Newey.

But will it be the RB9 or a different car?

 

[navanman]

for this weekend only though and it seems that Trulli will be retained for 2012 also.
He is an old driver on a downward slope and motivation level.
They should bring in a better talent.

Did not expect that, although Trulli hasnt been performing well this season at all.

Good to see, wish it was for next season as well though.

 

[moojito]

Good to see Chandhok getting another shot. I hope he beats both HRTs.

Million dollar question right there.

 

[Templar Wizard]

great news. one loser out, a half dozen more to go.

 

[Nolan.]

I can't decide if it would be marvelous or disastrous to have Aldo working with Paddy Lowe for Mclaren

DRS zone confirmed.

Start line moved.

[navanman]

15,000 RPM limit, raised from initial 12,000 proposed ceiling

Driver startable cars, rather than using external machine via starter hole in gearbox.

Cars must run under electric (KERS) power when in the pits like the hybrid LeMans cars this year.

whhyyyy?
it makes no sense to me, except that it is expensive and a miserable way to drop out of a race in case of a kers fail

To fit in with the greener image that F1 is trying to purvey.

 

[paskowitz]

I figure this may be the right place to ask. Could someone PM a link or two a website that streams "Motors TV" and "Eurosport"? I have my F1 fix. But everything else I am amiss on. Mostly I am just looking for a place to watch WRC, and FIA GT2.

Look up the Le Mans thread, I posted a link that streams Eurosport in the OP. Can‘t link it from my phone right now. Sorry.

Nah they should have their Kers issues sorted by then, but yeah it would be a sucky way to bow out especially with RB's current fluctuating available Kers reserve.

Are you talking about this...

Yeah, i wondered this aswell. But it could mean cars will stay out for about 50 laps on old tyres because they are unable to pit!

But im guessing by that time Kers will be much more stable that it is now.

 

[Ark]

F1.com Silverstone race edit was pretty decent imo. Nice amount of team radio comms.

Also, energy recovery from exhaust heat. Pretty interesting.

There's no FIA GT2 championship except in the ILMC series where they've been renamed GTE. There is a GT1 World Championship and a GT3 European Championship, both of which are pretty great. You can follow both live on GT1 TV, where you can also watch replays of prior GT1 races.

apparently Petrov is too heavy for the new RBR style exhaust for the Renault. Only Heidfeld will run it on the Nürburgring

[ANDY_098]

8 forward gears from 2014! Crazy.

Massive controversy in Germany. 10 teams in contravention of FIA regulations. So far only Lotus and HRT are legal (I think). No joke.

 

[Leunam]

10 teams? What could have possibly affected most of the field?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Lotus and HRT on the grid? Best race ever confirmed.

Wonder what has gone wrong?

 

[Leunam]

Marussia Virgin also legal now.

So just the three backmarkers.

Wow. I always knew that Heidfeld was one of the smaller drivers, but 15 kg (33 lbs) difference between both drivers is huge, isn't it? I also think it's sad that Renault goes back to a more conventional exhaust. I always liked the front exhaust, because it was different.

Flashbacks of Indy 2005, with only three teams racing.

he could probably save another kg if he shaved

Wonder what's going on there then, given that the regulations have reverted back to pre-Silverstone spec.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Must have discovered some rule banning competitive cars.

 

[DrM]

Probably stewards and Charlie went on 'schnapps und bier' tour yesterday and are still drunk

 

[brotkasten]

Whatever it is, there's no way the race will start with three teams. No need to panic.

 

[Dilly]

Haha, what the hell?

Hoping for a D'Ambrosio win then!

 

[Deadman]

lolwat

Not going to happen. Chandook clearly sabotaged the faster cars so his return race will be spectacular and secure him a seat for 2012.

 

[S. L.]

/shrug

nothing will happen. they won't repeat that US debacle, especially when only those three teams could run.

 

[Graphics Horse]

lol

The issue, incredibly, is driver overalls. FIA compliance must be stitched to collars. Screen prints are thus illegal.

Well so basically nothing will happen...

A lot of fuss about nothing. FIA will allow it if needed.

 

[navanman]

Just goes to show how specific and pedantic the FIA F1 rules are.

The shitty weather we've been having here for almost a month now will finally be put to good use:

Mercedes fun:

Even better:

There's something... I don't know... disturbing about this image:

he looks like an even eviler version of gordon ramsy there

He looks even older in this picture. It's really weird to think that he's still driving in Formula 1.
