Would smash. That's a clever look she has on her face...

Montreal 2010; Danza, Falcon, Bauley, Targa250 and I screamed "BOB!" during the drivers parade. Bob turned, smiled and gave us a big thumbs up. There's evidence somewhere on the interwebs.

Bob has been sorely missed. I wish he could come back.

You guys missed the Sutil drama where he sliced up the boss of Genji Capital with a broken wine glass? And then when Hamilton did not show up at the court date, he called him a coward. A COWARD!!!!!!

As a long time fan, I kinda miss the old school look of the F1 cars. The last few years have made the cars look like Afghan hounds in the front (had a perfect pic of one, but our webmaster has blocked almost everything from us...damn salesmen and their **** habits).
For '13 I would have to say I'm in the ABV crowd. Whomever wins, I hope it's an epic battle to the end...perhaps between Kimi, Mark and Hami. Although I am not a Ferrari fan, I do like Alonso, so I'll add him to the mix.
We could really use an American in the ranks again...if we could find one that can make right turns. Here's to 2013

I think a huge story for the year is going to be Merc and Hami. I do think there is going to be some major finger pointing going on if **** hits the fan, even tho here pushing for 2014.

Sporting director of Caterham quits the team after only 1 year, rumors are he's heading to Mercedes.

They really pussified Spa haven't they? Too much run off/reprofiling, and combine that with the high downforce/low power (relatively speaking) cars, just not even the same...

PS: Maak Webba on twitter is awesome.

"Gearhead channel SPEED has been under a lot of scrutiny lately as people speculate that Fox will turn the all car channel into a general sports channel called Fox Sports One next year."

The modesty panel is optional:
3.7.9 an optional, single piece, non-structural fairing of prescribed laminate
(whose precise lay-up may be found in the Appendix to the regulations) may not be more than 625mm above the reference plane at any point
2014 looks way crazier though with regards to noses:

As there’s been such huge interest in the 2013 nose, its worth noting the regulations for 2014 have been published by the FIA for some time. As part of the safety programme the FIA will introduce much lower noses. The nose tip must be centered around 185mm and the front bulkhead lowered to 500mm. Also front wings will be narrower, top rear wings will be shallower and there’ll be no beam wing.
Here’s a quick representation.

What else do they have on there? Pass time? Barrett-Jackson Auction?

Alan Decadenay (sp?) used to have some mildly entertaining shows on there, but they've been off for years.

Other channels have been putting on decent automotive content for some time now. Wheeler Dealers and Chasing Classic Cars are a couple I watch from time to time not on Speed.

According to Buxton's twitter feed, NBC has some big ideas for their upcoming F1 broadcasts, although exactly what those plans are are, haven't really been announced.

I drop the directv package with Speed in the off season. They really didn't have much... Velocity has better car programing IMO.

Victory by Design was really good. I have the entire series on my external hard drive that I need to watch again now that you mention it.
