OFFICIAL F1 2011

Looks ok but the 'your name here' stuff isn't so good.

It sounds like they are quite desperate ain't they with stuff like that splattered on the HRT?
Apart from that, the new livery looks ok. To be honest, I have to see how it does in testing first but I'm not convinced with the new Virgin Racing car as well.

i'll expect those sponser spaces to be filled up when they hire a second driver if they ever do

Whoever does will gain the Pedro Diniz trophy for Pay Drivers

i really dont no why im the only one that really rates Bruno, if his family didnt stop him racing he would have got to f1 very quickly, plus its not just his name thats got him there, hes put in the work too. ok yes klien beat him but he had more miles under his belt. every one knows how lucky hamilton was, drivers need luck, bruno needed that in 2009 and never got it.

Names get you nowhere.

HRT = Zonta's BAR before the duel-livery issue.

Force India = Meet the new livery, same as the old livery.

I think you've missed the subtleties here!! F1 Rocks.....not F1 Rock.


Don't worry, I do it all the time. Lately, I've been missing the bloody obvious too!!

Same thing aint they? Anyway how does Guetta Rock? How do the Sugarbabes rock? and who will WANT to watch this happen? It costs several bodyparts just to sit at the furthest point from the startline of the GP let alone any form of "Rock" Concert that is supposed to take place there.

what!!

Found this simulation of what happened in Kubica's crash:

Hes so lucky to be alive!

That type of accident with the barrier is very unusual. Kubica is a very lucky man!

Renult Confirm they are looking for an experienced Driver to replace Kubica...

...Bad luck Bruno. I guess Renault always assumed it would be Petrov that incapacitated himself....

Kind of surprised Kimi Raikkonen's name hasn't popped up - I mean Renault were talking to him at the end of 2010, but I guess he didn't want to be joint number 1 or number 2 to Kubica. Would seem an ideal replacement, a proven race winner.

His name is Nick and he has a beard and he likes art and he is from Germany..... No1 choice

Can you guess who it is yet?

The guy with the Joy of Sex beard?

But yeah, there was no way Senna was getting that seat.

Its Heidfeld vs Senna for the Renault Seat....

Kubica is lucky, at least he is alive after all that.

Ford File Lawsuit against Ferrari over them calling their F1 car the F150.

Ford Said it Traded on the goodwill created by the Pickup-trucks brandname (because we all thought that a Ferrari F1 car was a spin off *Slowly Claps)

In Response Ferrari have Changed the name of the car to F150th Italia. But havnt Officially commented on the subject....

Personally, I do hope Senna gets the seat.

Not for nostalgia or anything, but because I think Heidfeld's time has come and gone, and Senna deserves a chance with a decent team. While it's likely it's not a championship-contending seat, it is still capable of competitive times, and that would determine whether he's worthy or not of being in F1, unlike that travesty HRT fielded last year.

I think Senna is worth a shot, he must have something, and I'd rather see them take the gamble with Bruno than plump for safe-hands Nick.

+1

Is it me or are Red Bull literally taking the mick now

Nick Heidefeld does his chances of a Renault seat wounders by posting the fastest Time of the day in Testing, just ahead of Fernando Alonso, With Yesterdays Number one Michael Schumacher in 3rd.

red bull still seem to be the fastest but on single lap pace im not so sure. Ferrari looks best at the moment, with team lotus in the midfield now.

Well observed Chad..

When I read this bit from an interview with Heidfeld he immediately went up a lot in my rankings. Just liked that honesty and frame of mind ;O)

Q. Robert was fastest at Valencia, you are fastest today. Does that mean that the car is not too bad, at least?

NH: I think it means the car is not s**t, but not a lot more than that. Most guys here, if they take the fuel out and put very soft tyres on all day, nearly anybody could be in front. But it is not a bad sign.
