Ferrari would still be nowhere if nando was still there.

The guy is a cancer srsly.

Im sure he would be doing better then racing Manor's though lol

HAAS is an interesting one. They are predicting they arent going to start out crap because of Ferrari engine, gearbox etc (and chassis too i think) but im still not 100% sold that they will get the aero spot on first go. Will it be Ferrari's 2015 engine anyway?

Funny...Fezz were nowhere with Kimi and Massa any Alonso challenged how many WDCs , won how many GPs and placed in the WDC vs team mates etc?

McLaren have been rooted for years now

Meanwhile, going to tough following Romain. Hope its a genius move and Fezz poach him on the departure of Kimi

I don't fully understand what you are trying to get accross here

I'd hardly say Ferrari were nowhere with Kimi and Massa though, 1 WDC and nearly a second one with Massa the year after

Looking at Mclaren last year, and there troubled pre-season, I always thought they were going to have a tough year. But I think everyone is a bit suprised with how far behind they are. Considering they had quite a while to prep. I'm not really sure what rules and regs apply when you are developing a new engine. I assume it just has to stay within the rules though, which means it had potential to be as good as the Mercedes (although that's quite a high expectation)

I dunno, I'm not claiming to be an expert. But I just cant believe Honda, with the time they had, couldnt develop a better package. Assuming that they are right in saying that the Mclaren Chassis and Aero is decent

2016 engines to have screamer pipes by the sound of this:

http://planetf1.com/news/fia-confirms-tweaks-to-make-cars-noisier/

I wonder if it will actually make them sound any good, I still think they need to up the fuel flow limits and let them actually rev higher to ~15,000rpm during races and that will make them sound right

I am rather vanilla on Bottas...so didnt mind Kimi making a lunge. Allisons comments anout the pit wall bein in his ear to have a go was god for the sport. The move showed a bit of hackness in that Bottas didnt realise a dive bomb was coming. Hasd it been better telegraphed and squeezed to the Apex...could shoulda stuff but good on him for the red hot poke!

Romain hack result....Dan hack result and Rosberg another crap result....Lewis is getting the run of the green these days

I can imagine what would have been said if it was Maldonardo instead of Kimi... Hack move is a hack move. And that was really shit. Especially from a former champion. He was pretty dodgy with his teammate earlier too. If you're 100pts behind your teammate this late in the season, and he's fighting for 2nd in the WDC to upset your main rival's applecart, do you defend as hard as possible risking a collision with him when he's fully alongside approaching a corner? You've already lost out the duel anyway...

Other than that - such excitement in the F1 threads these days, here and on other forums. Pay TV is dealing F1 a slow death in Aus.

Almost about time to start that 2016 thread, cause this thing is done

Shit... might as well start a 2017 thread, I dare say Mercedes have next years WDC/WCC well in their sights too

Nah bro red bull will win next year.

F1 being the most boring spectator sport on TV at the moment is killing f1.

MotogGP on the other hand goes from strength to strength

I dont get how F1 and FIA have no requirement for engines to be available to to any team for nominal $$$

Williams seems to be dancing around thatvMerc haveca newcengine spec not available to them. Sauber are not using current spec Fezz engines and obviously RBR have no engine.

In the "glory" days the free availability of a Cosworth DFV meant you could build a chassis and win races...now you need the engine which Merc and Fezz are keeping to themselves..

And its BS. Sauber, Lotus, FI still in trouble and not only going to getvworse ifvthe next gen of young drivers dont have equally deep pockets as current crop

The advantage of being an actual constructor rather than a glorified garagist.

When Red Bull were blitzing the field for 3 years straight, did they have to supply their chassis to any team at a nominal cost?

Besides, RBR dug this hole for themselves.

  • Like 1

Funny how they were talking about what they are doing to help with turbulent air etc saying wings need to be lower and wider.........

A bit like they were a few years ago?

Formula 1 is real strange like that. Go on and on about cost cutting then do circles with the rules. I suppose everyone can just dust off the old spec wings. 2nd hand parts will save money i guess........

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
