2010 Formula One Thread

The courts did not overturn the ban because they deemed it was a harsh penalty, but because it is not legal under the FIA's own rules.

The FIA only has the power to ban people that are licensed in some way by it (drivers, etc). Team managers do not need to be licensed like they would in football, and so cannot be banned.

I imagine the FIA will make it necessary in future to apply for a license to run a team.
 
Just seem this posted on another forum. The Red Bull team appear to have been trying to test their car in the snow. On Slicks! :eek:

Bernie wants short cuts?

How would this even work on some of the traditional circuits?

I suppose you'd be allowed to skip a chicane to take the original corner or they could add paving around the chicane to create a new corner that you could take at higher speeds.

Then again, those chicanes were said to be added in the name of safety due to the possibility of a car not being able to hold the original corner, so there might need to be improvements in run-off and impact-mitigation.

I personally don't like the idea. It would be back to figuring out who's coming out where after the pits...though not as hard to figure when refueling was happening.

Seriously want passing? Make a general aero package using ground effects. Teams can then concentrate on engine, suspension, weight etc....
GP2 doesnt have as much a problem with passing since they are able to use more ground effects right? (Im sure there are other reasons and I am over generalizing.)

They want the cars to apply more to road cars tech right? Then the aero work must stop IMO and concentrate on something else. MMM diesel F1 would be COOL. Personally I dislike hybrids/electric cars because the battery tech currently used is not there. Go LIPO/brushless I guess. HOWEVER, if the oil crisis really is as bad as I DONT want to believe, then racing MUST pioneer the tech IMO. Please don't let GM pioneer it with their *****ty cars.

It wouldn't be a bad thing to limit our travel distance to what say the British see right (because of the battery mAh limit)? Its ridiculous that so many must drive 2+hrs a day to get to work... (Terrible city planning....leading to crappy looking cities like LA, and bad city economic situations)
 
wow, there taking a bite of anything.

hey has anyone thought, that since f1 is the premier racing sport, that the best of the best drivers would be in it? if so, a good driver knows how to pass and how to not get passed, so... thats why there isn't much passing? (i know about all the car stuff, just throwing the drivers in)

i was watching btc or gtc or something and they were passing a lot.

random ramblings of the day from me.
if were going to do some random things in the sport, lets do something funny to help.
like, you have to go into the pits and high five one of the other teams, 2 times during a race, and its chosen by the other teams (they also choose who they high five.)
 
You may have to spell it out, take away the paint and I would find it near impossible to tell which car belongs to which team.
