    You've probably seen that some of the drivers have done their "F1 Fantasy". Now here's your chance to do the same. The questions:

    Q1. You must choose a city for a new Formula One street circuit - which city, anywhere in the world, do you choose and why? Sydney or Paris. Imagine going over the Harbour Bridge or around the Arc de Triomphe!

    Q2. If you could choose one former world champion as your teammate, who would you choose and why? Jack Brabham cos he was a bloody nice chap!

    Q3. Formula One innovations of the past - ground effect, active suspension, turbocharging, six wheels, the list goes on. If you could bring one back, which would you pick and why? Being fairly young, it's impossible to say.

    Q4. What innovations would you like to see in the future? Hover cars!

    Q5. You can only drive at one circuit for the rest of your life - which circuit, past or present, anywhere in the world, would you pick and why? Montreal. It's located on an island in the middle of a river and has a lake in the middle! And you can only race on it for one month each year because of Canada's weird weather!

    Q6. Which former team, such as Maserati and Alfa Romeo, would you most liked to have raced with and why? Minardi or Toyota. Don't ask why about Toyota.

    Q7. You have to design a new F1 circuit, combining all your favourite corners from around the world. Which three corners would you choose and why? Eau Rouge, Swimming Pool, Stowe. Impossible to imagine all of them on the same circuit though.

    Q8. What current F1 regulation would you most like to change and why? Drs use for 2 minutes for the whole race to use whenever you feel like it.

    Q9. If you could pick two F1 greats of the past from different eras to watch race against each other, who would you choose? Brabham v Prost

    Q10. If you were a team boss, which current driver would you pick first for your team? Jenson Button or Robert Kubica

    Q11. Just 19 of the world's motor racing circuits feature on the calendar. You can add just one more. Which would you pick? Bathurst.

    Q12. You are having a dinner party and can invite 4 people from the world of motorsport, past or present? Who do you choose? Bernie Eccelstone, Christian Horner, Helmut Marko, Martin Whitmarsh. Then I'll make them eat my cooking, hehe...

    Q13. You are given the chance to drive any legendary car from the past. Which do you pick? I'd be stoked to drive any F1 car, even if it was that bucket-of bolts bolted to the bottom of last year's championship.

    Q14. If you could add one thing to your teams motorhome, such as a swimming pool or bowling alley, what would you choose? A life-size foosball table FTW!!

    Q15. Imagine you have just won the world title. Where do you go for your celebratory meal and what do you have? McDonalds.

    Q1. You must choose a city for a new Formula One street circuit - which city, anywhere in the world, do you choose and why?
    New York (Manhattan), it would be awesome to have a race through the skyscrapers and Central Park. Or Rio de Janeiro because it is such an epic city.
    Q2. If you could choose one former world champion as your teammate, who would you choose and why?
    Jim Clark or Jackie Stewart because Senna would just want you to be his bitch.
    Q3. Formula One innovations of the past - ground effect, active suspension, turbocharging, six wheels, the list goes on. If you could bring one back, which would you pick and why?
    Not really an innovation but I want V10s or V12s back.
    Q4. What innovations would you like to see in the future?
    Mario Kart style weapons and stuff. That or more data and stuff available for the viewers during a race.
    Q5. You can only drive at one circuit for the rest of your life - which circuit, past or present, anywhere in the world, would you pick and why?
    Nordschleife, impossible to master and would probably kill you at some point.
    Q6. Which former team, such as Maserati and Alfa Romeo, would you most liked to have raced with and why?
    Porsche
    Q7. You have to design a new F1 circuit, combining all your favourite corners from around the world. Which three corners would you choose and why?
    A F1 circuit with only three corners? That would be a bit crap
    Q8. What current F1 regulation would you most like to change and why?
    Set amount of KERS and DRS usage for the whole race but drivers can use it when they want
    Q9. If you could pick two F1 greats of the past from different eras to watch race against each other, who would you choose?
    Senna v Clark
    Q10. If you were a team boss, which current driver would you pick first for your team?

    Q11. Just 19 of the world's motor racing circuits feature on the calendar. You can add just one more. Which would you pick?
    Nordschleife!!! Or; Potrero de los Funes, Montjuïc circuit, Kyalami. I also want the old Monza banking back.
    Q12. You are having a dinner party and can invite 4 people from the world of motorsport, past or present? Who do you choose?
    Adrian Newey and bring along Paddy Lowe, Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne with some Sodium Pentathol. <whistle>
    Q13. You are given the chance to drive any legendary car from the past. Which do you pick?
    A toss up between the Hispania F110 and the Mclaren MP4/4.
    Q14. If you could add one thing to your teams motorhome, such as a swimming pool or bowling alley, what would you choose?
    I do not have a motorhome. <wah>
    Q15. Imagine you have just won the world title. Where do you go for your celebratory meal and what do you have?
    I think a celebratory meal would be going a bit too far, I probably just switch to FIFA or someting, maybe order a pizza, watch a film perhaps.

