The season opener will answer a few questions for us and ask a different set of questions. Can't wait!!! What channel was "formula one, the killer years" and what was it about?

I also found this photo.

That show is on Velocity. I have to set up the DVR to record it.

That's a cool comparison pic. Thanks for sharing.

Ytdlite - I share your sentiments regarding Melbourne. I hope the race will deliver in a big way.

I highly recommend it although it was a little tough to watch.

Not a lot of talk going on about this

http://www.formula1.com/news/headlin...2/3/13077.html

Maurissa's test driver has been announced and yes, that is Maria as in the female name. As the article states she isn't the first female to drive or compete in F1 but she is the first i have seen/remember in my following which began in 1998. She will get to drive the car through the season in Practice sessions, i'm all for it personally, there are females competing in many forms of motorsport so why should F1 be any different. I'm no male femenist but it would love to see her beat Mark Webber and see the look on his stupid face when he realises a woman drove better than him hehe.

That is great news. I get a feeling that Caterham is in this business for the long haul. If Rossi can impress enough and the team has secured funding, I can see them replacing Petrov with Rossi, if Rossi is seen as the better driver. Petrov is very inconsistent and while there have been flashes of brilliance, I don't quite see the potential of a good driver in him.

Thanks for sharing

Nice video Samer. I never knew the "Earth Dreams" car was even capable of overtaking. Considering it was such a dog, I bet the TV coverage never included it unless it had crashed or caught fire.

The fantasy league is Mitch and Dave's isn't it? I may sign up for that.

Do you want to get a sign-up roster going on here??
