Turkey is a bizzarre choice IMO...what's the market out there for cars or anything in fact?

What baffles me is the Hungaroring? Who is paying for this dire procession of a track to be on the...

Exactly, so to blanket say that 1 Formula of racing drivers are better than another is preposterous!

I presume you mean inferior machinery in F1...as I say he was outclassed by Morbidelli in the...

Canada need more funding or bigger gate receipts to keep their GP because Bernie will only take the most profitable races onto his calendar. Screw supporters, drivers taste and the spectacle...money...

NASCAR drivers are definitely talented, and I do not think they in any way have it easy or are in an inferior series...

BUT:

This is from a bloke who couldn't score points in F1, or get...

Predictions for Luca you say woody2goody:

Qualifying - 19th
Race - 9th

He will push too hard in Quali and have an off in Q1, but will have a good race, get to grips with the car and move up...

Well there was Jonathan Palmer, and Jonathan Summerton...

No 'Beagles' in racing as far as I know lol ;)

Slightly off topic but I think the impetus the WRC so desperately needs would surely come if Ari Vatanen manages to gain FIA presidency. I have the impression that he could be crucial in attracting...

Barely!

Well, as Williams would be eligible for extra testing due to their smaller budgets I highly doubt they would be arguing too much about their past.

Engineering results is something I am also...

It is a lack of a reward.



They receive cash for their position in the F1 Standings iirc, but the reason for another team not doing so well could easily be related to a lack of resources...

Lol yeah realised that as soon as I'd posted it...thought about editing then thought 'meh' they will know I didn't mean in the ACTUAL tunnel itself but rather in whatever other straight line tests...

A problem with many of these cars is that in real life they wouldn't be the fastest as the only places they can hit these speeds is in Bonneville, a more interesting question would be which cars hit...

I completely agree with everything you say actually...but that is the reason for my suggestion! Not everyone has the same opportunity, the teams have, as you say, vastly different budgets and levels...

I think the confusion here may have come from the fact that Badoer hasn't participated in a recognised test session in the F60, but he must have tested the car over the winter at Fiorano/in the wind...

Who says they didn't this year? :O

I mean Nico has been one of the most consistent performers after the Red Bull's...it isn't a coincidence that he's 5th in the Championship and the best non-Red...

No.

For sure Sauber saving his team (not a coincidence that it was always called BMW-Sauber folks...) is a stop-gap to handing it over to someone with the resources to run it properly.

In fact I'd go...

@KnockOn look at the system, it may reward the mediocre but only if they use it well, and it in no way punishes the strong...rather it simply does not reward them.

You cannot possibly expect F1...

How would it create an unfair playing field? The whole point is that if a team started benefitting so much from it that they gained a performance advantage they would score points and move out of the...

Yes...similar to what I posted up there. Except in my opinion it should be the current top 8 Constructors in the Championship that should have an automatic place in Qualifying, and then anyone else...

If there's anything you can't accuse Schumacher of it is being a chicken! This is the man who was almost fearless in treacherous conditions and would come across as arrogant and even robotic at...

Why? This would be the catalyst that smaller teams in F1 need. The bigger and faster teams are not the ones who need the testing mileage...sure they could and would use it, but if they did have...
