When they were Force India, they were pretty good.
When Stroll took over, you're right.
Didn't Stroll bought a previous year Mercedes car one time?

Oh look, Honda is staying in IndyCar for the next 10 years.
And they are going to use V6 turbo hybird engines in 2023.

Remember, this track is 2200 meters above sea level. The air is thin and they are running almost full down force. At this altitude its the equivellent down force of Monza. Hamilton's 362kph is faster than Perez's top speed at Monza ( 354kph ). That's probably why everyone is skidding off the corners.

flyboy is correct [EDIT: And VD!]; the lap record is the fastest race lap. The absolute record for COA is 1:35.657, also set by Sebastian Vettel in 2012. I'd be surprised if they dip below that in qualy this year; a more realistic benchmark to aim for is 1:36.338, which was pole for last year (2013...

I think I found it:

So I guess when a car gets all four wheels over the line it will be investigated.
Like stated above. Its getting to the point of why not race on a massive air field with painted lines.

Didn't Bond and Mayday get it on ?

I hope Sauber turns it around somewhat. They never been shutout for the entire season before. Sauber's worse season was '99-'00 where they scored 5 & 6 points ( under the old piont system ).

Why don't they just shoot fireworks out of the back of the car during stops instead.

900 hp?

These engines sound like the CART series engine before the series went belly up.

In a way I hope Mercedes do win by two laps just to see Bernie throw a hissy fit.
Just like in 2004 when Bernie thought that the Ferrari. Mercedes and BMW engines were going to blow up in the first race.

Lauda is claiming that the Mercedes V6 turbo is only producing 580HP.

How is Hungary doing btw? Financially that is... This used to be the closest GP to Austria so it kind of became almost a home-GP to us... with the GP back in Spielberg they might lose some fans over there... Doesn't Bernie or his associates own Hungaroring? yyyyyyyyyyyyyup! So Its not going anywher...

And have Max Mosley pop out of the cake.

Looks like the '14 cars will be on par with IRL then.

Yup, just another point and squirt street track. Just like: Singapore Valencia Monaco Albert Park Abu Dhabi ( even though this is not a street circuit ) I cringe every time Bernie talks about adding another one of those on the F1 calendar. :uhoh: London New Jersey Rome Paris It will just be more of ...

The rumor I heard - and I stress it was a rumor - for the sudden Jordan departure goes along the lines of HHF and EJ had an argument. HHF wanted the team to move in a certain direction, which involved spending money. EJ didn't want to spend the cash and told HHF that his sponsors needed to pay more...

Qualifying was very different before the 2003 season. When qualifying cars had: 3 lap engines ( all they need was a flying lap) 3 lap gearboxes can set up the car for one flying lap. Also in 2000 was the start of the Bridgstone/Michelin tyre war. If I could remember the qualifying lap times in 2000 ...

Its on here too.

I find it interesting that the Speedtv fourms are down.
Lets hope they don't put it up on PPV.

OK, Where are those dang groundhogs.
I know they are out there somewhere.

So Paul Ricard ?
Doesn't Bernie own that track?

Hey Flav another former Briatore No 2 shows you up, are you going to man up and admit you know SFA about the sport? just who is the 'paracarro' now? I assume you mean Grosjean putting Lotus in third grid spot today? Briatore is indeed infamous for treating the second driver like crap. I think Herbe...
