That Fleetwood Mac song. You mean The Chain? It's *still* used as the F1 theme (on the BBC) - it hasn't gone anywhere! When I'm at a sky household when the race is on, it feels wrong. My first full season was 2009, so The Chain has always been the F1 theme for me. It's now on my phone for emergenci...

A lunge that would have pushed Schumacher into the grass if he had stayed along side him? Schumacher wasn't DSQed for trying to block Villeneuve, but for deliberately driving into the Williams. Villeneuve's lunge is late and he is going deep into the corner, but Schumacher turns in once for the cor...

The safety car is used far too often these days. Any slight prang, a car anywhere near the track, any debris of any kind and the safety car comes out.

F1 is not about 'racing' anymore. It's an 'entertainment' festival and heading more and more towards WWE where the actual race is not as important as entertaining the fans. Soon if the race is too boring, something will 'happen' to bunch them back up together and spice it all up. There won't be any ...

F1 has no green credentials. Any excuse that they are being green by using LEDs, or by having ever-so-slighly less inefficient engines, or by doing it later in the day is complete nonsense when tens/hundreds of thousands of people fly around the world on a weekly basis and new circuits/arenas are be...

What makes you think they weren't?

1. The fact that Vettel ran the same fuel rate as everyone else and wasn't competitive
2. Ricciardo ran a greater fuel rate than everyone else and still didn't win.

Personally I'd say North Wales is far more deprived of funding than the south. There isn't even a motorway into the north! All we have is a dual carriageway, which is almost permanently running with half of it closed somewhere and both ways reduced to single lanes of traffic. South Wales gets plent...

I'm amazed that they haven't had the enquiry for this yet. What have the done in the last fortnight - sat with their thumbs up their pickles? Allowing a hearing implies there is uncertainty in the regulations. Allowing them to have a race when there is uncertainty is madness. I don't understand why ...

It starts feeling a bit this is turning into a kind of a rallying under the banners "FIA just and fair!" , "Nobody defyes FIA goes unpunished!" , "DQ must stand!" and alike. The FIA did not have much of any other choice. RB practically forced the FIA to DQ them, and thus they also forced the FIA to...

Lets remove fuel flow restrictions and give every driver a push to pass (and push to defend) button that gives them 1200HP on demand if they're willing to briefly use more fuel. It would certainly be exciting, but I'm not sure I'd want to be the one clearing up the mess after an accident. DRS is a ...

As long as drivers saved enough fuel where they can they could unleash huge amounts in short burst in order to pass people or defend, while still able come in under the 100Kg per race limit. That wouldn't really be a sensible or safe situation. The "it wouldn't be safe" line never convinced me. I t...

One thing I don't understand is why can't they let the teams have the fuelflow they wan't when they still have only 100kg of fuel anyway. If that is more than enough to finish a racedistance they could lower it to ie 95kg. And the engines are already limited to a fixed rpm so why is the fuelflow ev...

Just read the official result. I'm 'gutted' for Daniel Ricardo. Much as I wanted RBR's dominance to end, I wanted it to happen by other teams coming up with something great...not by a complete make-over of rules and regulations to do so. The kid drove his donkey off to now come home with nothing......

Sorry to highjack this thread, but I dont see why they have the Fuel Flow sensor in the first place. Surely if you are given a set amount of fuel per race (100kg), then it must be the team & drivers responsibility on how they manage it. If they want to pump a load of fuel into the engine to get mor...

The issue is not that the sensor was 'faulty' , the issue is that Horner ignored the FIA's in-race warning to switch to the FIA mandated offset for the sensor and thus breached the Technical Regulations.

I agree it's badly worded, but the sensors measure the fuel flow (ie, the amount of fuel used in the engine) every 0.2s of the race. The rate at which this fuel is to be used cannot exceed a rate of 100kg/h. A rate of 100kg/h is the same as 27.7g/second, or 5.55g-every-0.2s. So the 'fuel rate' means...

Frankly, it does not even sound as any technical regulation but something like "you listen to us or otherwise…" Yes, that's what it is. "We wrote the rules you agreed to and we are the enforcers.

This occurred to me again this weekend as we say many dull DRS passes. DRS was introduced to make F1 less boring by increasing the number of overtakes. But it doesn't work as DRS overtakes are boring as there is no excitement with one driver just having a massive overspeed and passing on a straight ...

6) The technical representative stated to the stewards that there is variation in the sensors. However, the sensors fall within a known range, and are individually calibrated. They then become the standard which the teams must use for their fuel flow. 7) The team stated that based on the difference...

Not sure when the appeal will take place; but if RB think they have a cast iron case will they carry on ignoring the FIA and run their cars using their own fuel flow figures at the next race? I would assume so. If they ignored the FIA and ran with their own numbers and received no penalty, then the...

Renault makes the ECU? This is new? I thought it was still McLaren providing a standard ECU to all teams, like we've had for years now?

OK, that's my bad. I assumed that the same people who made the engine made the ECU.

(A => B) => (!B => !A). Ie, Given A being true Implies B being true, then if B is not true it must logically follow that A is also not true. That's correct. But it's not a representation of this situation. I stand by this: f you cannot infer the fuel flow rates from the ECU logs, you need an extra ...

Exactly. If you could get all that data from the ECU logs and accurately and reliably infer the fuel flow rate, then there would be no need for an additional sensor.
