Poll Would a forum for F1 personnel be useful?

Well if you really want to talk about Dave the painter, that would be fine

 

[the_roadie]

but surely paint guys and kitchen porters would only get a thread if they become newsworthy?

...but a thread about McLaren's left rear man would probably last longer in here than his career at McLaren !

Good idea. Some characters ,as has been mentioned, will arouse mixed emotions, as do some drivers, but that should engender good. interesting debate. We're all different, with differing views and as long as those differences are respected it makes discussion more interesting. It would be a sad boring old world if we all thought exactly the same. I guess certain characters will come in and out of discussion as news about them becomes available, the likes of Smedley, not always in the news but mighty interesting and entertaining when he is.Others may have a quick flourish then get relegated to history. And yet others Im sure will run like hot gossip throughout their time in F1. But that doesnt matter because all those scenarios would be catered for.
So after all that, its a yes

The new forum has been implemented and hopefully it won't be too long before we get another moderator to help teabagyokel cover the F1 section.

Think Jen might get it Jos the Boss she's been on here for a while and i think she'd make a brilliant Moderator.

 

[Jen]

[Jos the Boss]

Your one of a number of best writters on here and a lot of people have a lot of respect for you on here from what i've seen in my time here.

 

[Jen]

HammydiRestarules, thank you again.

Brogan - there seems to be a movement for 'democracy' emerging. Should we be worried?

"We", no.
"You", yes !!

Mind you , you can always take the option of the Chinese or Bahraini rulers (F1 hosts, on topic <<insert halo>>), crush democracy by any and all means possible !!!
There again it's my day off and I feel in a curiously flippant mood

I voted yes because it would be great to see posters writing articles about past engineers who defined eras of motor racing, not just F1.
So I'd be more in favour of something along the lines of "Motor racing personel" rather than just F1.

 

[Brogan]

We can always have another forum in the General Motorsport section for that.

I suspect though it wouldn't be used that much as no matter what we've done over the years, very few people are interested in discussing anything other than F1.
