Force India’s switch to McLaren sees the team enjoy Mercedes-Benz power next year, as well as the use of McLaren’s Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), and access to the Woking squad’s part suppliers.

The Anglo-Indian outfit will also be allowed to use McLaren’s gearbox and hydraulic unit should they desire.

In addition, McLaren’s Operations Director Simon Robert will become Force India’s COO, working full-time at the factory, while the Silverstone-based outfit will also be expanding their computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using the Brackley Aero Centre.

Theres a bit more than a box involved

Also their drivers are also quite good, especially Sutil who i am a big fan of

Lotus owner Genii Capital has sold a 35 per cent stake in the team to new investor Infinity Racing.


After a long-running effort to find suitable partners, Genii boss Gerard Lopez has agreed that the Infinity Racing group - made up of private investors from America, Abu Dhabi and an unidentified oil producing nation – will take a minority shareholding.


Lopez will remain chairman of the Lotus team, with Eric Lux, who is CEO of Genii Capital, continuing on the team's Board of Directors.

Mercedes confirmed on Tuesday that Ross Brawn will represent the team at the FIA International Tribunal which meets on Thursday to decide whether the Brackley-based outfit had contravened the sport's rules during an unscheduled tyre test.

methinks it will be like Larry Perkins V the rule makers.



Ross and Mercedes will be cleared. :yes:


stupid huge gaps between races

I know I hate waiting until the next race :( but I guess moving races between different countries / continents around the globe will do that.

lol.....

It may be just me but I feel for quiet some time that 'Fasta Pasta Nando's' is just reckless in F1? I'm so surprised he still in an F1 seat after all the reckless accidents he has caused????

    • Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.
    • I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.
    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
