So what you're saying is that the car is going slowly, yet it's tail isn't all over the place. Well surely this makes perfect sense doesn't it?
The last thing they want to do is be towing the car out of another wall, so the sensible thing to do, would dial the engine back, keep the car on the road, and work with what they have got. This could be why we're seeing slow launches, poor lap times, and the car not stepping out.
Certainly in Hamilton's case, he wasn't taking off quickly. Perhaps he was testing a "KERS launch"? *shrug*
I thought about mentioning this, but 5 seconds per lap? If nothing else this season, then at least the races are going to be a little bit quicker! Hurrah!
Thanks Mr. Cliffe.
So he's ~5 seconds faster than himself, this time last year, and ~2 seconds faster than the fastest, being Massa. That's quite a significant jump.

Actually, would be interesting to compare these test times with last years. I wonder if Rubens fastest times today equate to Rubens slowest times last year? 
Anybody got that info handy?
Anybody got that info handy?This is good news. I really hope that some of the people on here that were saying Barrichello has had his day, are choking to death on humble pie right now.
Also, McLaren back on pace? Interesting
I guess by some of these comments, that none of you have played poker before ... 
Let's not turn this into another speculation thread and stick to the facts, shall we?
Teams don't keep people around in F1 if they are shit. That's why there is such a good turnover in drivers, and that's why some drivers stay in the sport for many many years. Just look at how many drivers have come and gone in the last ten years...
Of course, it's only common sense that a driver is only as good as his car. He can't race outside of the cars ability - it's called physics.
Also, to say that a driver - that has been in the sport for 15 years - isn't any good, is nonsensical and idiotic.
Rubens Barrichello might not have championship winning drivers, but he has SOMETHING that keeps him around, and none of us can say with a degree of accuracy what that is.

so the old world record was only two instances of the words "work harder"? tsk. you're silly.
Regardless of what the truth is or is not, it's quite obvious that Ecclestone has lost his head. It's just the poorest business sense, to make information like this publicly known.
Ferrari getting more money than all the other teams is bias towards Ferrari, whether you like it or not. I imagine that if money is so easily pushed around for Ferrari, then there is no reason to assume that other favours aren't also pushed around for Ferrari. If the cap fits ...

ProDrive in F1 scoop? Who knows? Man, this could be interesting...

Pointless and uninformative? I think that to say it wouldn't have ANY effect on the amount of viewers F1 races have is equally nonsensical. Of course it will have an effect, but perhaps not on the scale that some people are making out.
Lots of people are giving knee-jerk reactions to these various changes, because people just do not like change. However, once the change has been lived with for a period of time, people warm to it. It's the sort of thing that's happened in F1 before*, it's the same again this time, and it will happen again in the future.

Really? I think the saloon is nicer than the hatch - it looks a lot more "racey". I could just see it slammed on some big wheels, and a phat spoiler hanging off the back. Would remind me of the Cavs that Vauxhall used to race in the 90s.
You haven't looked hard enough then. And believe, imagine the most obscene thing you can ever think of, and trust me when I say that there is, 100% guaranteed, worse stuff out there.
Third round.
He's a freelance journalist - writes about steam engine preservation, so came under obvious mockery from the very clever, very witty presenter. Golly, she's so quick with her amusing quips

My claim to fame, is that my Dad was on the Weakest Link tonight. Enormous amounts of funey.
Intrepid: I have no reason not to believe you, and I don't see why anyone else should. Lots of people here have serious superiority complexes, and just like disagreeing with anyone and anything. If I were you, I would sit content knowing the truth, and brush away the egomaniacs.
Man, I don't care how they look - so long as they entertain, that's all that counts. In fact, I would prefer uglier cars, if it meant better racing. If I want to look at pretty stuff, I'll watch GT racing.
It's just typical of this forum for people to start flaming when someone posts a video /golfclap
IMO, that was awesome. Also, you don't hear many Scoobys sounding like that, so I suggest it has some serious drift based mods. I still prefer to see Scoobys rallying though, that's where they should stay. And not the new Imprezza shite, either.

Ecclestone back-pedalled like a mad man after making his initial comments. He now claims that "I meant they were a joke, clowns". Bullshit. In no way, can his previous comments be twisted in ANY fashion, to suggest that this is what he meant. The man is a complete idiot.
Also, as for the Spanish being racist - I have a very good friend who lives in Spain (ex-patriot), and is a journalist that reports on Football matches. He is continually shocked at the level of racism that exists in Spanish football. He does claim that it is much worse than in England.

Becky Rose is absolutely on the money. Stop trying so hard, and let life come to you.
That doesn't mean, however, that you should just sit at your desk and wait for life to appear on your keyboard. Just focus on what makes life better (like having a job, meeting with friends, the EASY things) and life has a way of working out the seemingly difficult things all on it's own.
I used to worry about all these things you are worrying about - I used to be a relative recluse, who used to sit at his desk every night talking to e-friends. The best times of my life, I've had outside of the house with friends, and those are the things that shape your life.
Remember, just do the EASY things, and the hard things will come naturally

I'm sorry "dude", but his English was perfectly good.
Also, the term "classy" is not gender specific, and is quite common to call a man "classy". If anything, it's you that is struggling with their English
As for the F1, it was exciting, and the best man won
