Jolyon Palmer strikes me as the type of guy who, if born 100 years ago would be an RAF pilot, shooting down Fokkers and giving the Kaiser what for. Jolyon Palmer is a cool.

Good God Sky loves to polish Shamilton's knob. Martin Brundle said at the end of the race that Hamilton's crash "took the sheen off the race." If the TSN broadcast was any better I'd switch over and watch that. As for other teams complaining about Haas "buying" their car; the parts that Haas buys from Ferrari amount to basically running gear minus brakes (which are bought from either Brembo or Carbon Dynamics). Haas actually has to design and build the actual car themselves.

Goetta posted:Dallara does the chassis right? That seems like a big ol' part of the car The Haas Factory in America designs the car, Dallara turns the designs into actual carbon fibre parts, and the Haas factory in NorthWest GlouchesterBuckinghamshire upon Trent assembles the parts into a car, and then paints it as well I think. They might be painted before they get to the UK, I'm not sure on that. So I'd say Dallara's part is rather small. Haas is still building their car, they designed the thing and they assemble it.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:I presume that would involve limiting aero, is there some reason the teams don't want to limit aero? Probably because it's the only thing that differentiates the cars and without it F1 might as well be a spec series. Also because it would slow the cars down.

learnincurve posted:Sort of, it actually all stems form a failed attempt to float F1 on the Turkish stock exchange. There was no formal prize giving or money distribution structure before that, you got what you were given by Bernie, but in order to get the legal go ahead from the Turkish government Bernie had to put what we have now together, smaller teams signed because it made it much easier to attract investors and take out loans when they didn't have to say "I dunno how much we get it depends on how Bernie feels" It was the Singapore stock exchange. Not the Turkish.

learnincurve posted:The English press are a very odd group of people, and I say English because you don't get this to the same extent with the Scots/Welsh. The British are silly buggars. If Williams and Force India have a problem with buying parts, then maybe they should start designing their own braking systems instead of buying them from Brembo. Every team up and down the grid buys off the shelf parts from one company or another. They just don't like Americans.

learnincurve posted:They actually admitted they don't know how to fix it and have given it to "Daimler Benz" ( I am assuming Toto meant Daimler AG). No idea if their clutch guy moved there or if this the first time they have worked on a F1 clutch before, or if it will be ready for China. What the gently caress does Daimler Benz know about making clutches? They stopped making manual transmissions back in the 80's. 1500quidporsche posted:It's so dumb because anyone else would just run an Xtrac gearbox. Why wouldn't you want a leading team's gearbox? Marussia and Caterham were the last teams to run Xtrac gearboxes. I have a (I think) 1st gear from an old Caterham Xtrac gearbox. You'd expect F1 gears to be made of titanium or inconel or something to save weight, but it's so heavy that I'm pretty sure it's just steel.

JFairfax posted:you still have clutches in automatics, and F1 cars are not manuals anyway In double clutch systems you do, but those are fairly recent things. Standard automatics that were Merc's bread and butter for decades are torque converters and clutch packs made of a bunch of alternating friction discs and steel discs. Not exactly your traditional clutch. [edit]I will admit that practically everything uses a double clutch system now. I stand by my criticism of Mercedes. gently caress the cars. gently caress the race team. [edit2] In other news, Renault is going to bring the engineering perfection of diesel combustion to their engines in Canada. It's been a good long time since we've seen an engine window itself in F1.

Can someone explain to me why success ballast is such a bad idea? 1st, 2nd, 3rd get 200lbs, 150lbs, 100lbs respectively mounted to the top of the engine cover (can be on the inside so as to not disrupt the aero, as long as it's still mounted as high up as possible). This ballast is applied for the next race during FP1 and cannot be removed until the race is over on Sunday. I honestly don't see anything wrong with that system (maybe the weight isn't enough.)

Ok, that's a fair point.

This actually beats all sim racing. You haven't lived until you've scraped your knuckles across a hot radiator but you don't stop working because this bitch has to be on track in an hour.

Norns doesn't have to keep a rape van on his insurance that reeks of brake cleaner and pre mix and probably looks really attractive to crackheads who need some fast cash. Also as fun as karting is, its physically exhausting and I broke a rib or something last year. It would've been cool not feeling like I was hit by a bus two or three days a week. how did you break your rib? Human Grand Prix posted:I do it as a hobby as well but I'm just being real.
