Australian Grand Prix 2011, Albert Park Circuit - Race 1/19

- Start date
It was said in FP3, that all teams had agreed for everyone to take place in the race, regardless of the 107% rule. So I expect to see them on the start grid.
That was his "failed" last lap, but it was only 0.06 slower than his pole.
Hopefully we'll get onboard pole lap with graphics. Then we can see exactly what he used.
100% agreed, the amount of power it currently stores is tiny compared to its potential - one of the things that could florish if de-restricted, especially in its real world applications

Yep, as I said many times. if f1 tech had real world benefits. You would have floods of sponsorship money and companies wnating in on f1. In it's current form. It is less than useless. It is that they should be concentrating on in the rules, not budget cutting. I still think they should allow other forms of energy to be used. I wouldn't expect to see an electric or hyrdorgen car for ages, but if it's there it not only shows the green side, but has real world application and will attract companies.

Qualifying - selected team and driver quotes
Months of waiting - and conjecture - came to end on Saturday afternoon, as the grid’s 24 runners finally pitted themselves against each other in anger during qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix. Neither HRT driver managed to set a time within the new 107 percent rule, Renault’s Nick Heidfeld was a surprise faller in Q1 and the McLarens looked in unexpectedly good form with Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button finishing in second and fourth. The day, however, belonged to reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel who set a scintillating time to take a dominant pole position for Red Bull...

I doubt it is start only, for the simple fact is they could have used it in qauli.
Even if it is, I very much doubt there is a rule saying it has to charge up in race. Just that it has to comply with certain rules, which it almost certainly does.
Am I going blind or have they removed the rule book from the http://www.formula1.com site I can only find sumerised and certain extracts from the full version, but not the hole lot.
I don;t know, could be any number of reasons including reliability or setup. Perhaps they think it unsettles the car to much due to the way it recovers energy and have disconnected it.
This is what we need to know. If it was used on a failed lap, then it could lend credence to the start only kers.
That's because ones a Torro Rosso
Oops.. Ultimate fail.
