Black Rose Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Good 1-2 for Red Bull and with Button in 3rd. Has Ferrari got any points yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarMonkey Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Good 1-2 for Red Bull and with Button in 3rd. Has Ferrari got any points yet? nope. Massa never got round to finishing the race & Raikkonen finished outside of the points allocation (think he was 10th or so). :dozey: tis an interesting season so far...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well Brawn fastest in dry. Red Bull's fastest in wet. Simple as that really! A FAAANTASTIC start to the season - best I've experienced yet! I simply cannot wait for every race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarMonkey Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 yeah...well, now that we're down 3 races that seems to be the pattern. tho i recall that Vettel did well in the wet last year too...if i remember right. the boy's one to watch this season amongst the drivers. Button's been around a while, just that now he's finally got his big break with the Brawn car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 So we've got a £40 million budget cap for next year along with new regulations which are no refuelling and no trye warmers. Good news for any motor companies who want to enter f1 now. It's cheap, and the FIA are anticipating new entries. The maximum number of cars on the grid next year will be raised to 26 cars. Lola and Prodrive (who own Aston Martin) have both expressed interests to enter next year. Whatever happens Lola can be no worse than when they entered as a sole team themselves in 1997. If you look up the word disaster in the dictionary you will find Lola f1 1997. Whilst new teams like Stewart were ready for the 97 season, having designed and built there own car, Lola were completely different. While all the teams had built there cars, Lola still hadn't designed there car and when it arrived in Australia for the 1st round of the championship, it was utterly horrific. The car had been nowhere near a wind tunnel and was apparently in some place was not symmetrical! What happened? Well along with poor reliability, the cars failed miserably to even qualify for the Grand Prix, flew home and never returned. During that time the company had stocked up £9million in debt for it's F1 nighmare within a couple of months and soon after Lola were put under administration. They found a buyer eventually, and the guy who bought them still owns them to this day. An almighty disaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I was under the impression that the teams could elect to use the budget cap in exchange for more freedoms of pre-season testing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I though it was in exchange for no rev limits... which would put teams at a big disadvantage if they didn't sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 It was lifting a freeze on engine development that you would get if you signed up to the cap. I'm pretty sure on it (as well as having more pre-season testing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Cadet Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 "The Council has approved a voluntary $59-million US cap, which is approximately $15-million US more than what FIA president Max Mosley had originally proposed. Any team who signs up for the voluntary cap would be allowed to use adjustable front and rear wings as well as run their engine without rev limits. Capped teams would also be allowed unlimited testing during the off-season and would not have any wind tunnel restrictions placed on them. As well, new teams will be given a financial helping hand by Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Management which would include an annual payment of $10-million US plus free transportation of equipment." http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/story/?id=277013 So all of the above, it looks like- development, wind tunnels, testing, and no rev limit. ^^No. What is it?

a_face_of_light Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Nope You should try it sometime it's much better racing and full of overtaking, unfortunatly the world of electronic aids is looking like it could end up making it less interesting as was the case with F1.

Black Rose Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Does it compare to the BTCC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petit Prince Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I sometimes watched it when I still lived at home. My dad's a massive fan. Always preferred F1 for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_face_of_light Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Does it compare to the BTCC? In my opinion it betters it, Motorcycle racing is very exciting to watch, not taking anything away from F1 or car racing at all I just personally find bike racing much more interesting, there are real intense battles. I wish Button well in F1 though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
