I don’t think a fuel use regulation would work for matching PUs of different types. There tends to be a sweet spot on turbo size and number of cylinders that gives the best power to full consumption, so everyone […]

Sorry I couldn’t find a quick link to the actual ruling, but I believe the agreement said partial tokens would be ignored, not rounded. This is why Honda gets 9 instead of 10.

Educated guess here: At one point Button was complaining about temperatures being too high. In the absence of any other options to cool the engine you can put more fuel in. You won’t get a complete burn but the […]

Like others have said, this feels at least a little inconstant with past rulings. However, it is a new season and new rules. I’ve always felt seasons should be internally consistent in the application for the […]

To be fair, missing one lug nut in F1 is a little more serious then in NASCAR. :-)

@fast

I think the fact that she owns one third of the team is the reason she hasn’t yet been fired for this mess.

He should push to use 144. Best of both worlds. :-)

Or 441.

It sounds more begrudgingly to me. Look how great we are for flying out this small teams equipment. Something we are contractually obligated to do. Sucks that we have to add another plane to get everything to fit.

Sigh. “To date I don’t feel…”

This is half of my enjoyment of F1. (Not that I want it peppered with reality TV clichés.) I love the off track drama. This stuff is gold to sit back and watch.

Remember a few years ago when the team […]

Point systems are a hot topic. Makes me wonder what the Driver of the Weekend “championship” looks like compared to the actually drivers championship.

Are the full field driver of the weekend stats available […]

I voted determine a worthy Driver and Team.

I don’t think the driver and team need to use the same system. To me wins are more important to drivers, constancy is more important to teams. A metals system for […]

Ahh, @matt90 beat me by 3 seconds.

I answered the survey saying I would only be following F1 this year, but there are a lot of interesting looking races in IndyCar this year. I’m going to have to pay more […]

Oh Oh Oh, I can’t believe I get a chance to do this:

“The 2014 series will remain within the USA…” Toronto is in Canada so the series is not remaining in the USA this year.

There I did it, someone was […]

Radio: I’m off track, I couldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Numbers? The cars and drivers have numbers?

They certainly haven’t been visible for several years, and I don’t recall them being used in tv coverage for many years. Personally I think the better solution […]

But it would still mean that the likes of Williams, Sauber, Force India and Marussia and Caterham would be pushed back on the grid by a couple of new people who can just jump in and have some success.

I think […]

According to this Wikipedia article customer cars were band starting in 1981.
