Re: Ugliest Cars
god, that Ligier is hideous the March 711 with that weird nose was awful too The tea-tray front wing? Didn't look that bad to be honest (the high wings of the late 60's looked worse) One of the ugliest cars is the BMW F1.09. I've grown used to the weird wings of the current F1 cars and now I don't ...

Re: The most impressive crash ever
Well I take "impressive" as in lucky escapes...Peter Dumbreck's flight in Le Mans 99 and that Zandvoort 2004 accident that completely tore off the entire bodywork off the car, lucky man.
Kubica's and Mark Webber's crashes were amazing to watch, and I say amazing because they got out of it uninjured.

Re: Qantas Australian Grand Prix 2011
Who will take pole and the win? Marky's going to take over the weekend, I have a feeling about that. Will the Pirelli tyres be as bad as everyone claims? Well yes, but it was the teams that brought it on themselves given that they asked for less tyre resistance. Pirelli have gone too far on that req...

I'm actually surprised that Vettel's title win isn't a part of the poll

Re: Best ever engine note/sound
The 3.5 litre naturally aspirated era was the best in engine notes, because it was in the early 90's that we could see a great variety of sounds in a F1 race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLjrC_wDNwc&feature=related - the Ford/Cosworth V8. It lasted pretty long in F1, and was one of the final V8's...

Re: The 2010 Memorial Thread
That's another unavoidable event. The Isle of Man TT is very popular but it's too dangerous to occur without any injury if not any fatality.

Re: 2010 Gran Premio de España
Ferrari are removing the controversial barcode from their cars from this race Why was it controversial? I never liked it though. The white stripes looked better they used in 2007. Personally, I quite like the 2005-2006 censoring scheme...But honestly, why would people cry about little things such a...

nah...just two more users of the rosso corsa, a.k.a Italian Racing Red. It was just keeping with tradition, I guess.ERNESTOABREU wrote:Red cars were my favourites, but Dallara and Life

Re: Anyone remember Life Team Racing from the 1990 season?
The car was too low to generate downforce...the rollbar/airbox is too thin, so the driver isn't really protected nor the engine cooled, sidepods are also low and they end before the back, so there is no aerodynamic flow going to the rear wing. There are so many flaws in the car's shape that are clea...

Re: Anyone remember Life Team Racing from the 1990 season?
I think that the only reason why it was restored was for it to be shown as a reminder to up-and-coming single-seater designers about what happens when you leave your work to have fun with something (or someone) else.

Re: Most beautiful car in F1 History
Very tough choice. For me the best looking cars were from the 90's and also from 2009 excluding the snow plough devices.
Between my choices are the Ferrari 412, Williams FW13-16, Simtek S941, Pacific PR02, Renault R25, McLaren MP4/8, Renault R30, McLaren MP4/12.

Re: Who will be the 2010 Champion + Top 10 Predictions
To be honest, I don't know who might come out on top...last year I put my money on Massa and it happened what happened...I'm not sure about this, but I think this year is either Massa's or Alonso's.

Re: Image of F1 in your country
F1 here in Madeira isn't talked much, because the only forms of motorsport here are rallying and karting. Only those bothered about knowing every category of motorsport or just zapping through the channels on TV know what F1 is, and very few of the motorsports lovers don't know the history of F1, no...

Senna winning at Interlagos for the amazing part, Alonso going kamikaze on Massa at Monza for the insane part.

USF1 or Campos making it to the grid and with proper F1 cars would be an amazing thing already.
