You lucky sods get F1 free to air, us poor lackies in the colonies have to get by Sky, which we can't afford

Even though I dislike the rear wing, it is really interesting to see such wildly different aero on the cars..

BMW with the Walrus snout (LOL), and Redbull with the ant eater nose way up high in the air (fragile, but i suppose all f1 cars are fragile!) it's just fantastic to see, and will be great to see how they come out on race day.

Tetsting results I heard were Toyota fastest at Baharain and Red Bull fastest somewhere else?

Hopefully it'll shake up the big boys

I have a few F1 history books, and I just love checking out the various ideas. At one stage in the early 80's (I think) the fad was to run NO front wings at all!! I got a pic where the entire grid, Mclarens and all, are bereft of front downforce, like, what were they thinking?

My favourite unsuccesful team has to be Copersucar team.

And fav pic is one where the entire grid is blaring down the start straight and there are two cars (one a Benneton) perfectly perpendicular to the direction they are skidding. It looks like they've been parked there, but you know they're all going 100's of km/hr, if only I could find it to show you guys, but it seems so preposterous to look at it..

Sorry for the long post, I love the topic/s, please, keep on!

Hamilton fastest in Spain testing


Hamilton was driving the MP4-24 for just the second time in Jerez


World champion Lewis Hamilton set the pace for McLaren as Formula One's teams continued pre-season testing at the Jerez circuit in Spain.
The MP4-24 was the fastest of the 2009 specification cars as Hamilton completed 93 laps, setting a fastest time of one minute 20.737 seconds.
"I'm very encouraged by what I felt," said Hamilton. "The car feels strong, very similar to last year's car."
Meanwhile, Ferrari's test in Bahrain was halted by a sandstorm. In Jerez, Hamilton was followed closely by new Red Bull recruit Sebastian Vettel, who was just one thousandth of a second behind the world champion in the RB5, which was unveiled on Monday. Williams' Kazuki Nakajima was just 0.161 secs down on Hamilton, with Renault's Fernando Alonso, who notched up 133 laps, just over four tenths of a second further back

This is looking really good for the spectators at last the cars seem to be almost evenly matched

well, I`m not really believng anything McLaren is doing right now....2008 wing on the car, then 2009, then a few days ago just before the day ends, just to post a grest laptime again the 2008 wing....I hope they struggle like hell!!! don`t get me wrong, I used to like McLaren, before they joined ventures with Mercedes.... Just hope the new regulations turn everything upside down!...and let us know what "wunderkind" (german) Hamilton can do in a "underdog-car"....and by the way, the current top racer alonso... I know some of you may not like him, in my opinion still the best overall today, let`s get it on! 3 (!!!) weeks to go, or in students terms (my terms) 2 exams to go!......
