Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.

On this, why are they called option and prime at all?
Well the option would be the tyre of choice, except that it takes two options to make one choice and cars requires four options. Which makes three choices. Or two if there is any exclusivity. Hence the prime is better because it is only divisible by itself and one.
Well, they owned Cosworth. Then they got bored and sold it.
On the other hand, you're right, Byronrhys.
An American V8 with 4.4 liters is called small block. To call it big block you have to go over 5.9 liters.
They give you like 10 horsepowers per liter (they don't call them liters but bushels or something like that).
In America, 2.4 liter engines are used only to power pencil sharpeners (or so I've heard).
In Europe 4.4 liter engines are used to power oil tankers (or so I've heard).
In South America we don't have engines. At all. That's why South Americans are so successful in Formula One: if you can do over 300 kph without an engine then it's easy when you have one.
Now, other mysteries:
If there is a Formula which is the Solution? (good question, btw)
If Hamilton is The Boss, who is The Minion?
If McLaren isn't Scottish, why Ecurie Ecosse isn't French? (yeah, I know, you didn't get that one. Google for it if you really had to know).
Is Renault from Reno?
Why Red Bull doesn't sponsor bullfighting?
Does the prancing pony swagger? (a bit, perhaps)
Are all Sauber drivers sober?
Shouldn't Lotus be from India?
It's true that Formula One will return to the US if they call it United States American Formula One Racing of North America?
Why Americans are called Americans instead of Unitedstatians? This ain't funny for the rest of people living in the American continent, btw. We demand it. We're tired of calling them gringos.
Do F1 tyres get tyred?
It's true that blown diffusers are happier that diffusers that don't get a blow?

Are pits The Pit?
Why marshals don't use a star?
It's true that F1 Technical has some technical difficulties once in a while?
Is F1 Technical more technical than other forums?
Is acceptable to formulate two questions in Formula One?
If we have fanboys why don't we have vaneboys? Oh, wait. Perhaps we do have vainboys. Do you think this joke is about you?
If fanboys are fans, why aren't they cooler?
Who's the father of pit babes? Who change their diapers?
Are Australian Super V8 that super?
If rednecks are fans of NASCAR does that mean that white collars are fans of F1? Which series blue collars root for?
What colour is the rest of the body of rednecks?
If we have Grand Prix, where are the Small Prix?
If size doesn't matter why do we have Grand Prix at all?
Is Grand Prix an alliteration of Grand Prick?
How large do you have to have it to classify for a Grand Prick?
How many lame jokes can I write in 20 minutes?
It's true that the best forum is the Roman one?
Do they call it a forum because that's where lions eat you?
