Motors The Official bit-tech F1 2011 Thread

Maybe thats why theyre shoving coultard into the commentary box, Imagine his chin in all its HD glory!!

 

Yeah, because you are a real looker yourself?


Fair enough if you dont rate him as a driver or a pundit. Fair enough, he has a square jaw, but its getting really boring hearing him referred to as a moron or a retard, neither term apply by any stretch of the imagination.

 

I still would have preferred any of the 5Live boys in there with Brundle leavin DC to continue the ame of oneupmanship with EJ, i actually enjoyed their bickering and disagreements especially when Eddie was always right lol Still, no Legard is a resuolt whoever was stepping in.

And yay for proper HD at last. I still maintain that of almost all televised sport, this will benefit most. Seriously HD for football? The point? However the missus insists that all Equestrian should be in HD aswell.

 

As I understand it DC will still be doing the pre and post race stuff with Jake and EJ, he'll just be heading off shortly before the race in order to get to ready to commentate and obviously won't be around for the bits they do between qualifying sessions.

 

So anyone have any better pics of the new Lotus Renault GP livery yet (was said to be unveilled yesterday, though, obviously, on the old racer)... I could only quickly find this:

 

That is a sharp-looking car.

 

Yup... looks good.
Having a hard time finding more pics though... more *confirmed* pics... they only have a stream on their site...which is blocked here.
Can't wait to see all the new cars in their new colours.

Yeah.. .saw that... that's still a speculative render, though... I guess I'll wait another 2 weeks and then see all the new challengers in new colours and all.

Sexy!
Thansk for that, Krazeh. My search-fu abandonned me there.
Not sure about the Lotus logo on the nose, but the rest of the car looks good.
now can we have Bob Kubica in the Black-Carbon helmet he was demoing last year some time?

Alonso and Massa whining about having too much to do and how it makes it hard not to make mistakes, like it's a bad thing.

aaaaaaand on the lighter side of F1, some humerous predictions for 2011

Looking forward to the first race, hopefully Alonso can take the title this year.. Since Raikkonen is gone I'm his fan..

 

Thats a very pretty car, I love this time of year, even though I dislike both of their drivers (and have done for some time) I still can't wait to the see the new Ferrari Launch, every year that damn machine looks better and better. Still, even with the new 'Go Faster Black' scheme I can't see the Renault getting anywhere this year, except for when Kubica decides he wants to drive the wheels, suspension and front wing off the car for 10 laps once every four races...

 

That predictions thread had me loling.

Spoiler

Fernando more pasta than you.

PSML!

 

Valencia testing around the corner, more things are moving in F1 again:

Health people are speculating about Lotus-Renault being allowed to run in Gold and black in Canada. Insist that it might be promoting JPS. Remember that the Ferrari barcode was already too much.

DiGrassi claims Virgin is chasing money, and that's why he doesn't have a seat.

De La Rosa says "Pirelli is ready"

Beefier front tyres for 2011

Leiws gets new trainer

 

Paul di Resta confirmed at Force India for the 2011 season.

Along with Hulkenberg as reserve. Good for DiResta, I really hope Hulkeberg gets a proper drive soon, there's plenty of potential there.
