You know what? That might actually happen. Seriously.
You are wrong on that one. Here is a tasteful shop someone did (found it on autosports forum)Sweet mother of Gold! Ugh! Gold is the one color that doesn't belong on a car. For evidence just drive to Palm Springs and find a Cadillac.
I actually made the Honda/Force India comment to try and stir up HondaF1. But he has completely ignored which shows he is probably a lot more mature than I
Money doesn't equal success (looking at you Toyota) but they could become competitive.
I can't be bothered arguing about Honda. Im just waiting til the season properwhenif we show form again.
Yeah but results wont be immediate though, as long as Mallya sticks around and provides the team with some continuity then thats the best thing in the short term, then they can start to build towards the future. The aim is to be on the podium at the Indian grand prix in 2010, and, while it is a tall order, I think it can be done with intelligent allocation of resources.
HondaF1 said:Force have the whole of India behind them, so with support like that, and money from Kingfisher, then they could do something special.
McLaren trying an interesting new wheel cap:
McLaren trying an interesting new wheel cap:
McLaren took the prize for the most unusual looking new development in testing on Thursday, as the team tried out an extended front rim shield design at Jerez in Spain.
Several teams ran front shields last season, their primary purpose being to direct the hot airflow generated under braking away from the wheels and underneath the car. However, the function of McLaren?s latest design looks to be somewhat more complex.
Rather than being contained entirely within the circumference of the wheel rim, the MP4-23?s latest shields feature a section that extends forwards to form a kind of fairing that sits parallel to the tyre sidewall.
Not necessarily:Protrudes from the wheel therefore it will be banned. Dunno why they are testing it. Thats the latest news anyway.
Their ducts seem to be under 330mm... just.Air ducts :
Air ducts around the front and rear brakes will be considered part of the braking system and shall not
protrude beyond :
- a plane parallel to the ground situated at a distance of 160mm above the horizontal centre line of the
wheel ;
- a plane parallel to the ground situated at a distance of 160mm below the horizontal centre line of the
wheel ;
- a vertical plane parallel to the inner face of the wheel rim and displaced from it by 120mm toward the
centre line of the car.
Furthermore, when viewed from the side the ducts must not protrude forwards beyond a radius of 330mm from the centre of the wheel or backwards beyond a radius of 180mm from the centre of the wheel.All measurements will be made with the wheel held in a vertical position.
