F1 2010 season: Your thoughts

Or as Horner said from the pit lane on TV..MOVE OVER...MOVE OVER :p:D

LOL.

What I disliked about Horner is that he was say one thing (we do not favour one driver over another), yet his actions would suggest otherwise.

Like Ferrari, I wish he would just come clean and state that RBR operate a No.1/No.2 system and as such they feel it is in the best interests of the team to give preferential treatment to their No.1. There is nothing illegal about this and is completely up to the team how they wish distribute their resources between the 2 cars.

The blatant lies just made it worse.
 
These days, you have a single overtaking move and then its game over.

Not even that a lot of the time, many overtakes are still done via pit stop strategy.

You'd think the engineers in F1 could design a monocoque which copes better with disrupted airflow, the current designs just encourage Vettel style 'racing' which involve qualifying on pole and then hotlapping for 70 laps. The actual art of battling with and overtaking other drivers doesn't seem to exist much anymore bar a few drivers. eg. Hamilton/Kobayashi.
 
Don't they have to take a sample after quali? How did he get away with that one I wonder ;)

Because he turned his engine off before he got to the minimum level of fuel required for a sample on orders of his pit wall. Then the rules changed so you have to make it back to the pits after doing a qually run.
 
Best part: close championship when it could easily have been won much earlier
Worst part: the Red Bull flexi wing lies - increased testing introduced and they suddenly go average :rolleyes:
Best Race: Canada - a race that showed how exciting faster, less durable rubber is the key to excitement
Worst race: Bahrain or Abu Dabi, because of the let down in hype.
Best overtake: Schumacher on Alonso at Monaco
Worst crash: Webber at Valencia

8/10
 
Yep...I'd go along with that. Otherwise, you would see 1 RBR car open up a 30s gap over the 2nd placed man and then manage that gap. Would've got boring after the first few races.
 
Thoroughly enjoyed the season from start to finish. The racing at times was epic. The amount of different possible race winners added to the excitement. I loved the fact that everyone at some point had their problems. At times, nobody from the top 3 teams looked safe to finish a race.

Best parts:
  • 4 title contenders going into the last race
  • BBC Coverage, even Legard for the stupid comments he made on a fair few occasions
  • EJ shirts. The banter about them
  • Hamilton wanting to get on with it in Korea
  • Schumacher's return. Sneaky move on Alonso in Monaco. General smiling / joking around he did. Changed person imo.
  • Alonso's laugh :p :D
  • Alonso's drive in Singapore fending off Vettel. Neither made a mistake. Streets ahead of everyone else
  • Webber's comment at the end of the British GP
  • Webber thinking he was a member of the Red Arrows :p

Worse parts:
  • Vettel's overtaking skills.
  • Vettel's qualifying pace :p ;)
  • RB6
  • Stupid drive throughs for Alonso (Silverstone) and Vettel (Hungary?) Distance behind Webber / safety car?
  • The banging on about RB's flexing wing. Then flexing floor. Martin Whitmarsh complaining about everything he could see


All I can think of whilst half asleep. It's been a very long day :o
 
I'd like to comment just how much i enjoyed the BBC coverage this year.

Its really leagues ahead of the ITV coverage, Jake is partly responsible for this too i feel. Its nice being able to talk to him on twitter and suggest stuff for him to bring up on air as he reads out twitter updates from his ipad.

But its not just that, the F1 forum, the lack of adverts, the banter from Eddie, Jake and David, it all just works so well.

Apart from leg-end

but you cant have it all can you ?
 
Yes :D

I nearly enjoyed it as much as a Raikkonen win at Spa :p
That Spa win was a nice one from Kimi. :)

Apart from leg-end

but you cant have it all can you ?
Just thought I'd mention that a mate of mine and I had a Twitter bet. The first person to get a tweet from a famous person wins. I got a tweet from Legard in reply to me asking him if the Korean GP would go ahead. My mate tried to claim that I hadn't actually won because I wouldn't recognise Legard if I walked past him on the street. :confused:

That'd be the Jonathan Legard with a picture of himself on his Twitter page then? :rolleyes:

Victory, both real and moral, mine. :cool:
 
Just managed to score myself a little booklet from Lotus called Lotus Racing: Singapore Race Notes. It's got little foldup models of the lotus cars in it as well as various interviews and information from Tony Fernandez, drivers, other team members

Probably dead common, but does anyone want it scanned? could do it sometime in the week :)
 
Heads up, bbc f1 program starting soon.

MOTORING: F1: 2010 Season Review
On: BBC 1 South West (101)
Date: Saturday 20th November 2010 (starting in 16 minutes)
Time: 13:00 to 14:00 (1 hour long)

Jake Humphrey introduces a review of the 2010 Formula One season, including the key moments from a thrilling title race. The car to beat for most of the year was the Red Bull, but drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel were not always able to reproduce qualifying pace on race day. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso made a slow start to the year but found form in the latter stages of the season, while British duo Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button both endeavoured to get their best out of their McLaren cars.
