Well, saving thousand of jobs, erasing an almost insurmountable debt in the billions and make two dying big companies a newer, bigger and profitable enterprise again is in itself quite an achievement. Talking about the quality of the jobs is easy, but I think any of the jobs Marchione saved allowed ...

He will come back with another team in 2018.

Some years ago I was sitting at my office, suddenly I can type in the computer, but I can't talk and when said something, was not the thing I wanted to say. To make the history short, I was able to call my daughter and when she listen what I was talking came to my office and took me to the hospital....

There is a lot wrong with F1 today. . A lot has been written about reducing the costs of F1, limiting testing, engine development, etc, etc. Almost no body talk about the biggest problems in F1. The main problem is the F1 business model is by itself unsustainable for any small team and on the long r...

Well, Vettel has been slow in adapting to this car, had a lot of mechanical issues, team screw ups and bad luck. Daniel is being just perfect this year. This for me makes a good case of Daniel being a top performer but not a case for Vettel loosing his reputation. On top of everything, most of the t...

Some Logic lesssons: Rosberg is a second tier driver, doesn't deserve any respect. Rosberg is only fast because of the car. Lewis and Rosberg are very close on pace.

Do not think so. Marquez is not killing GP, he is killing the Records. I wish F1 was at the level of GP now. In GP if you want to pass, you do not have artificial things on your equipment, the main equipment are your skills, talents and something else...

Well, I think Vettel will struggle with Dan for the rest of this season and probably half of the next. The main problem is that for 4 years Vettel was driving a car that needed a very different approach while cornering, and that driving style and the Newey design together developed huge amounts of d...

To say that he took Mercedes to the next level is just wrong. The engine for the Mercedes was designed long before he was there and the Mercedes car is so good mainly because of the engine, because aerodynamically I think the best car is still the Red Bull. The pit stop still are lacking, even with ...

I think Lewis did the right thing. I also think Vettel did also the right thing some time ago, not allowing Webber thru, but then half of the people in this forum called Torquemada because disobeying teams orders was a sin.

While some people wants the RBR team and its owner to disappear from F1, I do not find anything wrong with what he said: Asked if there will be ever something to make RBR out of F1, he answered "The question is not so much whether it makes economic sense but the reasons would be to do with sportsman...

There are two problems: After Gill finish the sensors, then a Third Party Enterprise calibrate them, but this is still not the big problems, the problem is that after the sensor are installed, according to some developed model the FIA approves certain "offsets" The basis for the offsets, believe or ...

Fangio52

After 28 pages still some people think Red Bull had its own measurement system or that they put another sensor: All the teams have two measurement systems: the data from the ECU and the FIA's homologated one. You should use the one the FIA says you to use.

Fangio52

The writing of the Rules is 100 % OK. Only problems steam from the sensor being out of specs making them illegal. If you need to make an offset to your sensor based on the ECU data that is supposedly less accurate speaks very loud at what he have at hand. By the way, when somebody here said that a f...

Fangio52

By that definition, a faulty sensor does not meet specs but that doesn't make it illegal, just faulty. I do agree that if they force a part on the teams then that part should be fairly bullet proof, although I disagree that any variance should necessarily make it illegal. And I would support any te...

I think that the fact that the teams accepted the illegality of using sensors that do not meet the specs, do not make the FIA to be on the legal side. Am I right? Zoue: Hmm, I d...

If estimations, even complex formulas, are used to "fill in the blanks" in order to be able to connect the data points and calculate the area and thus the fuel flow, you're introducing uncertainty into the model. Is the accuracy of this uncertainty small enough to reliably calculate the total fuel ...

Zoue: I don't understand this line of reasoning. First, there's no proof whatsoever that using the homologated fuel sensor would have put RBR at a disadvantage to everyone else. Mercedes were also told to turn things down even though their own internal readings differed from the official ones. They ...

[quoteedit 2: something just strikes me. What if teams align with the timing of the sensor and inject more between the readings?

[quoteIf their own readings only put them on a level playing field with the other teams (which seems a bit unlikely), then I agree that Dan's race result should stand - but RBR should still suffer a minor penalty plus loss of constructors points for ignoring the FIA.][/quote] The DQ should stand, be...

Blake: Let me try to explain it to you but I know I am bad explaining things. You started the race with lets say 100 kg of fuel. During the race, your fuel flow sensor is sampling the flow and based on this readings its totaling unit is computing the total of fuel consumed by your car. At the end of...

You seem to have missed my earlier reply on you in using this method. I will repeat: Sorry I didn't reply to you before. Let me explain that it is not my method.

Fangio52

Actually, unless I am totally misunderstanding things, just checking the amount of fuel left (as some have suggested as a true indicator if a team has gone over the 100) has no relevance to this situation. Would a team/driver not be able to use more fuel when they wished (ie push-to-pass) for certa...

I don't know how you propose to know all the facts sat in your armchair, the FIA had all the facts to hand during their 4/5 hour deliberation on whether Ricciardo should be disqualified or not. Also Red Bull did gain an advantage by taking the law into their own hands, all the other teams abided by...

Even if RB prove they were not exceeding the FIA flow limit they were still running at an advantage to the other teams who were complying with the FIA instructions. The teams that complied were running at a lower threshold to follow the directive. It is highly unlikely that RB's own readings are mo...

And the fact remains that they did gain a performance advantage. Red Bull did gain a performance advantage if they went over the 100 kg/h flow, something no body even the FIA knows. According to the FIA sensor that is the case, but given the accuracy of the sensor it is hard to say if that is the t...

"Gills say that 92% have a tolerance of +/-.25% which doesn't mean the other 8% are worthless. They also say that ~50% have a tolerance of +/-.10% and nowhere has anybody said anything about what tolerance the FIA is willing to accept. " The homologated sensor should have an accuracy of 0.25% both ...

The offset for the sensors is form a fuel system model from the FIA. Why do you need to model a real process to say the reality. In a process you just read the real values from sensors. It is like you put a thermometer on me and it shows 36 degrees C but then you take a model of my body built by you...
