someday the grid will be three or four factory teams and nine more B teams

we're almost there already

 

Sauber is the C team.

 

F1 set to revert to 2015 qualifying format in China

It appears to be official. Back to good qualifying.

 

thanks falcon!

 

Pferdestall Tanzelnden Hauspferd will be Sauber's new name.

 

It's German since that's what Swiss people use.

 

Ourtun, you should get us some metrics on how often you double post.

 

bernie's still a master of pulling the puppet strings of the media

 

he's a master of puppets you might say

 

I would be more interested in how many times he only posts twice in a row.

 

More than 1 sentence or picture per post is overkill.

 

motion to disqualify from WPC. all in favor?

 

ayyyy

 

ayy

 

The Benetton B191 that Michael Schumacher drove to his first podium will be auctioned.



From the auction page:

“Three-times Formula 1 World Champion Driver Nelson Piquet completed his last Grand Prix race in it, in the Australian round on the beautiful Adelaide street and parkland circuit at the end of the 1991 season. Present-day Formula 1 TV commentator and highly-respected pundit Martin Brundle drove this self-same car upon his Benetton team debut in the 1992 South African GP, and the great seven-times Formula 1 World Champion Driver Michael Schumacher scored the very first ‘podium’ finish of his glittering pinnacle-level career using this car, in the 1992 Mexican Grand Prix at Mexico City.”

 

Some say he had a glittering career.

 

and that it was pinnacle level.

 

I agree

 

The "self-same" confused me. Must be an English thing as Americans would use "exact same".

 

full stop

 

yay qualifying is back to normal. thank god.

hope ferrari has figured out its engine issues.

 

who know, qualy format may change 3 more times before Q1

 

This picture was crooked before.

Fixed

 

Did the teams vote on the new qualy rules last year? Also, if the championships are settled early there might be more qualy changes this season.

 

Such perspective crop, much wow.

Thanks falcon.
