This never happened.

I've already forgotten that Kovi has won a F1 race..

So on the current F1 grid the only people that haven't won a race are:
Nicoberg, Slow Nick, Glockdog, Chocula, Sutil, Piquet, Nakajima and of course Alguersuari


I'm a bit surprised Rosberg and Nick haven't pulled one off yet, especially Nick.

I don't know what else to offer (in the Audio/video section or otherwise) to entice more people to register/participate in discussions here and/or just visit to read the threads.. If you guys have any suggestions I'd be open to hearing them.

i don't think it has anything to do with the forum... this season just sucks...
between BrawnGP dominating basically the first 6-7 races, then the difuser drama, then FIA vs FOTA, this season hasn't really been that exciting... only now that RedBull is stepping up has it been somewhat interesting...

I mean back in 2007 when Stoner was dominating MotoGP it was a race for who would come in second...dude would pull a crazy 10 second lead every race and just destroy everyone... boring... this season we had a 4 way battle and 6 races in the top 3 guys were tied... there are 4 guys who can win and the midpack in that is exciting to watch... all 4 drivers have their own distinct personality that you want to cheer for...

F1 is all about the politics and what you can and can't do... I mean Lewis did a burnout in Silverstone and he was having to appologize and walk on eggshells because that's a no no... F1 hasn't been a sport in a while, it's a business... there isn't enough fan stuff or real racing in a while... last time i was on the edge of my seat because of something that happen in F1 was when kimi won the title...

other than that, i wake up on friday morning, watch the last 30 minutes of practice, then saturday watch qaulifying eventually, and i don't wake up sundays to watch the race live anymore, i don't feel like i need to wake up at 4:30 to watch cars follow each other around and see who leap frogs who in the pits...

It won't be because he invited you.

I haven't been on OT in..... over a yr now. I have OG status, but I was always huge lurker on OT.

I really do think the politics of it all has left us all wishing for more... If this drama doesn't stop, all those Jerry Springer watching rednecks will pick up on F1.

Kovy really wants that seat for next year
Top 19 seperated by a second though... that's impressive...
Alguersuari under 2 seconds off the pace... not to shabby...

[Dr. Jimmmah!]

Anyone watch FP this morning? Both Toyota and BMW were testing weird 'boxes' on top of the nose cones. Matchett's speculates they are testing driver visibility for a 2010-spec monocoque.



Also, Toyota's mini rear wing

Honestly, i haven't even been watching the races.

I barely got the interest up to watch the F1.com recap video.
