For those that likes McLaren [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuQvKuqYUk4]McLaren Documentary 2011 - YouTube[/ame] I do. Go times Senna. :cryin:
Nothing against Hamilton but he wouldn't haven't become world champion if Timo Glock hadn't caused that wreck in the last race of the 2008 season... :ihih:
That was pretty interesting, although around 45 min in, they had Lewis and Jenson in the cars at the Top Gear track, and it reminded me of TOONED.
I wasnt sure if steward was good or bad thing, so I have to call the help of a dictionary, but not a regular dictionary I have find it in a F1 dictionary. A Glossary of F1 terms Steward = One of three high-ranking officials at each race appointed to make decisions and make sure drivers and teams adhere to regulations. Stewards have the discretion to hand out penalties to drivers and teams during and after the race. Seems an important job.
Starting this season (or maybe it was last season) one steward at each race is an ex-driver or current driver from another series. The idea behind this is to add a driver's perspective to the stewards' decision-making.
Those of us following along in the US have probably already heard that Speed (Fox) lost F1 broadcast rights to NBC as of the end of the 2012 season. Along with much concern, this raised many questions, one of which is now answered in part: According to MWM, NBC's F1 commentary team will be Diffey, Hobbs and Matchett, live pit reporter TBD.
Just read a quick report from an official press conference. Asked who would win the championship, Kimi replied: "The one who has the most points." :lol: Never change Kimi, never change.
There's a LOT of chatter about COTA Turn 1. Most saying basically that it has the potential to be one of the drivers' all-time favorite corners. It looks good, I hope it lives up to the hype. Steve Matchett provides a couple pics to show a bit more of its character. Looking back into pit out: Still looking back but closer to the crest of the hill: Beginning to crest the hill, apex still blind:
Ruh, roh! First corner chaos possible, I've been wondering about this. I think he's exaggerating a bit saying "we won't have a clue where the apex is because the only car that will know will be the car on the inside [at the front] because he's the only one who will be able to see it." They'll all have run a bunch of laps by then so they'll know where it is, they just won't all be able to see it. Still... Jenson Button thinks second will be better than pole on Austin grid (AutoSport.com)
