After the purchase of the Minardi team by the Austrian energy drink giant Red Bull is a fact, the fans of the Minardi team are concerned that the name Minardi is in danger after 20 years of heroic struggle against the overpowering competition in Formula 1. Therefore, forzaminardi.com, an independent fan site, has launched an online petition for the whereabouts of the name Minardi in Formula 1. Shortly after the takeover, a Red Bull spokesman announced that only later this year Ü The team name will be decided, but internal rumors strongly indicate that Red Bull is planning to change the team name. Robert-Jan Bartunek, the founder of ForzaMinardi.com, fears that the traditional name will disappear from the top class of motorsport and will be led as Red Bull II. I can’t imagine that someone just wants to wipe out 20 years of F1 history. Imagine Roman Abramovich after buying Chelsea the team name in “Roman’s Blue Boys” There is already a Red Bull team on the starter field. What is the benefit of a second team that has the same name? Red Bull wants to make Minardi a rookie team for young, talented riders. That was Minardi always. Let’s not forget that Alonso, Trulli, Fisichella and Webber all made the start of the F1 thanks to Minardi. rn and the company has the necessary financial means to enable the team to achieve better results in the future. All this would be meaningless if we lost our team name. – The petition united Minardi fans from all over the world. Only 72 hours after the start shot over 10,000 signatures came together. It can be viewed here and signed online. -I am overwhelmed by all the reactions and support. We get signatures and letters from the g anzen Welt: From Iceland to Hungary and Brazil to Australia. Let’s hope that this Red Bull gives a clear indication that there are many Minardi fans and that the tradition of Minardi is preserved in racing.

Franzi van Almsick in the moderator team
I just read the news. Franzi is supposed to strengthen the moderator team on RTL. Again a spectacular innovation this year. Let’s see where the level of RTL goes with it. Apparently rather category “water” case. But I can also deceive myself. Hopefully.

ferrari is back
… think. the surprise is williams. since the bmw era for the first time again chances to drive some bigger ones around the ears. almost embarrassing for bmw after the more recent years, what a successful package they put on the track today. I sincerely hope, the olele frank no longer crawls in the back of the japanese to deliver engines to him. also his nose for the driver pairing seems to have been good. at least if you compare budget with the result. I hope this was ke ine one-day fly. the first fastest rounds with new engine concept go to cosworth, driven by a greenhorn. more beautiful can not be tradition.

Conclusion Bahrain Qualifying
Find the new quality mode absolutely cool! Really successful… Totally exciting and entertaining!! I also like the refueling rule of the last group, because the track is always full because the drivers want to drive the tank empty. If you were to be allowed to drive almost empty, no cars would be on the track in the first 10 minutes. Is also getting used to that not always the fastest lap is also the pole position (fastest lap had Alonso). And Michael has as many poles as the unforgettable Ayrton Senna!!!

Formula 1 for RTL
Moin, I don’t know how you’re doing but I think the F1 transmission at RTL is a presumptuous, outspokenly said. very viiiiel advertising. and this heiko water as a commentator is also not as bulging as it sometimes drives the Christisn over the mouth! the moderation or comment of christian danner and niki lauda is still the best at transmission. the press conference is missing or is only shown in excerpts. the F1 transmission at premiere is longer better! jaques schulz and marc surer are very competent moderaters and the report refund, before and after the race is far better. I have watched the F1 6 years at premiere, but had to cancel premiere because of an imminent unemployment. what I regret very much.

Does Renault have the biggest budget?
How much the teams spend on the F1 is one of the best kept secrets. But there are rumors over and over again. since XetrO has just posted numbers and led a lively discussion with another user (sorry should look) about it, I would like to open a thread where there is discussion about it. the budget of renault is apparently far away from the numbers that are published and comes rather to the regions of toyota and ferrari. from not comes also nothing, how 499.05 million US dollars should toyota spend this season on the F1, but quote: “This sum is far from reality”, denied John Howett. Ralf Schumacher is even the opinion quote: “McLaren has the largest team and also the largest budget”. ” Ferrari is also similar in size, and BMW is on the way there.” “The budgets of the top teams differ, if at all, only to a very small extent,” said Ralf. “This also applies to Flavio Briatore, who always shows how cheap he works. I don’t just think I know that we certainly don’t have the biggest budget at Toyota.” barbara

Unsports in the F1 (provocative)
I wanted to open up such a thread on occasion. Then I’ll start right away! Can you remember earlier than MS Damon Hill, or just Villeneuve wanted to kick out of the race with full intention, he tried that again yesterday, but this time against all coming after him, especially Fernando Alonso by simply deliberately standing in the way of his car. The proof should be that he steered first to the right and then, like Niki Lauda, he was the same. Headed straight for no reason to pretend that the car was again to blame, even though it was only his fault as almost always. For such an unsportiness he belongs to the F1 – because that has nothing to do with sport anymore… We can only hope that he goes after the season Y.k.

Does the F1 get boring???
So I’ll start at the front! This new qualifying mode is not the yellow of the egg either, because in the third section the fuel has to be handled first (petrol is getting more expensive – and they have to do it – but money doesn’t seem to play that big role). Anyway, the Quali mode is boring. Meanwhile, the races are only decided on the strategy, mostly in the box!!! What is that supposed to be? I would like to see overtaking maneuvers, and also a little bit of a joke. aden am Auto – but no, there seems to be no more… The only thing that makes the races interesting is Ralf Schumacher, who tries to kick his own teammate out of the race and has left the race because of it himself… Well, what is EURE MEINUNG zur DERzeitIGEN F1-SITUATION??? Should it go on like this or must something change???
