Brazilian Grand Prix 2015, São Paulo - Race 18/19

Yeah but the reduction of pre season testing and ban on in season testing is confirmed. The reduction in race weekend practice is an idea, and not one that includes an increase in testing, so it remains a stupid idea.

It could be changed into a better one, but at the moment that isn't what's being proposed, and what you stated you agreed with.

I hope Hamilton gets his 50th pole here and his 44 win(think that's right)

Skeeter · 14 Nov 2015 at 14:42

Definitely the 44th win, Sky were banging on about it in Mexico.

In all honesty it would be easily done. Currently the calendar sits like this:

The revised provisional calendar in full:

March 20 - Australia
April 3 - Bahrain
April 17 - China
May 1 - Sochi
May 15 - Spain(3 day test)
May 29 - Monaco
June 12 - Canada
June 19 - Baku*
July 3 - Austria
July 10 - Britain (3 day test)
July 24 - Hungary
July 31 - Germany
August 28 - Belgium
September 4 - Italy
September 18 - Singapore
October 2 - Malaysia
October 9 - Japan
October 23 - USA(3 day young driver test)
November 6 - Mexico
November 13 - Brazil
November 27 - Abu Dhabi

You could easily have tests as above. Permanent tracks so staying back a couple of extra days isn't a big deal. Britain especially as most of the teams are within two hours drive. Some of the engineers could probably stay at home!

Hell, why not go crazy with the common sense and throw a test after all the European races?

MissChief · 14 Nov 2015 at 15:47

Not sure they could do it all with the double headers. There are three. I hope Belgium and Italy are back to back in 2017 as I'm hoping to do them both.

Skeeter · 14 Nov 2015 at 15:49

Yeah good point. But for the ones they could do it at its a really simple thing. The FIA just seem uninterested.

Skeeter · 14 Nov 2015 at 16:10

Oh for ***** sake Honda!!!!

alx · 14 Nov 2015 at 16:21

At least he can work on his tan

planty · 14 Nov 2015 at 16:30

Alonso and button on the podium, haha

Merlin5 · 14 Nov 2015 at 17:01

Oh my word, so close! Nico P1 again.

deuse · 14 Nov 2015 at 17:02

So close Lewis

Skeeter · 14 Nov 2015 at 17:03

Will be interesting to see if their race pace is as close/similar.

Lol Rosberg - "P2 in the championship". A trained chimp could get P2 in that car.

I wonder if Ron is starting to think about what he's going to do in 2017. Honda will have another disaster next year and then pack up and leave.

How many hours of training does the chimp need for P1? Five?
