They will probably give them a pass this season also.
They didnt qualify for the first race last season either, but once they qualified for the next 6 or 7 they were allowed to race after that even if they qualified outside the 107% because they showed in the previous races they were capable of doing so.
Unless they start consistently qualifying outside the 107% rule, then you can pretty much guarentee they will be racing in every race this season

Sweeeet! Definatly him too, Rubens, Senna & Jake Humphreys all tweeted about it
EDIT: F1 fans are very civilized arent they? Everyone is wishing him luck & tell him to ignore the critics. Other sportsmen get nothing but abuse
The French prime minister is going to hold a press conference at Paul Ricard today at 15:30 confirming the return of F1.
We should send this thread to community. Would be easier to find that way!
i agree, i dont want to search for this thread on the 3rd or 4th page.
it would be more convenient if it were in the community sub forum
Fact:
- Sutil stops his appeal process, accepts criminal record
- Sutil manager remarks, he´s in talks to get Sutil in a F1 car asap
Rumor:
- Ferrari asking for legal counsel regarding Sutil legal status, concerning the possibility of him getting all necessary visas to travel to all GP
- Ferrari weighing if to either a) take Sutil now and Perez at the end of the season, or b) take Perez at once and pay for Sutil driving the Sauber

Why Sutil? and why Maldonado? Perez is the obvious option.
Maldonado has PDVSA paying for his Williams drive, its more complicated to extract him from Williams than extracting Perez from Sauber
Subscribe to the thread you fool!
Freudian slip... of course its Perez. Sorry! :/
And as to Sutil: best and most experienced available right now.
I cant see Ferrari replacing Massa with Sutil just for the rest of the season, whats the point? Anyone coming into Ferrari now would take months to setting into the team & probably have similar results (or worse) than Massa is getting at the moment.
They will either replaced massa with some one long term now (ie Perez) & spend this season settling them into the 'Ferrari way' or else stick with Massa until the end of the season.

Why aren't you subscribed to the thread?
It's far more convenient than relying on people bumping the thread.
I think it has more to do with Perez´ contract situation. I´m not sure how costly it could become to pry him loose from Sauber. No doubt he´s the long term solution, but Sutil and his experience to help develop the car might be the next best thing, but as a stop gap, for sure.

Sutil being hired is a mute point. He has a criminal conviction now, he wouldn't be granted entry into many countries on the calendar. No team is going risk that, certainly not Ferrari.
His F1 career is finished.
Even without his Criminal Record (thanks Edmond Dantès!) It would still not make sense, why would Sutil be an improvement over Massa? We have seen other drivers changes teams half way through the season & drive very poorly as they are not used to the car.

Thats why Ferrari is seeking clarification, if this really holds true.
FIA at least has pointed to a solution, that they are not going to ban him, but see it as finished.
It is said that Sutil is very analytical and able to help the engineers develop a car. Massa is seen more as "just a driver".
It's not on the iPlayer, is it? Dammit I didn't watch it

The F1 2011 thread definitely slowed down when it moved to community, but I'm not sure if that's because of the move or if people just stopped playing, haha.
Generally I don't care where the thread is because I always go here via my subscriptions. I do think less people browse community than OT/Gaming though which means we might get less new people.

This is a pretty good article. Shows what the cars could look like without the stepped nose and some livery updates too.

It's about time Francois' career was detailed as well as his relationship with Jackie.

The return of the wide rear wing. I'm going to shed some tears.

They're not going to look much like that I'm afraid.

That retro Ferrari looks absolutely amazing. As does the Williams (even if the front half looks like Damon's old Arrows). I really wish Williams had more of a livery identity these days. They do I guess, but it's rather boring.
Well, I just got the game this week; but I haven't played an F1 game since...F1 97 or something like that, so I have some practicing to do before online racing ;P
French GP negotiations ongoing

Seems odd that the PM would visit Paul Ricard just to announce that they were still in negotiations, I guess he'd hoped to announce the GP deal by now.

Exactly. I'd live with the insane front wings and winglets if that brought back the wide rear wing

Button - "Fernando is extremely talented, he is a double world champion, he is fast. Is he the fastest in the sport? Probably not, and he would probably say the same, but he is very intelligent."
I'm guessing he rates Lewis higher. I wonder if that's the consensus amongst drivers.
I think even Alonso has mentioned that Lewis is the fastest driver in Formula 1 at the moment.
Hadn't read only Austin in a while. Some progress pics, no good photos showing the track itself.
More photos.

That's because it's still just dirt. Paving won't commence for a couple more months.
Exactly, no point in having the track surface there with all the heavy construction still going on for the paddock and main grandstand.
Just make sure they get the track done a little bit sooner than India and that it cures in time and everything should be good.
I remember him saying that, not sure where though. Too bad Lewis doesn't have the mental fortitude of Button though.
