Formula 1 2011 Discussion

[1900-hustler]

So all the teams have revealed their new cars for 2011.

A few rule changes with the inclusion of KERS and also adjustable rear wings and also Pirelli as the new tyre supplier means that all teams are starting from scratch again..

Hope to see MW competitive in this years competition too - but i am also hoping that Roseberg and Mercedes GP up there at the top too..

A handful of rookies also this year should make this year exciting..

I do look forward to this season... I wonder if a new tyre supplier is enough to shake up the order this year!

[dc2r-0636]

who believes that teams like ferrari (used bridgestone) had an advantage over most of the teams like mclaren(who used michellin) , when bridestone became the tyre supplier ?

[1900-hustler]

i dont think it was much of an advantage as back then they had no cap on testing and that so big teams like mclaren had a sh*tload of cash to be able to carry out pre-season testing and analysis to modify their cars so suit the bridgestone tyres when they became the sole supplier in 07.

besides that year raikkonen only won the WDC by 1 point from lewis hamilton and alonso was 3rd - so i wouldnt say they had an advantage over mclaren.. but other teams that didnt have such a big budget would have been less competitive coming from a car setup for michellen tyres..

[dc2r-0636]

yeah the testing would help a lot, raiks might be coming back to F1 anyone see that? http://en.espnf1.com/renault/motorsp...ory/40342.html

[1900-hustler]

yeah i heard that rumour about him replacing kubica after he had his accident..

the thing about raikkonen he said he would only come back in a championship winning car.. - not sure if the R33 is one of those but id love to see the ice man back with his ice creams LOL!

[dc2r-0636]

haha he didnt seem to motivated to drive in his last season of F1.. hes always angry and never cracks a smile lol but then again thats why hes the ice man lmao.

hey bro what site do you use to look up f1 news ?

I'd like to see Kimi back but he ain't a cheap driver and he wants a championship car. Heidfeld would be ok at Lotus Renault... I'm glad ING pulled out as main sponsor, no more ugly ass livery!

Yeah so far it looks like Heinfield will be replacing Kubica.. will be good to see him back in a competitive car this year (if he confirms the drive)

lol @ ING.. they stopped being a sponsor at the end of 2009 i think.. the livery for renault last year was mad i thought haha..
