rebourne Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Was on a conference all weekend so no race for me. I have it, if you want it. Sky coverage. Wasn't a bad race. Had some drama. If the rain had really come it would have been a total game changer in the result, I think. I wasn't as teary eye'd about Alonso's last race as I was about Masa's. Nice seeing Vandoorne finally get his elbows out. Crazy that only two teams are keeping their line up for next year! pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 That was entertaining, Nils. I wish Gprdon went to Indy Cars or F1. Remember his car trade with Montoya? F1 for stock car at Watkins Glen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmP6889928 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Start with this video and there are similar videos for every year of F1 racing. Each one is about an hour long. Incredible footage with driver interviews and each video recaps the entire year with points and each race finish. You will be addicted, I know I am. I've watched them a lot of times and they are superb. There are F1 videos all the way back to the 1950's but they are in a foreign language, but they are definitely worth watching too. Amazing how fast those cars were with skinny treaded tires and no safety features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_P8xbwGh8M&t=617s You will NOT regret clicking on this link and you'll enjoy a lot of hours of seeing some amazing cars like the 6 wheel Tyrrel, the first JPS Lotus wing cars, and the points battle between Niki Lauda and James Hunt. Truly excellent. IF YOU CLICKED ON THE LINK I HAD BEFORE, IT WAS FOR 1980. THIS LINK IS FOR 1970-START HERE NOW. SORRY ABOUT THAT MISTAKE.

tytek Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I'm so excited that I might have to go to Canada or Austin this year. Let me know what you decide to do. If I am stateside, I may go to one of those as well. It would be cool to meet either in Montreal or in Texas, as I have not yet been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I, too, might just be enticed into going to one or both. Let's start a thread and see who might be able to make it to one or both. It would be very cool to have a bunch of LGT members show up at a race together and have our own meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Do we want him back? Maybe not. Of the trio Alonso, Kimi and Kubica I'd say that Kimi and Kubica both do their lessons and don't complain much (aside from Kimi-isms over the radio like "I know what I'm doing", but that's why we love him) and try too do the best they can with the stuff they have. Alonso seems to complain a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Alonso reminds me of 70s driver Chris Amon somewhat. He was championship material but could not make a good choice of teams to save his life. All the other drivers respected and feared his speed but he never won. Alonso is like that. He hasn't been in a competitive car in so many years. If McLaren is fast in 2020, I'd love to see him driving it . Hopefully he wouldn't be a prima donna again. And I'd love to see McLaren (and Williams) near the front again. But I doubt McLaren can get that competitive enough by 2020 to draw Fred back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Chris Amon-always wicked fast in everything he ever drove, but the unluckiest man in racing. If he had been able to secure a solid ride with Ferrari or Tyrrell, the history of F1 would have been different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Another racing driver with somewhat of a bad luck was Gunnar Nilsson. He passed away just one month after Ronnie Peterson, but from cancer. He had quite a "hit and miss" career. 31 starts, 17 DNFs, 1 win (on Zolder in rain), 4 podiums and 1 fastest lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he wasn't the Super Swede. Mario said Ronnie could've beat him so numerous times in 78 but he obeyed team orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
