Reminder to get your auto sport predictions in. Mercedes are saying they haven't changed the way the cars start, if you believe them or not depends on how much you trust Niki Lauda.

Is this new Mclaren decal permanent or a promotional thing? It's pretty nifty.

It's extremely stupid that you can use up an allowed engine from crash damage IMO (allowed numbers of engine failures are dumb)

Yeah, as wicka said halfway up this page it's no drinking land so they've censored Chandon. Williams seem to be ok running Martini and Force India still have Kingfisher beer so I dunno what's up really.

That would explain why others are doing it but McLaren aren't.

"Unless he drives for more than one team (see 23.4(g) below), and subject to the additions described in b) and c) below, each driver may use no more than four power units during a Championship season." so that Stoffel guy gets a brand new [s]engine Edit: no it doesnt never mind

Locking the thread would deprive us of a huge amount of F1 soap opera, and if you don't like the posting, just read the latest page when you get to Friday, and don't force yourself to read 400 posts.

track day bro! posted:(see 23.4(g) below) g) If a driver is replaced at any time during the Championship season his replacement will be deemed to be the original driver for the purposes of assessing power unit usage. Also it's 5 power units because of c) The number in a) above will also be increased by one if the number of Events, as scheduled at the start of the first Event of the Championship, exceeds 20. Also e) the power unit will be deemed to comprise six separate elements, the engine (ICE), the motor generator unit-kinetic (MGU-K), the motor generator unit-heat (MGU-H), the energy store (ES), turbocharger (TC) and control electronics (CE). Each driver will therefore be permitted to use four of each of the above six components during a Championship season and any combination of them may be fitted to a car at any one time. This is why they talk about the power units and not just engines. It means had any of the 6 power unit parts been salvageable they could be used again. E: you corrected your mistake while I was typing
