If Mika has an ounce of common sense he'll stay the hell away from F1. Have you seen some of the proposed regs for next year? 2.4 liter V8's, two sets of tyres per weekend? You've got to f**k*ng kidding!
Boy these are going to be cars of the Gods. Why don't they just race lawn tractors? This is supposed to be the pinnacle of the sport?

If the opportunity ever arises, as he now drive for the "Ferrari B - team", will he be allowed to fight Schumacher or Barrichello for position?  |

Fax, i'm with you, its the top of the pile, i can understand rules and regulation for safety, but when it comes to the fastest round the track, the gloves come off.
Maybe when the revenue to Bernie ceases then they may be some change. Could go on for ages, bring back some real cars with real drivers!
Talking of which, do you go to the classic?

F1 hasnt been the entertainment pinnacle of the sport for quite some time. They may be the fastest car's by some margin, but its now too detached from reality. The last mass produced cars parts taken from F1 technology was i believe... Paddle shift gear boxes, or Launch control ? cant see anything else ? |

Hi Guys,
Ferrari Spider I wish I could have made it to the classic, it looked like a great show. With my trips to Daytona, Sebring and the Petit its tough to afford much else, perhaps someday. I'm hoping to make a return to the 24 Hours next year after a couple of years away.
I was looking through some back issues of Motor Sport the other night and in an issue from a couple of years ago they had a great feature about the 1982 F1 season, 16 races with 11 different winning drivers, 7 winning teams. In 1981 and '83 six different winning drivers, In 1985 five different winners. Where have things gone so horribly wrong with F1? I'm not sure if we've had eleven different winners in the last decade.
John

Sorry Guys,
I'll step down off of my usual F1 soapbox (for a few minutes anyway)
2.4 liter V8's....Hell! Lets just break out some old 1.5 liter Coventry Climax's

Apparently Trulli has agreed to join Toyota to race alongside Schumacher jnr.
Formula One has gone down way down in my estimation, and these new rules sound absolutely ridiculous.

Jay, do you think ridiculous equates to joke? If so, do you think we could add to the "unrelated Le Mans joke" thread. Lets hope with the move of more car manufacturers into endurance racing it doesn't go the same way. |
