Even Force India is faster than the Ferrari!

Re: Formula One
I feel bad for Alonzo. He's gotten a pretty raw deal from Ferrari. Right now Ferrari is behind both Williams and Force India, which is pretty sad considering the money spent and driving talent they have.

Re: Formula One
Suzuka seems to be a good time to post my list of why I think Formula One is loosing popularity:
- Driving in the rain. For God's sake, up to the 2000nds it was fine to drive in heavy rain, none of this pace car and red flag nonsense! Develop better rain tires and tell teams to have cars that behave decently in the rain! Have circuits invest in better drainage, too.
- Track limits. Perhaps drivers would be less inclined to leave track limits without those HUGE tarmac run-off areas
. Just use gravel or grass.
- "Causing a collision"-warning. This needs to die. Collisions can and will happen in racing. Now I can understand taking action against people who willfully run into people or willfully push them off the track, but hearing this every single time there is contact? Screw that.
- DRS. Videogame trick that also needs to die.
- And so does "drive-by-wire".
Well, looks like the race is "underway" again (for how long till the next red flag?
) Oh, Alonso just stopped along the track with no drive...

Re: Formula One
....and we have red flag #2, race will not be resumed, not because of the rain, but because of a crash requiring medical attention ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

Re: Formula One
speaking of F1, Niki lauda thinks modern F1 is crap
"We need to change Formula 1," says Lauda. "Aggressive cars, wide, big wheels, huge wings, 1,200 horsepower."

Ha, ha, yeah, I read an interview where he made the same points. Sometimes he comes over as a little crude, but I think he's right.DMAT wrote:speaking of F1, Niki lauda thinks modern F1 is crap

With regards to the second red flag that halted the race at Suzuka, it seems Jules Bianchi left the track where Sutil left it a lap earlier, except Bianchi didn't hit the barrier, but the recovery truck holding Sutil's car >_<
![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
He's said to be in a very serious condition. I just came across a picture of his car surrounded by marshals moments after the crash, and the whole top half of the car was ripped off

Re: Formula One

Re: Formula One
That's the weirdest thing..... before that point, they were supposedly under local double-waved yellows..... but you can obviously see the green flag in the video, which (you would think) would have made drivers speed up back to full racing conditions.... that to me is a bit of an error.scr8p wrote:were they seriously under green while those track workers were clearing up that previous wreck?

Re: Formula One
No, they were under waved double yellows, which means slow down and be prepared to stop. The green flags are at the marshal point right after the scene of the accident, to let the drivers know the next section is clear.scr8p wrote:were they seriously under green while those track workers were clearing up that previous wreck?

Could be just me, Terry, but I think the green flag was shown a bit too early...terry.sc wrote:No, they were under waved double yellows, which means slow down and be prepared to stop.
