F1 World Championship 2013 Thread

Yes I can see the conversation going a bit like this

Pit Wall - Kimi, Alonso is coming up behind you, he's faster than you.

Kimi - Leave me alone I know what i'm doing

2 Laps later

Pit Wall - Kimi, Alonso is stuck behind you.

Kimi - **** off, stop bothering me, I'm driving.

Alonso vs R?ikk?nen in one team can potentially be as interesting as Prost vs Senna at McLaren in 1988/1989. I'm looking forward to their battles next year.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that when the announcement came out. :)

That would also require Ferrari to get their acts together and give them a good enough car, an eventuality I am at this time sceptical of.

That kind of did break up the flow of the track plus a lot of people were damaging their cars on it. Hopefully the new sweeping corner will give more overtaking opportunities

[MightyJordan]

Already capitalising on Ferrari's new lineup...

Glad they took that silly chicane out, it strung out the cars and made overtaking incredibly difficult. Hopefully this will promote better action.

I need that t-shirt. If only to tease the Spanish Alonso fan at work. :P

Agreed, it isn't like the track needed it. There are still some tricky areas even with the chicane removed.

^ I like that Lotus are happy to make fun of themselves. Can never have too much humour in F1! :p

 

And an alternative's already arisen...

 

[MightyJordan]

Pirelli will bring a different tyre allocation for the Korean, Japanese and Indian Grand Prix to those used at the races in 2013.

 

A more conservative selection will be used at the Korea and Suzuka circuits, whereas a softer combination will be used in India.

 

The hard tyre will not be taken to the Indian Grand Prix for the first time since the race was added to the calendar in 2011. Teams will have the soft and medium tyres for that race.

 

At Suzuka teams will have the two hardest tyres available ? medium and hard. At Korea ? as in Singapore this weekend ? the medium will be used alongside the super-soft tyre.

[Noir Angel]

Not surprised they changed the tyre allocations for Suzuka, probably a reaction to the problems at Silverstone. Unfortunately however it also makes it more likely that race will probably be red bull dominated again.

FIA slip-up maybe?

Just read through Top Gear's recent interview with Taki Inoue. And now I'm wishing most of today's drivers were like him. Personality-wise, obviously not talent-wise. :P http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/tg-meets-taki-inoue-2013-09-17
