I cant wait for the season to start!

So much is going to happen!

-Scott Speed; finally an American will be back in F1
-More Bridgestone runners

I'd like to see how Felipe Massa compares to Schumi. It will be interesting to see if he will live up to his talk.

And the v8s....22k RPM+...cant wait to hear what they sound like.


and I bet Williams we be a team much better than honda, just because of the Button-gate scandle

 

Are you vying to be the "official" thread for the 2006 F1 season?

 

I was gonna say, someone wants to be at the top of yet another year-long H-T Formula 1 thread

 

i think honda will do very well with rubens in the 2nd seat. i'm a big fan or honda f1.

i have a vid of the cosworth v8. i'll make a thread for it in this forum. its pretty nice i think.

 

I believe honda will have the best v8...they run indy cars.
Although Cosworth has a lot of experience with v8s too.

 

honda had better have the best or something has gone way wrong. the had the most power in 2005 and as you point out they run indy v8s so they know what they are doing.

 

power isn't everything as we have learned, also need a good chasis to put it in

 

judging by the Chinese GP though, if renault had that engine all season, they could have been just as dominant as maclaren

 

yes yes i know but i was just talking about the engine.

 

BAR should idealy do better for 06. They did okay for 05, I mean they had 0pts because of all the BS a the begining of the season. Button needs to be more aggressive, he's always get punk'd around for his position.

 

i just realized, 2006 USGP is JULY 2, which is over the JULY 4th (tuesday) weekend, which is going to be an automatic 4 FOUR DAY WEEKEND!

im so there.

i think because of this years pranks, next year is going to be even better!

 

^ damn, makes me want to go. i wonder how much it would cost in total

 

BIG BIG changes for '06. This should make everything wide open. Can Ferrari get their **** back together? Will someone like Red Bull emerge as the next Renault? I'm already in withdrawl.

I haven't even see the 2005 Chinese GP yet. I'm recording it tonight. I have no idea who won...

 

replay is at midnight right?

 

My vote is for a Red Bull Sweep of the podium for every race.... yeah thats righ... I said it

 

Honda's Indy V8 is a totally different animal from the F1 V8.

Everyone expected Honda to kick *** from the get-go in CART/IndyCar in 1994, but it didn't happen. The engine was crap. They were trying to apply lessons learned in F1 to IndyCars and it didn't work out.

Besides, HPD and HRD are two separate entities and I doubt a whole lot of info exchange happens. Also, Ilmor's design is the basis for the Honda Indy V8.

 

I think the real key to making power in the f1 motors is minimizing vibrations though.

 

the best part of the chinese gp was when it was over. it was a terribly boring race. there was a tiny bit of action at the end but not much.

 

yeah...japanese gp was amazing

nothing is changing? what the hell are you talking about. bar was hondas chassis provider. now they will develop an engine and chassis all under honda.

 

british american tobaco made chassis huh? its the same people honda just bought out the rest of bats holdings in the team.
