I suppose it is obvious enough that with a control tyre none of this would have happened. While apparently TOIT does not want a control tyre they stand for bridgestone who do not want a control tyre supplied by michelin. This incident does damage to…
Mad Max of course. :spank:
Michelin accept blame and take the cost of flying in the Barcalona spec tyres. These tyres have an old compound and the cars would have far less running than the Bridgestone cars; isn't that penalty enough? The show could…
If the FIA and the teams all agree then they can make whatever rule they want.
At least Friesacher made it all the way to the end.
Actually the dice between Minardi and Jordan was fun until Albers pitted. Maybe some Privateer 10-lap Sprint idea ca…
As I seem to remember no pitstop F1 back in the days of the active suspension williams etc was as boring as hell! The fast cars at the front would just drive off into the distance and that was it. The field would be strung out in speed order making …
It would hardly be toyotas fault, surely. Their intention and legality to enter the 2005 season could never have been in doubt. If the prerequisite paperwork is not in place then the administration is at fault. I am sure the signatures can be placed…
I agree with P1 that Mario and his desire to run his own germanic F1 team are poisoning the relationship between BMW and Williams.
somewhat like Mateshitz, screwing around with Sauber
or Perridon, with Minardi.
Mateshitz might have got lucky but…
Webber is on 12 points, clearly in 6th place ahead of Michael Schumacher, Montoya, Coulthard, Barrichello and Heidfeld, and within striking distance of third. That's expectable for the Williams which is not one of the fastest three cars on the grid.…
Pushing the engineering rules is:
"Ohh, we didn't think of that and it will be banned next season":
Blatantly breaking the sporting rules and hoping not to get get caught, and lying when you do is a different matter; it's like doping in the olympics…
What if, following that the FIA accepts Stoddarts position, that the other manafacturers in the gang of nine make the same declaration?
The V8 would be dead.
Technical Masterstroke!
Yes the V10 will be detuned to match the crappier V8s, but while they're screaming their experimental guts out the old cosworth big block will just be lugging along.
Actually, I suppose this means no new chassis until 2008.
If the BAR is not illegal, it is certainly covertly stretching a poorly drafted rule. Max must believe that something in the wording will allow him a comeback or the FIA would not be launching their action. Otherwise, every team will be rebuilding t…
So how would this cheating work:
say the BAR weighs 590Kg illegal, and a legal F1 weighs 600Kg.
Both have 100Kg tanks, but the BAR has 10Kg internal reservoir.
At the start and 1st stop both cars run identical strategies with partially filled ta…
With such little running about all they could do is shove pyrometers in the tyres and collect data, making significant changes to suit the tyre temperatures would be very difficult in this time frame; when you consider the amount of running that TOI…
Pedro: Hey we were thinking we'd go out for drinks after the race: wanna come?
Christian: yeah, strippers too... woot!
Kimi: Aww Nuts! My contract says 'in bed by 9pm'
There must be some bodywork missing in behind the rear wheels and that is why that strut is holding the rear cover to the floor. It looks temporary for the test.
