Hate? Far from it. We dislike. That's what we do. And appoint obvious flaws as some positives too.
Colin Kolles on F111, 2011 HRT challenger: The car doesn't look too bad; it looks like a modern F1 car.
I'm personally in favour of annexing* F1 Fanatic, overthrowing Keith and his merry band of misfits, and replacing it with our own band of misfits.
Too soon, too soon?

Misfits? Here? No way!

Wikipedia wrote:Coulthard kept the lead until the first round of pitstops. However, he came into the pitlane too fast, locking his front tyres and ran into the pitwall. He was forced to retire from the race. A few laps later, Forti's Roberto Moreno spun and caused terminal damage to his suspension in the same place where Coulthard had crashed earlier.
Got a feeling Johnny Herbert also had a moment in that pitlane, and either went straight on, or just saved it.
I was at that GP, sat opposite the pitlane entry. I can tell you everyone was having issues entering that pitlane, Herbert, Schumacher (twice), Coulthard, Moreno and around ten others slid wide while attempting it. DC was the only one to hit anything, everyone else sliding across the painted EDS signage on the inside of the hairpin and back onto the circuit. Damon won of course, and sent me home a very happy kid
