yes they did you are correct- but too late to make any difference in last year's title hunt which is what I was referring to
maybe should have made the point more obviously

I don't get why people are saying this as if to suggest the team are biased towards Schumacher at the moment. Ofcourse I know all the history of Schumi in F1 teams getting all the parts and so on but Rosberg has said himself he wanted the car to be changed like this!
It just happened that the first race with the new car Rosberg didn't beat Schumi and suddenly its all "New car for Schumi that Rosberg didn't want" :/
Well it would have taken a minor miracle to bring the McLaren up to the front of the field within 3-4 races last year it was that bad, there were so many more teams in front of them and Ferrari, shame they didn't have the resources to catch up.
He has to say that as MS is lead driver!

Random image of Renault's R30 car in their Champs-Élysées showroom.

I think that's a given. I doubt they'd have a full on F1 car sitting doing nothing in a showroom
. I guess it's a replica or a formula car with a new shell.
Its not a real R30, looks like a mish-mash of previous years cars. Still looks the win though!
Soldato
Isn't the rear section of the 2010 cars longer due to the bigger fuel tank?
Soldato
Looks like what I think most of us wish the modern cars look like!
No snow plow at the front, full width rear wing, slicks and not covered with loads of fins!

I think there was also a Minardi that had an extra wing on the front just before the driver at Monaco a few years ago, now that was hideous
New evidence to explain Hamilton's displeasure
While the fall-out from the crash involving the two Red Bull drivers has understandably dominated the Formula 1 agenda in the days since the Turkish Grand Prix, a potentially just as dangerous flashpoint has been largely ignored.

all a bit rubbish, either allow team orders or punish them.
Surly the fact hamiltons engineer said, Button would not over take is evidence that he thought team orders were in play.
This race has massively annoyed me. GGGrrrrrrrr.
Team orders and RBR cheating. It's not teh fact they got away with it as such. FIA as said has a stretchy rule book and tape measure. It's the apparent media ban and no word from FIA on it.

I know
.What I meant was it's not an R30. It's the right livery of course, but the design is not correct.

Absolutely awesome race edit from this
Agree with this. But don't forget Hamilton asks first, which makes the whole situation pathetic
I don't follow. Why would Hamilton asking, make the situation pathetic?
In fact why would the entire situation surrounding team orders be pathetic?
You do realise that team orders have been in play ever since F1 began? The only different now is that you cannot openly admit to the use of team orders.
As long as outfits are operating as a TEAM, it is impossible to prevent team orders in F1 (or indeed any sport).
