Ah the good old times, we had a Europe foldable map that first time.
Mirabeau is also two-way.

Brand new Super Soft tyre for Monaco that apparently resists graining and blistering.

According to Le Google Maps, you can pretty much drive it. Only part that isn't is the Casino Square turn, since the square is counter-clockwise travel. I think the last turn is also slightly different.

Ronbo lost his rag after the Spanish GP according to the Mail, slated the entire workforce and gave Boullier a good kickin.

Formula 1's youtube page just put up high quality raw feed footage of the 2000 Japanese GP.
I can only imagine the kind of goodies FOM is witholding from the public in its archives: if they would offer a streaming archive of high quality video (which I know they have) from historic races a ton of people would probably pay a considerable subscription fee to access it.
I cant wait for Ecclestone and his contempt for digital media to go away so the rich and legendary history of the sport gets the treatment it deserves.

It's either Audi or nothing. Porsche has a huge motorsport programme that goes beyond Le Mans - and they returned last year to the 24h.
Don't think they would want to use F1 to kickstart any Volkswagen motorsport programme and all the other brands are too small.
Actually, that footage is pretty much copy-pasted from the season review DVD that they released in 2001, so it's not like it's anything that they haven't made available before.
Autosport F1 fan survey 2015 has just gone live
Takes less than five minutes to complete and asks a lot of key questions about the sporting side, technical side and political side of the sport, but mainly with 'yes, no, sometimes, no opinion' answers.

I'm dreading seeing the results to some of those questions.
Maaaan, I know I sound like a broken record - but you should always be careful what you wish for...

Poor Romain, at the worst possible track.
Totally not related to F1 or some red team:
I'd been talking about F1 and tobacco somewhere else, forgot about this article http://www.autoblog.com/2015/05/18/ferrari-marlboro-partnership-2018-report/

What is the ad on the right? It has a Ferrari and a similar/identical tobacco warning underneath.
I'm not disagreeing with you but who is on the possible list now and how would they be worse?
Horner is the only one I have heard mentioned. I don't know him well enough to have an opinion on how he would do. My perception is he may not have thick enough skin for the job.

It's only an Autosport survey. The official GPDA one comes tomorrow.
I had no idea Ferrari was still sponsored by Malboro.
Like what's the point of it, if they can't show anything related to Malboro in their livery (mainly because Tobacco advertisement is banned in North America and Europe).
I just finished the Autosport survey, it'll be interesting to see the results.
Does that really matter, though? At the end of the day, F1 cars are still the fastest cars around the circuits they race on. Isn't worrying about the total time it takes for them to complete a race distance a bit arbitrary?

Because they also slowed GP2 down, lol.
But on a slightly more serious note, personally, yes, it matters to me. Current mess, on and off the track, at least would be enjoyable, if F1 was really a pinnacle of motorsport/technology and lap times would be amazing considering regulations. It isn't though, it's artificially slowed and dumbed down. I can only imagine, but as a spectator, I would be pretty disappointed, tasting what F1 was only few years ago and what it is now. As Alonso said, "The grandstands tells us."
It's not about quantity, but quality. When both aren't there... <shrugs>

It matters if a 17 year old can handle a Formula 1 car just fine. It hast to be demanding on the driver. So that Talent and dedication wins a WCC and not Aero.
I heard somewhere an anecdote from the late 90's about Damon Hill (I think it was from F1fanatic) Who said, that he had to give his "all" to drive for the Championship and win it and he didnt want to do it again after he won it. (well he was in an Arrow the next season)
Aero has to much influence on the outcome of GP wins today. If you make the car more difficult to drive, it is the drivers job to make the most out of his car in conjunction with his ability to drive difficult cars.

Grip is not the only elusive thing for Button, even power is starting to elude him
He bounced right off.
Yeah, easily the worst part about the Monaco weekend.
Yep, Horner is the heir in waiting.
He gets the job, F1 will become a full on sponsor circus a la RB Air Race.

I wish it was McLaren 3 seconds in front of everyone
Poor WFV would get a heart attack...

Oh yeah, I still think of McLaren when I think of Mercedes.
I guess I'm never gonna get that right.
We're back to this again?
