Formula 1 2013

[djr81]

Got half way through the race. So far Romain has raced like a champion resisting Hamo. I am waiting for him to faulter. Hulk is doing a good job but it doesnt look like the guys behind him are much faster (Well at least Alonso doesnt appear quicker) and Kimi and Webber just lining him up.

But...reason for the post...anyone seen Rish yet? I saw it in gold class last night and its worth a watch. Tells the story semi close to what I understand it....but still very Hollywood with inability to film a farking car with a steady farking camera!

Second half of the race is better than the first. Not seen the film but I here it is almost as good as Driven? Winning.

Nothing is as good as Driven!

[Scottydoo]

I've seen Rush, yep worth seeing. I do hate how they always film cars with shakey as though. Doesn't take away from the movie too much.

Nothing is as good as Driven!

lol, what was that crap film a ways back with C grade acting and kind of hot tart that was once a tart off some part something crap show....stay with me....the take away was some filthy rish middle east fella backed the film and used all his own cars in the filming of it. Only for that black comedian to bin his Fezz during filming...

Phew...that was SO CRAP I Watched about 4 mins of it and turned it off!!!!

[sh@un]

an average viewer rating of 4.3 on IMDb suggests you are correct

[dezz]

I enjoyed Rush

[levinboy]

Rush was good would see again

...mmmm Olivia Wilde!

Driven was the Stallone movie Roy, I know the one that you are talking about but can't remember the name of it.

A friend of mine worked for Village Roadshow at the time that Driven came out, and lent me a copy to get my feed back prior to them picking up the distribution rights, I said that it was crap and that people into racing wouldn't want to see it, other than as a comedy, and others wouldn't get it. However, the person who had the final say on the rights was a big Stallone fan and believed that he would be a big enough draw card to make the movie a success...

[Roy]

Ah, this is back when Stallone wanted to make an F1 movie and Bernie wouldnt let him...so he ended up doing a Days of Thunder in Indycars Complete with Indycar race to the pub after dinner through the streets I had completely forgotten about that stinker

Former Marussia test driver Maria de Villota has been found dead in a hotel room in Seville, Spain.

The 33-year-old Spaniard's family broke the news on her Facebook page on Friday morning.

"Dear friends, Maria has gone," read the message. "She had to go to heaven like all the angels.

"We thank God for the extra year and a half that He left her with us."

De Villota was reportedly in Seville this week to launch her autobiography "Life is a gift."

She wrote the book after suffering life-changing injuries in a testing crash with Marussia last year.

De Villota sustained a serious head injury and also lost her right eye.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Jules Bianchi says his elbow "got stuck between the chassis and the seat" causing his crash in first practice in Japan.

"My elbow got stuck between the chassis and the seat so when I had the oversteer moment, I could not turn right any more," he explained.

"I am okay now, I had some pain in the elbow, but now I'm fine."

When the team inspected the chassis of his MR02 following its return to the pits, that they would not be able to repair the damage caused in time for the afternoon session.

Instead they will build up their spare chassis and the Frenchman will return to the cockpit on Saturday morning in Practice Three.

one for roy.

Heikki Kovalainen says he's ready to return to Formula One after once again showing Caterham what he's got in a Friday practice.

The Finnish driver was in action for the team at the Suzuka circuit on Friday morning and covered 22 laps with a best time of 1:37.595.

His time put him half a second up on race driver Giedo van der Garde.

Kovalainen, though, has yet to learn whether he'll be back on the grid next season and is not willing to speculate about his chances.

"The negotiations are going well," the Finn told the BBC.

"Caterham know what they get from me. They just need to decide what they want to do.

"I feel like I'm up for it and ready to go for next year."

But, he added, "it's difficult to speculate whether or not I have a chance."

I suspect Alan Jones would give Kovalainen a run for his money...
