Probably Mercedes. They had an opening for a technical director in charge of rivet heads.

Haha

The only reason I can think of (if there is one) would be so that corner is clear for the car leaving the pits a little quicker.

but both old tyres will end up in front of the car, leaving less room to drive out of the pits. The hangover from refuelling is most likely right.

also, they forgot to picture the fire crew. There is at least one person armed with a fire extinguisher for any fires that break out.

Looks like James Allison is set to join Ferrari, great hire by Ferrari if true.

Back to the team he worked with during the glory years in 00-05. Ferrari assembling a pretty good tech team to compete with Red Bull & Mercedes for 2014 and onwards.

I'm trying to identify the car. My first thought was a 2010/11 HRT, but the nose isn't right.

OMG http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2013/05/09/penalty-points-system-drivers-moves-step-closer/

That's it F1 is now DEAD.

 

[Skeeter]

Retarded isn't it.

 

[Janesy B]

Can't see anything wrong with that personally.

 

[Mr Men]

Can't see anything wrong with that personally.

Me either.

 

[Skeeter]

Can't see anything wrong with that personally.

So you think it would be ok for someone to get a race ban on top of a drive through penalty for an unsafe pit release, for example?

And to penalise someone for being penalised?

 

[Janesy B]

A dangerous exit from a pit stop is 2 points so they need to do it SIX times before a ban is imposed and yes if you've been banned previously you should have a stricter point limit before you are banned again (which is what they are doing effectively by adding on 5 points for a race ban). Stops people from pushing their luck all the time. Even the teams are behind it, so it's something they obviously want.

Don't even know what deuse is talking about by saying F1 is now 'dead'. Stupid overreaction.

 

[Skeeter]

I'm already discussing this in the Turbo Penalty thread, so I will quote you in there...

 

[smr]

I don't see any problem with it.

 

[smr]

the only reason deuse is reacting like a big girl is because hamilton is wreckless.

 

[Skeeter]

Wasn't there a website that listed all drivers penalties and infractions? Can anyone remember where it is?

F1 is getting all girly. Glad I was brought up when true racers was about.

Take a look at the of some of the 1980s races the FIA would have banned the lot during the start\race
if they had these silly girly rules then.
