So we have apparently 'major' regulation changes that aren't set out.
They are going to apparently increase speed to 04 levels but nobody knows how.
They are almost certainly going to raise costs which are already stupidly too high.
Pirelli aren't in a contract for the new tyre regs yet and will only agree to it if they get more testing which won't happen.
And they only have a year and a bit to set the regulations and let the teams/manufacturers/Pirelli prepare for the 'major' changes.
What a fucking shitshow

IMO the only way to raise the pace that much in a year without totally changing the regs is to bring back refueling.
>Pirelli doesn't want it since nobody will talk about tires anymore
>FIA won't do it since the fuel limit would certainly be scrapped
>the Berns probably just wants to go back to the 3.5L formula and he has 1/3 of the strategy group votes
So basically just undo all the rule changes from the last 10 years and the pace will come back.

The teams don't want it either because they all complain about the cost rise that they believe would happen.

Also when refuelling was on the agenda the FIA wanted a full tyre and fuel pitstop to be no longer than the current pitstops which is frankly insane.

Probably preaching to the choir here, but the teams really shouldn't be a part of the so-called strategy group. Not that it's necessarily a good idea to have a strategy group, but for the dramatic changes required it's better to not have a democracy since the teams all have their own interests at heart and drag out the process.

Yeah, the team that is currently in dominance doesn't want changes. Or if a team comes up with a nice idea, the other teams will vote against it and try to ban it because they can't adjust their car to fit this tech.

Pretty certain that would get all the busybody groups and yellow press of Britain to lose their shit; Thus, it won't go anywhere and it will end up being counter-productive in the end. What you want to do is to quietly have the rule overturned. That way, nobody notices until it's already happened.

I wish F1 just didn't try to be so family friendly. Back in the day Race Reviews would candidly show dead bodies. I'm not espousing that at all, but there seemed to be a much greater acceptance of things we would consider taboo or inappropriate in the sport today. And you know what? Kids back then managed to love the sport will all that in mind.

Finland you know as well as I do that EU legislation does not just get 'overturned'
Even if we were to exit from europe that still means all the other countries still have the ban on advertising and therefore it wouldn't be profitable.
It's a cultural issue more than anything. For every 1 of us who feels that cigarette advertising would be a big boost to F1 financially you have another 10 who feel cigarettes should be banned and smokers prosecuted.

They make a profit, but have an inherent incentive to offer more quality at lower prices. Meanwhile the US government (and consequently the tax payer) stepped on our constitutional rights (under the 9th and 10th amendments) in order to spend 3.7 trillion dollars on social security and Medicare alone, for a loss in choice and efficiency.

A lot of stuff to transmit at 400fps and FOM already has issues with the wavelengths they can transmit on from race to race.
I imagine it will have a data logger and it will just record.
I want to know if it will be constantly on or not.
If it is crash activated I could see it missing say a Justin Wilson style accident where you really want to see the moment of impact with the head not a fraction after.
It would be typical FIA to do it that way

It would possibly work like a standard dash cam, and loop record over itself, then lock a section of the recording (before and after) when triggered.

And here circle, a private healthcare company produced an immediate and tangible improvement in costs and quality versus alternative that is rationing healthcare proposed by the proponents of socialism. That chart you posted is not only misleading, established by an activist think tank, and based on arbitrary ranking metrics, it also takes the most expensive to insure groups and generalizes them to the whole.

I don't think so but FOM are weird.
They usually test something to do with cameras each season.
We have had helmet cameras, the thermal cameras, rotating cameras that really cool one at Abu Dhabi that looked back into the visor but they don't stick with them.
They seemingly just swap them out at each GP.

I wouldn't be surprised if recalibrating them to suit the leafblower engines brought out other issues. At Canada last year and to a lesser extent this year, you could hear a shrill electric whine (like coil whine on an overworked power supply or video card) from the hybrid units. That noise (especially on the Williams cars was pretty unbearable) if dicking around with the mic brought that out, I could understand why they would put it off. Just an idea.

