The MP4-24 is not too bad actually, it's just under-developed. McLaren have a habit of producing (at times) questionable chassis (MP4-18 if I remember correctly) was never raced in anger due to...

What's with Aussies & holidaying? :cool:

What would you do?

I'd acquire a new engine & KERS system. My first choice would be to turn to Williams for the flywheel system & to Toyota for RVX10 units. Realistically there's no other option,...

Massa's replacement:


- Bourdais is possible if Nicholas Todt gets his way, & Bourdais will relish the chance at a half decent car.

- Schumacher, not bloody likely.

- Coulthard, more...

Hamilton, first he killed his tyres, then he ended up being over-lapped & failed to score a point.

Qualifying:
Three session (#1, #2, #3) running at 30 minutes each. Best time (of the three) is recorded & is counted as pole position. For example, if the Fastest qualifying lap was set in the...

I say top-six (10-6-4-3-2-1) it would promote fiercer competition for points, & especially for the win. Remember, second place isn't good enough any more. Likewise, I am not sure if FL & PP should...

I say find ways to make F1 cost-effective. Start by insisting that each chassis should last x2 seasons!

Budget caps do not provide the right solution. Imagine if that was the case for football (soccer) & how that would impact on everything. Likewise, Ferrari (for example) owns six tracks & does not pay...

They're all ugly except the McLaren & Williams. Then again the rear & front wings simply look so strange. Ferrari is Ok looking but the F2007 was the rear beauty.

I don't think that US drivers from Indy can make it. F1 is too complex & challenging for them. I mean, Indy tracks are easy to learn & lack the depth whereas F1 tracks are so difficult to master. I...

With respect, every 'crisis' is the 'worst' since the Great Depression, it's always media hype (to sell stories?) & people at the US Department of Commerce are the least complacent of all so they...

Could never work as intended. Every constructor has different cost-structures & of course efficiencies differ as a result. For instance, it's not as easy as 'cap it at USD 150 million each' but...

I don't disagree but I'd say that sponsorship cannot be rotated.

As I see it, one engine x2 races (1,000km including race weekends) will optimise engine development to go to the distance, & one...

I support KERS, I just don't think that it was the right time to introduce it or the correct approach. A standard KERS? I don't know, I don't like it any more than a standard engine.

No I don't actually. Jordan is not blessed with oil. I just don't think that the whole financial crisis is as bad as it's made out to be in the media. The actual crisis & causes/solutions are another...

The financial crisis is not as bad as most make it out to be. In any case, everybody said F1 would suffer when tobacco advertising was curtailed but look what happened.

As for Renault's scheme, I...

I reckon that the problems with regard to lack of over-taking can be resolved by reverting to the pre-2003 pointing system, that is to award the top-six finishers (10-6-4-3-2-1) but without putting...

The main difference is that the 2008 & 2009 cars are that the former cost a lot more to manufacture, maintain & test where the latter would be cheaper in all those aspects even without the testing...

I don't disagree, although I think that the FIA/FOM regulations appear to want to solve everything (from lack of over-taking to ultra-high costs) but the problem is that they are not addressing the...

Renault or Williams won Grand Prix titles without the mammoth budgets that Ferrari or McLaren had, & often pioneered smart technology over muscle. Same applies to Lotus or Brabham in their days. It...

Personally I think that the idea to bring back grooveless tyres & the tighter aerodynamic regulations should work well, although it's a shame somewhat as it removes the competitive element. As for...

Don't know about all. The USF1 proposal sounds a little unusual but if you ask me, if it is supported by all Indy teams & uses the US-based series to get American racers & manufacturers into F1 then...

Bourdais doesn't need to be demoted to Indy. Bad luck played against him in F1 all too often but in point of fact he's just too good for Indy or ChampCar. I think the issue is now about sponsorship,...
