F1 2012 Car launch dates

They haven't replaced the spot which was open, so what makes you think they would suddenly open a spot, if another team fails.

They had the chassis supllier IP issues, so they llost the 2nd year, finance and other issues. So they are behind where they should be, but a lot of its understandable.

It might be understandable, but that doesn't mean its acceptable. I don't think its wrong to be expecting more from them.

That said, HRT are ahead of Marussia in my book. At least HRT are putting out some updates. Marussia are worryingly silent...
 
No idea on car.

But they have some good sponsorship deals in place. Probably got those two late for this years car. Isn't Marussia a big Russian car manufacture.
 
But when did marussia take over? That's the biggest issue IMO. They haven't had a proper sponsor, even virgin seemed to just want a cheap deal. If marussia stay for a few years, they should pick up steadily.
 
It finally passed the crash tests, something the other teams did by Christmas IIRC. They are hoping to make it to the final test for two days.


oops was referring to HRT there ^



Marussia should be at all days of the final test with their new car.
 
Rumour says yes, can't find any diff unitive news articles though.

Also classic nose.
““In fact, there was little difference in theory between the two solutions. So why take risks with something that we do not know?” said a source within the team.

One of the main reasons for this, is of course, that Marussia is using McLaren´s test rigs and windtunnel, and despite a positive start for the team´s efforts during pre-season testing, they were forced to cut their running short in Barcelona, due to susoension issue. That meant Charles Pic didn´t get any running on Friday, the final testing day, but since he was testing their old 2011 car, no further progress could be made. Now the main focus is the launch of the 2012 car, which will be launched next week..

What does that mean? They are keeping a high nose so will have a step, or they already had a bulkhead low enough to allow them to have a smooth nose like McLaren?
 
iPad/iPhone.
iPad at moment, still with phantom screen presses. Especially on delete button. Still haven't sent it back after getting screen replaced.
 
Why couldn't those that wanted to get in at the time but weren't wanted come in now by the back door? i.e. buy a backmarker team? Could a take over the stopped?

If Prodrive bought russian virgins or whatever its called now and name it Aston Martin could anyone stop them?

I suspect my post is about 3 years out of date :)
