How much was it? Any discounts?

Okay, new page.


So, given their current points placings, will RBR finally back Webber in their "support the driver with the best chance of winning the WDC"-mantra, or is it too early in the year/that they hate Webber enough and will stick with the "support both drivers 'equally'" rule?

To answer in the former, post a pic of Webber being happy. Latter, post him being not-so-happy.

Part of me is hoping for this:

But in reality, will probably be this:

Two race highlights are out, linking to YouTube because Formula1.com video player is an abomination.

This is the first time in two/three years I've been able to watch an official F1 race edit without waiting for the god awful excuse of a video player FOM uses on their actual site.

Thank you good sir.

Watch some season reviews. Any year involving the Senna/Prost championship rivalry is great or any of the Schumacher/Ferrari pre-domination seasons. The Silver Baron at his best.

Try practising typing F1 F1 F1 F!.. oopss

It's the hardest part of this sport, with those breaks if there's no big things happening in the background of the sport( e.g. spygate, Double Diffuser fight) its a bit difficult.

But for someone who's new to the sport, go and read about previouse seasons, it will make following the sport even more exciting knowing a bit of history. My suggestion is, Go to wikipedia and start reading about:

1) teams and history of teams
2) Then start with the drivers
3) Circuits

while reading those articles you will find so much info and it will take some time, but entertaining nonetheless

Jen impoved somewhat and wasn't too bad really.

They all pale in comparison to Lee McKenzie and the endurance driver Liz Halliday, who lends her expertise to Eurosport's Le Mans 24 Hour coverage.

Yep, there's a reason why she only lasted one season. Absolute gash and clueless.

Matt Roberts is better than the pair of 'em.

You'll get more of her this year as she's replacing Jake for four races.

I don't understand how the bbc managed to make spalding sound like a gibbering idiot, his technical breakdowns are excellent and usually concise enough to be quoted in full.

Is moody going to be available for the motogp races? I noticed he's doing the btcc this year

There's only one clash between the MotoGP calender and the BTCC calender so he'll still be a prominent part of Eurosport's coverage.

Ferrari update - reports that they are copying the rear half of the Sauber. From the side-pods all the way back (so basically almost all the car)

How demeaning is that? for a leading team like Ferrari to be copying a smaller team that doesn't even have 1/4 of their budget! assuming the reports are true though. The report also calls the new car Ferrauber

So, there was a question posted in this thread at the very top of the page.

Why has no-one answered it?

 

[RomanticHeroX]

It's way too early in the season to start seriously backing one driver, and even though the points don't show it Vettel has still been outperforming Webber this year. Also, lol at Webber ever being number one at RB.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

copied from PF1-forum

Apr.4 (GMM) Ferrari is planning to follow Sauber's lead when the first major development of the disappointing F2012 car is unveiled soon.

"No doubt about it," Fernando Alonso said after winning the Malaysian grand prix, "they (Sauber) were quicker than us."

The Italian magazine Autosprint have mischievously christened the updated Ferrari a 'Ferrauber', explaining that the rear of the 'B' F2012 will be very similar to Sauber's impressive C31.

Right at the end of the pre-season test period, Red Bull rolled out a Sauber-esque solution at the rear of Adrian Newey's 2012 car, the RB8.

In the wake of the blown diffuser clampdown, the Sauber exhaust layout reportedly flies close to breaching the spirit of the 2012 rules, but the FIA has declared it legal.

"We are not in a position to be able to say exactly how much aerodynamic influence each individual system has," said the governing body's technical delegate Charlie Whiting.

"Hence, it's impossible for us to say 'That's too much, or that's ok'. The aim of the new regulation was to ensure that we don't have to do that," he explained.

So, Ferrari looks to be the next in line to copy Sauber's rear solution, particularly as the small Swiss team already uses Ferrari's engine and gearbox.

It is believed the new 2012 Ferrari gearbox is narrower than last year's unit.

Autosprint reports that the F2012 'Ferrauber' will also be similar to the Sauber in the area of the sidepods.

Lotus have ‘exciting’ upgrade package on the E20 for China

Apr.5 (PVM) For China, Lotus are expected to run with a big upgrade package, which has been described as ‘exciting’ by Romain Grosjean and also prompted a visit to Enstone by comeback world champion Kimi Raikkonen.

When asked about the update package for the E20, which are believed to include aero improvements and damper mods, Grosjean revealed, “It’s great to see how much the factory is behind us and working very hard to give us updates. We’ve had a promising start to the season and we all want to get the best in every area, so a new aerodynamic package is quite exciting; I can’t wait to see how it looks and then experience how it feels on track. Then, most importantly, I want to see the lap time gain.”

Although the Frenchman has had a luckless couple of races, he has shown strong pace in qualifying while Raikkonen has extracted good results in the first two races of the season – both drivers are confident that the E20 is a good car and capable of strong results.

Raikkonen said, “The car feels good and we clearly have the pace to be at the front; we just need some better luck.”

During his visit to the team factory in Enstone, the 2007 world champion, was briefed on the upgrade package and also mods to the power steering which the team have made in an effort to make him more comfortable in the cockpit of the E20
