This was mandated by the FIA this season. While the name doesn’t have to be on the shark fin, it does have to be a certain size and be visible. You’re right though, it does make identifying the driver easier from all angles.

They do! What you posted is a paint scheme that’s not attributed to a driver. Most likely when they revealed the car design before the season started.

Just the other day I passed a car on the interstate and moved in front of him only to find that he was driving with high beams on and was now blinding me in my mirrors. I did my due diligence and blinked my lights off then back on again, and to my amazement he got the hint and turned off his high beams! Thank you,…

I really did not like the whole driver introduction thing. I think a lot of the reason I enjoy watching F1 is because it is not overly Americanized, overly dramatized, and overly produced. I want to watch good racing with good technology, the best talent, and the best tracks. I don’t want to spend time watching the…

I saw it as well. I’m pretty sure it was digital, just like the Heineken adverts around the track. A marketing stunt maybe? Promoting ... Texas? If so, I disapprove almost as much as I disapprove of the whole driver introduction mess. Almost.

If I were a neighbor and this was fired up down the block, I would run out and cheer with them. Sounds like a good time.

You know, I never even noticed the took it away until I saw you mention this. It was the only punting stat that I thought mattered as a kid, we used to go out in my back yard and have contests to see who could get the longest hang-time, which never ended in fights about how to time it and how long someone’s actual…

Le Monde reports it’s the first *human* bullfighting death in France since 1921.

Having only watched the gif at the top of the page, the only real question here is: “Where the hell did that ref come from?”

It’s been a couple years since I’ve been to a MotoGP race, but it was a lot of fun. There are a lot of good locations at COTA to be amazed at how far those guys lean over in the corners. And a lot of good locations for pictures. :)

This whole system and its explanation sounds like it comes straight out of a story-time section of a MGS game.

I’m sorry, but this is the best colored one there.

I saw that car in the paddock area at COTA a couple years ago. Looked really nice in person.

I assumed it was a regulation of some sort related to the brightness of the DRLs. All of this still doesn’t mean that I am going to stop getting angry every time I see a running light turn off while driving down the road. To me it is VERY distracting and I spend more time trying to figure out if the car coming at me…

Gives a new meaning to the term ‘mobile chicane’

ebuyusa.com seems to be a shady retailer at best. Many reports of bad business practices. I have not attempted to buy anything from them even though they do advertise great deals. Sometimes if the price is too good to be true, it’s not true.

+1 for pictures of then-new 2010 Lancer GTS’s with paper plates that are still owned and driven by their original owners!

I am torn. One hand Bottas is my favorite driver and I would love to see him finally get an opportunity to drive a top-tier car. On the other hand, I like Williams and would hate to see them continue to lose ground due to inexperience behind the wheel.

There are lots of little details buried in this video. I’m not entirely sure why it was created, but it sure was done well.

Holy crap!!!
