Someone should let Epsilon-Euskadi in, just so we get a team called 'Epic Racing'

We almost has "USF1" as well. Creativity with names in general is rather dead!


Yeah but imagine the commentators pronouncing UAE. Toro Rosso was something concrete to name, UAE is nothing, just U-A-E, or United Arab Emirates. Hispania is at least Hispania or H-R-T, where the letters actually stands for the team name. The same problem was of course with the USF1, just letters and number. The biggest problem with these two are obviously that they are different in every language, so our commentators saying either in Rally-English "The Unitet Arrabb Emirratess" or in Finnish or just mumbling "U-A-E" is going to be painful to listen.

Then again it's much better than Team Persia Racing or Sultan Racing or what ever, if they go ith nationalistic naming.

There's one little thing I would change about Monza. I think the finish line is well before the start line isn't it? I'd like to see the finish line further down the straight so you have a chance to slipstream past on the final lap.

At least it's accurate....

My gut feeling says he didn't really have a case and it was cheap to get rid of him

Senna was pleasantly surprising at Spa in difficult conditions even with his first corner mishap, glad to see him retain it.

Cool Senna in Brasil with the same livery as his uncle. Not a Lotus but still cool.
