Thats why some of F1 fans prefers the F1 of yesteryear

okay. lets. anybody spotted that Toyota has adopted Ferrari wheel cover design at Interlagos?

LOL... truly amazed at what ferrari fan can say, eh miss bryant

I remember the twin towers first used by Jordan at that time. Next race, Ferrari copied it

This is how F1 cars look alike. Top designer doesnt need other team spec to try another team aerodynamics setups, they can just built one, run it and see if they can gain any advantages from it.

bash you with LOL and miss bryant? no lar If i simply bash you, i wouldnt have given the twin towers example

not twin towers on the nose cone, on the side pods

bryant & hornet :

Dont you guys wonder why F1 cars look alike? like i said before it is normal in F1 when other teams copies/imitate other teams design. If not F1 will be front engine and tubular cars.

In the fifties, F1 cars is front engine. The one one team change(i forgot which team) to rear mounting and won races, then other teams follow suit.

Same with the F1 turbo era, most teams at the time reluctant to use turbo because of the lag, but when Williams gained complete domination with Turbo F1 cars, others follow suit. Later FIA ban the turbos (damn i miss the sound of the cars)

Its the same with automatic gearing, active suspension, etc etc.

The most recent example that i can give you is the exhaust chimney on the sidepods introduced by Mclaren and the double winglets by Renault.

You see, the aero peeps at F1 teams doesnt need diagram to imitate other teams design. Just a a pic on the newspaper will do.

an example : Team A introduced a new aero component.

Team B, C saw it and reproduced the part and do the testings. Team B saw the introduction of Team A aero component on their car have not gain them any advantages. Team C from their testing found that Team A aero component incorporated into their overall aero package gained significant advantage and decided to use it on the race track.

Every team does this, including my beloved team Mclaren

edit : grammar mistake

he he he... i love LIFE tomato ketchup

acougan : its either a spy or a whistle blower from inside the teams

yes, like you said. Unfortunately for you TV2 take the ITV feed. I used to mute my TV when i watched Star sport. Well there's a lot of alternative :

i. Starsports
ii. Starsports Chinese commentary team
iii. SpeedTV

For me, i've gain a lot of F1 knowledge from watching ITV coverage.

he he he... sometimes its the easiest solution No more headache listening to steve slater btw, SpeedTV commentary is NASCAR like

i wonder if eurosport have any F1 coverage?

oit! at least put an avatar lar!

owh, for god sake can we drop the brits topic? getting old lar already. To be fair to them, if you go to international boards, not all brits support lewis.

Remember the big screen at the Madrid stadium last year to follow Alonso Brazil's race?

Lets talk F1 here. Maybe you guys can go open a special topic on that.

Added on October 24, 2007, 9:33 amhmm.. i dont quite get what you're trying to say there

and when you say Ferrari had a bad car for only 1 year, do you mean during Schumi era or the whole Ferrari F1 history?

To tell you the truth, i dont like Schumi. But the guy is a workaholic. He's the first man to arrive at Ferrari HQ and went home at 11 pm. Everyday. During off season.

I despise him but at the same time respect him

well, there never be equality in term of cars performance in F1. if you want it, then watch A1 instead

iinm 1985 is in the 20th Century rite? IMO, Ferrari dont have a bad car in 05, if not Schumi wont be finishing 3rd.

yeah, Ferrari in Schumi era is always if not fast but a reliable car. Lets recap 05 :

In australia, Schumi retired after colided with Hedfield.
in bahrain, schumi retired with technical problem.
In spain, he retired with tyre problem.
in turkey, he retired after colided with Webber.
In spa, sato took him out

i thot it was 3 : Rosberg, hedfield and kubica. who's the other driver?

yeah seeking clarification, so next time the same thing happen, the teams will expect the FIA to act the same way.

you're spot on engine is one part of the equation of an F1 car.

As for newer team :

Toyota- a new team
Redbull << Jaguar << Stewart
Torro Rosso << Minardi
Force India << Spyker << Midland F1 << Jordan
