I'd put money on him beating Vettel's time in the car.
I've read it was raining. Poor Webber
Redbull, Williams and Lotus cars on Top Gear will be driving through Milton Keynes.

That was my response too.
Yeah, I'm not sure what that sounds like... but it's not a satisfying sound at all. Absolutely nothing appealing about it (and I don't know how they could make it sound any better).
Makes me feel even better that Mark is getting out now.

Let them pay him first! LOL
remember this is just test bed noise, no proper exhaust, other car noise, and with no bass/resonance that you get normally

Here's the Renault for comparison:

Really interesting analysis of junior records for F1 prospects. Also includes an analysis of junior records for current drivers. Lot of mathy bits but was an interesting read overall.
Rossi is so low
No American company sponsoring him? Two races next year and we haven't had a driver since Scott Speed...Meh indeed. It needs more blowoff/popoff valve whine. That was one of the best things about Indycars when they ran turbos, the recognizable whistle of the turbo blowoff on downshifts. PEACE.
Mercedes Youtube channel is awesome this year
How does the installation lap looks like
Also, how are teams gathering track data (height differences, width, etc.) for their simulators? Are they running around with GPS devices and then try to convert them as best as they can? This could be easily done with LIDAR surverying of the tracks...

We (brazilians fans of the F1) really need Nasr to join the circus. F1 is aired here on the open TV since forever, with no commercial breaks. But since 2003 the audience is droping, and now it reached it's lowest point ever. Barrichello and Massa looked so good in the past, and ended being "huge" disappointments...
Ok, brazilians are always looking for the new Fittipaldi, the new Piquet or Senna, so it's always hard to reach these expectations. I love the F1 circus and I keep watching even without a brazilian there fighting for victories, but I fear that one day they might decide to stop transmiting the races. =c

Great stuff. It's hard to believe Frijns may fall through the cracks.
The wastegate gases won't blow off, they'll be converted into electric power and feed back into the system.

Interesting tidbit - looks like they had a lot of hope into Silverstone upgrades, but they failed on full scale.
If they remain at this level, he will probably self destruct at the end of this season.

This rants by Montezemolo, is people in Italy criticizing him?, because they sound to me like excuses, like he wants to avoid any criticism aimed to himself.
The rant today about Alonso (again) and Massa is ironic because to anyone on the outside it seems that he's doing the exact thing that he says Alonso did (putting himself ahead of the team).
At least one thing is guaranteed, Alonso has a clean path to get rid of his Ferrari contract if he wants.
He is very political guy, so with all the stuff going on in Italy, he is trying to point attention to other things. He should find his successor in Maranello and pursue his political dream to become Silvio mk II
The most interesting is defense of Domenicalli... and here is part of the answer, why are they going down the drain
And bitter bitter stuff about Mercedes testing - and no word that they could do the same in Bahrian but lacked some serious balls

And go where? He closed the door at McLaren. Red Bull don't need him, and doesn't want someone in Sebs path. Merc? With Lewis there? Lotus? I don't think that they're in better shape than Ferrari.
Thanks BT. That's smart tech, but totally nerfs the auditory appeal of turbos. Meh. PEACE.

Yeah, auditory appeal is going the way of the dodo I'm afraid. Those 90's CART turbos were really something special though. Huge power, huge speed.

If that dumb motherfucker of a Luca Di Motzemelemozerella or however you spell his name is stupid enough to scare away Alonso with his stupid tough guys quotes, his team deserves to rot in mediocrity for the next decade or so (Kinda the level they're on now, but whatever).
Won't happen. Ferrari needs Fernando, and Fernando needs Ferrari. There's no where to go, unless if he decides to get out of the F1 like Webbah.
This is probably the most appropriate thread to ask in, but does anyone know whether the F1 PS3 exclusive game is any good? I played the demo and it seems pretty solid (and has a fantastic driver lineup as well being based on the 2007 season) not to mention looking surprisingly good for a 6 year-old game (and IMO makes better design/stylistic choices over the recent Codies' clusterfucks).
I like that there's commentary in it, too... very reminiscent of F1 '97.

It wasn't bad. You can probably pick it up for pennies now too so no harm in giving it a go.

9 points for the year with the point system back then and with Sauber and after only 23 races in his life is pretty amazing. Yeah, Heidfeld had more points but Raikonnen was talked about seriously as a great driver after those first few races. Everyone was talking about him any because of his lack of races, but then he did that.
If your criteria is to light things up as much as Seb in his debut year, Kimi passes that for me. Alonso too for that matter.
Comparisons with Hamilton will always be skewed since he debuted in a front running team.
Red Bullshit.
Horner acts like a dumbass sometimes and is just trying to say things to annoy Ferrari as a payback for last years "Vettel to Ferrari" rumors and comments about it from Domenicali.
Carlos Sainz Jr. is represented by Abad so of course he has to talk with Abad about him. If you want to keep him on the team, move him up to a different formula, 3rd driver for STR, you have to talk to the person that represents the driver ffs. Don't be stupid Horner.
As was reported since last weekend, after RBR was pleasantly surprised by Sainz Jr. performance at YDT, Abad wanted to meet to discuss the possibility of Sainz Jr. joining Felix da Costa at STR next year.
