2013 not606 F1 World Championship - Round 4 - Spain

Okay, so perhaps I'm not as on top of things as I should be, nevertheless, here's:

Round 4 - Spain
​

Our motley crew have began the European leg of our round-the-world season, and as is traditional, the teams show-off their new motorhomes, which keep the drivers and engineers comfortable as they hop around the continent. At the sharp end of the grid, money talks and those with a world championship to their name like to use their motorhome to demonstrate their superiority. For example constructors champions Williams:

Others, like Roadrunner, like to use theirs to show their individuality:

Whilst further down the grid, money is a little tighter. Take, for example, the Spartan surroundings that keep Force India's drivers warm and dry at night:

Whilst others want to pretend they're one of the big boys, not to be out-done by his team-mate, El_Bando shows that anything Roadrunner can do, he can do better:

So, moving into Spain, the observant amongst you will have noticed that the race didn't start during free practice. To know when the race will commence, you'll have to solve a simple puzzle:

Session: azaR
Driver: Aluminium Oxide (Not so obvious?)
Number of laps completed:

(((Frank Williams' age)+((2i)^2)-(number of wheels on David Cox's 1980 Lion F1 car concept))/(number of protons in the "unhealthy" bit of table salt))-(number of flavours of "small neutral ones")

To finish, you must post a completed answer to the above problem, with the "laps completed" multiplied by the number you will receive by PM.

In the event that the described scenario doesn't materialise, then the race will finish when the winning driver crosses the line at the end of the Spanish Grand Prix.

Any questions, feel free to ask, although if you think I've made a mistake, a PM is probably best.
Good luck!

As ever, the Sauber, Marussia and Caterham teams are currently unoccupied. If anyone wishes to start a new team, I'm sure we can twist the arm of the notFIA into letting you join mid-season.

 

Do we get more than one attempt at this? We might need it, 'cos I do not understand at all. Also, does the laps completed have to be a whole number?

 

I'm working on it, "the session" bit is a bit weird. And what is "i" in the question. What is the "small neutral ones", is that part of the salt?

 

I've got the "session" (I think) and the "small neutral ones" figured out, but the "i" is really confusing me as well.

 

Getting there. What is i?

 

Oh dear

 

Not sure, but without it my answer doesn't make sense. Get the feeling the answer is staring me straight in the face.

 

I think I know what i is, but don't know about small neutral ones

 

Session: Random?
Driver: Alonso?
Number of Laps: 12?

 

I presume we want a whole number of laps

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

Come on DH we are not all Chemists.

 

This is hurting my brain. "i" better not be a typo.

 

Will string DH's guts along my house if it is.

 

The sum's not that hard really. That said i'm confused by the session that everyone's apparently worked out easily.

 

don't think it is, it does symbolise something

 

Well I am sticking by my answer.

 

I haven't got either

 

if i'm right then "i" does make sense. I think my teammate could be right (though i have a different lap number) about the session being "random" though i'm not sure how that works practically?

 

I am done, and off to bed.

 

You are meant to have a different lap number I think, we all got different numbers handed to us from DH didn't we?
