Gorgoroth_72's BLOG

I'm think i will have to admit that my stay here at Bitcomet Blog-community have been as fun as i believe it is possible to get it.

But, i have honestly began to get really tired of how slow the pages load, an even, not to bash you all in the head, but all those flashing and blinking and jumping pages gives me headache.

So, i will continue to write my blogs, but not at this site. You are all welcome to come and visit me over at Bjorn's Racingblog over at my.opera.com.

I'll maybe get over here to see how you all are.

Sorry for that my stay became so short lived.

Se you all, take care.

Well, after i have done a little followup on my last blog, where i wrote a little about what i think should be done about Formula One and the fact that it's current money-eating structure, some new facts have come up.

I found out that next year there's going to be some new rules about the aerodynamics, more particularily about the wings. There are indications that, as i wished for, are going to be some substatial cuts in how many and how large wings there are going to be allowed. All those small winglets are supposedly also going to get the boot.

That's really good news, if you ask me. All those small add-on's are more dangerous than they are effective. Just think about Kovalainen's crash last weekend. Nose first inte the tirebarrier. With a little less luck than what he had, one of those little wings on the nose could just have slided along the front of the car and cut him really bad. So, therefore it have also become an issue on safety.

One......

It seems to me that F1 is a business on the rout for extinction.

In the last six months we have got to know that STR(Scuderia Toro Rosso, RedBull Racing's junior team) is about to loose it's backing from  Dietrich Mateschitz, the man behind the whole Red Bull franchise.

Then, who knows when, but it seems certain that Super Aguri also is on the same rout. So, by the end of the year we could be down to a "circus" of only 9 or 10 teams. All this is due to FIA banning the use of customer cars.

What that means is that no team is allowed to enter F1 using a Chassis and an engine from an excisting team. This is also the reason why ProDrive did not enter this season.

As far as i can se, customer cars might be the only way to keep F1 going. After Super Aguri and STR are gone, all it takes is that both Toyota and Renault makes their current threats of withdrawal from the sport come true, and F1 will be so small that it will look just as DTM but with......

   I'm sorry for not posting so much this week.

I would really like to fill your appetite for some of the mysteries and other happenings in the world of F1. I guess i just ran out of steam after going out hard, and burning of my worst headache with the Max Mosely-post.

But this week i have collected some more fire, and now i'm ready to shoot again. I have read all over the internet about editors, reporters and bloggers who allready after just four races into the season is trying toi do the impossible and say who will win, who will get sacked and wich team will prevail all through the season. This kind of stuff don't get me, i really don't care. I'm here to watch it all, from the beginnig of the first lap, and til the end of the last lap in the season.

And is things going to continue down the road it have gone this far,  this season will overshadow last season by lightyears. I actually think that after Barcelona this weekend, things will begin......

I am sincirely sorry for having to write this post, but i just have to take this matter up. It is driving me crazy.

It have been all over the news for the latest weeks, and i think we all have been given more knowledge about the matter than we really would like to.

Even this post is about realizing the reality, i think, but in a wholy different way than my previous post.

This as about Max Mozley.

I really would like the guy to just dissapear from the face of the earth. His acts in that cellar with the hookers was just the tip of the iceberg. Of course Max have been one of the ingredients to make F1 to what it is today, but he is also the factor that made F1 almost split into two halves two years ago. His working methods have always been a mystery, always starting the season laying up a couple of new and breathtakingly hars rules or regulations. Lets just take last years engine-freeze-rule for an instance.

Starting out with sugesting to freeze the developmen......

Nope, i'm not apologizing because of my previous posts. I'm merely apologizing because of my bad spelling last night. While watching the hockeygame, i had a six-pack of beer, and then decided to write the post. Hence the bad spelling. Sorry.

And now on to todays subject.

I'm not one to report the news to you, those are to be found on the sites in my link-collection. I'm here to write because i love the sport, and feel i have to make my voice heard some how.

I might not be the nicest guy in my posts or replies, but i am always going to be honest with what i think. No lies told, no lies that i will have to keep in mind when giving replies.

So, now it's up to you, put up with me, and i promise i will give you my honest thoughts about anything that comes across my mind.

What do you want to discuss? What's your passion?

Come on!! I won't bite...

This might sound as a quite reasonable conclusion, but i feel it is really important for a driver to know his limits and to know when he has run out of steam and is no longer in the race for any points of if he will ever have any chanse to become a champion.

This certainly is the point with David Coulthard. He has been living on his vast knowledge about F1 for some yoears now, and Redbull Racing has kept him in the team because they needed someone who could share that information with them. This season he hasent done anything godd on the track except beeing in the way of his competitors, and i really think he should resign to from racing.

It is something to have alot of experience, wich he has more than even Michael Shumacher, and he certainly is the oldest driver on the grid. To have the ability ti keep on racing for all those years, have to be commended, but when he has nothin more to give i think he should be that insightful and admit it. There's......

Myself i have always kept to McLaren as my favorite team. I like the way they are managed, and the profile they have towards their fans. It certainly is the most fancy team on the grid, with good looking clothes, a nice colourscheme that goes all the way through the team, clean and well planned boothinterior. The fact that they always seem to be able to keep on beeing amongst the top teams each and every season could also be seen as a factor in my choise.

But the most important one is that they are a team that always seem to be able to attract the best drivers. By that i don't nevessarily mean the fastest, but always the most consistent. With McLaren you can always feel confident in that they will deliver, in one way or another.

If we start talking drivers, my choise has always been Raikkonnen. I just love his style, always keeping to his own, and never talking shit. When he says something, you can consider it beeing the truth. Atleast as much he is allowed to in the contract......

Chapter One

I actually don't know if there's going to be anything beyond chapter one, but i just wanted to catch your attention a bit, so you actually would take a look. So now, when you're here, i thought i might tell you a bit about my burning interest in F1.

This started out about fifteen or twenty years ago, depending on if i talk about casualy or regularly watching it on tv. I have never been to a race, but that is a drean that is going to be realized in a not to distant future. Anyway, i fell in love with it from the first race i watched. At the time there was Saubers (now BMW), Benetton (now Renault) and Jordan (now Force India). There was V10 engines, roaring out incredible power. Of course todays engines have just as much horsepower, but the torque of those engines was just incredible. And they never revved higher than 15000 rpm.

Todays F1 is very much about tweeking the small things to earn tenths of a second on a lap. But twenty......
