Clever design work.

That is the exhaust heat shield cover & isnt attached to the back wing. However, it looks like Williams has designed it to be 'mini wing'. Not sure how benifical it will be, but I'm guessing it will probably adopted by a lot of other teams as the season progresses.

Well that sounds 'different'.

Not loud, but high pitched. It basically sounds like a full size 1:1 RC car.

You must remember that the Ferrari was built around Schumi & together the car & the driver became so dominant. Schumi was a great driver & the Ferrari just helped him excel. But watch the 'F1 Legends' series on Sky F1 with Montoya, he also emphasizes on there that it was as much the car as it was th...

Technically, the cars weren't different but Keke Rosberg drove a McLaren at the 1986 Portuguese GP that was sponsored by Marlboro Lights which made the car yellow the white rather than the normal red and white car that Prost drove.

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 more...

Wouldn't a quieter sound suggest more efficiency from the engines? Less of the power wasted through noise and more through turning the wheels? While this is correct that to create sound, energy of one form gets converted into another (sound in this case), for this purpose the sound is different bec...

^ What if I told you that the current generation of road cars are now designed with a small engines with a turbo; and that ERS is now being developed for the average run around.
F1 is supposed to mirror current road car technology so that we see the benefits a few years down the line.

"Here's a move from Alonso on Hamilton & he's up on the inside but he's out braked himself & runs wide forcing Hamilton wide as well, Button sees this & nips around the outside & gets past both off them - fantastic action...... its just a shame the cars don't sound like they used to or else this wou...

I found utterly preposterous that Ferrari had special treatment from Bridgestone which made an already faster car into an unbeatable car. I remember Gary Anderson saying that other teams had to wait for a new type of tyre that Ferrari where using for about 3 or 4 races, once the Jordan got the tyre ...

Just had one of those 'What the f.....' moments.... Got back to my PC after being in a meeting & opened the AutoSport Live page only to see a Red flag & a picture of a car in a massive high speed crash with a smashed up front suspension. I though 'Who's that!!' Then I realised that it was a picture ...

Well, to be fair, I'm the only one taking about people resigning. But to use your analogy - If a football team lost all their pre-season games because they played very poorly, then someone said - "If they play like that for the first half of the season & loose all their games, I can see the manager ...

If Red Bull has really poor reliability during races & they dont get a podium for the first half of the season, I can see Adrian Newey resigning. Why would he resign? he didn't 10 years ago when he couldn't get Mclarens 2003 to the race track at all. Yes, this is true - the MP4-18 never raced, but ...

Well, a least they can clear the 2007 Spygate fine now!

Kobayashi in the Caterham done more laps this morning than Red Bull has this the entire week.

Fingers crossed the car doesnt break on Lewis' first lap!!

Red Bull has brought out the Red Flag...... dear oh dear!!

Is anyone on intermediates this morning? I thought it was a dry sunny day (but cold).

cmberry20

Does anyone reckon we're going to see any 'true' times this week. Thats is, really flat out, car being pushed to the limit.

cmberry20

Raining now. Probably brings the session to an early close.

Anyone know the odds of no cars to finish at Melbourne?

Doesnt seem as far fetched after today!

Not according to the order in the thread - It seems my post was first.

We may need a stewards enquiry.

Hamilton binned his car... Did you read what actually happened?? Idiot. because of "fans" like you all Hamilton fans get a bad name. Why resort to name calling? Had you not joined so late to the forum, you would have known that Evolutionz is one of biggest Hamilton fans here, so i doubt he meant it...

Just out of curiosity, are teams only allowed to bring one car to testing or could they have two in case one crashes?

Obviously, some lower end teams stuggle to get one car to testing, where as other big teams shouldnt have an issue getting two cars.

I've managed to get an exclusive photo from the FIA meeting room where they have been making this weeks decisions.

Why cant they make it look like the 2009 Bawn? That look good & had a low nose.

I miss Australia as the final race of the season. But it does suffer from being in the wrong time zone.

Eyebrow waxing?

Of course something like Massas crash affected him, whether he emits it or not. Watch the Sky Gerhard Berger interview & he openly admits that after his crash at Imola, he never was the same & couldn't push as hard as he did before the crash. It kinda opened his eyes to the dangers. I think the only...

Alonso
Vettel
Hamilton

Quite suprised no one has picked Alsono to be in the top THREE yet. I'm going for a big upset, not because I'm a fan (far from it), it's just because I think Alonso is going so all out to win!

But would get the team much more points.
