I want all four tires off the ground at the same time, in the rain! I am no joking. I want a track surface (tires) which makes the car slide no matter what the driver does.
As for halo and safety, you must understand that the FIA is a body which has as its core mission safety. Its noble and its good, but the FIA has…

I think I prefer the more upright seating position of the Rolls...

What a strange video. The Americans, as in Boeing, pulled out because they were better capitalists than the Europeans and Russians. Whats with the hate America BS? Boeing felt they could never make a profit measuring cost to develop and the amount of sales that were practical to predict. The design which Boeing was…

One of the big problems with this halo thing is that it has the aesthetic of a 1950 steel mill, in an era where fantastic flowing lines make an F1 car look alive. I could do with a lot less aero, but this halo thing is visually confrontational on a car that flows in so many directions at once. If F1 is going to do…

Rooster tail thing is now illegal.

I’m a McLaren fan but I fail to see what Zak Brown has brought to the team, other than this thing. If Ron Dennis were still at McLaren he too would have dumped Honda, so, I’m looking for forward movement and what ever that unique thing that Brown has to offer.

Let it be known! Capitalism began (was invented) in East Africa 320,000 years ago. The Africans of the time also just threw in the concept of value added by creating finished obsidian blades and trading that rather than just selling the raw material. GENIUS!

Yes we see but a sliver of a person even without the Halo, but now we get an even smaller sliver, more is better even if its still a little to little.

My budget numbers came from many many news reports including ones on this web site.

Because they were so all alone, Ferrari had more money than any team and they spent it, because they were all alone they hired the best British designers money could buy, because they were oh so all along they hired the best drivers money could buy, because they was all so terribly all alone they were missing out on…

Actually, I was saying even if you had a full face visor the halo would not let us see the face. Its a comment against the halo. This issue is not going to be solved within F1 it will be solved through competition with other race series. I predict all the BS that Jean Todt and the FIA as well as Max Mosley before have…

I kind of agree, if Amazon drops them others will pick them up. They are a truly valuable property, there are just a few of those.

Doing a show in 4k vs HD with ten episodes per season adds about $750,000 or so to the budget, its really not that much. Keep in mind, the reported budget for this show over three years is something like 153 million dollars, 4k costs mean nothing. This $750,000 number accounts for three cameras shooting 5 hours of…

I thought the show they did that was not scripted was great, because it was not scripted.

If the TG folks think they are dead meat after season 3 I say they shoot the whole of season 3 with iPhones in 4K no less. It would be like the fabled 6th album, the one the band thought was covered by the live 2 disk LP. So they go into the recording studio, spend a few hours making noise, record it all, release it…

I’ll take your bate…
I have a motorcycle helmet that has a large full face visor, it seems to me we could get closer to that in F1, but who cares, with this halo you still couldn’t see their faces.

Right now things are at there maximum complexity, this creates many odd and confusing situations, so its hard to really tell whats happening IN TESTING. As a McLaren fan we can’t let them off with simple excuses, we need more complex excuses. The truth is McLaren is now running an engine which two other teams are…

Holy shit! Does Univision still show F1 races? I don’t care one bit what the drivers think about the Halo, I am a fan and I care what we fans think. The halo is a significant visual disruption to connecting to the driver. The game is up, the fan is out.
You do realize that it is in the team and drivers interest to…

I will engage you in your circular argument. Open wheel is more than about wheels, it means open cockpit so you can see the driver, this thing changes that. The connection with the driver will be diminished simply by cutting off our view of them. Open wheel has always had a quality of danger and risk, this is what…

The 2017 Ferrari had lots of James Allison DNA all over it, but they fired him 1 1/2 years into the development of it, so, they only got part of his genius. Mid year 2017 Ferrari could not keep up the development on a car someone else designed, they didn’t fully understand it. This year they have brought forward some…
