That is the nub of the problem. NASCAR "overtaking" is mainly stagecraft, but F1 really needs to work on the problem of slow cars being able to stay in front of fast ones.

I have to agree. As a US F1 fan, I would love to see half a dozen GPs in the U.S. But I would rather see one race succeed than two races fail. And since the USGP left Watkins Glen in 1980, getting...

If they are selling it as being as fast as current cars, it must have ground effects.

My question about leaving off wings is more practical - how will team adjust the distribution of downforce at...

I swear off forecasting - I couldn't possible come up with a scenario that would be that much fun.

Well, you don't have my Jim Clark obsession. You are forgiven.

Well, the maybe, sorta stories around Renault leaving make Kubica/Brawn at least a sporting proposition. With the right odds from your bookie, it could be attractive. ;)

1967 - Clark and Hill. But neither was the reigning champion that year. And Jenson may find he occupies Hill's role - #1B instead of equal #1.

Am I the only one scratching my head now? ...

I don't think the economy is a good argument. IndyCar need to plan for the long term here. If these economic conditions hold up through 2012, the IRL is toast. Should they get ahead of the curve...

Those teams may make the grid, but if they are far behind in their timelines they will not be well prepared and will be likely to struggle immensely. I agree with N Jones that the acid test will be...

The fastest turn-around in F1 history - apparently Rosberg left Brawn before he even signed with them! Definite WDC material with that speed - in a different test it has taken the current Champion...

I think it makes more sense to use the IMS road track as a season ender. Right now, the season ends with an absolute whimper. The final race, the champion crowned, and no is watching in the stands...

Maybe they can get a deal to run the F1 World Championship on shaved Toyo RA-1s, just like Spec Miata does!

:p

What happened to my picks was rather the opposite. Once I picked the Mercedes engine and Ferrari chassis (the picks I had confidence in :s ) my budget was gone, so the last minute offering of...

No. They have been flogging a "sporting" Lexus at car shows lately, but given the brand heritage it seems likely to come in as a luxury item if it gets produced. The last MR2 was a fine sports car...

It really would be better to see the major manufacturers just come into F1 as engine suppliers only. I think that McLaren-Mercedes has largely worked due to Daimler's willingness to be a silent...

Well since Williams is playing dog-in-the-manger about Rosberg, I hope that Brawn forbids Barrichello working with Williams until the day after his current contract expires. Williams needs to learn...

Just like everyone else in the US, including the US Treasury...... :\

More seriously, even if they don't employ an American driver in F1 (as others have stated none are ready now), I'd like to...

Sounds like you and I are in about the same place on this issue. The size and complexity of front wing profiles has really gotten out of control the past couple of years. And since the cars are...

No, my birthday!

:p

But in their current financial state, it may be able to rent WilliamsF1! ;)