When Eddie Irvine got on the podium the first time, they raised the flag of the republic of Ireland, despite Irvine being from Northern Ireland. There were threats of violence and a whole shit storm. When he won a race for Ferrari (in Austria I think, Mika Salo was subbing for Schumacher at the time) they raised the British flag and played "god save the queen". This created more issues. Irvine requested that they play the "Londonderry air" to have a non sectarian anthem, but in typically French style the fia refused.

There's an implication in there that the engine suppliers are supposedly tacking on megabucks (like 40% or so?) over the actual manufacturing cost… which I find very doubtful and even if true they're just trying to recoup the giant R&D spending.
Pic is of Mercedes HPP at the end of the V8 era, just an example of how many people are required on the "works" side. IIRC Mercedes has 700 employees at Brackley plus however many at HPP, meanwhile Force India has 400 or so.

Mercedes spent over half a billion on their F1 program last year

The proposal is only asking the engine prices to be reduced from 20 million to 10 million.
That's 30 million over 3 supplies teams.

Why would engine cost caps ever be a good idea? At best that will make the suppliers eat the enormous r&d cost in full, at worst (and most likely) they'll reduce their spending on the development of the engine, leaving customer teams with expensive and still shit engines.
You cannot get a free lunch, the costs will surface somewhere. The only smart move is to return to an engine formula that makes sense and is sustainable (3.5 liter)

Considering how little money (relatively) there is in F1, yeah. There's a reason why for customer level cars, you cannot have cheap, technologically advanced and powerful at the same time. It just doesn't work that way.
Banning wind tunnels is stupid.
It feels like they cannot find a way to cut costs without locking up the entire field for the season. It wouldn't be too bad if the field was more or less equal.
The only thing wind tunnel ban is going to do is increase the sales of CAD simulators that have a wind tunnel plugin.

Yeah, as a fantasy it would be kinda fun to have a full on old school Mercedes v. Auto Union grudgematch with 3+ car teams but in reality with these regulations it would just be the same podium every race.
Really I should be pulling for enough teams to go bankrupt that Bernie's deals with the promoters are all void and the sport collapses, but that would be a bit rough.

Louis is on my team so I get 15 points or something whenever he's on pole as an insurance policy (11/12 GP this year). I think no matter where they qualify the Mercs can just use so much more power and have such a pace advantage that even if it's theoretically hard to overtake around Singapore they're going to end up 1-2 in the race. Rosberg is actually better around Singapore than Louis imo so their order is the same. Got a good feeling about tricciardo in P3 but I'm going to sub out Gimi for Seb on FL.
Switching Nasa for RSI though since he's been getting btfo by Ericsson of all people. All Rossi has to do is make up places when people retire and it's easy points.

I suspect Ricciardo (my P2) will be charging hard late in the race, so I put him for FL for that reason (late race = low fuel = faster)

To be fair, Damon Hill was beating senna before senna died, and hill, for all his tendency to bitch and moan, generally had a high rate of outpacing his teammates.
Agreed on mansell and hakkinen though. Hakkinen (sorry Finland) was pretty well out performed by Johnny Herbert at lotus.

I agree that Häkkinen is not the best Finnish driver in F1. Even JJ Lehto and Mika Salo were better than him. Häkkinen did scare Schumi but I think any other Finn in a Newey car would scare him shitless.

Yeah, he stopped giving a shit after 1997. He's the French-Canadian Räikkönen.

Why would they ever do that? That's a terrible idea. F1 popularity in the us is pretty much at an all time low, nobody who buys a Mercedes even knows they own brawn gp and illmor. An American driver wouldn't change shit.

the LMP1 hybrid formula seems more natural since the teams can put out so much more power. the ERS in F1 is pretty much there to make up for hp lost by downsizing the ICE rather than to add anything.
plus there's some fun stuff

It isn't. A company is literally racing itself. The next competitor is leagues behind. The only reason that there's any competitiveness is that no one cares enough about WEC to spend enough money to dominate.
Backmarker 09/19/15 (Sat) 23:45:31 85cdc6 No. 21986
Just as today's F1 is garbage compared to just about any previous era, WEC is garbage compared to pretty much any previous era (save for the notable period in which the FIA killed it by ending group c and everyone left).
