Yeah, I prefer seperate threads. I think it leads to better discussion.

Iceman · 19-03-2010, 12:32 AM

grand so!!

Did you hear about the diffuser?

Iceman · 19-03-2010, 12:41 AM

Ahead of round two of the season in Australia, the FIA is expected to issue a clarification of the rules relating to rear diffusers. The regulations permit a hole in the diffuser to allow access for the engine starter motor. However, there are concerns that teams could be exploiting this 'loophole' to gain aerodynamic benefit, by adopting unusually shaped starter motors in order to justify particularly large and sculpted diffuser openings. Don't be surprised if many have been modified come Melbourne so as to appease the scrutineers.

James · 19-03-2010, 12:44 AM

Hadn't heard it. I see that story now.

Claymores · 19-03-2010, 12:46 AM

Verdict: I was robbed of a decent 10th

Iceman · 19-03-2010, 12:47 AM

I think they will ban mclarens aerodynamic thing on front wing aswell, it really is against rules....

If it's against rules, it shouldn't have passed the scrutineering @ Bahrain and therefore that race is void? Is that what you're saying? F1 is such a minefield it destroys the racing..............I wish I'd drawn TV ratings/sponsorship cash in the draw - surefire winner

Little Napoleon (Bernie Eccleston) takes the pish out the sport when he wakes on a Thursday and invents a new rule.

Iceman · 19-03-2010, 01:13 AM

basically yeah claymores you said all i need to say!!

Claymores · 19-03-2010, 02:03 AM

Don't get me wrong Eion - I like the rules which stop too many deaths through cars that are so fast as to be uncontollable........but wee Napoleon is just taking the pish to suit tyre manufacturers, TV ratings, sponsors, national politics, etc.

That's my view anyway

Iceman · 19-03-2010, 02:06 AM

I know im hoping the breakaway series will come in, in the next 2-3 years get back to racing and stop pleasing people....

Claymores · 19-03-2010, 02:14 AM

A point by my boy in Australia and Bernie will be my pal again

I'm head-to-head with the other 0s!!!!! LOL

Iceman · 20-03-2010, 12:58 AM

LOL - as Eion predicted some time ago ... 'button will never win a GP in his carreer again'. Something like that and fingers crossed Shoeee got that call correct!

Iceman · 21-03-2010, 01:28 PM

Hard to think that he died 16 years ago, wonder what would have become of him? also would Schumacher and the rest have stood a chance against him?

Youtube video

what a man.

30stone · 21-03-2010, 01:30 PM

Legend.

Saved the blokes life when no one else stopped to help.

Iceman · 21-03-2010, 01:33 PM

Yeah, he was such a great man outside of the car aswell as inside, such a tragic way to go.

Iceman · 21-03-2010, 06:36 PM

Ayrton Senna would have been 50 today. I think not a race goes by without someone in the paddock talking about Senna, the triple world champion who died in a crash at Imola in 1994, and his spirit is certainly still present throughout the series.

Now, of course, his nephew Bruno Senna has arrived in Formula One. I was thinking while interviewing Bruno in Bahrain during the press scrum after his first day in the F1 car, about the huge contrast to his uncle’s career in the series. That is to say, Bruno was some 12 or so seconds off the fastest time in his first practice session in his new Hispania car in what felt hardly just for such a name. But then, as I saw the way Senna spoke about his day, and the guts and simplicity with which he has accepted to start off in such difficult circumstances, I felt complete respect for him.

And I can only imagine how his uncle would be coaching him and helping and encouraging him. And instead of the seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher now racing, perhaps history would have been completely different. Schumacher is the first to say that he would not necessarily have won that first title, at least, had Senna not died on May 1, 1994, at Imola in a Williams that would by the end of the season have regained much of its former strength.
