I'll agree. Like to see Ross brawn get some wins

Even with vettel running away with the races there were still good races. Massa/Hamilton scuffle was pretty good especially Monaco

Yeah but it's always nice to see the best battles being the ones up at the front of the pack. :icon17:

So what I'm seeing is this dip on both the Ferrari and FI cars. But not on McLaren. I wonder why. Apparently the new rules state the nose cone must be lower to avoid going over the side pods and striking the driver
Mclarens solution looms much more streamlined.
With the collaboration between FI and McLaren I'm surprised they are so different. I know there are rules against or limiting colllusion between teams but still

Red Bull will show us which design is best when we see if their car has the hump or not. :icon17:

Arguably, the best racing on the planet.

Definitely a lot better than watching NASCAR.

So Speedweeks is well under way at Daytona, which means we're not too far off from the start of the F1 season. We've already had a few car reveals... discuss!

F1 is for n00bs. The real action and the exciting racing is in the LeMans Series. F1 is for dilettants :stirthepot:

Any race works for me as long as there's no Bud Light or Mullets.

Thankfully I'm not a typical F1-only prick so I can accept other forms of Motorsport as both challenging and exciting. :icon17:

Anyways, this isn't what this thread is about so let's try to keep it on topic.

F1 is for a handful of great drivers and a dozen rich boys that don't deserve their seat, let alone a ride at the local bumper car place. They just have enough money to buy a ride with a bottom tier team.

I'm pumped. My wife and I enter in a F1 fantasy pool. Last season she kicked butt, first place from race one and never looked back, she was number one all season (over 72 teams), won the big $$, and got the bragging rights... :shakes head:

Vettel is her driver and Alonso is mine. I could care less about Hamilton, yeah I'm still bitter about the Hamilton/Alonso Mclaren business...

Hopefully Ferrari will get their poop together and give my man a good car... :icon14:

Lotus revealed their car this morning. It has the dip in the nose but much less pronounced than the Ferrari and FI cars

And the LeMans series is great to watch as well. I love that speed does so much coverage for the 24 hours of LeMans
Also loved watching the Bathurst 1000 last year.
