This will be a general purpose thread for F1 news and pings that really don't require a thread of their own.
Interesting. Sounds like a “jobs program” for engineers and software folks.
pretty much, just damn...
nice. Wonder if we’ll have the super-amazing disentigrating tires or if we’ll get to race in 2014.
it'd be nice not having to race the tires, what a concept...
Which makes the whole ‘cost-control’ reasoning for not allowing in-season testing pretty much ... idiotic.
100%!!!
Great article, Charlie. Thanks for posting.
hey stranger, long time no see... how ya doin??? i want a signed copy of your latest book with F1 in the plot line, pls let me know the price and where to send the check
hope all is well, FReegards
I think the main question is, will Vettel be as dominant under the new engineering rules? As a Schumacher fan, now I understand what watching F1 must have been like for non-Schumi fans all those years. This season got really mundane at about lap 20 most races, because there just wasn’t any doubt about the outcome.
I still haven’t watched the Brazilian GP on my DVR since I saw the sports news scroller that let me know Vettel won the race.
F1 needs someone to rise up to give Sebastian a run, or my interest will further abate. And, if the cars get as proportionally ugly as they did with the 2008/09 rules changes, it would erode even more so.
i think this is going to by one ugly year all the way round...it's like the FIA is trying to kill F1 off
Hey, Charlie. Haven’t been up that way since we last visited. Just waiting for the USGP to return to Watkins Glen. Just kidding, unfortunately. I wish.
Yep, “Sovereign Order” is the latest and involved a terrorist attack on the Monaco Grand Prix. It’s available in what’s called trade paper (6”x9” - not the small paperback) just about every outlet and as an Ebook on Amazon, etc.
As for signed copies, the best way is to go to the website (www,jamesmacomber.com) and on the checkout page under “Special Instructions” just say “signed copy” and whatever dedication (if any) you want. It’ll be my pleasure.
Thanks. May be up that way in July this year. If so, I’ll be sure to let you know. BTW, what was that ale you recommended in that pub. Good stuff!

OK, will do... and look forward to it!
P.S. the Mysterious Amber is my goto at the Crooked Rooster
So does this now mean a 1 hour race, refueling is back or everybody runs 49kg for a 2 hour race and still have the sample for Post Race?
Somehow I missed this ping till now, been busy but not that busy...
have no idea, must be that new math... i guess you can run a max 100kph for a very short time but i think we might see dnf's due to running out of fuel on a regular basis
God i HATE the FIA!!!
I got it!
3.1415926535897932384626433832795 are Round, Cake are Square.
Now it all makes sense.
Then after everybody runs out of fuel Bernie will call Brainless France to have him decide who "deserved" to win. Just like placing jeffy gordon into the Championship run because he wanted to.
pretty much...
Double points at the final race?
I think Bernie has hired a consultant from Nascar LOL.
LOL, dear God, pls don't give the little prick any ideas...
