a bit of drama too in catalunya

when was the last time a victory was lost on the last lap?

What? Developing shitty software but making huge profits?

Sounds good tbh, where do I sign?

a bit of drama too in catalunya

I'm not really a hater hater but I'm no fan of MS either. Although I love the X360 and work on a Win7 PC and a Win8 lappy.

I did find it funny that in their add they claim their cloud is the difference between winning and losing and they couldn't pick a much worse team atm for their add.

With MS' history and the current Lotus situation it explains a lot

They use Maldonado and Grosjean because THEY CRASH ALOT, jajajajajaja. get it?!?

Have to admit, I cried that day.

When was the last time we had a championship where the clear 2 fastest cars have been teammates, and have been really close to each other? I mean with a clear gap to the next best runner? Webber never really got to Vettel, Massa never got close to Raikkonen in 2007, Fisi never got close to Alonso, Barrichello never got close to Schumacher. Only scenario I can think of is Williams 1997.

Williams 1997 and 1996 I guess yeah. Other than that there's Coulthard once or twice a year, but that's it.

Has anyone actually looked into whether implementing this system in the past would have changed anything? If we would have different champions?

Double points for final race would have changed three World Champions in 20 years

However, despite the change representing an unprecedented step for F1, since 1991 - the first year when all a driver's results in a season counted towards the Drivers' Championship - only the 2012, 2008 and 2003 championship fights would have had different outcomes had the points for the concluding round been doubled.

The most recent of those revisions would have resulted in Fernando Alonso and not reigning quadruple World Champion Sebastian Vettel clinching the crown in 2012. The Spaniard, who went into the Brazil finale 13 points down on his Red Bull rival, would have won the title by 296 points to 289 owing to the fact his second place finish in the race would have been worth 36 points as opposed to the normal 18, while Vettel would have only collected 16 points for sixth.

F1's other dramatic title decider of recent time, when Lewis Hamilton effectively clinched the crown on the final corner of the 2008 Brazilian GP, would also have had a different outcome with Felipe Massa, the day's race winner, picking up a bumper 20 points to beat his rival by five points.

Kimi Raikkonen, meanwhile, would now theoretically be a two-times World Champion and Michael Schumacher only a six-times champion as their 2003 Japan decider would have gone the Finn's way by five points instead of the German's by two.
