Plus, whilst I know CFD is not quite up to wind tunnel testing, it is mighty powerful and if they can invest more in that with the money saved on less WT time, the loss may not be as much as some are predicting.

Extremely beautiful car!
Who is going to drive it?

Ferrari haven't announced their drivers yet but they are saying that they will come from witnin their existing GT drivers.

From a purely sentimental perspective, it would be lovely to see Vettel and Kimi driving it.

Bottas, brilliant!

Why did lewis do an extra run , was he on used tyres

I wondered too. Even if it was on old tyres, it is more mileage on the car that didn't seen necessary.

Here are some details.

Ferrari has just launched their new hypercar. Le Mans is my motorsport highlight of the year and these coming years should be amazing.

So was the bullying of Red Bulls staff members small children in school playgrounds now justified? Since they admitted it. I’m confused.
Bullying of children is never justified. No matter what you think of Redbull.

Exactly. What a disgusting post from Johnson. A deplorable thing to post.

I'll make some changes and do a few test laps of the village. A thought just struck me; you don't think the dog's Safety Car driver is going too slowly, do you? :? If by safety car you mean me, then yes, I probably was going too slowly! I did, yes. Slow SC have been a problem for dog's years... :D ...

Asphalt_World

So, correct me if my googling is incorrect but I believe these are the big penalties handed out before.

Spygate - $100,000,000
Turkish GP podium issue - $5,000,000
Ferrari swapping places, Austria 2002 - $1,000,000.

Just for info.

Rather he got the penalty. Not a huge fan of racing without a mirror. The FIA as usual have made a mockery of this though Drivers have been racing without mirrors for years , Haas' protest was against a loose part which then really passed when the mirror fell off, what we then got left with then wa...

As I mentioned the other day, the problem with having a penalty that could and should make RB's job more difficult over the next two years, is that any WDC and WCC won by a different team in the coming years, will feel devalued as people will call out the fact that RB was not able to compete as the...

Fireworks going off early over here resulted in one of my dogs suffering from a hydraulic leak.

Oh dear. I've three dogs. Two don't care about fireworks but one hates them. She's old now and can't hear as well which helps.

Just gone through my accounts and significant changes to Joe could be a problem without a 'minor' overspend on this year's budget.

Brilliant!

Guess it's a slap on the wrist then.

Exactly. Horner keeps saying the fine is huge. It isn't. Red Bull, who makes billions and billions every year, have to find a bit of loose change to pay the fine.

Asphalt_World

Of course. Horner is saying that the money spent made zero difference to the car's speed. Well, he has to say this. If he said it even gave the car a hundredth of a second per lap, it would cause up raw.

Asphalt_World

[tweet][/tweet] I didn't watch the race so i'm getting all the info about the incident from here & bits & pieces from elsewhere. I vaguely recall reading or hearing somewhere that Alonso got a 30 sec penalty for this mirror thing. Is that right? If so, considering some of the penalties dished out fo...

Asphalt_World

There's also a greater issue with not penalising the team over the 2021 season. Not only do they still get all the glory of winning that year, but if they don't win in the coming 2 or 3 years, they will have not only the perfect excuse, but it also devalues any potential championships won by other t...

Deleted post.

Asphalt_World

Staggered to suddenly realise that the financial penalty does not have to come from the F1 budget. So, a company like Red Bull, with yearly revenue in the billions, is going to pay that fine without noticing. It has zero effect on the team.

Asphalt_World

Staggers me that they haven't yet introduced rear-view cameras on F1 cars. You could position them in such a position to ensure a far better view than you get from current mirrors and simply have a screen for the drivers to look at. Maybe that isn't actually a good thing though? I'm not convinced m...

The fact it appears to be a 10% reduction on the 70% they have, not 10% of 100% test time, just makes the penalty even less of an issue for the team.

How long does the wind tunnel reduction last? 12 months from now?

Asphalt_World

What a pathetic penalty. Well worth any team overspending if they think they'll gain from it. Horner could pay that fine with loose change down his sofa. The wind-tunnel test reduction is nowhere near as big as it should have been.

RB will be very very happy with this.

Max doesn't exactly help with matter...

'That Red Bull won this year’s championship double on the back of last year’s Drivers’ Championship success has just added fuel to the fire.

Hi all, Just got back from a dog walk and one of my dogs, a whippet x bedlington, has a paw issue.

Another thing... If driving without a mirror is so dangerous why did they let Alonso pound round for lap after lap without a mirror for nothing? Isn't that negligent?

It's because the FIA doesn't have clue what's going on during races and needs to pass the buck to the teams.

Asphalt_World

Had Alonso returned to the pits so they could rip off the dangling mirror (it was flapping in the breeze since the accident with Stroll) then they should be allowed to continue without the mirror. Actually, Alonso should have reported it over the radio before he came in for replacement tires follow...

Asphalt_World

So what the FIA are basically saying is that if any car gets any damage whatsoever, they should stop straight away. Indeed, they should not even return to the pits. No, that's not what they're saying. Unless we're happy that it's a totally grey area, they are. We've all seen minor damage on an F1 c...

Asphalt_World

So, is Alonso's penalty for having a part that could (and did) fall off, or is it because not having a mirror on one side reduces FA's ability to drive safely?

Asphalt_World

Great win for Lewis today.

I admit I'm taking into account the fact that Max only took the lead with a minor amount of laps left.
