Most F1 drivers have proven to be dirty. I would not say hes any worse than some of these guys.

Cant find the video... Hamilton into turn one Fuji 2008 was a joke too

Carroll Smith said that if winning grand prix drivers weren't driving cars, they would make ace fighter pilots. You don't win F1 titles by being the Virgin Mary (unless you have it gifted to you via far superior equipment like Button).

[quickervicar]

But if you have the skills to be World Champion (as Schumi certainly does), why stage a "wreck" during qualifying?

There is a big difference between getting dicey on the track & being dirty. Most of those clips are just 2 drivers going at each other & getting frustrated. But I guarantee you that if someone like Buemi or even Kubica pulled a typical Schumacher chop-block on a start that they would be visited by the stewards post-race.

Jose Maria Lopez FINALLY confirmed as USF1 pilot. That only took forever, if that is how long it takes to go from rumor to confirmation it will be June before we know the next driver lol.

Ha, a friend of mine near Daytona Beach met Rubens Barrichello the other evening at a shifter kart course he frequents. Apparently Rubens was out there training in a 125cc kart and his eight-year-old kid was out there in a 6HP 4-stroke. He didn't realize Rubens' winter home was only a few miles away from where he lives.



Oh, Rubens' car of choice? An ML63 AMG with a bashed in right rear corner. Priceless.

Oh, his wife's car of choice? An ML63 AMG with a bashed in right rear corner.

I like it.

[quickervicar]

So do I.

McLaren launch is live: http://carlaunch.mclaren.com/

[Hick]

the new cars look huge!

[NC325iC]

i would hardly say huge

[ldsbeaker]

Definitely longer from the headrest area to the engine. Carrying all that fuel should be interesting... Especially after qualifying with light/no fuel.

Piero Ferrari added: "I expect a Ferrari worthy of the title, unless someone interprets the rules differently."

What a well mannered way to put it. :p

[quickervicar]

^^Exactly. Wonder what rule changes they will allow this year?

[Hick]

Well, theres a ban on Double Diffusers for 2011, so let them have their fun!

[naplesE30]

I have not heard this one. In fact I have read that teams are now building triple diffusers... I will see if I can find out where I read that. I think last year was a complete mockery of the rules...... The only teams that could afford to interpret the rules the way they did were teams with nothing to lose if they were dq'd like a small brawn and redbull team. The larger factory teams could never take the risk of having their cars dq'd because of rules violations..... The apperant lack of consistancy of rules and stewards in F1 can be vey fustrating.

I also wish F1 would get rid of all these shitty ass street circuts and go back to the traditional venues. I think a real track has to have undulations and sweeping off camber curves which none of the new tracks have.

Well, theres a ban on Double Diffusers for 2011, so let them have their fun!
