MikeO Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 OK here's a question. Given that F1 bosses have said that the new World Champ's father gets to wave the chequered flag today (LINK) what's going to happen if Massa's leading into the final lap, Hamilton fifth with Alonso half a second behind in sixth? Mr Massa and Mr Hamilton have tug-off ( ) to see who gets to hold the flag ? One thing that's pissing me off more than a little is the huge deal being made (on 5live this morning for eg) that Hamilton's "black," and what a great thing it'll be for the black community if he wins it. Firstly he's about as far removed from what they mean when they say black community (inner city, gang ghetto stuff) as Michael Jackson is. And secondly he's mixed race....his mother's white. If people started going on about what a great thing it would be for the "white" community if he won there'd be uproar and screams of racism. Anyway. my last word on the matter....may the best Brazilian win (though I'm fairly confident Lewis will do it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Am in two minds about this one. Didn't want Hamilton to win but now he has I'm kinda' pleased with him. After all he is British, just hope he's not arragant with this win. I was really cheering when Massa crossed the line in first thought that Hamilton may slip up on the last lap and he did. Glock got past him and managed to hold him off well. Really surprised when Hamilton got past him. He finished four seconds behind Lewis. Glock managed to stay in 6th I think. Feel sorry for Massa. His team and family were cheering in the pits and I think they had told him that the World Championship was his, they obviously hadn't noticed Glock going wide on the penultimate corner. Massa crying on the podium. Really feel sorry for the guy, I'm sure he'll win next time round. He would have this year if his car would have been better mechanical wise.

MikeO Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Was Glock just stupid or something more sinister? Apparently Glock lost a 23 second lead in the last lap? He wasn't stupid and it wasn't sinister, just that he and Trulli (his team-mate) were the only two that took the risk and stayed on dry tyres when it started raining at the end. It nearly worked but on the last lap they both were struggling and went round in 1.44 (within a tenth of each other). Hamilton's last lap was a 1.26 and as he beat Glock by five seconds in the end 23 so seconds is about right. No conspiracy (though Hamilton fans would doubtless have found one had he lost....Enzo Ferrari got God to make it rain or something equally plausible) or stupidity. The rain (and his inability to beat Vettel) appeared to have taken the title off Hamilton, but then it gave it back to him. Perhaps he really does have god in the car with him ? He won't win it again though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 BMW Sauber Season In Numbers Think Formula One racing and the numbers that normally spring to mind are power outputs, top speeds and budgets. But numerically speaking there is far more than meets the eye to the average Grand Prix season. Did you know, for example, that brake discs can reach temperatures of up to 1000 degrees Celsius? Or that it takes around 40 hours to assemble a gearbox? BMW Sauber reveal some of the more surprising facts and figures from their 2008 season, as they continue to prepare for their '09 campaign... - A driver sheds an average of two kilos in weight per Grand Prix. - Formula One tyres may heat up to 130 degrees Celsius. Beyond this level, there is an increased risk of blistering. - The exhaust reaches temperatures of up to 950 degrees Celsius. - After a race, it takes the team at least eight working hours to dismantle the car, test and replace individual components, and reassemble the car.

The rest of the standings, from second to last place, will be decided by the current points system. If two or more drivers finish the season with the same number of wins, the title will be awarded to the driver with the most points, the allocation of points being based on the existing 10, 8, 6 etc. structure.

dark Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've not been a massive fan of Formula One over the years, MotoGP is more my thing but this time round I'm hooked. I watched the season finalé at Brazil last time round and thought that it was a fantastic race (even if Massa did lose) I can't say that I've warmed to Hamilton, I will say now that I won't be supporting him. Jenson Button seems to be the man that I've been following pre-season, the Brawn team are looking at giving teams like McLaren and Ferrari something to chase after which should be interesting. Like I said I'm not a massive F1 buff but this season I am going to try and follow it, for Australia my support is with Brawn GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be good to see a bit of a shake-up . Seems ridiculous to me that there's still an appeal on about these diffusers that Brawn, Williams and Toyota have got. They all obviously came up with their designs independently and were themselves convinced they were within the rules. They all passed scrutineering and the FIA have thrown out the protest. The others are just cross they didn't come up with something similar, but you can be damn sure all their factories are working round the clock to copy them.

dark Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm sure that they will do. Brawn now have a head start if you like on the other teams and can make up some points until others catch up. Jenson and Rubens have the ability to complete the race in the top positions its just about keeping it steady and going through with it all. McLaren are having a shocking start to this campagn but I would never write them off. This season more than ever they will be wanting to win and won't be letting some technical hitches stop them from maximum success. It's going to be interesting from the word go.

MikeO Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Torro Rosso press release this morning (the timing of it is significant). "In the interests of maximising car reliability in high temperatures and humidity usually encountered in Malaysia, the Kers system will not actually use the recovered energy to boost engine power in the usual fashion." "Instead the teams plan to use Kers as a sophisticated DCA (Driver Cooling Aid)." "Energy recovered under braking is used to drive a refrigeration unit to chill down the cool store." "This is connected into a special driver suit, so when the driver presses the Kers button cold liquid is circulated around his suit reducing his body temperature." "Studies have shown that an increase in core body temperature of just one degree can reduce driver performance by as much as 23%." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
