You get all the torque at once, would provide some entertainment if given difficult conditions.

Another driver, except Webber :p

Sure, it was probably the better car. But it takes a great driver to extract the maximum from it.

It does.

Meanwhile, it's nearly Christmas and there's plenty of F1 products to buy. I even injected some wry humour into this

Well I was shopping at Paris yesterday and decided to go to the event later on. Surprised that they decided to go with Electric Kartings, no more engine sound could be heard.

And I saw an advert about a new Electric Formula series: Formula C !!! 8O http://www.formulec.org/en/index.html

We don't want that...


I will say this much, I would much rather have a seperate series for these 'cars' than to have this sort of technology imported into Formula 1. KERS is fine if gimmicky, running through the pits on an electric motor is borderline acceptable, anything more than that is sacrosanct.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Sutil had the same car as Paul and scored more points.

Who said that a small engine can't sound good? The BRM V16 was only 1,5 litre engine. Sound is just awesome.

Lol. Kimi Raikkonen fell off his snowmobile during a race today and fell on his left hand, which caused a injury.



I f*cking new that this would happen!

Thankfully he's ok, just bruises, he can drive.
