Red Bull are just that little bit better then the rest.

Lol, because the outright dominance of Ferrari in the early to mid 2000 years was so long ago....

Its amazing how many old (& current) R/C racers are now working in full size motorsport.... especially in this area of the UK, but I guess it makes sense as its such a great intoduction for car-mad youngsters into the world of motorsport, currently at our club we have guys who work for Mercedes F1, Ray Mallock Racing (of Cavalier BTCC fame) & Illmor race engines

Did not root for Ferrari then! I don't like when any team just wins all the time (except AE! ). I like close racing with lot's of passing, I think we all do! Not the pole whores that lead from start to finish! Yes this season was much better, with 4 teams able to win at any time. Even Force India had a chance in Brazil!

For Ferrari fan.
Ferrari appealed against the result of Sunday Brazilian Grand Prix. They claimed Vettel committed an illegal maneuver overtaking " Jean-Eric Vergne of Torro Rosso " which is clearly not allowed.
If Ferrari successfully appeal, Vettel drop to 8 place and would mean Alonzo would be word champion.

They pulled that during the first Safety car, it was a card worth playing as far as the FIA goes but a damn desperate move.

Hulkenburger.............44sec lead................ who?????

You know!!!! The big, green, muscular, sandwich! Hulkenberg! Ok! That's a little lame! Sorry!!!

Sebastian Bourdais old Indy car crew chief used to race with us, and an Ilmor engineer from Detroit shows up at a lot of the big races...not to mention the multitudes of ex dirt oval and motocross guys at any track. It's a little less dangerous than the real thing.

I went to the LA Auto show and saw this car there and I thought of this thread... Sorry for my crappy pics!

Awesome pics, regardless of quality. I follow F1, try not to miss a race. I am in it for the racing.

The outcome this year was what we all kind of thought would happen, lets hope next year will bring some change and some more great racing action.
