Just so everyone knows, I'm feeling under the weather and probably won't be posting until tomorrow or even Monday. Unless it's one of those short things then I might be back sooner.

I've just "resurrected" this thread, looks like one of the officers un-sticked for some reason.

Anyway, let's keep this topic alive. :)

And to answer your question kipi:

David Coulthard became Damon Hill's team-mate after Senna died in 1994. DC was a test driver for Williams-Renault in 1994, but following Senna's tragic death, DC was promoted to the 2nd driver position. Yet, he had to to step aside 3 or 4 times for Nigel Mansell (who was driving Indycars at that time) because Williams-Renault wanted a big name to fill the 2nd driver's position and Mansell was the solution. But in 1995, DC became the full-time 2nd driver in Williams alongside with Damon Hill.

This gave me the idea to start a "Ask any question about Formula One" thread; where members can ask anything about Formula One and get answers.

Well I'm back from disappearing for a while. Sorry about that, I got promoted in another big union and had A LOT of pressure on me to perform, with time passed on that I am back now.

What happened to the union banner?

Steve Irwin killed.

I never really watched his shows that often, but he was enjoyable to watch and my best wishes go out to his family.

I'm 100% sure that there's something wrong with the level system in the union (again!). There was clearly a problem for the past few weeks and we were stuck at level 4 with 7%, but apparently they fixed the system and now we are level 4 with 11%. 11% only?! There have been so much activity in the union lately that we should be around level 5 now!!! When are they going to make a decent level system fo rthe union?! :( By the way, congrats everyone for the new "Battalion embelem". :)

Did any1 catch the GP2 race at monza? it was fantastic. the only thing i didnt like was the fact the ITV DIDNT show the whole race and James Allen was commentating on his own and he sounded bored......even though the race had some amazing action. And congratulations to lewis hamilton on winning the title (in his first year i might add)

Anyone want to do a BTCC game on BATracer? I've never played that particular series, but I adapted quickly to both the A1GP & V8 when I first tried them, so a experienced partner would be preferable though I would take a new player. Just PM me to make sure we are online at the same time and you can start the team if you want.

this video gives a good description of what happened and the full conference

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whG8sDcrMG0

basically schumi was told a marschal had died and equalling senna's win record was also very emotional for him.....

I think that his mother died a few days before the GP, and that's why he was emotional.

"I think that his mother died a few days before the GP, and that's why he was emotional."

His mum died on the day of the 2003 San Marino GP, just to clear that up.

ok heres a riddle for every1 8)

A black dog stands in the middle of an intersecton in a town painted black. None of the street lights are working due to a power failure caused by a storm. A car with two broken headlights drives towards the dog but turns in time to avoid hitting him. How could the driver have seen the dog in time?
