COTD!!

Yet this assumes they also did not put enough fuel in, in for the occasion that the race did not go flawlessly, and thus would have to fight for position. People have said that the Merc had plenty more to show, […]

I don’t think you understand the regulation.

100Kg of total fuel for the race (though they can put more in).

Maximum flow (into the engine) 100Kg per hour. The car is not at full throttle for the entire lap, […]

I believe Scarbs referred to this in vid below:

He claims the wishbones are aero “independent” and do not count. Hence the wishbones are often “tear drop” shaped to produce minimum drag.

I didn’t think you were allowed any bodywork forward of the front wing?

They are referenced in FIA documentation I believe. e.g. awarding car 1 a penalty. However I agree. The three letter codes are already allocated when the driver gets a super-licence, so why not use those.

Good points,

The other thing to take on board, a lot of people are now claiming that all other teams go and do tests. Anyone doing the same thing would be in direct violation of “the spirit of the regulations”, […]

Looks like some interesting shapes on the sidepods and the radiator ducts. They look rather “pinched”?

Wow, posted from a phone? It isn’t twitter! There is no character limit.

On another note, it looks to be an interesting weekend. I would imagine, assuming Lewis doesn’t do something odd with his setup, we will […]

I think Eurosport UK are showing at least some of the race. Apparently this is not a difficult channel to get. So will catch as much of the race as I can!

Problem is, the teams are penalised if they don’t participate. Bernie leaves it till the last minute, does nothing and says nothing, and the Monarchy is happy that it happens.

Ultimately, FIA should have the […]
