Strangeness abounds when it comes to testing.......


Are Ferrari really "struggling to understand their car"?

Journalists have been using that line since the first test, when one of the senior Ferrari types used it. I think it was more a reference to the radical design and a bit of a throwaway comment than any serious "What the...?" issue!

Ooooh,

The F1 channel has appeared in my VirginMedia Menu

Channel 516 if anyone is wondering.

Mine too - but I think it's just a "holding" channel, ahead of the new channel going live

Ok its not exactly F1 news but:

KV Racing have announced that veteran racer Rubens Barrichello, who was dropped in favour of Bruno Senna at Williams, will join the team alongside Tony Kanaan for the upcoming IndyCar season.

Sky channel has now come on too channel 408 nothing but a 1 hour loop at the moment though

I think that's really sad. I liked Reubens, he never lived up to expectations but he was a really nice guy (probably why he didn't live up to expectations) He should have announced his retirement (maybe a year ago ) and stepped down with grace rather than see out his years in Indy Surrounded by madmen and wannabe drivers he'll only come a cropper

F1 channel....subscribe or not to subscribe I wish Virgin would come up with a dedicated F1 channel on it's own. i don't want all that other crap but I'd happily pay a tenner or whatever just for F1

New design of Red Bull revealed this morning. There seems to be quite a bit of excitement around it. The times Mark Webber has done though aren't stunningly quick so it'll be interesting to see how it shapes up

Red Bull redesign their 2012 chassis

Are they taking the mickey or did they really have issues?

And should the other teams be worried that RB were already fast anyway before the fairly hefty redesign?

I have my doubts that Adrian Newey has suddenly lost his ability to "see" air flow, so I think I'd be very worried.....

Only one race in Spain from 2013. A shame we'll still have the snooze-fest that is Valencia every other year

Remember folks the F1 Chanel starts tonight at 8.

£22.50 to add it to my Virgin package and it's NOT HD BBC it is for me this year.

Just finished watching the Senna movie, christ I hope it's a safe season. Saying that I don't mind watching the odd webber flip, just as long as everybody walks away from it

Am I missing something? I can currently get the f1 channel despite my basic subscription not including sports or hd. Will this just disappear once the action starts?

I think Sky are doing a freebie at the start.... maybe take up has been slow!

Gotta say, the Sky dedicated channel looks great to me
