I've seen this a few times - what was actually happening. Did he cock it up and exit stage left at great pace?

Only bianchi has made that kind of apex speed since then and we all know he wasn't half the driver Heikki was.

If someone could do an infinite loop of the glasses expanding and contracting to the point where it causes nausea just looking at it I'd probably pony up for it.

Dude what is it with you and the infinite loops? First hornyhorner then Phil J. Fry. You've got problems man.

I like fractals? Serious answer; horny Horner was a gimmick and the one I have now was randomly given to me. I think the infinite loop on this one is either a coincidence or homage to the Horner loop, but I never asked.

Force India are saying it's Marussia and Caterham's fault they didn't make the Jerez test.

It's almost like if you gently caress over the same suppliers the same way several times in a row they start being less understanding about it.

Schumy went to the school of hard knocks. Unlike nico, mores the pity. Seeing redbull pooter around the back with a poo poo Renault motor would make my year. Then everyone wants loving marussia to turn up and make them look better.

"Only cash flow", that little thing that can make every single business ever go bankrupt, including suppliers. Cunts.

The power units cost like 23-30 million a year alone compared to the <7 million for a V8.

"It's only cash flow" also sounds like something Bernie grunts as he ejaculates dust and cobwebs during sex.

The bad news is that during the last Turbo era there weren't really any real "customer" engines, except maybe the Motori-Moderni and that thing was a piece of crap.

autosport's gary anderson was asked how to improve F1 and came up, yet again, with the worst idea everquote:On track, I would have a qualifying session as we have now on Saturday. After that is all done I would have a Saturday sprint race, shorter than we currently have - say, 150 kilometres - with the grid set from the qualifying order. thanks gary let's introduce the chase for the cup while we're at it

no matter how boring F1 gets, it is ultimately still supposed to be a championship that determines the best driver/team over the course of a year. reverse grids are the antithesis of that.

I have an idea for making F1 better. Early sunday morning there will be a quick 20 lap race based on the qualifier on Saturday. Each team uses their highest qualified car. The cars must be driven by team principals. The results of this race will be used as the grid for the actual race later in the day.

I imagine it would look a lot like a grid full of Crashtor Maldonado.

I guess overall salaries are still huge in comparison to flying people about. Even seeing the footage of a backroom of dudes on computers just for the engine makes me wince. Remember when it was just one or two monitor stands and a couple of engineers?

I stand by my recommendation of incorporating super stadium trucks to the race weekend. Possibly getting rid of the F1 cars all together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yIQAvW7XnE
