That's talking about the torque at the tyre, we're talking about engine peak torque.

You can see this in Caterfields.

Put a V8 high torque engine in and you are steering it with your right foot.

Put a low torque motorbike engine in of the same power and you aren't.

You need to rev your motorbike engine higher.

You're claiming that if I replaced the engine in a 1.6 Golf diesel (~250 lb-ft peak torque) with a Formula 1 engine (~200 lb-ft peak torque), it would be less able to break traction? :) (N.b. It would be less able to break traction at 2000rpm)

Kubica in a decent car should be pretty good, assuming Renault can make the car decent I suppose.

Merc day could be fun though,

Hi, i'm Kovalainen, I used to drive this car, but not any more...

Kimi to RBR for Webber next season. Very strong rumour.

Webber has been shafted by the Flavio thing. Red Bull don't want to know him.

The Hamilton clan are working overtime to keep Kimi out of McLaren, they don't want their boy shown up.

If the RBRs go as fast as they do now, then just imagine how fast they will be with a really quick driver.

Kimi for the 2010 WDC?

Source?

Or is it more of your usual drivel?

Well its pretty obvious to be honest Kimi is a great driver, when he decides he wants to race. We all know how well Hamilton and Alonso worked together and that was from both camps as they both didn't like being challenged internally within the team.

Its obvious to make sure that HamLOLtin will want to by the McLaren Number 1 driver.

Has nothing to do with what you spouted earlier in the thread.

But Kimi to Red Bull could be very interesting! Webber to McLaren?

What is it with F1 and contracts meaning literally nothing?

The teams have got to do something with the money they're saving now. <_<

Apparently Anthony Hamilton not wanting Kimi to go to a McLaren was a rumour going round the press in Japan, seen no proper source for it, just chat on forums so don't know how creditable it is.
