#F1 Features: Dreams to Reality – Lets Race

February 12, 2014 by

Brought to you by TJ13 Courtroom Reporter: Adam Macdonald For most, the dream of doing a lap of our favourite circuits in a Formula One car remains a dream unfulfilled.

Judges Chambers: F1, Social Media and Freedom of Expression

May 27, 2015March 7, 2013 by The Judge

The F1 authorities and money men need to grow up and get with the 21^st century. Their continued attempts to control the media outlets together with corporate images and messages they attempt to ram down our throats is pitiful.

These offerings conceived by PR companies and advertising agencies are as transparent as the gazillion dollar cathedrals of glass in which they reside.

TheJudge13 is partly a social media project as well as a great place to find F1 news and gossip, learn about the technical aspect of the sport and discuss all this with fans as passionate as you from across the worldwide village.

Who’s Ralph Firman?

Ligier Dominate

Montoya Slams Schumacher

Sauber Hits the Ice

2003: Eddie Jordan, the owner of Jordan GP, had the F1 world scratching its head when he announced that relatively unknown driver Ralph Firman, would be partnering Giancarlo Fisichella for the 2003 season. Firman who was born in England, yet drove under an Irish licence had won the 1996 British F3 championship for Paul Stewart Racing.

Lack of effort

The Red Bull launch has been received in a number of different ways. The preview video, ‘The rhythm of the factory’ (check it out in F1 Forensic) seems to have gone down quite well. This was the pre-cursor to the big live unveil. I have spoken to Christian, and he accepts the reveal of the car in the video could have been better – more like in the TJ13 video – with some more effort from the RB graphics team, and the matter has been duly noted for 2014.

TJ13 News: Sorry about earlier post, the wordpress spirits refused to allow me to post my Scorpion Racing scornful review repeatedly??? Maybe I’ll sneak it in here – wink, wink – every other sentence.

Tomorrow we see the launch of a very exciting new ‘On this day’. I think you’re going to like a lot. I’ve always enjoyed these kinds of features on other sites, but I tried to make it more contemporary with as many YouTube videos as possible when I was playing at it. However, time was always against me.

The dedicated TJ13 chroniclers will do an exceptional job, and if anyone knows how I can set up a second page and create a whole archive with a calendar research tool, please contact me on thejudge13@hotmail.co.uk

Further, the winner of the longest outstanding mini quiz I’ve run – about 24 hours to guess the Brabham 1992 with Hill driving and was purple – reader John Myburgh – is devising some kind of regular feature quiz to keep you scratching your heads.

Marko Watch: For those new to TJ13, we have fans in 132 different countries on the look out for the regular and dastardly mischief making in which Helmut Marko and Niki Lauda frequently engage.

All is not well for Helmut, he is beginning to wear the cut a forlorn figure in present times. Last week Lauda Watch saw Niki rustling up a mean looking posse to confront the good Austrian doctor. As if that wasn’t enough for Marko to contend with – he needs to watch his back. There’s dissent within his own ranks.
