I disagree with the criticism of the Turkey race. DRS and KERS are excellent additions to F1 and give the cars enough variability to not get jammed up with one another, like year’s gone past. I believe it’s the tyres and the 81 resultant pit-stops that are distracting and confusing and causing the huge discrepancies in speed under passing.
History will show, that when the lunatics take over the asylum, the asylum cannot be the same. All you F1 fans that were moaning and crying for more passing, just stop it already and let F1 be F1. There are more reflective forms of motorsport you can follow and will remind you of the scripted ‘reality’ tv and phony virtual world that most of you people spend your lives within. F1 is a sport built on ethical and moral principles by risk-takers, vanguards, in search of technical excellence, artistry and the challenge of attaining ultimate speed.
What we’ve seen this year has been a video game representation of what was once a proud sport. Monza 2010, for example, was classic F1 racing, not these contrived events like Turkey where in spite of ‘all the action’ the final results were essentially the same as the qualifying order. That’s F1 racing, mates. Yet now, like medicine for lunatics, it only fools you into thinking that something is happening while underneath it’s still exactly the same. Oh, ain’t life grand!
The events of Egypt gathered momentum and have now hit Bahrain, of all places. Aren't the streets paved in gold? Reports of civil unrest are escalating, and some, such as GP2 series wag Will Buxton via his twitter account claim that the "internet (sic) been tuned down".
As reports emerge, more will become clear. For now, here is analysis of the situation:
Best team-mates ever? Or, clever marketing from Vodafone? Enjoyable entertainment, nonetheless. And, a nice van too! Watch this latest release from Team Mclaren lead sponsor and drivers and decide. Leave your comments here, or on the twitter app or facebook page. Very interested in your feedback and observations. Enjoy...
While training in Hawaii, 2009 F1 World Champion and Ironman enthusiast, Jenson Button thought he saw Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong. Sure enough, after a few tweets back and forth, the two Champions linked up for a training ride. Quoted via his twitter account the American Lance Armstrong said, "Out on Old Mamalahoa Road with @the_real_jb. The dude is strong!!" and posted this pic lancearmstrong.posterous.com/out-on-old-...
In an inspired effort via Youtube, "Sebastian" sends his best to all, after his great 2010 World Championship triumph. Happy Holidays to one and all. Looking forward to an equally exciting 2011 Season.
Never one to miss out on a promotion opportunity, Mr. E has used photos of his face after the mugging to promote the Hublot watch brand who have partnered with F1 and was part of the booty the thugs targeted with the assault. Never a dull moment in the Ecclestone world. To see the damage click below:
Bernie says, "See what people will do for a Hublot" -bit.ly/dVU5fl
Bernie Ecclestone and his girlfriend, Fabiana Flosi, were mugged outside the tycoons HQ, in Central London, by a gang who looted the couple of their jewellry and watches. Bernie was thrown to the ground and sustained minor injuries that were treated in hospital. Police say the gang have been targeting leafy Hyde Park residents for some time now.
Not a new 'boy-band' but a re-creation, of sorts, in Korea of a photo from the 80's with the title contenders back in the day -- Senna, Prost, Piquet, Mansell. Here is the new version, plus a great overview of the Korean GP and the history to its making.
So say Tonio Luizzi upcoming this weeks race. Built in the 60's as a test track by Honda, the circuit offers a high speed thrills a minute with a crossover challenge for the F1 racers, including the daunting 130R corner - taken flat-out in top gear by the very fastest. Very exciting...more at:
As F1 commisioner....Quite a day to report on this. We can only hope the rumour is true. Only Max could keep the rabble in place, JT wants to travel around and be treated well with his movie star companion. He doesn't want to wade into the day to day. MM is his best choice. The paddock is coiling.....
