    Robert Kubica's doctor says the question as to whether the Pole can return to F1 racing next season has been answered - and it's a yes.

    You mean it's a moveable aerodynamic device? That's a no-no..... :biggrin5:

    I'd say it's a variable cooling device, as in sometimes you need more cooling and sometimes you need less....... :devil:

    FWIW, this is the team that's been advertising to hire a new aerodynamicist. :D

    Honestly, I'm tired of all the talk. This last week is going to be torture waiting.

    Watched practice live last night. Good show.

    I do have to say this (let me preface that I fully understand how far any game play is removed from reality): But having been around the Sepang track in couple of iterations of the F1 PS3 game I can say I am familiar with the track layout and have a wee bit of understanding of some of the trickier corners. It was fun to watch the real guys have difficulties in the same corners that I found challenging. I also have great appreciation for just how smooth Kimi is. It would be nice to see him in a better chassis (I hear a red seat might be up for grabs soon).

    F1 tire-change-only pit stops take about 3 seconds these days right? Here's a bit of contrast from 1973.

    It also only works in the DRS activation zone during a race -- and even then only if DRS is enabled -- so it's been much more helpful to them in quali when they can use the DRS as much and often as they like.

    So, am I the only one thinking about combining these machines into a new sport? M1F1?
