Yeah I have gotten races from there before but I won't go into any torrent sites on any computer
that I care about due to the high probability of infecting it.

I would have to dig out my old laptop that I don't even use anymore and give that a try.

 

Great opinion piece by Will Buxton paying tribute to David Bowie and drawing a parallel to the state of F1

^^^ Good read. Had a hard time being excited for F1 this past season, not sure why.

 

Not quite a documentary but a historical vignette of the race that established Senna as someone to be reckoned with.

Here is a link to the article from Petrolicious



The next day, just before the race it started to rain. Little did his competition know that the conditions were perfect for Senna. As soon as the race began, it did not take more than half a lap for Senna to capture the lead.

While others were making fun and cutting corners, Senna was actually driving flat-out with the car, flying through bends like a stone skipping across water. He won that 12 lap race ahead of Niki Lauda, proving himself in equal machinery. Right away, John Surtees is said to have mailed a letter to Enzo Ferrari with the advice to hire Senna, if Enzo wanted to score a future World Champion. To his detriment, Ferrari didn’t take the advice.

Besides a wreath, the winning car would be retained by Mercedes-Benz and shown in the company museum; apparently, at the time Senna’s victory was an unpopular one—after all, the 24-year-old was still virtually an unknown. Cooler heads prevailed, and I’m sure Mercedes-Benz is happy that they kept the winning car; it remains at the company museum in Stuttgart to this day.

 

 

^^HAHA!!

A little more than a month before race #1!

 

You watch the finale of the 2012 season that you DVR'd yet

 

I'm all caught up! Hopefully no one will erase my recordings this year.

We got an upgraded DVR with more space so should be ok.

Funny, Haas F1 looks like last year's McLaren-Honda. Hopefully it runs better.

 

New format for qualifying being considered

http://m.bbc.com/sport/formula1/35650699


There will still be a three-part qualifying session but the plan is to adapt it as follows:

Q1 will last for 16 minutes
The slowest driver is eliminated after seven minutes
Then one will go every 90 seconds until seven drivers are out
Q2 will last for 15 minutes
The slowest driver will be eliminated after six minutes
Then one will go every 90 seconds until the end of the session
That leaves eight drivers in final qualifying.
Q3 will last for 14 minutes
The slowest driver will be eliminated after five minutes
Then one will go every 90 seconds until there are two drivers left
There will then be a final 90-second shoot-out for pole position
