They are splitting
I hope it does not destroy the series ala CART and INDY I do not want to see Hamilton racing in NASCAR
I don’t think he would ever join NASCAR
I was kidding. But it kills me to see the “talent” drain from IRL to NASCAR
:mamoru: IRL is a joke, take away the 500 and the series is crap. At least NASCAR is semi entertaining on an oval.
Righ… IRL is not what CART was. The best US talent goes to NASCAR now because that is where the money is.
Christ… that red bull car is insane…
17 days until German grand prix. Its anyones game in germany…
I didn’t watch it yet but that tells me vettel won so now i’m going to watch so I don’t lose my mind tonight
If vettel pushed it the entire race… he could have lapped brawn… 1 second better per lap is insane.
Germany should be much different. Silverstone is a very fast track and Redbull is big on aero, and it fit very well…
Redbull = absolutely dominant.
Brawn should be able to take germany. but I think Ferrari could really have a shot to take its first of the season. 17 days and lots of time to be ready for it.
Yes Dave I said it. enjoy it. and BMW fucking blows this year
YEAHHHHHHH!!! I’ve waited all season to hear that.
EDIT: BMW doesn’t suck… the chassis engineers just missed the target this year and haven’t figured that out yet
I guess I will not see Hamilton in NASCAR next year
“Max Mosley says an agreement has been reached with the Formula One Teams Association and that the threat of a breakaway series has been averted.”

I also think it would be an awesome idea to have the teams do a lapping day at the end of the season like in a Qualifying knockout way to see how much the cars improve over the time
I think the Merc engine with KERS would be the hot setup, assuming the rules are identical to current rules. Otherwise, it’s a toss-up. Honestly not sure it matters a hell of a lot. This year you live and die by the aero. I don’t think there is a lot of room for improvement in engines now, with the rev limit, you just want to make sure it’s reliable.
Huh? Like have the teams do a demo run at one of the first tracks of the season and compare times?
Fuck yea! exactly my thoughts.
Could be cool, as long as there was some incentive. Make it like a rally special stage so traffic isn’t a problem. Maybe award half the points of a real race or something to make the teams actually try.
I don’t care about incentive. I just think it would be great for the sport when you get all the people bitching about no passing.
The driver has a lot to do with the race but the car development, strategies, and everything else come into play. Its more like a reality TV series than a crash and bash race series like nascar.
ANNNNDDDDDD… another reason to be excited about singapore…
