Another brilliant piece of irony - the man who did more for introducing revolutionary concepts into F1 complaining when someone out-thinks him.hopeful traveller wrote:I have read the article.Root wrote:I have always loved the Brabham fan car.

Bernie, then president of what is now FOTA, at the request of Colin Chapman, who threatened to withdraw from F1 if the situation wasn't improved, pulled the plug on it.
I do have a great F1 book looking at its whole history (up to the mid-2000s), with a section on unusual cars, which is where I read about the Brabham in question. It's in England though, and apparently my memory of it isn't so great.tubeguru wrote:I suggest you get the book in question - it's the story of how Renault used a loophole in the regulations to introduce turbos in 1977, leading to their widespread use up to 1988, when the McLaren MP4/4 used them to achieve levels of dominance that Red Bull can only dream of.
ht i found a stream of the live race free its with russian commentary i believe there is even one with finnish commentary to be honest its no differant and u hardly notice its not english.Root wrote:Seriously, HT, just find a stream of the Sky coverage. It's not that hard.
Anyway, I missed the live race by accident, and avoided the results until I could watch a re-run, which I know have. Sorry for the delay in publishing the scores. Great win for Jenson. As I predicted, Red Bull and McLaren are slightly ahead of everyone else. Mercedes will be disappointed though, as they had a chance to mix things up. Lots of interesting battles down the track, too, including a brilliant scramble right at the line for the lower points positions - sixth through eleventh were covered by just 3.1 seconds at the end.
Well done to Garion, who takes an early lead in the predictions game after scoring 154 points. Really pleasing for me is that there are 14 players taking part, well up on the eight who took part in the first round last year. There are a few who aren't on this forum, but only one I don't recognise; does anyone know who Peter is?
On to Malaysia for the next round, which is already next weekend. The entries deadline is 02:00 on Friday, UK time, so I suggest you get your entries in by the end of Thursday.
First and so far only female solo record holder!!

Presumably he drives a car - does he ever exceed the speed limit, on the motorway for example? He might say "everyone does it", but you could use the same argument to defend your streaming
You just keep telling yourself that.palkanetoijala31 wrote:The stream i use is sopcast is free legal and perfectly legit
Except the video quality will be terrible and the sound won't be in sync. In my experience.palkanetoijala31 wrote:stick the commentary of radio 5 live on through headphones and u wont notice the differance
