I hear that Sutil gives good feedback to the engineers so is more of a benefit from a development point of view, whereas I imagine di resta just complains a lot.Paul Di Resta without a seat for 2014 is the biggest pile of shit ever. He out performed Sutil and then gets dropped like a brick. So gutted.
Di Resta gets to go take cousin Dario's seat, then?
I think that king of complaining is Jenson. You know, everything understeers in his hand. Or he is still searchin for that mythical grip. Maybe they developed a voice filter that remove 'understeer' from any radio chat between pitwall and driver :DI hear that Sutil gives good feedback to the engineers so is more of a benefit from a development point of view, whereas I imagine di resta just complains a lot.
Watching races from 1999 on sky. I loved the cars from this era so much. I like the on screen graphics too, that classic yellow and white text.

This photo is rumored to be the Honda F1 engine in testing in a NSX racing concept.
The top mounted air scoop like F1 cars is a clue.

Some NSX-R's had the scoop.
Maybe he can help finding the power steering for Trulli.I think that king of complaining is Jenson. You know, everything understeers in his hand. Or he is still searchin for that mythical grip.

If there are two drivers of the last decade that I am sad didnt live up to their potential then it is Fisi and Trulli. Trulli at least had a couple of seasons at Renault vs Alonso where he didnt do too bad and Fisi has a couple of race wins but meh he was destroyed by Alonso at Renault
I wish you guys could go back in time and see the Trulli that was fast on Saturday, fast on Sunday and hungry to do his best that drove at Prost and Jordan, we were all convinced he would be a world champion, pity his temperament changed and he never had a car.
Well, I think you are looking back with rose tinted glasses,all anyone remembers of Trulli are the 'Trulli-Trains', which were ridiculous!
He could wrap up the occasional fast lap, but had zero consistency. It was thanks to the terrible air buffer behind him that other drivers werent plowing him every lap. Trulli would not have been able to hide in the DRS era.

He was even voted best driver by the drivers themselves in F1 Racing (in 2003 too I think) and after Australia 2005 many were thinking he was going to crush Formula 1 from now on, everything after was a big letdown for him but at least he got to drive for Ferrari even if it was for a few races in the worst conditions with the worst car Ferrari had for a decade.

I'm really wary of judging drivers by their radio messages. We get such a tiny slice of what is said over the course of a weekend, and what we do hear is carefully chosen for broadcast by FOM staff who are effectively in the business of entertainment.I think that king of complaining is Jenson. You know, everything understeers in his hand. Or he is still searchin for that mythical grip. Maybe they developed a voice filter that remove 'understeer' from any radio chat between pitwall and driver :D
Button: I'm understeering
Vettel: Get him out of my way (30 laps later: I love you boys)
Hamilton: Stop talking to me
Kimi: mmrrmfmrmmblbl
We know there's more to these guys than these radio catch phrases. They wouldn't be in top teams if this was all the feedback they had to offer. FOM just gives us the quotes that make for a good show. It's like high speed Big Brother.
Gruso, I am not judging Jenson on radio comm, but he is complaining about understeering as long as he is in F1. Hell, even in BrawnGP car in the second half suddenly developed understeering...
Hulk confirmed at Force India.
Are we even sure the Lotus 2014 will be better than the Force India 2014 ?Stupid broke Lotus had to sign Loldonado, Hulk should be there.
With the Mercedes engine and all this talk about staff leaving, it wouldn't be surprising to see some kind of decline for Lotus next year not to mention Loldonado of course
True, a lot of unknowns for next year.
wait, what? Lotus Mercedes? What did I miss and when?
It was a reference to Force India's engines.wait, what? Lotus Mercedes? What did I miss and when?
I also find it rather amusing that Hulk's deal is so prominently being described as "multi-year" when we all know he'll probably be moving on again in another year (regardless of what the contract says), either because he has the opportunity of a faster seat, or he's been dropped due to lack of sponsorship cash. Again.

Eddie Jordan was right again. When everyone was saying Hulk to Lotus was a lock, he was the first and only one to clearly say that Hulk was going to Force India.
Now we need to wait to see if the other Eddie Jordan "prediction" is also true: Alonso to McLaren in 2015.

Drivers and calendar for next year updated. No Korea or India, and Mexico and New Jersey have been dropped, to no ones surprise.

That is so fucked up. And the worst is that one team decided to vote against a weight limit increase.
"I think it should be changed... All teams bar one did vote for that weight limit to be increased and it has to be unanimous - but there was one team that objected to it."
How can one team alone block such a decision, when the other 10 teams are for it? That's bullshit.
