love the customs! yeah i've used CK-models before, that's where i got the Schumacher Jordan and Spa Mercedes from a few pages earlier. have you noticed the 1:18 Alesi Benetton Taxi uses the incorrect Benetton B195. the 1:43 is correct, with the early season engine cover shape, like my B195 above. The 1:18 uses the late season version that is smooth without the broken disjointedby Muks_C - Off-Topic
i'd only seen photos of the 1:43 Minichamps MS Brazil 2012 model until now (below) and i had to google what your model was Karan, didn't know Minichamps did a 1:18 and that it looked like that. i'll probably just get the 1:43 version.by Muks_C - Off-Topic
show us! forgot to show this, got it a few months ago:by Muks_C - Off-Topic
got a couple of new ones for the collection: Alonso R27 only used for a test day when he returned to Renault, while the R28 wasn't ready: The first race of '95, when Schu and DC were disqualified from 1st and 2nd for fuel irregularities, and were then reinstated following appeal: needs to be converted to Mild Seven, i may do it. Shame they didnby Muks_C - Off-Topic
this whole situation is heartbreaking for all of us who follow F1, and in particular for those of us who have worshipped Michael through the years. Like others have said, Michael was F1 for me and my first hero in sport, as i unfortunately missed the Senna era. This may sound weird, but i've always dreaded the day we would hear news like about his accident. When people are doing their spby Muks_C - F1
Massa can't complain: screenshots from one of the incidents they showed in the coverage and in the BBC red button forum show. the car behind even kept at least 2 wheels on the correct side of the line. the critical part is the hatched/criss-cross bit, which they were told not to go over with all 4 wheels. i think he thinks he should be immune from penalties because this racby Muks_C - F1
boring race, came alive in the last 15 laps, the last 5 were very exciting with close racing.by Muks_C - F1
saw it last saturday and thought it was great too. it managed to have heart and passion, in a way that is usually messed up when americans do racing movies (Driven, for example, which just became cheesey, thank god it wasnt about F1 in the end, as it was originally intended to be). Bruhl will surely be up for some awards, his voice and acting as Lauda was excellent. Hemsworth doesn't lby Muks_C - Off-Topic
exactly my point Morbid. Alonso's manager being seen publicly with a rival team manager, and Alonso himself denying the meeting is pure publicity from those 2 guys, to give Ferrari a kick up the butt. I'm surprised it even got 1cm of column inches or 1 minute of media airtime, and wasn't instantly dismissed as gossip/rumour that has very little or no basis to it whatsoever. i feltby Muks_C - F1
Alonso to Red Bull seems like the biggest non-story of the year to me. His manager was probably discussing Sainz Jr, as has been mentioned already, and as Alonso has become more critical of Ferrari's performance, his manager chatting with other team managers is a little message to the media and his own Ferrari team that he could go elsewhere if they don't pull their fingers out, itby Muks_C - F1
hi all. finally got a shelf to display my models on, and as i was unpacking i was surprised at just how many i have!! (approx. 80 1:43 Minichamps ) there are a few i want to sell so will photograph and give details later some time.by Muks_C - Off-Topic
if you saw the Christian Horner interview on the F1 Channel, he explains it. IWE is correct, multi 21 means car 2 finishes in front of car 1, and they also have multi 12, car 1 is supposed to finish in front of car 2. simple. therefore Seb has no reason to say he didn't understand or didn't know what he was supposed to do. he deliberately chose to go against team orders and fight forby Muks_C - F1
i'd like to see a video of the post-race press conference, but for now here's the transcript if you haven't already read it: Click and if you haven't seen Christian Horner's interview on the F1 Channel, here it is, and he explaines Multi 21 in case you don't already know what it means:by Muks_C - F1
while i'm not a vettel fan, i have respect for him deliberately disobeying team orders to take the win. but i lose respect for him for him lying about it though. i don't like this false sadness that both he and Lewis IMO displayed. you're racing drivers who are supposed to be ruthless and want to win every point or position. it looks very pussy-like of them to both say their teammaby Muks_C - F1
haha Helmut Marko saying it's not like at Mercedes where they have a clear no.1 and no.2! Seb and Mark having a word in the back.by Muks_C - F1
ooo, needle from Mark. "Seb makes his own decisions and gets protected as usual"by Muks_C - F1
"multi 21", code for hold station?by Muks_C - F1
Nico is being very petulent! Ross telling him off again! Nico's asking for the pace to be increased. Ross saying there's a big gap behind and nothing to gain in front, just bring the cars home.by Muks_C - F1
haha Vettel, "Mark is too slow, get him out of the way"by Muks_C - F1
Lewis stopped at McLaren's garage, haha!by Muks_C - F1
just gifted an easy 1-2 to Red Bull, surely? fundamental cock-up there not to change the wing. yes it would have been too early for dry tyres at the same stop but you've got to be in the race at least. even a few points today could prove crucial at the end of the season.by Muks_C - F1
good start but damn it 'Nando, damaged wing!by Muks_C - F1
yeah good race, lots of action and a good result!by Muks_C - F1
woohoo 2013 is GO!! man i'm tired as i stayed up for Q2 & Q3 then went to bed then got up just for the race start. ignored the Sky pre-show, will watch the re-run.by Muks_C - F1
finally bought a 1:18 Minichamps '97 F310B, one of my most favourite cars ever. the box is a bit tatty and the model was covered in dust, looks like it was displayed out of the box. but i've cleaned it and it's all intact. camera flash makes it look orange. am gonna convert it to Marlboro and then it'll look sweet. I want to get aby Muks_C - Off-Topic
not read this thread since sunday i think, but i can imagine the arguments that have gone on. if there was something potentially illegal, it needed to be investigated. it was investigated and found to be legal, so that's fine, let's move on. congrats to red bull and seb. i like sniffpetrol's follow up: clickby Muks_C - F1
