I'm just going to call them 'sex drivers' if they're there on gender only, I know it sounds wrong but oh well.
Renault going to ask for 'reliability' breaks again http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112519 Just like 2009 all over again. Our engine's too weak, it's too unreliable blah blah blah. Build it right in the first place like everyone else!?
Dimi PAPADOPOULOS ‏@f1enigma 1m Interesting story from @tgruener . Teams to decide on double points for last 3 races after tests http://bit.ly/1gjPrOu Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Still going to laugh really hard if Vettel wins the WDC thanks to these new rules trying to stop Red Bull winning.
Current betting odds if you went for a punt now. Raikkonen & Magnussen @ 12/1 & 14/1? An each way bet is still pretty attractive at those odds. Sebastian Vettel 2/1 Lewis Hamilton 100/30 Fernando Alonso 11/2 Nico Rosberg 8/1 Jenson Button 10/1 Kimi Raikkonen 12/1 Kevin Magnussen 14/1 Daniel Ricciardo 33/1 Romain Grosjean 66/1 Valtteri Bottas 66/1 Felipe Massa 66/1 Nico Hulkenberg 80/1 Pastor Maldonado 150/1 Sergio Perez 150/1 Adrian Sutil 200/1 Esteban Gutierrez 350/1 Jean-Eric Vergne 500/1 Daniil Kvyat 500/1 Jules Bianchi 1500/1 Max Chilton 2500/1 Kamui Kobayashi 2500/1 Marcus Ericsson 2500/1 2014 Constructors' Championship - Constructors Championship Mercedes 6/5 Red Bull 5/2 Ferrari 7/2 McLaren 8/1 Williams 33/1 Lotus 66/1

yeah, but it doesn't rhyme as well as 'Burlington Bertie' If we're betting, how much are the odds for Chilts to get a point in Aus, I feel that might be a decentish bet Is he the new yes car girl?
This story again, vis the judge. Raised eyebrows over Ferrari’s turbo cover The turbos in the new V6 engines spool up to more than 100.000 rpm and FIA mandated a sturdy cover to prevent spectators or track-side personnel being hit by shrapnel in case of a major turbo failure. Mercedes and Renault have done so at the expense of weight. Their covers allegedly weight three kilograms, while the two manufacturers say that Ferrari uses a much lighter cover that doesn’t fit its intended purpose. Ferrari however counters that their turbo parts are rated for much higher rpms than it will ever achieve and shall therefore not break in the first place. Additionally, sensors shall monitor the turbo and deactivate it in case of abnormal rpms, claiming that even in case of turbo failure, it would happen at low rpms, for which their cover is sufficient to avoid shrapnel. As a result there are two scenarios. Mercedes and Renault could protest the cover at Melbourne, but it would take considerable time until FIA’s tech experts come to a conclusion, which would mean early race results would remain provisional. A second scenario would be a catastrophic failure of a turbo and spectators with redecorated faces, in which case the turbo cover would be deemed unsafe and Ferrari powered cars were banned from races until it has been redesigned. How about the sensible option? Instead of saving 2 kg of weight, how about they just strengthen their cover, too and put safety first until we know how reliable the turbos really are?
Congrats to him. Shame his dad wont be about to see it. I think that event in his life may have brought things into perspective. I wonder how it will pan out in his F1 career?
so their logic is it's desgned to protect people from the turbo breaking but it's not going to break, something made in Italy? really? nearly everything they make there is overpriced poor quality tat.
@F1Times: Williams will be unveiling its new Martini livery on March 6th. McLaren also expected to make an announcement on the same day. #F1
