F1

Yeah i realise that, he would slot into Toro Rosso first though if/when he gets into F1 before red bull.

Would be good to see another Aussie in the mix.

Just looking on his site, he drives for the red bull F3 team. Makes good sense now

Going completely off topic, but:

seeing as BMW are pulling out, why don't VW or one of the million car companies they own go to F1................imagine a VW or Audi F1 car, don't see why it couldn't work?

What do you guys think?

[geeza]

sounds good - lets face it the Veyron is VW!! nice and fast

[gareth_oau]

they say that you can make a small fortune in motor racing - all you need to do is start with a big fortune!!

I suspect there would be very few manufacturers trying to get in with this economic climate.

Porsche competed in the early 60s and then had another bash supplying TAG engine to McLaren in the 80s where they won two constructors championships.

they tried again disasterously in 1991, supplying engine to the hapless Footworks team

Audi is pretty pressed with their Lemans racing and I heard a rumour that VW is maybe supplying engines for indy cars or some other fairly major US open wheel series next year.

It would be Audi that would do it over VW, they are the more "sporty" arm of the company. They would probably try and make a diesel F1 engine though

if VW supply engine to indy cars and they look very competitive, i cant see any reason why they wont join F1. thats what toyota did. they winning so many races in indy that they end up joing F1 for chalenge. but if that happend more likely would be called team audi. Going back to BMW pulling out this could be the chance for VW to join F1, is to buy BM or the old team owner Peter Sauber will end up buying it back.

how may wins or point will fisi get for the rest of the season driving for Ferrari?

[Stiggy_21]

it is still drivers championship points, so i would assume he'd keep what points he has if he moves to ferrari.

[revhead1016]

i think he'll give kimi a run for his money

Any opinion from last night F1 race? Shame about Webber.

Any opinion from last night F1 race?

Yeah, *yawn*
Boring as! IMO anyway. I'm not a fan of street circuits. If those drivers didn't have piles before the weekend, they probably do now after all the bouncing around on the rough roads. And having the race at night doesn't make it any more of a spectacle if there's no-where for the drivers to overtake.

I really thought Webber would do better but it seems he's regressing to his old ways.

It seems Brawn is going to supply this years champ. I just hope Rubens can do enough to pip Jenson as I really can't stand the thought of the commentators rabbiting on about Jenson being champ. Damn bias Pom commentators! If they're going to impose the commentators on the world broadcast, the least they could do is make them impartial.

Webber lucked out a bit, he got bumped back two spaces for the pass on alonso and then the safety car came out a few laps after he had pitted so that didn't work for him as everyone who hadn't pitted jumped him.

He always seems to have some bad luck.

[revhead1016]

I really hope he get a better year next year. But with the Renault is out of the race for 2 years they going to have a problem what engine they going to have… Street race is ok if you have place to overtake but Singapore is worst than Monaco, and night race is only favouring the poms during race so it’s not too late over there. I think they should bring Imola, and Canada. Canada is a street race but you can over take.

This weekend race will be more exciting that Singapore. We’ll soon find out.

you also have to feel sorry for rosberg, his pit lane exit error should have cost around 27 seconds, but because he had to do it at the tail of a safety car, it sent him all the way to the back of the pack

Dull race. Pitty about webbers brakes giving up. Not really his fault as alot of the field had brake issues towards the end.

Next is japan on my favourite circut (100's of laps in forza2). Look forward to it!
