Engine/Gearbox cannot be touched between races. Rebuild/maintenance etc incurs the penalty. Todd! Apr 4th, 2005, 03:39 AM Stuff it... its quite restrictive... I'd be interested to see how much effect the motor change returning would make. I dont like seeing people's race end due toengine failiure cause of this rule. :( ScottyB Apr 4th, 2005, 04:10 AM Cost reduction - so I wouldnt expect the old mutliple-engine rule returning. Personally, I think its good. Encourages better engineering, and better preservation of the cars by teams and drivers. Todd! Apr 4th, 2005, 04:20 AM yeah I spose... Its a good added spectacle. Cooper76 Apr 4th, 2005, 05:00 AM Blech. I am getting frustrated now. Every GP shows Williams with a great one-two qualify and then some B.S. happens during the race to squash 'em. Looks like a double in the points and then it's all to hell. Wonk. Todd! Apr 4th, 2005, 05:05 AM Relax... its time will come - I hope :eek: Cooper76 Apr 4th, 2005, 05:39 AM Relax... its time will come - I hope :eek: Yeah, that's what Minardi has been saying too. AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! Monza better go better! :mad: Todd! Apr 4th, 2005, 07:23 AM Minardi has been saying "If we got a dollar for every point we have got in the last 5 years, we might be able to get a happy meal" TeeBee7 Apr 4th, 2005, 09:56 PM http://www.timeminder.com.au/race.jpg Renaults secret to success :D minigolf Apr 4th, 2005, 10:25 PM Lucky it wasn't the Scenic 4x4 or else they'd get disqualified. :p Todd! Apr 5th, 2005, 06:38 AM Hey dont knock Renaults too loudly, I believe the clubMINI support vehicle is a Renault Scenic 4x4 :D TeeBee7 Apr 5th, 2005, 06:59 AM Hey dont knock Renaults too loudly, I believe the clubMINI support vehicle is a Renault Scenic 4x4 :D Not to mention my other car!! (actually my wife drives it and we LOVE it) 21Blue Apr 24th, 2005, 01:14 PM anyone up watching the San Marino GP atm? woohoo...Fisichella just wandered off the racetrack... :) ScottyB Apr 24th, 2005, 01:15 PM Yup, Raikkonen on pole. Wouldnt miss this one for the world :p 21Blue Apr 24th, 2005, 01:20 PM It's only lap 8 here in Brisbane... hopefully BMW and BAR will do better this time around... Raikkonen slowing down?!! ScottyB Apr 24th, 2005, 01:22 PM oh feck it... I spoke too soon :rolleyes: :p 21Blue Apr 24th, 2005, 01:29 PM Hope I didn't ruin it for you. What lap are you on over there? ScottyB Apr 24th, 2005, 01:35 PM lol, no :p I spoke too soon. 45 laps to go here now. M1N1GUN Apr 24th, 2005, 05:15 PM FERRARI IS BACK!!! Schumacher was absolutely on fire tonight... It's a shame (for him) that he stuffed up in qualifying but it made the race a heck of a lot more exciting. :D Must say i'm getting very disillusioned with Webber & Williams/BMW. Another poor performance. :rolleyes: :confused: Even got outdone by his teammate. :( pocketrocketowner Apr 24th, 2005, 05:47 PM At last, at last an exciting F-1 race, those last laps and the ONE competitive pass were awesome! Ferrari slays me though, they managed to get Michael past the "4th through 10th" dog fight in the PITS! awesome strategy. Had he tried to go through them, I doubt he would have made it to second. Anyways, too bad for Webber, though he did show speed...... My hat off also to Alonso, I did not see one despicable blocking move in all those laps. He beat Michael by racing him fair and driving the fast line. Oh that all races should be like this one!! Todd! Apr 25th, 2005, 11:03 AM I missed this one ATG... damn :( minigolf May 6th, 2005, 02:10 AM BAR banned for the next two races and all 2005 points stripped! :eek: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/4514569.stm ScottyB May 6th, 2005, 02:18 AM BAR banned for the next two races and all 2005 points stripped! :eek: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/4514569.stm wow........ Wurz up to third tho :cool: :p Todd! May 6th, 2005, 02:23 AM Heard that on the radio!?! What was it in regards to? Todd! May 6th, 2005, 02:27 AM read the article :) ScottyB May 6th, 2005, 02:28 AM lol :p Rampant Lion May 6th, 2005, 05:20 AM wow........ Wurz up to third tho :cool: :p Just like Fisi though he gets ripped off by not getting the podium celebration.... That would be equal with his best result wouldn't it... minigolf May 6th, 2005, 05:33 AM Does Queanbeyan's Mark Webber score some extra points too? Rampant Lion May 6th, 2005, 05:41 AM Does Queanbeyan's Mark Webber score some extra points too? Yeah he goes from 9th to 7th with the exclusion of Sato and Button KGB May 6th, 2005, 06:26 AM No coincidence that HONDA and BMW are the two major and most vociferous proponents of the mooted 'other' F1 series at the end of the current Concorde Agreement ? Bernie and FIA not happy about it. Most of the other 9 teams felt that it was an 'interpretation' of the rules and not breaking them as such. The rules should be worded clearly and carefully. Was it ballast or fuel for powering the engine. BAR and Honda are not companies who would gain from being thought of as cheats...no way, therefore they would consider carefully any major performance 'stategies'. The story won't end here..... | ||
