Pretty well made 2011 compilation, if you mute the music.

They've darkened that area for a reason; that is, if it is an actual shot of the new car.

I think it was posted before, but it's certainly worth posting again.

F1 cars rallying... what a thought.

I love the way he nonchalantly pulls his goggles down at the beginning.

Eh, they're hiding the bump.

 

[mclem]

If I could subscribe to the F1 channel in HD for £10/month... maybe even £15, I'd do it. For ONE channel.

So stupid I can't just do that.

...on which note...

I assume subs persist through the off-season? That's going to be an awful lot of revenue for only some token programming.

 

[mclem]

The Ferrari seems to have the driver slightly further back...

...in the rankings.

 

[MightGoThere]

New background on the Mercedes twitter page, looks duck-nosed indeed.

 

[DD]

EW!

 

[Edmond Dantès]

New background on the Mercedes twitter page, looks duck-nosed indeed.

Not surprising, the only other car without a step-nose will probably be the Marussia, because of their technical partnership with McLaren this season and having stated that they can't get that nose concept to work on their car.

 

[Orgun]

Marussia, because they're shit and shouldn't even be on the track. Though I guess mobile chicanes do add some mild excitement

Fixed?

Oh? First I've heard of this.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Fixed?

They might improve slightly because of their new found partnership with McLaren, but they're still going to be battling with HRT this season. Caterham may well join the lower midfield in 2012.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

When is the next test. 21st?

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Future McLaren feeder team? You never know.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Nice article on Kimi's comeback

 

[zugzug]

If Matschewiz and Helmut Marko were standing in the middle of the street along with Bernie I would have no qualms about running both of over with my car. Well I'd like to talk to Dieter Mat first to see what type of guy he is but I have no doubt of the type of character Helmut and Bernie are.

 

[Lach]

I somehow only just realized that there is no number 13 car in Formula 1.

Sky have a minimum 12 month contract afiak. So you have to keep paying in first year during the off season.
Although, you could bring it down the minimum package for a few months to make it cheaper.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

That Mercedes looks quick ...and thin!

It doesn't surprise me that the scumbag is still backing the race.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Also if the defending champion retires no one gets to use number 1, the WCC team use numbers 0 and 2.

I always wondered why Damon Hill was in car 0.

It put me in mind of the Mean Machine.

A long running siily superstition/tradition in F1. The last person to have that number was Divina Galica in 1976.

The sport should have nothing to do with politics.. plus, don't act like you know what the hell is going on over there

Last I've heard is that protesters are targeting policemen because some islamic nutthead asked them to "crush" the police for arresting a woman

All I can say is that we don't know the full story with Iran involvement and interest in that country, so let's leave it to the experts and focus on the sport

It will persist if you keep the sports package. You could knock it down to the £20/month package, or cancel it completely until it starts up again.

Sky's system is so PAINFULLY antiquated, but it's how they make so much money, I guess.

I still don't see why they don't introduce an option to sub to one channel, though.

E20 set for 'significant' changes

"The car we take to Melbourne will be significantly different to the one we ran in Jerez," he told the official Lotus website.

"There's a lot of work still to do before the season opener, and so many elements will change; the front wing, rear wing, side pods, pod vanes, engine cover, barge board, floor, some suspension elements, and some small brake duct features to name but a few! As always, it's going to be a very busy few weeks."

Pirelli reveals compound for first 3 races

Each team will receive six sets of the harder compound and five sets of the softer compound for each race weekend.

Each car?

 

[AndyD]

Probably. Otherwise how will they divide 5 sets between 2 cars?

Although the total of 11 seems more in line with team total, not car total. They would burn 1-2 in qualifying, then 3-4 in the race for each car if I remember right.

Is this a forced way for teams to have different strategies for each driver and/or give preference to one over the other?

 

[Psychotext]

I would imagine so, given that all the compounds this year are softer than last year.

I think 6 / 5 sets would be pushing it.

 

[brotkasten]

Otherwise how will they divide 5 sets between 2 cars?

Webber gets 2 sets, Vettel 3.

 

[ANDY_098]

It's 11 (dry) sets per car, 6 prime & 5 option. They also get 4 sets of inters and 3 sets of wets, so 18 sets in total.

 

[S. L.]

Webber gets 2 sets, Vettel 3.

Webber has more tyre degradation thou

 

[Chris R]

How are tires going to be dealt with in qualifying this year? Any change from last season?

 

[brotkasten]

Webber has more tyre degradation thou

That's why he's not the double WDC in the team.

 

[ANDY_098]

No change to quali. Only change related to tyres is that they are not limited by the number they can use in FP.

 

[Chris R]

Bah :| Seeing cars sit in the garage to preserve their tires is boring.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

The Sky team.

Some of them look like cardboard cut outs.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Everyone are so badly photoshopped :lol

 

[AcridMeat]

Looks like they all hate each other already and had individual portraits done. Then they were photoshopped onto a stock image background.