    Tokyo, I read Kobayashi's version of this and he said Tokyo and it made me think.. Dude thats an awsome idea.. But im still anti street circuit!
    Q2. If you could choose one former world champion as your teammate, who would you choose and why?
    Mansell! he was my original F1 hero and I think he would be a great test to drive against. sure he will moan but he would have to put up with my moaning too!
    Q3. Formula One innovations of the past - ground effect, active suspension, turbocharging, six wheels, the list goes on. If you could bring one back, which would you pick and why?


    Tough call! erm I would say bring back the fan car! that was an awesome idea!

    Q4. What innovations would you like to see in the future?
    Maybe a lax rule on fuel so it would be benifitial for a team to develop more fuel efficiant cars.
    Q5. You can only drive at one circuit for the rest of your life - which circuit, past or present, anywhere in the world, would you pick and why?

    Q6. Which former team, such as Maserati and Alfa Romeo, would you most liked to have raced with and why?
    I always had a soft spot for Minardi! I always kept an eye on the positions past the top 6/8 and see how many cars need to retire for a minardi to get in the points. It actually happened a few times and was a real buzz!

    My F1 fantasy involves the girls from the grid, a mud wrestling ring and a bucket of black cherry yoghurt.

    This is a fun thread Guy!


    Q1. You must choose a city for a new Formula One street circuit - which city, anywhere in the world, do you choose and why?

    Interlaken, Switzerland. - Fabulous scenery and two lakes for run off areas&#8230;


    Q2. If you could choose one former world champion as your teammate, who would you choose and why?

    Jim Clark. I always dreamed of racing him and never had the chance. Pitting oneself against the best is the ultimate self-examination.

    Q3. Formula One innovations of the past - ground effect, active suspension, turbocharging, six wheels, the list goes on. If you could bring one back, which would you pick and why?
    Active suspension makes sense for road cars and is therefore a genuine contribution from F1.

    Q4. What innovations would you like to see in the future?
    De-regulation of engine type and configuration. A simple power/torque limit (and fuel limit) would generate huge innovation and be of major benefit to road cars&#8230;

    Q5. You can only drive at one circuit for the rest of your life - which circuit, past or present, anywhere in the world, would you pick and why?
    Nürburgring Nordschliefe. There is simply no greater challenge to a driver on the planet, although the original Spa Francorchamps ran it close for similar reasons. I am fortunate that I have driven it many times and I cannot think of a greater challenge, or indeed anything more likely to get the adrenalin pumping.

    Q6. Which former team, such as Maserati and Alfa Romeo, would you most liked to have raced with and why?
    Aston Martin (because they deserve a better place in history and I'd loved to have helped), closely followed by Alfa Romeo to reclaim their name (The 'Ferrari' team owes its lineage to Alfa Romeo and not the other way around!).

    Q7. You have to design a new F1 circuit, combining all your favourite corners from around the world. Which three corners would you choose and why?
    Maggots complex (Silverstone); Park Corner to Gooseneck (Cadwell Park); Blanchimont (Spa). I love fast flowing, daunting yet technical challenges. However, in terms of importance to nail it just right (and satisfaction when you tick the box), I can think of no better example than 'Bergwerk' at the Nordschliefe; the most vital of all its 170+ corners for a fast lap.

    Q8. What current F1 regulation would you most like to change and why?
    DRS and KERS are both over-restricted. Loosen them up to give more driver discretion. Also, some driver testing for 'rookies': I understand the present restriction but it goes slightly too far and makes new blood in F1 more likely to be financially motivated.

    Q9. If you could pick two F1 greats of the past from different eras to watch race against each other, who would you choose?

    Jim Clark v Lewis Hamilton! The youngster would learn even more than he is from Button! Oops. Hang on, you said both from the past&#8230; In that case it would have to be Clark v Nuvolari - and if Nuvo wasn't available, I'd pick Gilles Villeneuve (to compare Clark with a total loonie), Fangio (because he was the greatest of the preceding era) or Senna (because his rating from public perceptions needs to be put in perspective!).


    Q10. If you were a team boss, which current driver would you pick first for your team?
    Probably Button. Alonso and Vettel would make this a difficult decision.

    Q11. Just 19 of the world's motor racing circuits feature on the calendar. You can add just one more. Which would you pick?
    In an ideal world? It would have to be Nordschliefe!

    Q12. You are having a dinner party and can invite 4 people from the world of motorsport, past or present? Who do you choose?
    Colin Chapman; Adrian Newey; Jim Clark; Graham Hill.
    Chapman and Newey because I want to learn from their philosophies. Clark because I always wanted to meet him properly and Graham Hill because he was such fun at parties!


    Q13. You are given the chance to drive any legendary car from the past. Which do you pick?
    I've been fortunate to drive a few, even back to the Le Mans winning Blower Bentleys; but one I'd like would be the Batmobile!

    Q14. If you could add one thing to your teams motorhome, such as a swimming pool or bowling alley, what would you choose?
    No idea!

    I take it you are referring to Suzuka's '130R', so named because it has an inner radius of 130 meters?
