goferrarigo 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2006 Can you back that one up with something i could with an article from F1.com, http://www.formula1.com/insight/technicalinfo/11/476.html And Shane2 got the correct answer. He had knocked his rear view mirror off in a previous accident and could thus not see couthard coming and crashed into him. Question 8 :- How much do the old helmets(worn around 1985) weigh(in kgs)?

That's tough. I don't even know what my helmet weighs, maybe 2 pounds. So I'd guess that a helmet from the 80's would weigh a lot more, maybe 5 or 6 pounds...

goferrarigo 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2006 5 or 6 lbs is close enough! You could make a good arguement for it being close enough(2.26-2.72) but providing 2 answers can't be taken into account. Like if i ask who won 2006 usa gp and someone replies schumi or alonso. i can't really give him the correct answer even though he is right. Ok next question is still up. you can get this one right.

aussief1 4 Report post Posted November 8, 2006 Here you one: Midland wants to change name to Spyker, what is the biggest obstacle to it? Complete guess here: The name "Midland" has been lodged with FOM / FIA under a contract to participate in the World Championship. Thus making it hard to change names mid contract, no doubt a huge charge will apply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goferrarigo 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2006 sorry Dan will change to more answerable questions than random stats, my guess to that question is on the lines of aussief1, is that Midland F1 has a license to run as a russian team and now since spykar is a dutch company they would need a dutch license which thay have not made. This license for one team maybe as mike said only changable after a few years. so..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karta 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2006 As was mentioned you can change name once per 5 years i believe it was. To do it more often you need all the teams approval. Another Question, this time easy: Vodafone went from Ferrari to Mclaren to be its titel sponsor i believe. Nearly 10 years ago another company made same move, but the other way. What company was it?
