Boldly claiming they're much better than Renault is a bit iffy as well, they had one decent performance but were still beaten by all 3 of the finishing Renault powered cars and have yet to otherwise outperform them this season. Also, they're saying they'll be as powerful as Ferrari after Spa...

Certainly, although if they were smart they'd follow Merc's footsteps and work on it for a while before actually getting involved unlike Honda who supposedly only started in earnest last year.

You do have to wonder how beneficial the current format is to all of the current F1 engine manufacturers. Renault pushed for this format to bring it closer to their road cars but they don't exactly make high performance engines so they're after the energy recovery tech, Honda are probably in the...

And Adebayor has had his number taken off him suggesting we certainly won't be using him whether we bin him or not.

That'd be a good way to fix the problem but you'd still have the smaller teams not doing that unless the finances were provided to support the 2nd car.

That is exactly what Michelin want to do. I've not quite wrapped my mind around it as that goes against the series of rule changes for 2017 to improve the lap times by 7+ seconds, although current feelings about those regs is they'll make it more like 9+ and I don't think anyone will complain...

Not a bad shout, could even go as far as giving each team a 3rd car budget but apply certain rules such as: a) Driver must be under a certain age (maybe 25?) and has not participated in more than 5 GPs b) 3rd car must be made available for technical suppliers (tyre manufacturer, new fuel...

Very true, even moving him down to the reserves won't help because it still gets in the press and the players all know he's still there despite not being there. I wonder if how long the line would be for him if he were a free agent? Some teams would take him just because he has experience at...

Levy is WAY too tight for that and Adebayor almost certainly would want the full amount owed to him rather than strike some sort of deal.

With testing set to be slashed in 2016, Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery has called for changes to be made to allow for additional testing with the 2017 regulation changes in mind. Tyre width at the rear is due to increase from 375mm to 420mm, and with the potential for a different...

Maybe he has misunderstood how loans work and thought he'd actually get a pay rise because it was another new club he could sucker in...

Reports coming in that Adebayor to Villa is off, supposedly he was "failed to be persuaded to leave London." Wouldn't surprise me if this was legit, he's got himself a £100k p/w contract for the season and he's going to be nowhere near a football pitch so he can just put his feet up and...

Chilton, from a Haas point of view. He's raced in America so is already known to the fanbase Haas is trying to tap in to, and Maldonado is backed by a Venezuelan state owned oil company that is unlikely to fund an American race team as the Venezuelan Government doesn't exactly like the US at the...

I stand corrected, there is a chance! He'd be a good driver for any small F1 team, but if he can't get a seat then FE is a good option for him to keep racing.

It could just be a smokescreen from Ferrari for when they reveal their real short nose concept at Spa in a few weeks!
