What universe were you living in where Red Bull were anything other than insufferable cocks?

Also: welcome back.

"He has come up with this idea to send him to Indianapolis, but he must be barking mad. It is the nuttiest race I have ever seen.

There is no testing. He is just going to jump in the car. Turn 1 is a proper Turn as well, it is not easy flat all the way around. So I think he needs to see a psychiatrist personally."

Yip, no six days of testing or rookie induction, just jumping in the car.


"Would we let out drivers do it? No. I believe if a driver commits to a team, it is a bit like disappearing with another girlfriend halfway through the year and then coming back. It doesn't seem the right thing to be doing."

Kind of like leaving your pregnant wife for a spice girl? Atleast he didn't go back though!

Yes the default settings on the now tv box is 720p and there is another option for 1080p in options. I'm assuming poor programming rather than some hidden agenda.

It's not so much 'poor programming' as much as 'sky saving 50% on bandwidth costs from people who don't know/care about quality"

Drive up the value of the company via unsustainable methods and then sell the company to somebody else before it blows up in your face? Sounds like he was just being a good businessman.

They just tested last month at the track proper.Not to mention they tested at Phoenix back in March and such.

I'm a bit surprised this story has blown up in the way it is. I I don't know what the reputation for the Indianapolis 500 is back in europe so to see it get this much publicity is kinda nice.

I was just reading this article about Indy testing: https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/drivers-agree-honda-has-improved-rahal-scorns-chevy-sandbagging-893957/

And I found it hilarious that Honda hired a dude from Ferrari to help their Indy engine program, but apparently still refuses to do so for their actual F1 team.

The reputation is as I said. We saw Zinardi lose his legs because of the format of the racing. There are plenty of examples. I know you guys are all comon its not that bad but the rest of the world really wonders what youre thinking

oh hey! its that guy! look hes got a good ole boy avatar and everything.

Well this is the F1 thread, mate. You can go and talk about how ovals are good somewhere, but it sure isn't here.

I watched the Mansell 93 season review yesterday. Its on youtube. Guess what happened to Mansell at his first outing at an oval, Phoniex it was?

Near career ending accident. Nothing interesting or cool, just the car swapped ends while turning into a corner at 300kph. He was knocked unconcious and his back literally split open internally.
