Just got my tickets for F1 Singapore. They just added Justin Biebber which I really could not care about to the concert set, but clearly Singapore is going to be loud.

I still cant find my race videos from 2011. damn...

Cool.

Montreal and Quebec is beautiful this time of year. We may make it back there next year and see the race...conflicts with work schedule every year.

Wonder what this weeks F1 controversy will be? Cheers, enjoy!

Me too. How about those 4 wheels airborne scraping the under tray at the since removed curbing during practice?

Good thing those were rethought and removed before Quali.

And the Merc 600 mile Secret Tire Test by Pirelli is now officially called "A Scandal"...F1 - we know drama.

about that test. something does not add up. the engines are good for 3 race distance. So they just lost an engine for the year? any pictures of proof about the car being an actual F1 2013 spec car?
Would not surprise me if they tested a 2013 car but not of F1 spec.
Maybe a hybrid, something like a LeMans prototype with the suspension geometry of an F1 car. hmmmmm a full bodied F1 car.
just a thought

IIRC Steve Machete or Will Buxton during Montreal Practice sessions reported the details of the "test"...MBwas noticed by other teams to seemingly take an extended time to knock down their gear, pack up post race Barcelona...and it was Pirelli who dictated the 2013 Spec car as Nico stated he was tired of being asked about. I'll have to look back over the practice recordings to get exact info "Ver Botten"

Wonder if the "test car" was actually a 2014 Spec Turbo V6?!!!! What?!!!

Patrick Your observations, speculations, and suggestions to me are...



Edit: And of course, this this and this!
