The Atlas F1 site once carried a long thread of argument about the dynamics of that unique American formula, the "Supermodified". The first of these three photos shows an odd "anti-Ackermann" angle for the car's outside wheel. http://www.oldstox.com/images/supermod%206.jpg The second and third photos show the outrageous left-side loading of their big-block...

Just for fun I've adjusted the qualy times for fuel load based on when the cars pitted. I've estimated 0.09 seconds per lap's worth of fuel. Times have been adjusted to a qualy time based on fueling to pit on lap 21 like Kubica and Lewis. Where Heikki would have pitted if he hadn't crashed is unknown but I've assumed lap 22 i.e. the lap after Lewis as...

I can't believe there are no individuals or companies in China, Russia, or the Middle East looking to get into F1.

Folks Am I the only one to find that it took way to long to send the SC and Medical Car after HK crash ? From my armchair position it was pretty obvious that it was a very bad crash and although I will need access to footage to time it I would say it took about 2min before the officials decided to deploy the SC, which IMHO was way too long. In such...

Race four has been the highest scoring so far this season of those that entered. How the points are worked out? Pole, 5 points ... 1st, 10 points ... 2nd, 8 points ... 3rd, 6 points ... Near miss (per driver in top 3), 1 point... Maximum points for 100% correct prediction is 29 points/race. What are "Near miss" points? These are points that...

I posted these comparisons throughout the 2006 & 2007 seasons to illustrate changes in top speeds as measured through the speed traps. In previous years I restricted the comparison to speeds recorded during the three segments of qualifying, since the best laps are usually recorded in those sessions. For 2008 I propose to consider the top speeds recorded...

... dangerous driving at the start of the race? A certain highly rated driver weaving and cutting right across his teammate, which would have been a certain collision had there been no evasive reaction from his teammate. I would certainly not appreciate this move from my teammate, let alone any driver. We had an ex Tyrell driver (Bailey) commentating...

Finns had received two top positions both in formula one and rallying without techncal failures. Perhaps the f1 circus should be split to pools A and B. Pool A is reserved solely to Finnish drivers while pool B would be open for non-Finnish drivers as well.

Ferrari: The perfect weekend. Pole position and a 1-2 finish. As between the two of them, Kimi once again demonstrated why he and not Massa is the world champion and the favourite for this year. Congratulations to all concerned. McLaren: The first comment has to be: thank goodness Heikki is OK. That looked really horrible, and with the way the marshals...

Pretty amazing qualifying. And pretty amazing how far the team has come. Alonso might be a lot better then most people think. -- "It is painfully obvious to me that the right guy to be world champion is Lewis”-Bernie Ecclestone Fritz

Well, really just an even older old David Coulthard. How long has is been since he's hadn't committed a first or second lap "racing incident"? -- "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"
