Did you know... that a Formula 1 car is more fuel-efficient than a normal passenger car? While a 900bhp racing car uses 0.78 litres of petrol per bhp, a compact-class car with 75bhp uses 0.093 litres.

Erm, I'm probably having a dumb moment (there's quite a few in each day for me), doesn't this mean that a compact-class car is more efficient? I always thought that 0.093 litres was less than 0.780 litres :confused:

The A1GP should be interesting this weekend, thankfully I've got Sky+ so I'll record both qualifiers and races for later watching.

It might prove to be the kick up the behind that improves GPs in years to come if it delivers everything it claims to.

I suspect that it's meant to be 0.078l/bhp

How much more does a compact car weigh compared to a f1 car though? I realise this isnt any direct relation to your comment, but when the compact can move three or four people dont you have to compare one compact to four F1 cars - well maybe not but you get the drift. Thank you for the nugget anyway though

Sato to leave BAR

Following the confirmation that Jenson Button will partner Rubens Barrichello at BAR next season, and that his only possible role with the Brackley team is as third, and test, driver, Takuma Sato will not stay with the team, according to his manager.

Talking to Reuters, Andrew Gilbert-Scott, said: "I can't see any point. I can't see any benefit at all because obviously there are two race drivers on long-term contracts so there's no future. We want to find something to move forward."

Although the team's test driver, Anthony Davidson, is pushing hard for a race seat with Jordan (Midland F1), the Brackley team is amassing a number of young chargers, including Alan van der Merwe, Danilo Dirani, Adam Carroll and James Rossiter. Therefore, there is a wealth of talent coming through, and little (realistic) opportunity for Sato.

There is speculation that Takuma might return to the team that gave him his F1 racing debut, Jordan, however, it is unlikely that the Toyota-powered team is going to want a former Honda protege on board.

"We are working on trying to get him in a race seat for next year, that's my priority," admitted Gilbert-Scott. "I'm hoping, I'm optimistic.

"I'm not looking at America or anything else," he continued. "I'm very optimistic that we'll get something in Formula One. "We've had a lot of support and there's been a huge amount of disappointment (in Japan) at what has happened."

Awwww....

Poor poor Sato...

It's an embarassment he's managed to last as long as he did it. All he's could for is wrecking the engine or stacking the car. Can't believe he got a drive purely because he was Japanese.

Apparently there is quite a bit of uproar about Honda kicking out there only Japanese driver. What I can't understand is wouldn't it be better for BAR Honda to have two good drivers and do well in the constructors? Or have a Japanese driver who has some appeal in Japan but bins the car every race and badly affects BAR Honda's standing in the championship?

Glad to see him go either way.

How's the A1GP thread coming along Flib?

Are you forgetting his drive for Jordan in Japan 2002? Qualified 7th and finished 5th. Not bad for an F1 rookie in a non works engined car.

Not really, granted he's not the most consistent but he's shown far more sparks of speed and competitiveness than a lot of the grid over the years.

Trust me, I AM glad to see him go.

Potential and talent or no. Cos I don't like him. He is consistent though, consistently poor.

Wasn't as bad as the Jap driver in the mid 90's who hit the safety car and got run over by a support vehicle though. lol.

im no sato fan but its a bit harsh to say he got a drive just because he was japanese

"Remaining in F3 for 2001, Sato started the season as clear favourite for the British championship, with good reason. He dominated the championship and broke the record for the number of wins in the British F3 Championship with 12 out of 13 possible victories, as well as first place in the Marlboro Masters of F3 at Zandvoort and the International race supporting the British Grand Prix. He also impressed with his test outings for BAR, which took place mainly at Silverstone and Mugello. Sato ended his Formula 3 career on a high when he won the Macau Grand Prix in November 2001, taking victory in both the preliminary qualifying event and the main race and providing further evidence of the outstanding talent which has earned him a seat in Formula One with Jordan Grand Prix in 2002."

Murf · 23 Sep 2005 at 14:59

That's all well and good but it's Formula 3. Compare him to Button this year and last. Same league of driver? I think not. He's erratic, prone to mistakes and hard on his car. After last season he would have been replaced if Honda didn't buy a 45% stake in BAR, in my opinion.

He could have won every race he's ever entered outside of Formula 1 and I'd still not rate him as his performances in a Formula 1 car have been shocking. Most of the time at least.

