Actually I was reading F1 news on a French website because sometimes they have good news regarding Lotus and Renault. A journalist wrote the story about Stepney's death using this title: "The man who betrayed Ferrari is killed" WTF? :roll::

Edit: They changed the title.

Very sad news. Such a shame Spygate overshadowed such a successful career.

That headline was poor...

A bit of talking about Ross Brawn visiting Ferrari, Rumors begins to suggest he is going to return to Ferrari, Brawn on that " I was with a group of friends as a part of a tour of Italy, no more than that! "

Not sure about that but some reports are saying that Mclaren could try the Lotus-style double nose in Spain, reports from Italy say that this solution has been in the wind tunnel at Woking for some time .

Cool, but I can't help but feel that this F1 safety theme is being overdone. I mean from the trailer, it sounds very similar to '1' and other documentaries produced a while ago. And '33 days, born to be wild' what's that all about?

Nevertheless, should be good for the sport and its popularity...

A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor.

That megaphone thing is absolute JUNK. And goes hand in hand with those despicable new noses...

Discussing what to do to improve Ferrari on the F1 Show. Rob Smedley is asked "what would you do if you were still at Ferrari?" "I'd do what I did 6 months ago." :lol:

I miss the old F1 too. I'm starting to watch more and more old races, and I'm beginning to sit on the fence with today's F1. They should keep the new engines, but increase rev limit and give the engineers more freedom in the aero department.

F1 cars have never been slow around corners as they are today, and watching that Spa vid is eye-opening. Everytime they slow it down they say its for safety reasons, but the last fatality we had was 20 years ago, and the early 2000s were the fastest F1 cars ever made!

Yes and the early 2000s were the dullest period in F1 history. I miss nothing of that period.
