Re: Toro Rosso sets F1 pace
So, the driver with the longest name in F1 tops the qualifiers!, funny how when it comes down to the racing itself these guys are invariably bringing up the rear.I suspect most of the top teams don't play their top trumps till race day,just because you've got the best form, doesn't mean your a shoe-in too win, does it?
Re: Toro Rosso sets F1 pace
Relatively, Autocar is doing quite well at reporting F1 at the moment.
I'm a bit peeved that the BBC, which consistently enforces its money-wish-menaces policy in a way that would disturb a Nazi Shield Squadron, is doing almost nothing to bring up-to-date video footage and news of testing.
Autosport TV, without any Licence Fee money, seems to be capable of doing a much better job.
