7 Winners in 7 races. The first half of 2012 was super fun.

Bahrain will go but I'd imagine Abu Dhabi will stay. It's got the whole night race thing going for it (especially relevant with Singapore having said they're not renewing their contract when it's up) and it does more hospitality than most Grand Prix.

gently caress Bahrain though.

According to this article about Singapore possibly not renewing Malaysia is definitely gone after 2018. Gonna be lots of room for new/classic races soon :D

Just watched the highlights on sky. Seemed like a dull non-event?

Hey dummies. F1 hasn't been about sick passes in ages. Stop loving watching if that's what you expect?

I was pretty consistent last year in my love of Nico Bossberg.

All the non-pay midfield/backfield drivers are just in Formula E now, where they're mostly still midfield non-pay drivers, Like Gutierrez just finished 10th.

Good race though.

To change the topic from smelly pissy things (F1) to something better, the formula e race yesterday was genuinely good in case anyone didn't know.

Yup

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"

The most disgusting thing about that Horner photo is the fact that he was MD of a F3000 team at 27.

Very. Looks like she failed to slow under a Red Flag:

quote:

An incident involving Formula 4 driver Sophia Floersch at Oschersleben is being investigated after she nearly crashed into a recovery vehicle under red flag conditions.

A video published by Floersch on her social media accounts showed the onboard footage of her car during free practice as she just managed to avoid a road vehicle entering the track from the right hand side.

An ADAC spokesperson told Motorsport.com that Floersch had failed to slow down during the lap despite the red flags being displayed.

The video shows red flags on the right of the frame just moments before Floersch reaches the place where the safety vehicle is on its way to recover a stricken car in the run-off area to the left of the track.

Floersch publishing the onboard video footage of her car without prior approval of the series management is understood to be in violation of the rules.

Therefore, the stewards are investigating both incidents and Floersch could face a penalty for not slowing down enough and another penalty for publishing onboard video content without official clearance.
