    Bringing up this new rule again because I read another article that explained it better. It's not as much of a departure as I thought it was.

    A driver CAN cross the white line and use the curb as long as ALL of his wheels are not off the track, i.e., outside the white line. If all four wheels are over the line simultaneously and it doesn't appear to have been a mistake or result of something else unplanned, then the stewards can/might say/do something. The intent is to allow the stewards to step in if someone is intentionally trying to change the shape of the track to his benefit, like to shave time or pass someone he can't get around on the "legal" part of the track.

    Just a bit of stupid-proofing.

    Its a good and necessary rule aimed at keeping drivers from short cutting chicanes mostly... 2 cents

    Jan.6 (GMM) McLaren has denied speculation it is set to drop its traditional silver livery for the 2011 season.

    Reports had linked the team’s launch of mainly black and red official clothing for this year with rumours McLaren may want to differentiate itself from former works partner Mercedes, who now compete with a similarly silver-liveried car.

    “Black livery? Er, no,” McLaren said via its official Twitter feed TheFifthDriver.

    The Woking based team, still powered by Mercedes engines, added that the 2011 livery will be “the same Rocket Red and chrome finish that you’ve grown to love since Vodafone McLaren Mercedes was born in 2007″.

    “That’s official, btw” McLaren confirmed.

    SPEED's website is covering this news now, and guess what? NO mention of whether SPEED will make the HD available to viewers...

    Speed does broadcast in HD. I can't see why they wouldn't. Funny, my buddy and I have been bitching about the lack of HD for F1 for a while now.

    Lotus Renault GP 2011 livery (on the 2010 car). There's a lot of open black space at this point but I don't imagine it'll stay that way.

    And today SPEED confirms that they will be transmitting F1 in HD for the 2011 season!

    Huzzah! Whoop.

    'Bout time...

    _Dave_

    PS: Saw a comment somewhere from an enlightened SPEED TV viewer who thought F1 was already in HD on SPEED... After all, he was watching it on his HD TV so it must have been HD...

    Ditched the VCR when we got FIOS - came with a really dumb STB that still has the VCR all beat.

    Now just need an HDTV... Still running the old 27" CRT monster...

    Wife sez something about waiting for the LED technology to mature...

    When it does, it will be close to Plasma. Which you can get really good deals on for some really big screens. Every one who owns the latest LED and stops by our house does a double take when they see our Pana Plasma. :Thumbsup:
