It's the entry, not the team itself - all those disappointed potential franchise holders, there's a market out there. That's why Schnaider bought in in the first place, and why Bernie said he was guilty about not telling him about the day to day run…
No, it's not to do whether he should have or could have won or not, it's the manifold adverse impacts of being unfairly penalised. Who can tell the exact role that played in the mechanical failure? But surely, most likely, something?
The usual stor…
Webber and Kovalainen would make a very strong line up at Renault for '07. If the Kimster's off to Ferrari, as predicted, then what would be a better option? Fisico, Trulli, Ralfie, DC, Moantoya, MadMassa, all had their chances. Heidfeld is bought u…
You're pretty much screwed in the UK without a car these days, the public transport's crap. But it's not too far out of London - hour and a half perhaps? Nothing by your standards.
I will be there both days, but I'll be coming in from the North. I …
Ah, Schumi....talent to throw away, and no understanding of the meaning or philosophy of sport whatsoever. And the usual lies afterwards too. What a worthless worm!
Neil, snap out of it, man! New Ferrari are no more Italian than the other grandees …
Schumachjer the "Best driver F1 ever had"? Fastest, perhaps, but there's more to the thing than that. He makes too many scrappy mistakes, is at best a mediocre wheel to wheel racer, and scores 0/10 for sportsmanship (call me old fashioned, but...). …
It's never about the numbers, this sport, it's about the image you have when you here the name. Schumacher? To me, he is driving into Hill at Adelaide '94. Senna? Lap one Donington Park, '93. What is the Portuguese for "Der Regenmeister"?
Schnaider's strategy is already proved right - an F1 franchise is an in-demand commodity again. Shame for him he believed Bernie about what it would cost him to run the thing until a buyer came along - he should have talked to Stoddart.
Yes, I was. But defeat is only when you stop fighting, and Minardi hasn't stopped fighting, has he?
Having the team is what is going to keep Forzaminardi going. It is the thing that sets us apart from all the other ex teams. Alain Prost is still in…
This Rocha guy seems pretty good- he did OK last year when he had the opportunity. I hope they go for running a 3rd car once Roldan is back.
Now for back to back victories!
Back to the important stuff...how do we rate Cacares, and who on earth is this TukaRocha guy? Should Rodriguez be splitting his energies? 3 cars a good plan? Are any of the junior teams throwing up good driver prospects? Are we going to win? Who are…
Stoddart hasn't got the resources behind him, just as he hadn't over the last 5 years. He can send in an entry form, but that is a long way from getting a viable operation up and running, let alone making it successful. You've got to admire the guy'…
I didn't see anything out of order in the comment. With news of a new car, I was starting to get used to becoming an STR fan, but no. It's now clear that our suspicions of RedBull were totally correct. They have bought the entry - the team and staff…
Stoddart has said himself since he sold up that having nearly gone out of business in '02 and '03, and the fighting fund talk collapsed in early 2003, his objective then became to finish last as cheaply as possible.
1) De Cesaris out without enough fuel to finish the race, gets into top six, Motori Moderni burns up at shock of going so fast, Brazil '86
2) Lauda and Hunt, '76.
3) Silverstone '89 - unbelievable to watch, despair and triumph in the same day, PLM…
They want Michelins, but there's no point running the PS05 on them. I get the feeling the tyre choice is waiting for the green light to run the RBR1 - which I hope they don't get, of course, because using an off the peg car would be the end of F1 as…
It is certainly the right thing to do - continue, but not to slavishly treat the new owners to our support, exactly right.
I foresee a mighty debate over months and years as to whether or not this new MinardiSTR entity is or is not the true heir to…
We might just be OK, if GCM stays, and if the cars continue to be truly Made In Faenza. When Rumi bought Osella Squadra Corse and renamed it Fondmetal F1, to me it was still Osella, in spirit at least. Many will feel the same about Minardi, even if …
Look, sod what Mateschitz does, we should just call it Squadra Minardi Toro Rosso. At the very least we'll have the satisfaction of knowing that we remember the glorious history.
It might catch on...get a few commentators using it.....bit of time..…
