I really can't take to see VET'S dejected face anymore, lets see if the new tub makes a difference in his pace.

forgot to add the day that took 3 years of my life in the last lap on this track..

Simone Resta in charge of tub development at SF has said the problem with VET's tub was caused when he went heavily over a kerb, probably when he smashed the sump also going the length of that kerb.

Ban on quali engine modes to come into force after the Spanish race and will be in place by Spa Francorchamps. Naturally it will affect the Merc engined teams more with the huge advantage they have held with their so called 'party-mode'.
So,its the same mode for quali and race

I'm pretty sure my friend that Merc can fool the FIA by renaming the Party-Mode in Bullet-Mode !
Would be approved by the FIA as well ...

Ugh those old clips. The cars, the sound, the personalities, the announcers, no TSA because pre 911, no face diapers, the good old days.

I remember watching this and busting out laughing when Schuey waved at the crowd before the end of the race. It was so perfect hah.

Software will be checked though in Mercs case (road car diesel scandal) should be extremely thoroughly.
Off subject,we have an almighty downpour now with thunder,oh well saves me watering the garden. Please say you have one too my friend.

Masi has said anyone cutting corners especially in turn 2 will be tracked and a 3 strikes rule..then to stewards will be applied. On the second time a black and white flag will be shown to the driver, this won't apply to cars which are forced to cut a corner after viewing and deciding by experts.

Bullet-Mode is the perfect name, but suggest adding Silver-Bullet-Mode to emulate the MB Silver Arrowsl name....

Mercs please slow down ? Mate , no need ..
Let them first try to get their tires over the finish line , in one piece

LEWIS has zero chance vs MAX in Spain .This means next weekend we will see a "REAL RACE" again ...

M5Rick · 08-13-2020, 01:18 PM

HAM is putting on a brave face with the engine mode announcement and saying it won't affect his car or his pace a great deal. Can he also say pole will be a challenge at Spa...

this weekend we ll have hardest tires mate C1,C2,C3.. there is hope..

and last weekend Merc's duct taped some coolings for tires i believe as long as they cool the tires more than last week it wont be that bad.. there ll be blisters probably no doubt but drivers may handle it better this time..

That's no problem mate , I'm not sure if you watched this Dutch video from today :
It's regarding the RB16 PU , HONDA pulled the engine wider open and it can run longer at full power in extreme hot temps without power loss , because the cooling is improved again .
More RB16 updates will follow for Belgium-Spa !

Perez has tested negative for COVID-19. Looks like he's back in the RP seat. Glad he recovered but I'm hoping he's not contagious.

Hulk on standby.
