Didn't know where to put this but enjoy

Sebastien Loeb has won his 9th WRC title, an amazing feat.

Looks likely to be his last one as he has said he plans to retire from Rallying and will maybe focus on something else... Can't help but feel a bit disappointed he didn't decided to push for 10

I have struggled to keep track of the WRC this year, jsut set it to record and watched it as and when, which is a real shame. Hopefully it'll get a better contract next year for more coverage.

Wow, WRC is still going?

Guerrilla · 9 Oct 2012 at 09:35

Just about

Not sure how Loebs departure will help matters though.

Back together again

Just spotted the AMG sponsorship on Nico's kart too.

arknor · 9 Oct 2012 at 16:32

is it just me or does nico always look like he would rather be somewhere else

He looks ridiculously like Keke there - somehow moreso than now.

Just realised both Mercedes drivers will have yellow helmets next year.

Going to have to use the roll hoop cameras to tell them apart.

Copyright claim by Formula One Management?! Are they planning an official Gangnam F1 video!?

No they are just a bunch of sad *****

The FIA don't seem to want to promote F1 online at all, bit odd really.

I can understand them taking down footage from the FOM feed, but they seem to want to take down footage of anything to do with F1.

Will be easy to tell them apart, Lewis will be the one driving like Senna, Nico won't be

What does that have to do with anything? Drivers change their helmets all the time if they're at a specific event or one they enjoy.

One-off night race special, IIRC other drivers did the same.

He had his normal one back in Suzuka, plus given his hard-on for Senna (Ayrton

) I doubt he'll ditch it just because he's moving teams.

Hamilton's had a yellow Senna inspired helmet since he was karting.

His father said it was so he could see where he was on the track when karting?
