So you're like 75 or 80?..or were you following it in diapers?

formula 1 has been on the go for just over 50 years, so you can work it out that I am over 60, and not 75-80!

As F1 has been on the go for just over 50 years, that would make me just over 60.
Anyway, what difference does my age make? You're not aegist, are you?

Of course, Ferrari F60! Silly me, but it does show that I was a follower of F1 in the traditional days, have traditional iews, but would still be open to non-traditional changes.

Just wondering how the hell old you are to make that statement....You had to be at least say 10 to "follow" it..so since 1950,,technically 1949 was the "inception" that would make you 70 or even more realistically 75..
I being 62 wondered since "inception" was a long long time ago now...Hmmmm 62 strange..that was the year "I" started following F1.
I say following because there was no TV back then..Road and Track...Competition Press etc was the only way back then on this side of the pond...well the occasional Monaco race on Wide World of Sports.
Semms your the one who's touchy about your age. ;)

I think there were radio broadcasts of the races back in the 50's in the UK.

Does not look like Briatore has fallen out with Bernie at the moment.

Looking at those Daily Mail pictures, I finally understand auto's dislike of Briatore.

Him and his old-man friends are surrounded by young totty. =P~

Auto is just jealous! :lol:

Oh, and reading the Daily Mail is not great. That rag publishes almost nothing but hatred of foreigners and despair at the perceived state of the UK.

My mother reads the Mail and the times I have to correct her on things because she's "read it in the paper so it must be true" is quite frightening :( Maybe that's why we argue whenever I phone her... #-o

Surely you mean the Ferrari F10.


The constant whinging about and attacks on Ferrari are got boring and unoriginal a long time ago. I understand you dislike Ferrari but, why constantly try to irritate Ferrari fans. Surely you don't take your hatred of Ferrari to the point of hating Ferrari fans. So why constantly make remarks designed simply to agitate?It really does get old not to menttion its off topic. Now since I'm off topic: was the front wing flexing as much with lower DF requirements of Spa.
