Sounds good though If he REALLY wanted a female F 1 driver and he was serious about it one would have been found by now
The thread was about women in F1, which you lost, so started talking about fighter pilots, which nobody disputes. Looking for a fight all the time................Pot / kettle :Wideyed: Then trying to make anybody with a different opinion to yourself as not worthy of you. Same old posts from you mate. True to form. I'll give you your wish and leave it here.
Never heard of him He came 11th in the iron man overall Not exactly at the top considering he is a superior F1 driver
I think this is the core of the problem. However I suspect by easier you mean less physically demanding than the days of the turbo monsters, but managing the complexities and getting that last ounce of performance from the current technology is probably very difficult.
John I don't know, just that a certain unnamed non F1 driver at that time, completed a test fairly recently, he did double race distance and after he got out he was asked how did he feel, he said fine. Apparently that was not possible in the past? Go figure. I guess Corner speeds are similar? so maybe driver aids perhaps, the hybrid power delivery??? I can ask someone else tonight who works in F1 if I see him. I think lap times since the introduction of new V6 have been comparable to other championships like GP2 perhaps. So I guess the transitions is easier. Sergio Perez says GP2 is embarrassing F1, blames Pirelli - F1 - Autosport One reason I am sad about the state of F1 and I looked at getting some GP2 tickets instead to find out they support the F1 races.
Rob - please pay attention. The thread is not, as I have said more than once, intended to be about women in F1... It is intended to be about "is Bernie a tw*t or not?". If I wanted a thread about women in F1, I would have called the thread "will a woman ever be able to drive an F1 car?" To which the answer is, obviously, yes - Lewis Hamilton already does...
Incidentally, this is what an F1 car should sound like - Italian Grand Prix: Juan-Pablo Montoya's record lap at Monza - BBC Sport Modern F1 cars sound like RD250's on standard pipes...
To extend the aviation analogy it is said that the F35 is very easy to fly leaving the pilot more time to manage the battle. I think F1 has lost it's soul. It is now more of an engineering challenge than a driver challenge and the rules are structured to provide a spectacle rather than a race where outright speed is the determining factor.
He is ridiculously small. He has very poor hair indeed. He is old, but won't give up on power. He is massively rich. That's pretty much all I know about him. Is he a twat? No idea, but I don't generally much appreciate very small people with power complexes, even if they are hardworking, and bright. Having said that, I don't think his view on women in F1 tell you any more than the above.
F1 is not remotely ecological, whatever they try and pretend. But that's fine. It's meant to be a race. So all this tyre management bollox is just that. Nowadays, it seems that the racers could all go faster but have to "manage the tyres" or "manage the fuel". What's the point of that?
:Watching: I'm very sorry old chap for wandering off topic. BTW, it's not about fighter pilots, Moto3 riders, Rally drivers, Paris-Dakar drivers either. :Banghead:
I agree Rob, and others have digressed too, but you are the one who said "The thread was about women in F1..." which is why I mentioned it... But reading back I appear to be guilty too - so I shall take my self outside and give myself a good talking to...
