re: The Official F1 Thread Oh, only sligtly more than a lot.

re: The Official F1 Thread Even if it does get banned, I think Brawn are still going to be quick. It's stuck me as very odd that a car should be fast solely because of he very last end of its body. No, a lot of Bran's speed comes from their front end. And I think Webber is very much in danger...

re: The Official F1 Thread Uh, Kovalainen cause the first-corner accident. He hit Barrichello, who collected Webber, who proceeded to take out the last domino in the line, Nick Heidfeld. Barrichello wholly deserved that second place: he managed to remain competitive in what was essentially a...

re: The Official F1 Thread No they're not. Senna was magic in the wet, especially at Monaco. All it did last year was spit a little and they were referring to Hamilton as the Brazilian reincarnated. Luck had a hell of a lot to do with Hamilton's race today because the safety car Nakajima...

re: The Official F1 Thread True, but they were allowed to conduct in-season testing last year. The R28 was the second-worst car at the beginning of 2008, better than only Honda's RA108. That's one of the main problems with the Brawn, Williams and Toyota diffusers: if they are permitted, the...

re: The Official F1 Thread It'll never happen. Ferrari have said that they don't want Alonso as they're happy with both their drivers. If they have their eye on anybody, it's Sebastian Vettel. Alonso might have been a double World Champion, but he was barely mentioned in the race. Hell, Piquet...

re: The Official F1 Thread The six cars behind the Brawns are running around 650 kilograms; the Brawns are running in the high 660s. This is the full breakdown; as the cars have a minimum 605kg weight, the number in brackets is the actual weight of fuel on-board: Button: 664.5 (59.5)...

re: The Official F1 Thread Don't be so sure: the FI released fuel weight data on all the cars after qualifying, and the Brawns are carrying nearly twenty kilograms more than everyone else who made it to Q3. Some of the teams may have been sandbagging in the lead-up to qualifying, but Brawn...

re: The Official F1 Thread Toyota qualifying times disavowed for illegally flexing wings. They will now start 19th and 20th; Hamilton bumped up to 18th. Williams will lodge protest against Ferrari and Red Bull for aerodynamical issues. F1 fans protest overy political nature of sport.

re: The Official F1 Thread Hamilton is now starting from stone cold motherless last after McLaren changed his gearbox and taking the five-spot penalty. One has to onder what they're playing at though: why wait this late to change? I can't see much benefit in starting last with a fresh gearbox...

re: The Official F1 Thread First time in nearly forty years, too. Last time this happened, it was Jackie Stewart and Chris Amon in the Marches in the 1970 South African Grand Prix.

re: The Official F1 Thread No, he only put forth a proposal to buy the team, as did several other interested parties. The right to sell the team was held by Honda, and they ultimately decided on a management buy-out by Ross Brawn rather than sell to Branson.

5pm tomorrow. Starting time was changed to accomodate European viewers who have traditionally had to wake up in the small hours to catch the opening race. Now they only need to have a six o'clock wake-up call. Also there's an F1 thread bordering 400 pages here. It's probably one of the oldest...

re: The Official F1 Thread Good news: Brawn GP, Williams and Toyota have all been declared legal by the stewards and will be allowed to take to the circuit. Ferrari, Red Bull and Renault are likely to lodge an appeal against the decision with the International Court of Appeals, but a hearing is...

Yes, and those reasons are opinions. Not facts. They are two entirely different things, which you seem to be confusing for each other presently. The point is that you think it's a bad film, for all those reasons. It doesn't make it fact. You want to hear all of them, then? - Every single actor...

re: The Official F1 Thread That's because McMerc have been running an '08-spec wing for "testing purpses" (ie testing the effects of the new front end), as well as running 2010-spec tyres. They've also made a few modifications to the undercarriage, carving a pair of triangular recesses into it...

I'm sorry, do you want to try that again? You say your taste in film has no basis in subjectivism, and then you go ahead and say something subjective straight away. Your opinions are not facts, however much you might want them to be; the sheer fact that I think QUANTUM OF SOLACE is a good film...

re: The Official F1 Thread Well, JB toped the timing sheets at Barcelona for most of yesterday. It wasn't unil the end of the day that he got pipped for fourth ... I don't know what Brawn has done, but it's clearly good!

Yes, because you're such an expert on good films. You like WATCHMEN, but hate QUANTUM OF SOLACE. I like QUANTUM OF SOLACE, but not WATCHMEN. I'm the polar opposite of you on that count, so that clearly I'm wrong about everything. I'm sure you'll go a long way with the "You're wrong because you...

But the medium of the graphic novel is a much broader canvas than a celluloid film strip. Moore and Gibbons could take their time to explore what they wanted to, and the reader ould pursue it at their own leisure. I read WATCHMEN over the course of three days, but the film was forced down my...
