Gibot123 16 Report post Posted September 7, 2013 Well that qually didn't go quite how I thought . Think the best thing I heard was Alonso on the radio link saying about Massa to the team " he's going to fast " clever tactic to try the tow but a little sad that's the best they could manage. Sounded like Lewis is suffering again from Nicole withdrawal . Always sad to see someone of his quality beating themselves up in the public glare . I hope he can get himself together for the race tomorrow. Ricardo has and the Torro Rosso cars have been the surprise . Hats off to them . Di Resta didn't seem too happy either . Quite a lot of rather disappointed peeps today should make for an interesting start into the first corner though tomorrow . Looking forward to it. Think Alonso and Hamilton will be the ones to watch , along with Ricardo . Doesn't look like Kimi is in the running but we will see he always puts in a spirited drive .

Anjenha 44 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 A magnificant race - action packed as it usually is. Driver of the day for me was Fernando.....9th to 2nd some achievement on a track like Spa. So pleased the Greenpeace protesters who parachuted in for the occasion didn't ruin things. (You may not know what I'm on about if you don't have Sky!) Yes, me too! Loved the fact that they had to use a blinking plane to go and complain about fuel usage!! Idiots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

divadiva 15 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) The Monza race didn't disappont - a pleasing result for Ferrari P2 and 4 at their home race but Vettel looks to be running away with the WDC which they're only too aware of. F138 looking competitive, at least, as it did in Spa. Some critised Ferrari leaving Alonso out too long before pitstop but there's no guarantee he'd have won anyway, although both Vettel and Webber had gearbox issues (hence Webber couldn't overtake Alo). The shouts of 'Alonso' from the Tifosi were something else....no other fans in the world get behind their driver/team quite like they do. They also boo (Vettel in this case) like no other fans. Lewis drove a blinding race.....edge of the seat stuff to move up like he did after not qualifying. Massa himself announced last night he would not be at Ferrari next season and Kimi to Ferrari was finally officially confirmed by Ferrari today.....at last. Two strong drivers/personalities together (which could prove v. interesting!) So excited for next season. Edited September 11, 2013 by divadiva Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9d 108 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 I feel for Massa, he has never really been the same after his accident, there were odd flashes of his old self, couple that with Alonso as a team mate and his days were always numbered. I hope he gets a drive for next year. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
divadiva 15 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 Think he'll got to Lotus, Sauber or possibly Mclaren. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 29 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 I think Massa should take a leaf out of Webbers book and move onto GT racing, let someone up and coming have a shot at F1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
divadiva 15 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 He's Lotus's first choice apparently. I'd like to see him remain in F1 tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clem Fandango 71 Report post Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I used to have a pair of f1 cars for my scalelextric. One was black and gold think it might have been JPS and the other was a white martini one That was when I was off of the seventies Edited March 8, 2014 by Holyman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted_pr 16 Report post Posted March 9, 2014 I think I had the same set (for my birthday in 1979). Or it might have been Parmalat sponsored, can't remember? I later had an Escort Mk2, which used to beat my mate's Saudia Williams - highly realistic obviously! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonNorin 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 Looks like Red Bull is about to strike a deal with Auidi after it becomes kind of frustrated with Renault's change to hybrid engine. According to Helmut Marko, Red Bulls driver development programe head, unless Audi steps in, they may be out if they won't be having a competitive engine.
