He says they might not make a race until China. LOL!!HRT confirms that Myoclonic Jerk's prediction is highly likely to happy
For the sake of Ark not going bananas here's the actual title "HRT admits qualifying for the race will be difficult"

All the teams do this each race weekend most of the time. The wind tunnel can never fully replicate the effect of being in the real world, totally evident from Ferrari's poor wind tunnel results and they use the old Toyota wind tunnel, which iirc is the most advanced.
But you gotta admit. It feels good knowing that they're panicing lol
Anyone knows the time for the Qualifying and the Race proper? I mean ignoring pre-show.
WiiU's gonna get it for sure.. which reminds me. I can't wait for Pikmin
so they are still not sure if the wind tunnel is fully collaborated or not. That means they're not happy with they're results
the hardcore kimi fans are bloody mad
i have this image of them sitting in a dark room, wearing sunglasses, pouring coca cola* over themselves while putting a magnum* somewhere no magnum should EVER go, and self fellating
*other good brands of cola and ice creams are available
Changing the titles is fine, just don't make blind assumptions about the article you post. I love you really though <3

It nice to see that Red Bull seem to be less sure footed than they were last year
I don't want to say anything until this weekend is over though, RBR have pulled seconds out of their arse before, I wouldn't be surprised to see them do it again.

4 am build up, 5 am qualy start
4:30 am build up, 6 am race start
GMT time zone that is.

Ok thanks, but qualy is at 6 too no? I saw time's for both @ 6:00, thought it included pre-show at the time.
If you believe the rumours that is actually down to the wind tunnel not being correctly calibrated, rather than normal inconsistency from scaling parts.

Yep, that's definitely flowviz. It looks like it was applied to the underside of the front wing and I'm curious how much of it got into the brake ducts.

Yes. I remember one of the Sky commentators mentioning they were spraying it around the brake ducts.
Doesn't intermediates change the airflow around the tire? Maybe that's why they're flowvizing with inters on?
Has there been any development on the inlet on the Red Bull car, or is the theory about the pocket of air from the inlet and it helping the air over the bump the reigning one?
That theory is still the most logical one. Plus, based on the image I recently posted with the wire screen on the upper vent, I'm now positive that the incoming air is for cooling the driver.

Is there any place where the FP was recorded or is there a replay coming up soon on some channel ?
Missed it kinda wanna see
What about the bottom inlet. Any clues where that ones leads?
It will probably have an aero function like being linked to the bottom inlet inside the nose cone and then feeding airflow to the leading edge of the floor.
"While I can offer some explanation for the upper slot, this lower one is more of a mystery. Again its use has been rumoured as KERS cooling or blowing the floor." Craig Scarborough
Neither vent enters the nose cone at all.
An even more far-fetched solution would be to cool the KERS, but it would have to travel a long way since it's at the rear of the car and the inlet is relatively small.
Any idea what that is in the nose cone? Transmitter maybe? Looks like it has come electrical connectors on it.
Large technical pictures are awesome - where you are getting them from?
Why are the teams all allowing these close up shots of all the cars? I dont remember seeing similar photos last year.
Argentina's Mar del Plata circuit revealed:
Looks pretty awesome, especially the pit complex at sea and the roundabout.
5 km long
320 kph top speed on the main straight (900 m), with only the ocean's horizon ahead
1 min 33 lap time
Contracts will be signed next month. At least 3 seasons, first race November 2013.
Continued here: http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/stories-from-inside-the-f1-paddock-in-melbourne/The big whisper in the paddock is that there is about to be a big development in the Concorde Agreement negotiations. This can really only mean one thing: that the non-FOTA teams have thrown in their lot with the Formula One group and have done their own deals, rather than trying to get more from collective bargaining. I am hearing that Ferrari and Red have both agreed to be paid a premium, based on their importance to F1.
With Ferrari one can understand such a deal. It is the only F1 team that Formula One needs to have on its side and in the past it has always done deals that suit it, rather than what is best for the sport. This is how the team ended up getting 2.5 percent of the entire team prize fund, in addition to the same breakdowns as the other teams. This equates to an annual payment of around $20 million more than the others.
Ferrari has the power to negotiate such deals and one has to accept that this is perhaps a better idea than getting into a fight trying to reduce the sums which are ripped out of the sport by the financiers behind the Formula One group. It makes no real sense for the sport to allow the money to disappear, but as the teams are incapable of either working together or taking control of the commercial rights themselves then they must pay the penalty for their lack of nous.
One cannot blame Ecclestone of trying to get the best deal possible, although one can argue that as a fan of the sport he really ought to be interested in putting something back to help develop it at different levels all over the world. He would argue that this is not his job and until someone else get control of the commercial decision-making that is how it will remain.
Red Bull has none of the historical clout of Ferrari, but it has been winning for the last couple of years, although no-one who has been around F1 for a while believes that the Austrian drinks company will stay forever. F1 is a means to an end, but as money is no object and it is easier to win if you spend more than your opposition, Red Bull has positioned itself so that it can get a better pay-off from the Formula One group.
Did you guys notice the significant change in fuel points for the racemanager league this year?
http://www.f1racemanager.com/faqrules.asp
Huge reduction which makes fuel seemingly slightly less important or at least less bang for your buck. I think they realized last year that it was worth too much for too little money.
And the bets are now 600k a piece not 400k. Big change there as well.
Yes it would. With the extra money you could maybe upgrade your driver line-up.Another straight-hairpin-straight-hairpin track? Not sure if want.
So you think it would be better to swap Total for Mobil 1 for example and upgrade something else?
