Bill B. commented on the post, Unhappy Vettel refuses to explain "speak after" comment 3 years, 1 month ago
As great a driver as Sebastian Vettel is, I find it a bit sad that at 31 he still hasn’t and now probably never will be able to view special moments like yesterday’s three driver breaking of Juan Pablo Montoya’s […]
Bill B. started the topic Danica Patrick – I'd Love to See Her Backing Driving Indy Cars in the forum IndyCar 4 years ago
I said at the time she left for NASCAR that it was a big mistake. I would love to see her back driving Indy cars. Failing at NASCAR is no indicator of talent. Juan Pablo Montoya struggled to finish better than mid-pack, yet at Daytona for the 24 hour sports car race, he was as fast as ever, and we know he did the same returning to Indy. So, unless…[Read more]
Bill B. commented on the post, Who should Mercedes hire to replace Rosberg? 4 years, 10 months ago
Fernando Alonso
In evenly matched cars I still rate him # 1. But, the clock is ticking and if Fernando is to have one more shot at the title and WE are to have the privilege of watching a driver of Alonso’s […]
Bill B. started the topic I've Got It – Let's Dump The Most Exciting Qualifying Format in Racing ! in the forum Formula One 5 years, 7 months ago
I watched it and I still don’t believe what I saw. Can anyone explain why Bernie and His Band of Fools or whomever made the decision to change the most exciting and dramatic qualifying format of any in world motorsport actually thought this FARCE would be anything but astonishingly horrible? New Coke was a master stroke compared to this collective…[Read more]
Bill B. commented on the post, New exhaust rules to increase noise in 2016 6 years ago
I was drawn to motor racing by the sounds and smells….I can still hear the sound the Ferrari V-12’s made exiting Tertre Rouge onto the 3. 5 mile Mulsanne Straight. Each up shift echoing off the trees….WHHHAAAA […]

Bill B. replied to the topic If you replaced Bernie Ecclestone what would you do with F1? in the forum Formula One 6 years, 11 months ago
1. Engine Sound – Do whatever is needed – (bye bye KERS and all the techno/garbage gimmicks Bernie has forced on us) to insure an immediate return to the 18,000 to 20,000 rev scream of a Formula 1 engine.
2. Thank NBC’s David Hobbs, Leigh Diffey and Will Buxton for outstanding work under trying conditions and wish them well in 2015.
3. Re: the…[Read more]
Bill B. commented on the post, F1 possible at Long Beach – promoter 7 years, 7 months ago
I can see where Pook’s figure of only $9 million might be right. The Long Beach circuit of 2014 is a short, contrived and totally underwhelming piece of crap, so, adding a few run off areas couldn’t be that […]
Bill B. replied to the forum topic I’ve had enough of Steve Matchett in the group F1 8 years, 1 month ago
Lee Diffey is a pro, I like the sound Bob Varsha’s voice more, but of course what’s being said is what’s most important. I do think Steve Matchett’s technical chops are up to date, and his enthusiasm is a […]
Bill B. started the forum topic I’ve had enough of Steve Matchett in the group F1 8 years, 1 month ago
For the Italian GP we had Mario Andretti commenting or trying to for the entire race. Mario sounded like he was up for the experience and there could have been a whole host of subjects explored and developed by […]
Bill B. commented on the post, Tyre explosions caused by "something new" – Pirelli 8 years, 3 months ago
Perfectly put. Remember 2005 at Indianapolis when Michelin had to admit its tires couldn’t handle turn 13 and subsequently seven teams failed to race? What would Pirelli have done? Maybe, it depends on what […]

Bill B. commented on the post, Alonso and Hamilton 'would have done the same as Vettel' – Horner 8 years, 6 months ago
I’ve never liked the concept of Team Orders, but what’s more irritating is when someone like Christian Horner thinks he can run any kind of jive drivel by us with the expectation we’ll all react like a pack of […]
