Arnoux and villeneuve...

Motorsport IS dangerous. You can't put safety first over an extent or it will become just a parade as you said, or some "regularity" event or how they're called in english!

That's also why I like undercar aerodynamics more than the various wing setups. The whole "the following car has no grip because of the turbulence" problem is solved.

The blown diffuser was a result of that. it worked great for red bull and their flex front wing made the car superior to the rest of the field. I'm very interested to see how they will cope without it next year.

It's already the New Year in the East and soon to be in the rest of the world. And, maybe my last post in this thread, I bring you: The top 20 F1 stories of 2011

From the early days of Formula 1 pre-season excitement, through Sebastian Vettel's dominant campaign, and the end of year reflections, AUTOSPORT was there at every step of the way to deliver the news as it happened.

And amid the more than 8000 articles published on our website over the course of the season, there were some that stand out as defining the stories of 2011 - with notable news moments, such as F1 car launches and Robert Kubica's horrific rally crash, attracting record-breaking audiences.

2012 predictions. Alonso world champion. Hamilton vice champion. And hopefully a few podiums with at least 1 win for Schumacher.
