now that the best riders have taken their place, I am looking forward to the season ahead.. Ferrari with Kimi, McLaren with Lewis, Renault with Fernando and BMW with Nick.. I believe that the (top) teams can now be more and more dependent on driving skills to drive ahead.. Constance and touch when hiring the bolids the chaff will separate the wheat.. I am very much on the performance and harmony of team and driver on the vo we are looking forward to the upcoming season.. will Kimi be able to increase, Lewis will teach us a better one again, will bring Fernando the Renault back to the top, can Heidi win with the BMW..?? there will be some tests and the new vehicles will be developed during the season to the end (klaro)….but….I promise me a lot of action already at the beginning of the coming season…. on a new.. mfg ado79

No more rain races?
Hi, everybody! I read in the video last time that the drivers refuse to drive without traction control in the rain. Some drivers expressed at least serious concerns about safety. It sounded a bit more dramatic than in the short reports on the relevant F1 pages. There was also talk of wanting to sit down with the FIA in order to demand the reintroduction of traction control, otherwise no rain races will take place. Niki Lauda has already spoken about it briefly, so at least there seems to be something true about the complaints. What do you think about it? Are the drivers right or are they all “soft-cheers”?

John Howett responsible for Ralf Schumacher’s end at Toyota
John Howett. His position: Team boss of Toyota in Cologne. Ralf says: “I already know one thing. I won’t be fooled any more in the future.” This sentence is coined on Howett. The Toyota boss sacrificed Ralf, which leaked through Toyota’s Formula 1 branch in Cologne-Marsdorf. When Ralf Schumacher turned against him, rightly blamed him for the failure, the Englishman served him ice cold. Howett is a politician through and through, has been working at Toyota for 30 years. After 25 years in marketing, he was appointed head of the Toyota Formula 1 project in 2003, and since then he has always been able to move his mistakes away from others. He first ravaged engine manager Norbert Kreyer, then technology manager Mike Gascoyne. Both had seen him through. Behind the backhand, Toyota in Cologne says: Of technology and Formula 1 Howet would have no idea that this is the reason for the constant failure despite the biggest Bud gets of all Formula 1 teams.http://www.sportbild.de/…/7820600000.html Very interesting, so it was not due to his driving performance. As already suspected it is simply not true in the team, see Gasconey and Kreyer who went. A former marketing man as F1 boss can only go wrong.

Murderer theories on the loss of the MCL World Championship
Dear Forum, this thread should be to discuss all emerging theories and allegations and record why Ferrari could escape the McLaren team at the very last minute of the World Championship. So, I find this an outrage, how a Raican world champion can become, while Alonso and Hammilton have led the whole year. That can’t be done with right things. What exactly was decided there in Paris at the sports tribunal? Why can Raikönn before a race to drink vodka and Alonso not? Is he even under alcohol influence driving the race? Was the car of Ferrari compliant? So, dear silver fans. This is the thread to shoot others unproven and unfounded, to accuse them of unsportiness and if necessary to exchange pictures, so that the faster can copy from the slower….

Formula 1 kicks off – Hamilton’s victory out of control
I’m just reading: Lewis Hamilton has lost his victory at the Grand Prix of Belgium in Spa to Ferrari driver Felipe Massa. The racing commissioners imposed a time penalty of 25 seconds against Hamilton for shortening a chicane, whereby the McLaren-Mercedes-Pilot fell from the first to third place behind Massa and BMW-Clean-Pilot Nick Heidfeld. In the World Cup overall ranking, the British driver has just finished third behind Massa and BMW-Clean-Pilot Nick Heidfeld. now with 76 points only two points advantage over Massa (74). Hemilton left after his slip Kimi Räikkönen on the straight and then overtook him again. I am struck by every small mistake or not error against Mercedes, Ferrari against it has fool’s freedom. Thus you can manipulate the points and also a world championship. I personally find something so bad. Many greetings, Andreas

Static electricity in Formula 1
http://www.motorsport-magazin.com/…/…-static-elektrizitaet.html What influence could such a static charge have on the KERS-adorned F1-weighs next year? A chance for Kentucky Fried Chicken as coming main sponsor? OK, also for a chicken joke relatively tasteless, sorry. But seriously … where is the development going? As a former suffering-tested Renault Laguna driver (first series with Keyless-Go) ahne bad … the F1 may soon sink i m Electronic swamp …. How do the AC/DC specialists see this? Salut Alfan

A1 ring
I was just bored, because I looked at the old video of the A1 race 2002. Human is really a pity that there will never be driven. The picturesque surroundings and the class overview of the track, for me still the most viewer-friendly track ever. The Formula 1 sounded fantastic between the mountains, even though you were still 3 kilometers from the track at the parking lot…. The picture had been taken from our place. Let’s hope that RedBull the project Spielber g not give up yet, would be just too bad !!
