yo yo yo... easy there... from what I remember Miguel was willing enough to call his own retirement mid 2006 season. The dude had 7 WC and was unable to win the last two to Alonso (mind you its because the FIA screwed Ferrari over) but still.

He decided to come back and I respect that... but he came back into the enemy team. He was the one that chose kimi as his replacement.

I understand that was the rule they used against him but shouldn't they have left the track at yellow? I can totally understand the confusion of green = open racing.

Chupacabra · 05-18-2010, 03:47 PM

Yeah.. that part was wack, they should have kept the flags yellow...

I still think the penalty was a little to extreme... they should just demote him back to the position he was in 7th place.

Buuttttttttttttttttttttttt as the commentators at Speed where saying before the race even got started:

"there is Damon Hill, part of the stewards and he does not like Michael"

Exactly. Damon I'm sure was making a huge case to penalise Schumi. That's the one bad thing about using drivers on the steward panel... one might have a grudge!!!

Chupacabra · 05-18-2010, 03:52 PM

Maybe they should get drivers who have not raced with the current line up... I know its hard considering Michael and Rubbens have been there for 10+ years...

I just don't understand how something like this gets a penalty... but WonderBreads stunt with Vettel in the pits gets nothing.

Hey Guys

I've been a big fan of F1 for about 6 years running. Never been to a live race, almost made it to Indy when they had the tire fiasco and glad I didn't go, but would love to see one sometime.

Wife wants to combine a race date with a trip to Spain. Can't argue with that

So hopefully next year.

Going live is definitely an experience. You wont really enjoy the race as much as you only see a section.. but the sound of the engines which hurts your ears, even when you use ear plugs is incredible...

I used to go to interlagos all the time when i lived in brazil...I managed to be at the last Argentina GP... The best though was when i was a younglin living in Estoril, Portugal. we lived literally one hill behind the track, and would climb the hill to watch the race... back when Senna was racing...

but I was not able to root for Senna, since my grandfather only believes in Ferrari.

GREAT times... i miss living close to an f1 race.

FIA may allow last-lap racing on clear track

Kind of useless in my opinion... (not your post, but the new rule) But I guess if the track is clear you could race...

I like the first response though:

Here's an idea: get rid of a lot of the "innovations" incorporated in the rules these last 10 years or so.

How about: a displacement limit of 1.5 liters, either 4 or 6 cylinders; maybe a limit on turbo boost, perhaps no more than 30 psi; no limits on aerodynamics, no limits on fuel capacity or number of refueling stops; no restriction on tire size, or maybe a reasonable variation allowed; and maybe an increase in the minimum weight, so that titanium and carbon fibre are not required for every component.

Formula 1? - The Official F1? Website

That's right, F1 is coming back to the US. I'm only a 3hr drive down there...I'm going every season!

m4a1mustang · 05-25-2010, 03:05 PM

Wow! That's cool. And it's going to be a purpose built facility, too. I hope it's not some ******** Tilke design.

Austin is a good city for it... lots of stuff to do around there.

I think my dream race weekend would be a Sprint Cup and F1 double-header... nomnomnomnomnom

sig11 · 05-25-2010, 03:19 PM

YAY! I'm psyched... and the first race is two years from now...
