Kimi and Seb are friends, so I doubt there'd be friction, but Kimi doesn't care one whit about labels, all he's going to do is go race as hard as he can, win as much as he can, and all the rest of the media inspired BS just doesn't matter.

I think it could be interesting for young Seb to have a real competitor on his team, one that can and will beat him from time to time, instead of one who starts most of his races in reverse.

Still, kudos to Mock Weeba for a good strong performance in Germany, even without the "help" from the safety car, he drove like a man about to retire who wants to leave with a strong finish, before an even stronger Finnish takes his place! :biggrin5:

 

I agree this is an awesome idea given that the series has a "spec tire". Just make sure the tire compounds offered afford NO advantage by managing tire wear.

This is the exact opposite of what they are doing today - give the teams tires that last only a small portion of the race to force pit stops. How bout going back to the '60s compounds/construction - give the teams tires they can run the whole weekend on FlatOut!

 

Must be the new FIA mandated guards to keep tire carcasses from clobbering the driver's.

 

Technical analysis of the Young Drivers's tests. You get to see some of those areo sensors in action.

You don't know Russians. To some of them that's pocket change. Most likely he is just getting rid of the small bills. :devil:

As far as the penalties given to Grosjean, I smell a fish.

 

Heck had Grosjean not gone wide he & Massa would have ended their race right there. Was I the only one that saw Massa going wide to try & close the door? His wing was an inch from the Lotus. Sorry folks a BS call by the race steward. Me thinks Grosjean is still being punished for past deeds.

 

I have nothing against Allen McNish, but he & the others in race control screwed up IMHO.

 

I loved watching Vettel fly away from Hammy. But I think Alonso was the star for driving a great race.

 

I've run events with NASA and the Secret Sports Car Club for years, and I also like grass roots racing, but that takes nothing away from my appreciation of what the F1 circus brings to my TV.

Sure, some of the backroom wrangling is tiresome, but when the red lights go out, all that doesn't matter any more, and it's on, baby!

I also like NASCAR ( although I definitely enjoy the road course races the most), and I watch the Indycars too.

I've been to National drag race events (in fact I was at Heartland Park the day they broke the 300 mph record - years ago) and run my share of regional events.

I'm a fan of many types of racing, and they all have their positives, so I'll just leave it at that.

But one last comment, there's no way that Mock Webba would run a car with the top team for 4 years if it wasn't suited to him....it only took Kimi three races to get Renault to completely change the steering to suit him.

 

Better keep him away from Diffey then, that guy does not know when to shut up! :biggrin5:

 

I finally got to meet Mario at Mid-Ohio this year.
