Well I had the fortune of a day at the Williams F1 Centre on Friday.

Wow, wow and wow, that's all I can say.

The museum with all the Williams cars through the years and the trophy cabinet was amazing along with the driver helmets.

If anyone gets a chance to go, do it.

So you'd stop watching a sport based on who show's it?? Are you actually a F1 fan then?? :p:

Yes because adverts during a race ruin it, there are many sports I love but they don't get any TV coverage.

Pirelli reveals Formula 1 tyre-identifying markings

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/9429326.stm

Quote:

For the dry-weather tyres, the logo will be silver on the hard tyre, white on the medium, yellow on the soft and red on the super-soft.
On the full wet tyre it will be orange and on the intermediate light blue.

I missed this bit.

Quote:

The F1 rules dictate that there must be a two-compound gap between the two available types of dry-weather tyres at each race, so there is no chance of the silver and white being confused as the hard and medium tyres will never be used at the same race.

Surely F1 viewing figures and overall popularity has risen over the past few years.

With the rise in technology and the display of these state of the art machines, More younger people are becoming more interested than ever. If they want to balance the books then Drop the crap shows or ITV or Sky will pick up on it.

For years F1 has been on the BBC, but the money grabbing Bernie Ecclestone was offered more money by ITV and they got coverage, but they had adverts every 10 mins.

The Bernie moved it back to he BBC, were I hop it stays.
