Uncle Albert Posted 4 February 2010 Posted 4 February 2010 Am I right in saying that Button is struggling so far keeping up with Hamilton?
Brainy Posted 4 February 2010 Posted 4 February 2010 ...he's had one practice session it'll take time for him to settle in anyway to get a feel for the car etc. and get used to the new surroundings.
fatmando Posted 4 February 2010 Posted 4 February 2010 I don't rate Button. He had a quick car at the start of last season which won him the championship. I think he'll struggle this year.
Asha Posted 4 February 2010 Author Posted 4 February 2010 Mclaren are the cheats! This! I hope you continue posting in this thread throughout the season.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 4 February 2010 Posted 4 February 2010 I got a rejection letter today saying I can't marshall the British Gp , absolutely gutted Just go and do it anyway - get yourself the clothing, make yourself a pass. They won't pay any attention.
Asha Posted 5 February 2010 Author Posted 5 February 2010 Some of the new cars that have been unveiled. The Renault and Virgin cars look awesome.
fatmando Posted 5 February 2010 Posted 5 February 2010 The Renault is a beaut. Yeah it is. It reminds me of the old Buzzin' Hornets Jordan.
Asha Posted 5 February 2010 Author Posted 5 February 2010 The Virgin reminds me quite a bit of the old Midland F1 car as well.
dandannieldanok Posted 5 February 2010 Posted 5 February 2010 Not a massive fan of the Ferrari, looks a bit like a toy car, maybe it's just me
isaidno Posted 5 February 2010 Posted 5 February 2010 I love that Renault have gone back to their 1970's colour scheme , very retro
lildave3 Posted 5 February 2010 Posted 5 February 2010 Virgin is probably the nicest car out of that lot.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 9 February 2010 Posted 9 February 2010 Looks promising! Lotus (early pictures)
Hitesh Posted 11 February 2010 Posted 11 February 2010 New Silverstone Track layout! Aimed to make it more exciting for over-taking (Now we've all heard that before!) Link This year's British Grand Prix is to be held on Silverstone's new "Arena" circuit layout, which is aimed at improving overtaking opportunities.Silverstone said on Thursday that it had been given approval to use the design by the sport's bosses. The new layout introduces a series of corners after Abbey corner before rejoining the old track at Brooklands. It lengthens the track by 0.472 miles to 3.666 miles and is expected to add about four seconds to lap times. Silverstone had already decided to use the new layout for the MotoGP race, for which it has won back the contract from Donington Park, but was awaiting approval from the F1 authorities. A statement said the new layout had "been designed with a view to creating three new overtaking opportunities". The track said it had invested £5m in the changes, which are scheduled to be completed in March. Silverstone is also attempting to improve the facilities for spectators by constructing elevated viewing banks and moving existing grandstands to bring the fans closer to the action. Silverstone Circuits managing director Richard Phillips said: "The new sections of circuit were initially brought in to comply with MotoGP safety regulations, but the 'Arena Complex' was always designed with both two and four-wheeled racing in mind. "We have been very careful, working closely with drivers and riders, to make sure we are improving and enhancing what Silverstone already has to offer - from a drivers, riders and spectators point of view. "Some will miss not seeing modern day F1 cars accelerating through Bridge, but we have to move with the times and continue looking at ways to improve the overall experience. "The new layout will bring an extra dimension to Silverstone, a new challenge for the drivers, and will enable fans to get closer to the action." The new track layout is the first stage of a series of improvements Silverstone is aiming to make after it ended uncertainty over the future of the British GP by winning in December a 17-year contract to host the race. The next stage is a new pit and paddock complex, to be located between Club and Abbey corners and which is scheduled to be completed by the summer of 2011. New garages, a race control building, media centre, hospitality and VIP spectator zones will be included.
Asha Posted 11 February 2010 Author Posted 11 February 2010 Can't believe they would be taking the Abbey-Farm-Bridge sequence out. That was always one of the most entertaining sequences for overtaking, and a favourite of mine. You normally see decent races at Silverstone. I can think of several tracks I'd alter for the purpose of overtaking before Silverstone.
dandannieldanok Posted 11 February 2010 Posted 11 February 2010 What a crock of shit that is. Why don't they leave the decent tracks like Silverstone alone and piss about with the nondescript tracks like Bahrain and Sepang that nobody cares about if the sport's bosses are bored.
Brainy Posted 11 February 2010 Posted 11 February 2010 they actually have messed around with the Bahrain layout.. this new one isn't that bad anyway.
The Stig Posted 13 February 2010 Posted 13 February 2010 The new Lotus I actually love it. Some amazing looking cars this year. Been a while since a proper British racing green F1 car.
Asha Posted 13 February 2010 Author Posted 13 February 2010 I actually love it. Some amazing looking cars this year. Been a while since a proper British racing green F1 car. It's green? Looks black/yellow to me.
Samilktray Posted 13 February 2010 Posted 13 February 2010 F1 cars are normally horrible looking, but that cheeky green number is very classy.
The Stig Posted 13 February 2010 Posted 13 February 2010 It's green? Looks black/yellow to me. It's racing green on my screen!
lildave3 Posted 13 February 2010 Posted 13 February 2010 It's green? Looks black/yellow to me. I think you need to make your screen brighter.
