More info on the Pirelli tires!
Colour-coded tyre compounds for 2011
Red tyre markings will used on the super-soft compound © Pirelli
Pirelli is planning to colour code its various tyre compounds this season to help spectators understand the teams' strategy.
In 2007 the FIA ordered Bridgestone to differentiate between its 'hard' and 'soft' options at races and the Japanese manufacturer obliged by painting a white stripe in one of the grooves. When slicks returned in 2009 the soft Bridgestones featured a green circle on the sidewall, but it was not always obvious on TV pictures.
Stories from Italy suggest that Pirelli will go one step further and change the colour of the writing on the tyre wall for each compound. The super-soft will reportedly be red, the soft will be white, the medium blue and the hard yellow. Sidewall lettering on the full wet tyre will be yellow and on the intermediates red.
It has also emerged that - so no drivers or teams are favoured - the FIA will distribute Pirelli's tyres to the teams after randomly shuffling the code numbers at grands prix.

The real question is - will this years crop of H-T F1 heads still remain faithful to Alonso? As usual, I will be pulling for Michael Schumacher. Hopefully Brawn and Merc can give him a car capable of winning this year.
Thanks for starting this off Dave.

You don't need copy pasta from James Allen to start off a thread. We all know WTF happened last year.

I'm a huge Schumacher fan and I am hoping to see him win at least one race this year! But I am a Ferrari fan at hearth so the Schumacher I know doesn't exist anymore lol... So Ferrari FTW!

Re: The Official Formula 1 2011 season Thread
Thanks for starting the F1 thread, Dave. 
. We've been waiting and waiting...
Everyone: as per previous F1 threads, non-f1 posts (ie pics of toy corolla) will be deleted.

Re: The Official Formula 1 2011 season Thread
I think there was only one devoted "Caterpillars can do no wrong" H-Ter on last years thread. I think the tide will swing decidedly towards Vettel and Schumacher...

Re: The Official Formula 1 2011 season Thread
So it looks a possible reason for why Rosberg was a little faster then Schumacher was because he wasn't spending enough time in the simulator!
Report says that he gets motion sick... he has experienced this since he has that motorcycle accident a couple of years ago!

I still don't understand how they will be starting the season with 2 lotus teams? They have so much time till the beginning of the season that they can't have this issue solved...

Re: The Official Formula 1 2011 season Thread
ya I know it will be sorted before the season but I think that it's dragging a little... Also why would you want 2 teams with the same name? Honestly makes no sense! I hope the courts give the rights to the Lotus name to Lotus the car company...

I must be the only one that thinks the Lotus-Renault looks hideous as shyte. They could have done better, but those colors with those lines just don't go together on a car shaped like the current F1 car. Sorry. lol
