"The most important thing first: thanks God, all news concerning Felipe are positive. I wish him all the best again.
I was meeting this afternoon with Stefano Domenicali and Luca di Montezemolo and together we decided that I will prepare myself to take the place of Felipe. Though it is true that the chapter Formula 1 has been closed

F1 Just a thought - What about Sato or Davidson? Are they driving in other series at the moment? I don't think either of them would be that bad choice, if for some reason Ferrari doesn't want to use their test drivers.

He said for a finnish tv interviewer afterwards, that the kers started working after the formation lap. In same interview he also said that he couldn't see the starting lights on the grid because the rearwings on other cars blocked his view, he had to look when othe

Off-Topic It's completely voluntary in here too.
They say if they gave money for donators, that would make people to give away blood only because they get money for it, and that would make quality of the donated blood worse. Then people would give false answers to pre donation test questions, to be able to donate even though they actually wouldn't be eligible.
It's actually a law here tha

Off-Topic Are there any blood donators on this forum?
I just yesterday donated blood for the first time. I had been thinking for a long about going to donate blood, but never actually made the final decision. Sometimes when I had a possibility to donate I had a cold or something else that prevented me for donating, and sometimes I was just too lazy.
Then yesterday morning I promised to myself that I

Rosberg said after the session that turn 3 was very hard to drive. The sun was apparently on so low, that drivers couldn't see the track on that corner.

F1 So do you have to use winter tires by the law there? Or are they just recommended, but not mandatory?
Where I live winter tires are actually mandatory for December, January, February and March, but we have snow around only for about 5 or 6 months.

Off-Topic Why do you want 16:9? You lose quite much desktop space with it compared to 16:10.
I bought myself a 24" monitor half a month ago, and I was too debating bethween those two aspect ratios. Then I decided 16:10 is way to go for me, because although I watch videos quite much, I would have still lost too much usability in other use with 16:9.
I ended up buying Benq G2400WD, which according
