BabyGM Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Anyone else counting the day's to the new Formula One season? Should be interesting with driver changes, 22 cars, and the new Pirelli's Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Yep looking forward to this myself. I still think LH made the wrong decision going to Mercedes Quote
krose Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Cant wait for it either. I think you right Anthony LH should have stayed with McLaren they are a more innovative team, but we will just have to wait and see how he fairs out with Mercedes. With a lot of speculation that Vettel will go to Ferrari at the end of this year and LH going to RB might have been a better move.. Quote
BabyGM Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 I agree aswell Mclaren are the team with which he's most likely to win, however there are good arguments either side because if it weren't for all the problems with the car he may have one the championship I think Alonso deserved to win though he is the best driver in the grid and extracted so much from a crap car, I also think the fact red bull put most towards Vettel is a factor of his success the other major teams equally favour each driver Quote
EPBrophy Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Can't wait for this. Mercedes will probably not do great next season but will be doing more the following season when the rules change again with regards to engines. McClaren are also losing money because they now have to pay Mercedes for their engines. Anyone ever been to a grand prix? I was at Spa two years ago and Monza last year. Hoping to go to Barcelona this season. Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Back in the day I loved F1 Carnage left right and center Fires breaking out in the pits The odd spectator slaughtered Now I think the drivers should be wearing yellow hats and jackets like our friends in H & S Quote

I have not been to any GPs before but me and a couple of the lads are thinking of going to Spa in August this year, flying into Dusseldorf and getting a campervan down to Spa. We are trying for tickets at Eau Rouge if possible but if not we are not sure which of the other corners would be good, any recommendations EPB? Quote

I'm not much into sport, but I've been re-watching The Prisoner and could get quite interested in taking up the ancient and modern oriental martial art of Kosho... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTqAfJYWe58 Quote

We are trying for tickets at Eau Rouge if possible but if not we are not sure which of the other corners would be good, any recommendations EPB? We just got general admission tickets and sat on the straight after Eau Rouge. If you get down towards the end and get there early, you can get a great seat, with a big screen in front of you and a good view of the chicane. It's also where the DRS zone is so plenty of overtakes. I'd recommend that. Always packed and a great atmosphere. We also got to see Hamilton crash into Kobayashi which resulted in big cheers from the majority of the crowd. Quote

BabyGM Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Well its that time of the year again and the new F1 season is almost upon us Looking back on the thread it looks like most of us were wrong about Lewis Hamilton This year he seems to hope will be his year, fingers crossed Quote
krose Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I was definitely wrong about LHs move this time last year. Its looking really promising for Merc and great to see Williams going strong too. McLaren took a big step backwards last year and from looking at the testing they wont do much better this year. Red Bulls reign looks to have come to an end, but we will have to wait and see. Quote
Warbonnet Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Think I'll just go sit on a roundabout for a couple of hours, least I'll get a bit of fresh air that way Quote
