Formula One 2010

Today give Alfroso a good car and he's hard to beat

Missed this 1st time around... Can't exactly say the Ferrari is a slouch!

Edit: benny the cunt, still, if Webber does happen to end up with better results, say 1/2 way into the season, surely red bull would have to give him the #1 spot??
(Interesting convo as qualifying going on right now! and both RBs up there...)

Spoiler:

vettel pole, webber 7th (i think). massa out qualifies alonso in his first race back after the horrific accident he had.

i really hate the fact such an awesome season is starting in Bahrain. Not only is it such a boring track to watch a race on, it won't be a true indicator of a team's pace as the lap is so long now (extended since last season) and the new section is so tight no team knows what set-up to use.

With the limited practice per weekend in really is a crap shoot here.

Just wait til Melbourne/Sepang/Shanghai. Known tracks with proven set-ups will show us the true speed of each team.

Anyone else here follow the greatest sport in the world?

Apart from Poker you mean?

Sorry mate i don't.

I'd much rather play poker as bad as Nathan it meant I could race F1 cars.

And Damn 6 in '91 Caleb! Didnt realize you quite that young (actually, reading that just made me feel OLD lol

Just re-reading that, considering I was born in 86, that would make me 5 actually. I was already a veteran. I attended my first race at 3 years old.

BTW, you said you were going to tone down your hair 3 weeks ago, BigBird???

Dude, you don't tone down awesomeness.

I kinda think the fact they have to carry around a full race worth of fuel will make such proven set-ups obselete, or atleast innacurate, consider the difference between the car's handling on the first to last lap?? Or perhaps teams will come up with methods to dynamically change more than just wing angle either on the track or during a tyre stop? Still going to change the whole dynamic of the setups... I think its kind of odd to rule they cant change anything on the car except the amount of fuel between Qualifying and the race... Ok yeah, less fuel in Qualifying and they will go faster, but they still need to use a setup capable of staying on the track with a tankfull! I liked the days when they could fitout the car for a flying lap, then change for race conditions....

Caleb, I dont think either F1 or Poker is the greatest sport in the world, but I immensly enjoy both, pity I can only actually experiance 1 of them! But given the choice between F1 WC 2011 or Poker WSOP Champ 2011, I think Id take the later...

But I am very keen to see how the new rules will effect the racing, obv put more emphasis on the driving... But as I said above, maybe some teams will come up with ways to overcome some limitations like more dynamic setup changing? Much to look forward to me thinks!

They were your words, not mine....

I can just imagine Caleb saying this in real life with the straightest face possible, and its goddamn hilarious.

LOL, and you would be about $90 million poorer!!

[AJG]

Has nothing to do with money then, obviously....
LOL @ materialism

[JMACK007]

Actually, I'm not materialistic at all, but if you gave me the choice between $10M or $100M, I would probably take the 100!!

Also a hell of alot more prestige being a F1 WC, than winning the WSOP mate.....
