I agree too and I plan to add a sub forum off of this one.

I'll do it in a bit.
Great, that will solve a couple problems...












Can we exclude NASCAR?

Can you quantify a "bit"?

bit:

A bit (abbreviated b) is the most basic information unit used in computing and information theory. A single bit is a one or a zero, a true or a false, a "flag" which is "on" or "off", or for that matter any two mutually exclusive states.

Perfect krazik answer, very informative but completely does not answer the question based upon the context in which it was asked...

another punch...

No chit! I could not believe when KR lapped RB for the 2nd time, that McL was fast yesterday!!!

And just off the top of my head, Williams did very well considering all the last minute engine problems and the hassles they had to go through. And I still can't believe Red Bull is really the old Jag team, I mean they have transformed themselves. I have not been a fan of DC for a long time, but I have to give him credit, I'm sure he is playing a major role at RB and the results are coming in.

Hard as it may be to believe, Williams is history. From '85-'95, they were the bomb, but they've fallen so far behind the others in aero that they're simply no longer competitive. BMW says they'll have a deal with a new team by mid-summer. KR looked pretty awesome at Imola, before getting into trouble; this time he really delivered.

Still... it's tough to be intimidated by a driver named Kimi.

(Not to mention that the guy's got even less personality than Vijay Singh )

How about the block Weber tried on Fisichella at 200+ mph?

ing Weber. I have never been a fan, what an over rated driver! MW this, and MW that, MW blah blah blah. MW everything but showing me the results. That stunt at 200+ mph changed my opinion of him from being an over rated driver to just plain being an ass who does not belong in F1...

Williams BMW being past their prime and in trouble, no surprise here. All you need to know is Frank Williams, someone as cheap as he is can not stay on top for very long. The days of BMW and McLaren being 'the best of the rest' is long gone.

I sort of like Kimi. He is so funny to watch in interviews, sometimes I think the announcer ought to just stop and ask him if he has taken a breath today or had a heart beat, he is almost too cool and laid back.

What about Ferrari, are they going to bounce back?

Do you believe the "got a puncture" story on MS's car? That front tire looked like it failed because it had been pushed to a point where it blistered itself to death.

Why is it that so many of the changes these past years to make the cars more even, to slow down the Ferrari and reduce costs seem to have no regard to safety, and safety seems to be what is always comprimised?

I missed 2nd qual and about 20 laps of the race due to the power being out.

Kimi was flying.

I agree about MS's tire. I think it had blistered to death. Bridgestone is sucking w/ these new rules.
