sh@un

that looks like being the first decent new track some elevation changes to add character and seems to flow pretty nicely. DRS haters gonna hate that back straight tho.

the Lambaudighini V10 makes the VR38 sound like a loud washing machine

Doubt he'll be jumping straight back into a racing role

Go the Hulk

I'm sure highway patrol have a booklet that lists all the standard suspension travel values of every car made too

the fu(k away from our thread Darryl

... not forgetting the bespoke BMW Motorsport V12 for the F1 road car too, of course.

that's the other thing- there's an even wider list of engine suppliers McLaren's been involved with if you consider CAN-AM, Formula 2 and Indy

Hey, I was just stating the bare fact that the Pug 3.5 V10 made (as far as McLaren's own information indicates) 100hp more than the same displacement Ford V8. It's not like I'm some Peugeot motah fan-boy. (a quick look at the wiki link reveals a grand total of zero GP's won via Pug power)

shit happens

1!

If you count a total of 42 points as 'not finishing a race' not a good season tho

Yes- Went from a 3.5L Ford-Cosworth V8 in '93 to a Peugeot V10 for '94; Which my McLaren history book tells me made 100hp more (740) from the same capacity than the V8 did.

I remember reading the somewhat winding story about that connection a while back, but seem to remember it involves the Honda family and some drama/espionage. bit boring really. lolwut? McLaren have had heeeaps of different engine suppliers. Tidbit: Chrysler/Lamborghini almost ended up as an engine supplier, and the team built a modified MP4/8 to test their 3.5 V12 in

Bit of trivia in the down time- Q: Who is the second most successful GP engine manufacturer? (answer may surprise) http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One_engines

Schumacher's fault, as usual

I think he may have genuinely misunderstood what you meant.

you can't please all the people all of the time or when it comes to F1, any of the people any of the time

l.o.l

On the first point- Now that it doesn't matter, I'd suppose Ferrari's take on the issue would be 'pass Massa off your own back if you wanna finish the season ahead of Jenson', and on the second; Mark should have been smart enough to realize the pass should have been made on the following straight so Lewis couldn't come back at him immediately. Hell, Hamo even let him past easily so he then had the ideal line out of the corner to retake P2. postscript Did anyone else catch Louie's comment in the post-race interview about having to use near full-lock in most corners. Would explain his mildy exasperated 'Did you put all the front wing in??' radio query shortly after the stop for primes. Makes you wonder how much longer he could have kept Marky Mark at bay for.

DC would be secretly loving the fact that the Schum sucks this time 'round.

just a matter of gearing I'd say

Prolly Mika's laconic Finnish attitude and the fact he had he had to really work up to it

you gotta wonder weather they'll start ruling against that qualifying as 'finished', just coz

not a bad race in the end battle for P2/P3 saved it
