So is this radiobahn going to be reversed? It seems like any halfwit (Brundle) has figured out how detrimental it is to the show and serves absolutely no purpose other than to be cuntish.

If you follow GP2, Binder is replacing Canamasas from this weekend

GPUpdate

If you don't follow GP2 this is probably a Good Thing because Canamasas is a bellend.

Canamasas is basically double Maldonado.

What's replacing him is Haryanto's slower twin. He had a weekend in an ART car this year and couldn't score a point.

I find it surprising that Haryanto isn't the worst performing driver on the grid this year.

its Toyota redux.

Their design is awful and they do not have enough tokens to rectify the issue. They cannot do it this year. In addition, they started 2 years late more or less, what were you expecting?

I seem to remember a lot of people thinking mclarens access to mercedes new turbo engine would let them make a good performing carbon copy.

Would have been a good idea, in hindsight.

Mercedes owns the engine, not McLaren. It's not like they could of have just handed one over to Honda.

mercedes kept a lot of engine data away from mclaren in the last year of that deal, which was one of the reasons why they were so bad that year

I'd never seen one until the vid posted last page. If all NASCAR races were done like that I'd probably watch it. F1 would be so interesting if drivers was cussing people out left and right, getting directions from the pit wall, etc....but wait, NOPE.

It would be supercool if the rules knuckleheads remembered this is a team sport.

Eather ban the loving radio fully and go to pit boards. Or reverse the loving rule.

It'd be fine and we'd all adapt. This in between situation is stupid and doesn't help criticism that this entire sport has become a gimmick recently.

I just dont understand if we're already banning V10s and active aerodynamics and ABS (all standard things on road-sports cars) but going back to H-Pattern shifters is a bridge too far into the past.

A formula of Single plane, active wings, ground effects and proper gearboxes would MAKE F1 GREAT AGAIN.

I meant more the other stuff. Head protection will be forced through on safety grounds anyways. Why they put it up to the vote is bewildering.

The curbs at Austria were actually a good solution since you rightfully destroyed your car going over it. This phony policing they were trying where you get a penalty for exceeding is stupid though.
