Sure I read Renault (I think) were using 40% or something! Have to try and find it.

Oh sorry I was referring to the total % of downforce created by the off throttle EBD not the amount that the throttle was open off throttle.
 
im going to predict:

vettel
hamilton
alonso


webber will slip right down the order at the start and then get a kers problem around lap 12, button will have a race were he is invisible but finishes 4th.

hamilton will get a good start but not good enough to get past vettel, they will collide at turn 2 but both retain positions with no damage.
 
Methinks the McLaren's will come on strong in the later stages of the race. Hamilton is clearly already thinking of just sitting tight for at least the first stint.
 
Schumacher for 5/6th.

Has a fresh set of spare softs, so should go well later on :)
 
Their engine sounds like a bag of nails, to the point where it seems like someone recorded audio from a real engine, then pushed the gain up too high in an audio editing suite and it got clipped, square-wave style, then, decided the resulting sound would be acceptable.. and went with it anyway.

Horrendous.
 
This tickled me :p

you don't see a problem with changing rules half way through a season:confused:,as I said this is nit a clarification, there was a written in exclusion to engine maps.
Add to that the inconsistency, they allow DD and f-duct which where specifically included. Yet something which is so actually included and written into the rules they ban it.

Since when did the FIA become consistent. Waiting for the DD quotes now, as it is a prime example of the FIA.

Noise is just a waste product, just like smells when you take a dump, who cares.
 
Question, with the change to engine maps and the changes for silverstone. Does that mean the cars will be more fuel efficient (thus can be fueled lighter)? If thats the case I'd assume the teams would get more play with ballast?

Cheers

Correct, cars will use 5-10% less fuel in races now.

Doubt it will have much effect on ballast though, drivers weight has the biggest influence there.
