2014 - F1

What a cluster f..k plus they sound terrible.

 

I used to own a 1984 Renault Alliance.

So I am totally not surprised that they're having electrical issues.

Totally not surprised at all.

 

F1 2014: Why fuel flow is limited | Racecar Engineering

 

I read that different fuels read differently through the meter. Red Bull switched to a different formulation for Spain and the other Renault teams get it for this race also. The fuel may burn the same but read differently through the meter. Allowing more fuel.

 

Cheating and bending the rules is part of the game. More power to them if they get away with it.

 

Fuels still need to be tested and approved by the FIA.....so if it passes tech they can use it. But you can bet that the FIA will be looking at adding fuel flow to those tests

 

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. And if you get caught, you ain't trying hard enough.

 

*Yawn*

It's sad that the top two places on the podium are such a foregone conclusion (and likely will be for the remainder of '14) that the network is forced to play up interpersonal rivalries to try and keep things interesting for the casual observer. I did find the info on the venue and the series of events affecting positions 3 - 22 to be somewhat interesting and entertaining...but that's about it. The gratuitous poolside sunbathing bumpers did a nice job of keeping me tuned in. :wink:

 

Hamilton = Weiner.

Bright side is that this situation is bringing out the best in Nico, and it will be fun to watch Lewis's head explode when Nico wins the championship.....unless MB intervenes on his behalf that is.....

 

I'm sure it will be a good fight. As for who wins of the 2 Benz boys, flip a coin it will be that close.

Not sure if Nico parked his Benz in Q3 on purpose, but it makes me wonder. :wink:

 

Only Nico knows for sure, but one thing we do know is that Nico left Hamilton for dead on the start of the race and at no time was Lewis able to mount a serious challenge for the lead......oh of course there was the eye debris that came and went all by itself...of course with all Lewis's crying it most likely was washed away with the tears...lol

 

It was fun seeing a Marussia get points tho, wasn't it?

Yes, I know there were 8 retirements, but some pretty high profile name brand drivers didn't get any....KR for example....whatever the reason.

And a Caterham came within one place of getting their first points too.....might be the last time that happens this season.

The wife and I are making plans to go to Monza in Sept, has anyone ever done the F1 race there that can share some pointers?

 

It would so <can't find a word for this> if Vettel suddenly gains reliability and enough points that at the last race of the season, wins and gets double points, enough to steal the championship from Hamilton or Rosberg. :incazzato:

...not sayin it's going to happy, of course, but the thought did occur to me that it was a possibility.

 

He'll have to finish a few more races first! :eek6:

So far this years he's had Mock Webba's car almost every race.....

 

I found it interesting to read that Hammy turned up the engine in Spain After the team told him not to just to Rosberg behind. That's why it looked like team orders after Rosberg was catching him for a while then fell back a bit.
