It's interesting that, other than a little light bits falling off, no-one is actually having any trouble during this testing. Is it because of the cold or are cars just even more reliable this year?

Oh it's all bacon, and the resurfacing is apparently worth "At least" a second a lap but still, give me this for another week or two until Hamilton stomps everyone in Australia.

ilmucche posted:Formula ford, but all the cars are mazdas This might be the nerdiest reference I've ever made in this thread but... The rules allowed you to base the engine on any car in your range, rather than just the actual car you used. Ford used the engine from the Probe, which was just a rebadged Mazda MX6.

Theophany posted:Uprated fuel limit, changes to driver weights and biometric gloves being proposed. Apparently upping fuel allowance from 105kg to 110kg means the cars can use their engines at full chat for an entire race distance. MGU-Hs to be removed from 2021 as part of the proposals. They won't of course because they could allow them to put 1000kg in but if they think there's going to be a safety car and they'll need 95kg to finish the race, that's what they'll put in.

BubbaGrace posted:I'd love to see Rossi in the Haas. He didn't exactly impress during his short stint with Manor, but who would have running a year old car with duct taped on upgrades to bring it up to regulations. You would think after he has done nothing but impress in Indycar someone would give him another shot... like a team who would gain a lot of fans from it's home country. I have heard a few things about his attitude, but we are talking about Formula 1, where petulance is the star of the show with the racing taking second. Although why would Rossi want that gig?