Looks like its going to be a very pivotal race, if Mclaren mess this one up Alonso should win.

Can't remember what year it was (pretty recent though) there was a brilliantly destructive race where around 6 cars got crashed at the same corner. There was a pile of scrap F1 car behind the barrier, was quite an awesome site.

Suppose I'd better update this now the A1GP thread is up to date ish...

Webber voted off GPDA

Mark Webber has been voted off the board of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA).

The Australian told reporters at Interlagos that the association believed it had more directors than needed, therefore it was a case of 'last in, first out'. The remaining directors are Michael Schumacher, David Coulthard and Jarno Trulli.

"They thought four was one too many, so they had a vote," said the WilliamsF1 driver. "I haven't lost any sleep over it."

There are many that feel the GPDA lacks teeth and doesn't really dare to speak out, though Webber has been fairly outspoken on a number of issues since becoming a director. However, following a couple of incidents this season there have been 'words' between Webber and both Coulthard and Schumacher.

KEKE: NICO IN WITH WILLIAMS CHANCE

Former world champion Keke Rosberg believes his son Nico is in with a chance of making his Formula 1 debut with Williams this season.

Uncertainty over whether the Grove team’s injured regular driver Nick Heidfeld will be fit to race again this season has prompted speculation that GP2 star Rosberg will be drafted in for the season-closing races in Japan and China.

Rosberg Snr admits no deal has been done, but is optimistic that Williams will take the plunge.

Speaking at the A1GP meeting at Brands Hatch, he told ITV-F1.com: “It’s not for me to say because Williams are the ones with all the data, and they know whether or not Nico is capable of doing it.

“But there’s been a lot of speculation and you’d have to assume there’s something in it.”

However, Williams technical director Sam Michael suggested that, while 20-year-old Rosberg is highly rated by the team, it may be premature to throw him in at the deep end before he has gained more experience.

“I would say it is unlikely but there is still a possibility there,” Michael told Autosport-Atlas at Interlagos.

“[Rosberg] is obviously a very good young driver, he is definitely on our list for the future, but whether he races for the last two grands prix is something that Frank Williams can decide race by race.”

Michael emphasised the team’s high estimation of Rosberg’s potential, and confirmed that the German-born driver is on its shortlist for the vacant race seat alongside Mark Webber in 2006.

“I think he has shown what he can do in GP2,” Michael said.

“Everyone has seen what he has done this year is pretty good, and what he has shown us inside a Formula 1 car is pretty good as well.

“Frank has got a couple of options for our second race seat and Nico is definitely one of the guys on that list, as are others, so we will have to wait and see.

“[When Williams first tested him] we could see straight away that he was a very intelligent guy, probably one of the smartest of his age I have come across.

“When I say the smartest I mean from an engineering perspective; he had a very good understanding of car dynamics, tyres and things like that, even at that age, and that was pretty impressive.

“I guess that has come through things handed down by his father.”

BMW: JV'S PLACE IS NOT ASSURED

BMW motorsport boss Mario Theissen has made it clear that Jacques Villeneuve’s position in the German manufacturer’s works squad for 2006 is not assured – despite the driver’s claims that he has a cast-iron contract.

“We have been fully focused on getting Nick [Heidfeld] under contract for next year in the first instance and now we are looking into the other issue,” Theissen told news agency Reuters.

Villeneuve maintains that BMW is bound by his existing two-year contract with Sauber, which runs until the end of 2006.

But the former world champion’s lacklustre form in the first part of the season and the BMW takeover in the summer put his position in the team into jeopardy.

Villeneuve has since raised his game and begun to match and sometimes beat Ferrari-bound team-mate Felipe Massa – a fact acknowledged by current team boss Peter Sauber.

Theissen says that JV’s recent performances have improved his chances of retaining the drive, but stressed that he has more to do to prove he is the right choice for BMW.

“Apparently we all saw that even a world champion cannot return after a period of being out of the sport and be competitive right from the start. So Jacques's first half of the season was certainly not encouraging,” said Theissen.

“Now he is catching up and we just decided we wanted to see him in the second half of the season.

“We don’t see ourselves under any time pressure but that’s on our table now. You will see the definite line-up at the first race. Anything can happen in Formula 1.”

Other candidates on BMW’s shortlist are believed to include BAR test driver Anthony Davidson and his McLaren counterpart Alex Wurz.
