about Gary, his F1 season review podcast on motorsport magazine was great. He has some interesting ways to compare drivers from different eras. He also has some good points, I think, about how easy it would be to update the regulations to allow for taller drivers and not have the "Hulk is too big we don't want to sign him" kind of thing going on.
His driver rankings.

That was pretty crazy. The light was pretty awesome. I wish I could watch Rally on a regular basis.

Average at best.
I think he's well suited to radio and in my opinion is a much better commentator now than he was during his first run on TV. Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever forget some of his infamous moments like JENSON BUTTON WIIIINS!!
The Crofty/Brundle dream team is what BBC should have done had they not sold out to Sky. If they have gotten rid of Gary then that's another terrible decision.

Alonso, who was runner-up to Vettel in 2013, has chosen 14 because he used it during his teenage years in karting and he considers it lucky.
The famously unemotional Raikkonen said he picked seven because "it's the number I already had last year and I saw no reason to change it".
Button asked for 22 because it was the number on his Brawn car when he won his sole world title in 2009.

There will be an auction at Jerez right before the session starts. Bring cash if you want a shot.
I think it's time to update my avatar for the new season. Have there been any good EJ pictures lately?

34 because it is apparently the most uninteresting number between 1 and 99

Vanity panel to avoid backlash at unveil?

Yeah, I hope that is the actual car. It is pitching tents in all the right places.
