    @LandofMinos, I took the O out of Cuntry: Where he hides his gold. Mr fucktard who didn't check his spelling.

    sir frank williams is awesome, in the truest sense of the word. i saw an interview with patrick head about williams, and he explained williams' humble roots, such as having to use a pay phone to conduct business. how F1 and racing have changed since then.

    I'm sure they're quite excited that they have a chance of finishing fifth in the Constructor's next year.

    @mclawdog: C'mon, you know that if they have ANY success at all there'll be more teams jumping on the 'F1 the way someone thought it used to be' bandwagon.


    Then there will be a new Bernie, then revenue battles, then we'll be right where we are now.


    But hopefully with a few good years of racing in the middle. Personally I'd like to see a return to the '80s turbo madness, but there are lots of interesting eras to choose from...

    Will Formula One ever get rid of the beige teeth requirement? Max and Sir Francis both look like they've been sucking on coffee grounds.

    If I were a racer I would prefer to go out in a massive brilliant fireball or at least achieve my massive life changing injuries that way. It must be kind of embarrassing to be a famous race car driver and explain that you flipped your rental Taurus; that is unless you were racing or in a police chase at that moment of impact. I guess that would be ok.

    @Flathead Smith: Oh, come on. Re-read what you just said; he flipped a rental Taurus. That makes him sorta like the patron saint of hoons. Half the Jalops out there would wear that like a badge of honor for their whole lives. It's just because he did so many even-more-awesome stuff in his life that you think that way.

    Still kinda blows my mind that Peter Windsor was in the car with Williams when it crashed, and Peter walked away from it with few, if any, injuries.

    So they haven't decided what to call it yet? F0.5? F1/2? EFF-it? These are the kind of questions that keep me awake at night, staring at the ceiling.

    OK, here's my opinion on this. I think Bernie and co are screwing F1 up with excessive rules and regulations. I would actually like to see more variations and all in the technology that F1 cars use. However, the players shouldn't be the referees, and I can't imagine how they will go about organising everything, especially if McLaren and Ferrari are at loggerheads, which, I assure you, they will be at some point or other.


    Also, would the BBC have the TV rights to this new championship? Please, please, please, it's simply awesome in an "oh-my-god-everyone-is-running-away-oh-noes-he-didn't-make-it" way whenever Martin Brundle does the pitwalk.


    The solution to F1's current plight, ladies and gentlement, if I may, is to make me the president of FIA and FOM. I pledge to keep the teams in the championship by giving them more financial gains, and removing unnecessarily restrictive technical and research regulations. I would work for the low, low price of just two Ferraris, a yacht, and a basement in Chelsea with a couple of Nazi hookers.
