    Ferrari man here. Can't stand hamilton or Mclaren. Hoping for a big year for Di resta.

    Interesting season coming up. Ferrari and Mclaren can't afford a slow start to the season or red bull will run away with it again. Expect much more from Mercedes and Lotus Renault this year.

    Hope kubica would be back soon but the leg break on his already badly injured leg makes me fear he's done with F1. Hope not.

    True I enjoyed their banter. Brundle is actually Coulthard's agent :87:

    Lotus have developed a new suspension system that stops the front end dipping under heavy braking thus improving braking stability. Since it's completely mechanical it's completely legal to the FIA so all the other teams willl need to follow suit now.

    They sure are. I think the FIA just ban things for fun. Has gotten worse since Max Mosley left, he spent so much time being checked for lice and spanked by faux * hookers he never had the time to look at suspension designs.

    Yupp. For some reason the team that were Lotus last season owned the name Lotus but the actual Lotus were associated with Renault but couldn't just use the name Lotus so had to be Lotus Renault. Now last season's Lotus have agreed to become Caterham and let last years Lotus Renault be Lotus. :97: I need a lie down.

    Agree. But then the Caterham Platypus was modelled after a Fiat Multipla!

    New Macca looks interesting - they (McLaren) say they might have some things on there that could be illegal, so keep your ears/eyes peeled for more FIA imposed bans!


    Love the Sig btw mate :50:

    Think it's 7 February at Jerez.

    Cheers, it was the work of Paul67 :50:

    The FIA's excuses for banning everything reminds me of how birds use any excuse not to give a gammy :56:

    Ferrari's 2012 car unveil has been cancelled because of snow in Maranello. Will be an internet only unveil now.
