I have that same pinsentry on my desk under my monitor.
Made me chuckle. The 2012 Merc vs a souped up version of the safety car in a drag race http://youtu.be/s2RLTU_vX7A?list=UUYCgq9pdIv95dnjMPFdk_DQ
In his first interview after the crash (live on Fox Sports for latinamerica) he accepted full responsibility, and apologized to the team. Check your sources.
Full interview.... If you speak spanish http://tinyurl.com/ksw4vrc

I had forgotten the noise of those V8s.

Getting rid of abomination which is refuelling was the best decision, alongside reintroducing slicks, taken by F1 in the last 20 years. Fun fact: refuelling was in F1 to "spice up the show" and it worked so well, that overtaking numbers plunged massively for the whole period of it.

My bones have not forgotten the noise of those V8's though. Standing track side without earplugs for a few seconds surely took a few decades out of my hearing expectancy
New entry to the pit lane at Interlagos:
It finally looks like a circuit for the 21st Century, hurray. Can't wait.
Alonso is so fun.This guy...

I remember our F1 20XX group racing there and I think Kharma? Getting obliterated on the median while fighting down the straight. Fucking incredible.
Went to the race this weekend and had a blast! Really love how the cars sounded and the circuit is just a fantastic place with a great crowd. Every team had fans, which was really awesome to see. We sat in turn 19, and got a pretty good view of turn 1, as well as the section of the track we were on. I bought some cool hats and a shirt and chowed down on a half pound hot dog, which was glorious! All in all, it was a blast, and I'd love to go to a race again sometime.
Whoa, you mean someone caught Wax Free talking nonsense about Perez? Never thought I'd see the day. Of course, if he ever gets up on the podium again, I'm sure he'll run away from this thread like a little dog with a tail between his legs.

Anyone who thinks that drivers didn't also lift and coast when refuelling was a thing are looking at the sport with rose tinted glasses. We hear more about it now, but it still happened.
Doesn't make sense as a driver to use more fuel if you can save a lap or two and only lose a tiny amount of time at certain parts of the lap.

That's hilarious
What I love most about that gif is that there's someone on the radar flying off at Ferradura too.Found it!
Hopefully F1 2015 is good, I'd love to get a GAF league going again.

Ah...good times...would love if we could start a new league!
Going from F1 to WEC is an awesome move. JB would have the chance to be an F1 world champion and Le Mans winner. He should participate in the Indy 500 for fun.
I find it hilarious that BE solution to the financial problems is revisiting current contracts he made with the teams, instead of adjusting the percentage of income the FOM gets from the commercial rights.

Hahaha man that league was a lot of fun. My DFGT has been gathering dust for a long long time.
Ahahahaha it was Speech, confused it since Kharma had the Lotus avatar.Found it!

But having hope for 2015...hahahahaha, I mean maybe I guess, but...hahahahha
Mine too, sitting in the closet currently. I actually have a sturdy desk now that won't shake when it rumbles, should try it out again one day.
I really wish I hated F1 and wrestling games. So much hurt annually.
I was in the Lotus for the first season we had in F1 2011, probably why you thought it was me. Was in the Sauber after.
I'd love a good F1 game again and us to get a league going once more. 2011 was so much fun whilst 2012 was just a travesty.

No, on the live BBC feed he blamed Sutil for cutting across him and was surprised that the big shiny red car of Kimi was going around the corner in front of him, at no point of the interview did he admit fault, he passed the buck like he did when he crashed into Massa at Canada.
Cost him the titleI like refueling too. Especially when it results in things like Massa's legendary pit stop at Singapore. Lol.
Was really sad then but in retrospect would be ridiculous if Massa was champion and not Lewis. Back then Ferrari was the fastest but had mediocre drivers (Kimi, Felipe), then got the best driver and had slow car. Finally next year they will have both mediocre car and drivers.I'm still enjoying McLaren and Ferrari languishing in the doldrums. It's refreshing that Mercedes have had the best car this season, but as long as they aren't about to establish a Red Bull or Ferrari style dynasty over the next few years I think it's good for the sport to have someone else at the top.

The BBC are reporting that the co-chairman of CVC is responsible for seeing off the boycott threat on the morning of the race, by essentially cutting Bernie out of the loop.
Here's an idea for them, take that 90m Ferrari get and split to the smaller teams. Such a bullshit bonus for Ferrari.

Hmm... on the subject of Ferrari, this is the first year in a while that I haven't heard them threatening to leave F1. Possibly because they've been crap.
If the BBC news site is using the same quotes as the live feed. I don't see how you can interpret that as Perez blaming Sutil. But you'll just have to trust a Spanish speaker when they tell you he takes full responsibility in the Fox Sports LA interview. I don't know which came first as I wasn't watching either feed.

I don't think it is. I don't know where I saw it, but I definitely recall thinking he was blaming others for his actions when he said it.

Last ten laps were definitely the highlight of the race. Not a lot you're missing.

As a whole the race was pretty boring. Not Sochi boring, but mostly uneventful. There was some good battles and mid-pack racing going on, but usually nothing more than 2-3 laps before it ended.

He 100% blamed Sutil in the interview he did with the BBC immediately after retiring, something like:
"Errr I was on my line coming into the corner, Sutil closed the door on me, I don't know what he was doing..."
Distinctly remember it as I was like WWHHHAAAAA???? YOU SMASHED RIGHT INTO HIM YOU TWAT!

It was an above average race. If Austin this year was boring, then what did you make of races in 2004-2008? Some of the races in this era barely had more than a handful overtakes.
There are still people believing Twitter accounts are used by the actual persons and not by their management intern?

The "historical significance" tag is somewhat of an outlier. The bonus money actually comes from not joining forces with the GPWC (breakaway series) back in the the late aughts. Unlike McLaren and Williams, Ferrari has shown twice now ('82) that they refuse to flip the apple cart on the governing body. OK, they got paid to take that stance, but the whole thing was legit business. It's not like that money is just some friendly gift for being cool, or anything.
Ferrari really are that important to F1 that all the other teams have agreed to this arrangement I believe twice now. I'm sure anytime someone complains, the response is "no food for those who bite the hand that feeds them".
Maybe this goes on forever, maybe not. It'll take a war to get that cash out of Ferrari's hands that for sure.
Anyone interested in a RB3 driven by Webber in 2007?

If we all chip in, we can easily get it and then just pass it around amongst ourselves.
Obviously, as this is my idea, I shall have it first...
