Re: F1 thread.
If it's any help, the official site is http://www.f1-vlc.com/ . As for the best place to sit or how noisy it will be, the circuit is in the process of being built still, and as there has never been a race there before, it is hard to tell!
However, I live about 6km from the Riccardo Tormo circuit at Cheste where the F1 teams do some testing before the season starts, and lets just say it is quite obvious when they are there, as the noise is unbelieveable!
Regards
Tim

I would doubt it but nothing would suprise me, I would hope for a less biassed season towards the ITV Favoured Lewis Hamilton

Re: F1 thread.
Can you believe we're two races into the season and Alonso is already making innuendos about moving away from Renault ......

Re: F1 thread.
Alonso is better than Kimi and Hamilton, both together. Alonso won 2 World cups with 2 cars, theoretically, inferior to McLaren and Ferrari. Alonso was the one that retired to Schumacher. Alonso remodeled McLaren, he was who spoke with the engineers and the mechanic, with his advice he says how had to be the car, making the most competitive car (McLaren recognized this). The difference is that McLaren thanked this betraying to Alonso (and of course, with the English media (that has a special fixation for Spain) always against him and the spanish fan ), a man 2 times champion of the world, favoring to Hamilton, a baby pilot (and this I has listened of mouth of many Englishmen). And even this way, Alonso almost it wins his third World cup
Now the luck has abandoned him again, because its Renault is a slow car. I don't worry about the life of the millionaires, Spaniards or foreign, and I don't have affection to Alonso (because he has never given it), but if I have recognition to him, because at the moment he is the best pilot of the F 1. And has more merit, because he has been champion with two cars that, and like I have already said, in theory were inferior to McLaren and Ferrari
Maybe he don't win this year, but it is noticed in his face that he is more happier and more relaxed that the humiliation that passed in McLaren

Not only beaten but convincingly
Alonso is a talented driver, but to say he is better than the likes of Kimi and Lewis put together is completely

And he is still a Bad Team Player no matter what team he is in. Doesn't deserve the Ride.
