All-purpose open-wheel (F1, IRL) racing thread

Stewards, please, I beg of you...... please don't screw up the results.

 

Crimson, that was just one of several like that this year for F1.

F1 2011 = CART circa 1993. Only current vintage F1 is better.

The DRS rule, KERS and the new tires have all combined to make this series amazing this year.

And the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit, well, it isn't the most famous F1 circuit, it isn't the most glamorous.

But pound-for-pound, it produces the best F1 races on year-to-year basis of any on the calendar.

And its the only one I've driven in my (former) family minivan!

 

No penalty from the stewards. Button's win stands.

There's only 2,303 reasons to hate Bernie?

 

I didn't realize Bernie was doing Sheryl Crow in the late 1980s.

 

WSJ story said she wanted to downsize. What did she own before, Puerto Rico?

 

Good Nationwide series races the last couple of years too, though that's checkers compared to F1 chess.

 

Paris Hilton's dad will do pretty well with his "double dip" commissions:

 

Technically, it's open wheel.

And funny as hell...

Great stuff!

 

The guy with the yellow helmet in particular cracks me up. Great find!
