Hi-De-Hi my little men.

LINDA F, #53, could not have said it better­ myself!!!!!!

I am not a big fan of Alonso, but I totally agree with­ him. What is going to separate F1 from the rest of­ motorsports if this happens. It's bad enough that­ we lost North America races and he (Bernie) wants to­ turn the championship into a medal race, and now he­ wants to start messing with the engines of F1 race­ cars. When does all this nonsense with Bernie and the­ FIA stop. If the FIA and Bernie wants to broaden there­ fan base this is not the way to due it.

Slim Jim, in your post you said:
"Slim ( a­ McLarens fan )"
a MacLarens fan - Tut Tut Jim.

From 1967 until 1982 or so, most of the cars on the F1­ grid were powered by the Cosworth DFV or DFY engine,­ and there was superb racing throughout this period. The­ boffins will all work their magic and car chassis and­ aerodynamics will all be different, so there will still­ be excellent F1 racing in the future. If the current F1­ engines from all the manufacturers were on the test­ bed, they would all be giving out around the seven­ hundred horsepower mark, give or take a few horses here­ and there. They are so expensive, that's the­ problem here, two million pounds for each engine,­ that's unsustainable in today's world. Sense­ will prevail in the end, and we all would love F1 to­ continue in its most exciting form.

ref post 30 ... hey bill .. just what's your issue­ with my grammar or sp.

Standard engines???? there is no constructors­ competition with that, the pilots are going to be like­ f***ing robots .....what is happening to F1??? for that­ case us in Europe should go to America and watch­ NASCAR.....maybe it gets more interesting.......if not­ just stick to watching the Tom Cruise­ movie.......lol.....

IF standard engines were brought in it would be­ good.
At the moment the drivers title is heavily­ influenced by the car.
Over the last 2 years I'd­ say that McClaren has been the best car, not always the­ quickest, but far more reliable than the ferrari.

A­ few drivers won't like it, as they think they are­ so good they should have an advantage over the­ others.

It will level the playing field a little, so­ it would be interesting, however it could also be the­ pits. No one really having a speed advanatage,­ obviously they could have grip advantage, could cause­ less overtaking.

But then again I am not a mechanic,­ so don't hang me for that.

Alonso is thoroughly right and by the way a very worthy­ superb driver-champion contrary to the twisted demonic­ opinion of many backstabbers jealous and pathetic­ losers around.
It's about going backwards with­ this nonesense of a standard engine introduction and­ depriving the car of any electronic aims to make it­ more competitive though there are limitations to what a­ driver can do to make the car more driveable and­ faster.
Of course we do not want to see dummies on an­ auto pilot control but to see those superb skills that­ make all drivers different mentally and physically­ under different conditions.

Chris T, you've started taking your tablets again,­ welcome back to the world of the sane mate. I am trying­ to make it too!

Hey, stop blaming Fernando! He's right. F1 is all­ about innovation, including in electronics. But­ removing the electronic aid and introducing a­ standardized engines are two completely different­ things. Perhaps, in the future, the F1 races will take­ place on a computer, and world champions will be no­ older than 12. There are solutions, but people­ (Bernie&Max) can't see them. The best is the­ system used in DTM. But, I must say it again, F1 will­ not be F1 anymore without constant improuvement and­ innovation.

It would be a shame to see a single source supplier. F1­ is about drivers and the teams. The manufacturers will­ be scared off if spanky and his mates get their way.­
It would also be a shame to see the back of Alonso,­ even if he likes to bite the hand that feeds him, as I­ reckon he's the most complete driver in F1 at the­ moment.
However, this is probably just him being­ misquoted by our dear media dogs. Where else is he­ going to do what he loves and earn shed loads of cash?

I have it from a reliable source that Touron is­ actually a Formula 1 fan rather than a Ferrari fan.­ He's just writing this nonsense in order to make­ Ferrari fans look stupid- which of course we know they­ are not.
You can't fool us any more Touron. I got­ it straight from the horse's.
A bloke I know from­ Woking told me.

Oooooohhh... im soooo scared and we gonna miss you­ sooooo much... If thats wht you r thinking, you are an­ absolute @#$%.. you are not the only F1 driver on the­ track idiot.

2.)McLaren? Ferrari,Alo are saying they will quit where­ do the rest stand on this Thiessen and Briatore?Fota­ have made a snap decision and should think again.

Ber.nie should quit and give his job to beutiful Pet.ra­ !

1.)Single motors no way,F1 will be clonised and­ controlled by the short controller and only under 20­ year olds on low pay will be driving.

Typical Alonso moaning yet again - cars without­ electronic aids ! I thought the best drivers should win­ without traction control et- that'sd called skill.­ I have to say however that A1 GP is far more exciting­ that F1 these days - until they remove the jokers that­ are Bernie and Max F1 will continue to slide­ depressingly downhill.

he should get his @#$% out the pool! a loser, a cheat­ and not required in the world of F1

Actually SS_A9X I don't think fools like Toury do­ realise that.
