Race director just confirmed that Marcus Mahy is in intensive care in an hospital in Liege, but he has woken up this morning, is responsive to all stimuli. He will be operated tomorrow.
Too many people here think that those who do not like the sound of the new F1 cars only feel this way because of the (lack of) loudness. That's not true. Loudness is not the only thing that makes the V6 turbos sound bad. Cars do not necessarily need to be loud to sound good. They just need to have a...
Maybe when one of them passes out in his car and crashes head on into a wall, the FIA will finally decide to raise the minimum weight restrictions on the cars. Dudes are walking skeletons.
Just because we watch motorsport doesn't automatically mean our opinion is correct. We armchair experts can also be incredibly annoying and wrong for the same reasons why we despise these social media commentators. Me included. I've been lurking the thread since the crash and I can confirm: - top n...
Great race. Gutted for Pageneaud because he had the car to win it. He went from 21st to 10ish on the last stint. But the last laps were insane, great Indy action as always!
Looks like the whole of Europe is getting infected with this shitty weather. Hope we're going to get a bit of dry running towards the later hours. The radar sadly does seem to indicate that there's going to be intermittent rain still coming down. Nope, blue skies here. BTW, speaking of French sente...
24 heures de la conduite amateur (amateur driving) 24 heures des accidents entre LMP et GT (crashes between LMPs and GTs) 24 heures des appels de phares (flashing lights) 24 heures des fous du volant (wacky races)
Heading to Barcelona next month. It will be my first GP visit. :excited: A question: Do they allow you to take a small video camera to the grandstand? I don't want to take a risk that I will be prohibited from entering the track. http://www.canon.fi/Images/LEGRIA%20HFR48%20BLACK%20REVERSE%20w%20LCD...
Sauber not participating in the Barca test because they have no new parts to test and no junior driver Where did it all go wrong for them? Protip: - Barça is the nickname of the FC Barcelona team. It does not apply to the city itself. - Typical nicknames for the city of Barcelona are Barna or BCN. ...
http://i.imgur.com/GTSF5ew.jpg So I got to see Hamilton and Rosberg's crash live, I was at that turn. What a great memory this will be. A friend of mine got to film it, I have asked him to share the video so I can show it to you guys. All the crowd just erupted and cheered. Not for the crash itself...
@siggy, the screen grab is after the contact. Nico abandoned the corner extremely early. He didn't abandon the corner, he was pushed off. You can clearly see in your grab that Vettel had a much tighter line and cornering angle around the corner. Rules clearly say when you have a driver at your side...
These guys are so used to 100m wide asphalt runoff, that even after 10 broken suspensions, they can't get themselves to stay away from the kerbs. Ridiculous.
And people were actually sad because this track may not be on the calendar anymore? History is one thing, but consistently producing bad races is another.
I would have welcomed Imola with open arms over this
Monza + V8/V10 engines = yay Monza + V6 turbos = hall of shit snoozefest
Well in Max's case he did gain an advantage, which only makes the penalty even more deserved. Doesn't change the fact that giving up on the fair effort to take a corner normally and lifting off to cut the corner should be an instant penalty, time gained or not. edit: I'm not a fan of penalties eithe...
