NotJustANumber99 posted:Is there any scope for the cars to run without the halos? Like physically, structurally? Would it just take a few little cover panels to mask the fixing points off and do they hold these in case? And is there that flexibility in the rules to allow for such at any given grand prix

Isn't it pretty loving heavy (in racecar terms) so running without it would probably cause the cars to handle way differently seeing as all the aero/chassis/tyre would be designed around the extra weight being in place anyway

Yeah, at this point the chassis are all homologated, and modifying it at this point would be impossible. The teams ran into the same problem with McLaren broke out the F-duct.

It was a windshield and it got shitcanned because Vettel said it made him feel sick, and then got implemented in indicar anyway which is yet further proof of what a loving colossal fraud he is.

The problem is that Mercedes are saying they would join Ferrari in petulance quitting which is new, and would leave F1 with Renault and Honda suddenly having to supply a load more teams, which given they can’t currently supply works teams with non-exploding engines leaves the sport pretty much hosed.

Hmm F1 wouldn't survive if the biggest teams are fraud teams like McLaren and Force India? Weird that people want them to have an equal say in the sport as the real teams like Ferrari then.

I think when McLaren and Force India work out how to manafacture their own engines then yes they will have an equal say. Until then people like Christian Horner can posture and be placated by liberty as much as they like the works teams still have them by the balls.

Liberty will almost certainly cave because spending a gazillion dollars on a racing series and then chasing off the most valuable member of it a year later sure seems like pretty bad business. I assume they bought F1 not to put in salary caps and poo poo, but because they saw the opportunity in running a massive business using actual sane people and reap a bunch of money from selling their poo poo directly to consumers. You really would like Ferrari and Mercedes to be around to actually be able to do that. I think Ferrari has a bunch of leverage and are using it. In My Opinion (imo)

1500quid my friend, this a bit awkward, do you simply not get that it’s the French and Icelanders who genuinely eat horses and Ikea is Swedish? The horsemeat thing was a pan-European problem and it originated from Ireland. It’s not even remotely annoying to the British when you post about boiled horse-meat because it’s simply not a national stereotype and never has been. The British also don’t boil their meat, that too is the Irish and french. Sorry.

Listen, I think I know English people prettttttty well and they all eat boiled horse meat for every meal and wear burlap sacks as clothing. You should really visit there sometime.

Remember the time when Ferrari tried to get leverage by buying into A1GP and branding it with Ferrari everywhere and it collapsed after one season because nobody gave a poo poo about Ferraris racing each other And then Bernie gave them more money anyway because he was a corrupt piece of poo poo

It looks to be forward of the centre of balance whereas, had it been fixed further back, it would have made an ideal, quick access, anchor point for craning stricken cars of the track more quickly and so safely.

Volkswagen-Audi would have a boner so large you could see Wolfsburg from space if F1 had a 150mil spending cap. Porsche would be in F1 quicker than you could say "gently caress you Audi". Also, I don't know if Renault would stick around if there was a 150mil cap; they seem pretty determined to win, but aren't going all in because they know they're a ways off it.
