That would make sense as he was rammed from behind by Schuie who managed to drive back to the pits with the front right wheel missing.esbjornzon wrote:siskue2005 wrote:Yup Brundle still bitter from 1992 [-Xraymondu999 wrote:I think we saw from Rubens' t-bone of Alonso that the Ferrari is an absolute tank.

He went to try to punch DC as soon as he got out of the car too. Which is ironic considering how many times he chose to drive in to other people...

Mystic,
In south africa the datsun 1400 pickup or "bakkie" as locals refer to it, is a much loved workhorse. Extremely reliable.

Bakkies are cool little utilities, very popular here in Aus.
All cool here Marcush

it´s true Autogyro - no big dealautogyro wrote:Looks exactly the same as an automatic transmission clutch as used in many auto transmissions since the 1930's. It is just dry friction materials rather than wet.
No big deal at all.
Build a transmission casing out of light exotic materials.
Fill it with conventional but light weight gears in a combination based on an 1899 design. Operate the selectors with hydraulic or pneumatic rams electronicaly controled and you have an F1 gearbox.
Join a fully regulation controlled engine design to it and you have the complete F1 powertrain.
Now where on earth is the on going technical development in that?
what makes me wonder is, why you still follow follow the sport?
go and watch/support solar vehicle racing, it´s the future of automotive racing

I most certainly would (not solar but electric), if the FIA would stop delaying the introduction of official racing formula of this type.747heavy wrote:it´s true Autogyro - no big dealautogyro wrote:Looks exactly the same as an automatic transmission clutch as used in many auto transmissions since the 1930's.

Right, I'll eat the MS-signed Nomex if you agree to wear a fully-fledged Red Bull outfit rather than the Alonso one, signed by Christian Horner, how about that?

@ JET, marcush and seg, let's get into details;
I'm willing to go along with this slight alteration to our sacred wager;
- If MGP wins a race before that very date, I'll eat the MS-signed nomex-suit with spargel and an endless supply of Kölsch and/or Alt, the latter supplied by marcush.
- I If not, you JET, will spend the entire weekend in the most ridiculing Redbull outfit I can ever find on the web.
