New Formula One Season

[MATUTE]

Not who is a better pilot, if Alonso or Kimi, but this career, Alonso gained it as a Champion.

 

[4G63]

who will leave mclaren at end of the season?

Probably Kimi. Mclaren/Mercedes has been to unreliable and resulted in to many DNFs. If I was Kimi I would leave, even if the 06 car is reliable.

lets revive this thread.

the Hungray race stars in a few hours, will Alonso or Schumacher be able to make it from positions 15 and 11 respectively? will Raikonen win it? will Schumi be able to do the unbelievable and win the championship or will Alonso get back in shape just in time?

The GP2 race was wet, wild and crazy - hopefully the F-1 race will be as well.

Go BAR Honda!!! :thumbsup:

 

[incog]

That race was crazy, F1 needs more wet weather races. Wondering what Kimi and Liuzzi were thinking when that wreck happened.

Way to go Jenson

 

[4G63]

That was the best F1 I have seen in years.

lets revive this thread.

I'm in.

Alonso is now 12 points ahead of Michael Schumacher but Renault is only 2 points ahead of Ferrari.
Massa with his first pole position and his first win in his F1 career.

Renault is having hazrd time and Ferrari is back in the game... gonna be difficult to win the championships !

Go Renault, go Alonso !!!

Great race by Fisichella who missed the first curve and was last at the 2nd lap and finally finished 6th :thumbsup:

Go Renault, go Alonso !!!

 

[Calm]

The defining moment of today's race was when Liuzzi got knocked out and they had to use the safety car, all 3 leaders, Massa, Michael and Alonso went into the pit but Alonso came out before Schumacher.

 

[MILF Man]

Big F1 fan here. Go KIMI!!!!

 

[4G63]

MSC just blew his engine!!!!

Technically ahead in points, and in the lead, Sazuka takes her last victim.

 

[jumbo_jim]

Alonso wins meaning he needs only a point to win the championship.

 

[Calm]

That's a shame, such a great comeback and he loses to an engine failure.

 

[tekka1]

It was tragic man, I really wanted to see Shoemacher win.
I just dont like Alonso for some reason.

I sort of agree. I'm not a great fan of Shoemacher, but there just is someting about Alonso that bugs me and I can't quite put my finger on it. :dunno:

 

[jumbo_jim]

Don't like Alonso but I do like him more than Schumacher. I am glad how a car error has effectively cost Schumacher the title. It is a tinge of justice after how Schumacher cynically took out Damon Hill in the final race of the season several years ago.

Breakdown of the future of F1.
It sounds good to me, less areo, and bio-fuel. While NASCAR is planning on adding Autozone rice-cracker wings :dunno:

2007
- regulations are already published
- (existing 2.4 litre engine remains “frozen”);

2008
- regulations as published but possible elimination of aerodynamic appendices (barge boards, winglets, chimneys, etc) forward of rear wheel centreline and behind front wheel centreline (subject to unanimous agreement of competing teams);
- possible sporting regulations to restrict the use of wind tunnels and/or models for use in wind tunnels and/or test rigs (subject to the consent of a majority of competing teams);
- (existing 2.4 litre engine remains frozen)

2009
- energy recovery and re-use from braking
- reduction of 50% of downforce
- aerodynamic and other changes to facilitate overtaking
- existing 2.4 litre engine remains frozen or, possibly, a four-race drive train (engine and transmission)

2010
- a proportion of waste heat recovered and used to propel the car
- a proportion of waste energy from exhaust gases recovered and used to propel the car
- wholly or partially standardised aerodynamics (or, possibly, new rules to encourage road-relevant research into aerodynamics)
- (existing 2.4 litre engine remains frozen, or, if applicable, four-race drive train remains frozen)

2011
- perhaps a new four-race engine including:
- high-efficiency turbocharging
- fuel (energy) flow limits
- direct injection
- downsizing so as to ensure very high (15000+) rpm
- bio fuels (possible freedom to use any bio fuel, with a limited maximum energy flow rate rather than a maximum fuel flow rate)
- perhaps a new approach to the chassis with:
- further reductions in downforce
- greater emphasis on cornering performance and handling by means of chassis, suspension, and brake management
- complete freedom to use electronics to make the car more energy-efficient (drive train, etc, management)
- possibly also free up driver-aid electronics
- materials - limitations on materials to bring them more into line with those used in road cars
- other road-relevant technologies

2012
- new engine as above
- It is proposed that the foregoing should be a basis for discussion. There may be other interesting and important technologies as well as areas of research which are not mentioned.
Everything will be on the principle that new technologies, or rather the relevant devices, shall be freely available for sale to any team which wants them at an easily affordable price.
