  1. Wish I had time to go through all 7 seasons, so been watching some of the recap videos on Youtube.
  2. Looks like F1 is coming to Cape Town! https://www.redbull.com/za-en/events/Red-Bull-Cape-Town-Circuit Ok, only the Red Bull, and for an exhibition, but still!
  3. And it looks like Wiliams might be joining the party today. Nothing like missing 2 and half days of testing, when all you have is 8 before the first race. Also saw reports that in simulations, it looks like the Williams is already 2 secs a lap slower than the rest of the field. Going to be a long year for them.
  4. Ferrari, Torro Rosso and Alfa running similar wing designs. It won't be very easy for Haas to copy the wing design, as it will have a knock on affect to the rest of the aero down the body. Yes, early days in testing, and one shouldn't read to much into it (especially seeing Merc running down the bottom half of the times). But you also can't ignore how dominant Ferrari have been with the lap times, and the lap counts.
  5. Vettel missed the apex and still going 2 secs a lap faster?
  6. Although early days, good start for Ferrari. Most laps completed so far, and nearly 2 sec faster than Merc. Ham will continue the testing for Merc this afternoon, so will see if that makes a difference. And Williams look to miss tomorrow's testing as well.
  7. Mine was covered by hospital plan and gap cover if memory serves me correct. Cost also depends if you go for a local or general anesthetic.
  8. They using a matte paint this year, as apparently it is slightly lighter than gloss. But still looks like a different shade of red
  9. Also from Wikipedia about Ponte: Movies[edit]One of the final shots of the 2009 film District 9 is of the tower.[9]Director Philip Bloom dedicated a documentary film titled Ponte Tower.[10]Ingrid Martens filmed the documentary Africa Shafted: Under one Roof,[11] entirely, over two and a half years, in the Ponte lifts.The skyscraper "Peach Trees" featured in the 2012 South African film Dredd is heavily inspired by Ponte tower.The final scene of the 2014 movie SEAL Team 8: Behind Enemy Lines was shot in this location.One of the scenes of the 2015 movie Chappie was shot in this location.[12]A battle scene was filmed inside the tower for the 2016 movie Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.[13]
  10. Not saying it was the same building, but wasn't that filmed in SA?
  11. All is not right with that team.
  12. 'k
  13. Don't think it is. The windows and door placement don't match. Still cool though
  14. I'm sure I saw something that they are under investigation in Australia for circumventing the no tobacco advertising laws
  15. Yes, aero changes especially to the front and back wings, so that the cars can follow each other closer and hopefully improve overtaking. The front wings are a lot less complex, with less slots and elements.
  16. The Ferrari SF90
  17. Loving these guys at the moment!
  18. As far as I know, it's only Williams that have shown their 2019 livery on their 2018 car. The wheels sizes are the same, just the tyre compounds/colours have changed. Aero also different this year.
  19. Haas and Williams also revealed their liveries. I see Haas's title sponsor, Rich Energy, is being taken to court by Whyte Bikes for copyright infringement of their logo
  20. I'm busy watching it through Kodi. I'm half way through the season and really been enjoying it so far
  21. Some vegans a little pissed with Hyundai over their Super Bowl ad... https://www.businessinsider.co.za/hyundai-sees-vegan-backlash-over-super-bowl-ad-2019-2
  22. Aaaaa, the GIF that keeps on giving...
  23. New take on the Superman origins/ super hero story
