F1- Formula One Fans!

If you really want to get into some of the crazy stuff that they do in F1, here's some good sources of information from one of the best (IMO) armchair analysts in the sport, Craig Scarborough.

On the basic level for those getting into the sport (like yourself) he has some writeups on this site: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] explaining all of the general characteristics in relatively laymans terms.

And when it gets to the more advanced stuff, there's his proper blog www.scarbsf1.com which has incredibly detailed analysis of race-to-race aero changes, as well as a yearly rules analysis and other fun information.

Enjoy!
Thanks, I'm totally going to read that. I love all the technology, and it's an exciting sport to watch.

This is some great stuff, I get annoyed sometimes when Coulthard and others would downplay the technical aspect of F1 'no one cares about the regs/exhaust blown diffusers' I'm sure there are some that don't care but one of the interesting things about F1 is that its so heavily based on the engineering behind the cars. Hell, that's why there is that whole Constructors Championship thing..
