Total bs

Have you guy read where F1 has changed the rules for 2013 that all engines will be naturally aspirated 1.6L four cylinders? And the rev limits will be reduced from 18,000 rpm to 12,000 rpm.

This "green" crap has to stop!!!!

I might as well watch cr@p like NASCAR.

 

[majorloser]

Oh, and best of all they are reducing the number of engine available from eight engines to five in 2013. The down to four engines in the years following.

"The more environmentally-friendly units are expected to deliver a 35 percent reduction in fuel consumption, whilst providing the same level of performance enjoyed by today's F1 drivers. Energy recovery systems and additional energy management will be utilised to ensure this is possible."

Interesting.

I wonder what the weight and tire width limits will be??? #of gears in trans-axle???

F1 is in danger of killing itself.

 

[majorloser]

I really regret not making to a race with the V-10's. Now I have no choice but making the 2012 USGP just to see the last of the V-8's.

This is just stupid.

 

[STRONGBADF1]

Here ya go Dave...Enjoy!

More of a V12 guy myself!

I'll make the 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia as a ramp for F150 oil change.

Mclaren MP4-26!! Wow, look at those side pods, and they are the 2nd or 3rd team this season I think that's gone to the walrus tusk front wing attachment that Williams were running a couple seasons back. Funny, maybe Williams was on to something and didn't see it through.

F1 streaming

I'm not sure if this has been asked before (I tried doing a search), but how can I stream live F1 races. I have dropped cable TV so the only races I can watch are the few broadcast on FOX. I have not missed a race in 10 years and can't afford to fly to all 19 races around the world (of coarse I will be at the Canadian GP).

Does Speed do a live internet feed? If not who does for free?

I did a quick google search and it looks like several sites claim to do it. I don't know how that works from country to country. i would imagine you would have to buy the rights in each market.

I just took a survey that was e-mailed to me from USGP. Completing the survey is supposed to me on the preferred mailing list for the better seats.

From the survey it doesn't look like there's going to be many cheap seats unless you want to sit in grass. We're talking four figures for the paddock and platinum seats.

Grass it is!

Kubica seriously injured in rally accident. Out for the season at best, maybe more. Hope it's not too serious.

I saw this last night. I really like him as a driver and hope he comes back better than ever.

 

[majorloser]

It looks seroius. He may end up losing his hand

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/new-cars/motorsports/f1-driver-may-lose-his-hand-after-major-crash/article1897232/

Damn, I really liked him as a F1 driver. He seems like a nice guy in the interviews, too.

Ford Sues Ferrari

Yes, believe it or not, Ford is suing Ferrari over the name "F-150". Sure, Ford has the rights to the name, but I'm really not sure how ferrari could "capitalize on and profit from the substantial goodwill that Ford has developed in the F-150 trademark". Now if Ferrari decided to start building pick-ups, I could see their point...

Ferrari F-150 name

Ferrari decided to change the car's name to "F-150th Italia", maybe due to the Ford threat.

 

[The_Source41]

Kubica was one of my favorite drivers. I started liking him when he drove for BMW Sauber and then really started to enjoy watching him race for Renault. This is a tragic accident and will hurt the F1 Community.

 

[ragged]

Well Kubica is doing better. They say he even called Barrichello to chat.

With all the political unrest, Bahrain looks like it's going to be canceled. Bummer, even though it was a pretty boring race, I was still looking forward to the season starting.
