I have never cared about the technical naming scheme of the cars, just as I have never cared about Simpsons episode numbers, and I feel my ignorance is justified for a change

I like in the 80s when it was changed like 4 times in a decade for no real reason.

I've said it before and I'll argue for it again. Full cockpit protection that makes the start trek door opening "pshh" noise when it opens and closes. You could add in lights and dry ice special effects if you want to be swanky, Edit at some point the question becomes why not?

Where they have gone wrong with DRS is not having it as a big [X] projected on to the track which moves at random each lap.

Just cam across this trying to get virgin login sky sports app if its of any use Sky Sports Mobile If you want to stream to a tablet or phone, I assume its uk and ireland only (Proxy?) Basically £9.99 a month, no contract (pack 2 for F1) http://www.skysports.com/mobile/apps/9653846/sky-sports-mobile-tv

It looks to be £15 a month, but, here be dragons, upscaling phone apps to a tablet usually gives very low resolution. They need to give way more information on it, I sense ofcom having a chat soon.

I used to use it back when you could still trick a jailbroken iPod into displaying it on a TV. It comes out looking like one of the better illegal flash streams, but much worse than any other legal solution or even something like Acecast.

I've been looking at some old pics and stuff, for the hell of it, as you do. So here's Kimi back in 2001: And here's what Sauber thought of him back then: quote:Sauber also has very high expectations of Kimi Räikkönen. "From the moment that he first sat in one of our cars, at Mugello in September last year, Kimi showed himself to be a most unusual young man. He had never driven anything more powerful than a Formula Renault at that point, but he did not put a wheel wrong and managed to set highly impressive lap times.

On every car there are two decals, one of them is a capital E inside of a circle and the other is instead a capital N. The E is usually found on the side pod just behind the driver's head, while the N is located on the nose just forward of the cockpit. Any idea what they designate? I can remember them being on the cars for the past several years at least.

Windsor's YouTube channel is its own little bowl of special. Half the videos are these very elaborate explanations of technical developments on different cars and then the other half is just making poo poo up talking about the most recent race while driving his kid to school who inevitably interrupts him.
