The WINTER boredom thread

Measures the wind turbulence using pedo tubes to measure the air pressure along the plane. Normally done with fighter aircraft and not F1 cars but Red Bull have someone from the aircraft realm in their garage. Ferrari should be poaching engineers from Boeing before Red Bull kicks them around again.

Pitot tubes*

Why MS & Jenson are give odd number cars despite finishing lower than their team mates?

SChumacher is supersitious and doesn't like even numbers.
Why Jenson got the lower number I don't know- but the team is free to decide.:xmasbiggrin:

Ste, you're right buddy! It is pitot tubes... Oops!

Picture of Rene in Valencia with our friend... Wish we would have made it!

I hope Paul Mccartney will come back to the UK for a winter tour around Christmas like last year, that would give me something to look forward to on the horizon but it isn't going to happen! Oh well I've always got exams to look forward to...

It's happening guys! Looks like I'll be having a Wonderful Christmastime with Macca! :xmassmile:

Actually, over at our side of the world, it's summer :xmasbiggrin:

Looking outside, I see the melting snow. Weatherforecast says temps will be dropping again next week and more snow will fall.
My ´76 musclecar is in the garage enjoying its wintersleep. No roaring v8 the coming months for me, just a 4cyl.Toyota......
F1 is quiet...no screaming engines, no overtaking making my heart bounce........
BOOHOO.....I´M SO BORED

I hope the cold weather stays away now so my flight to Liverpool can go ahead!

[Liscia]

Boredom is spelled this way. This post is a sign of just
how bored I am.

[Alonsomaniac]

Flight to Liverpool? Does it matter? There is no Grand Prix in Liverpool this weekend as far as I know.
Besides that, Liverpool is sooooooo boring.........:xmasbiggrin:

[siberianlady]

Aghhhhhh- you guys have time to be bored? I have been snowed in for over a week now- running out of food and my day starts with a mile walk to my car (if i can get the doors open/start the engine.....yeah new battery two days ago did help) then 40 miles to work (takes average 2 hours these days with the twats that persist in doing F1 stunts on the Autobahn........).........good honest days work and then the same in the evening........except in the dark when the wild boar come to greet me in the woods..............sure I'm having a super time!
Merry Christmas to you too!:xmascool:

I live in Uruguay, southern hemisphere, so this is Summer Break for me, spendig all January at the beach in Punta del Este surely shortens the wait for the new season. Just when I return to work the 2011 tests begin, I cannot ask for more....

Alonso got his lucky number! Hope it brings him good luck unlike this year.

MS is superstitious of numbers higher than his team mates

Lewis has No. 3 now

Considering 'pedo' is a slang word for 'fart' in Uruguay/Argentina that was a really funny mistake.....

Just a shame 'pedo' doesn't mean that here!

[RockyRaccoon]

Just watched China '06 and I can only imagine the different emotions that must have been felt on here that day compared to how I felt!!

Schumi really was a beast back in the day, awesome drive from him! One of Alonso's greatest drives too, I had forgotten about the pit stop error that cost him the race, I had only remembered about the bad tyre choice.

[pilotHans]

here there's no winter......never seen snow here....only some tropical monsoon where it rains nearly everyday...gosh, its so hard to keep my car clean :p

p/s like the comments from The_Dohnut :p high five to u......

I'm considering going to Barcelone for a weekend in Feb and catching some winter testing. Has anyone ever been, is it any good?

[Suzie]

Not been, but going this year

[racingbradley]

Some action will be good.

I live near the track and YES, is good to go, a few years before was boring, but now with the testing ban, you can see a lot of "action" all the time
