And the instant the cars are out of reach of the Australian courts Sauber will tell him to gently caress off.

Riso posted:It's still a big fat no. Sauber has to do it. sauber already did it, but it was too late. they WILL do it if the courts force them to. all i'm asking is if you can apply for a super license within the season, and i assume that you can.

Anyone tried F1 access? There's a free month trial so I figured I could give it a go. But this site is either bugged or badly designed. Because there's no way to actually sign up, just log in buttons everywhere.

You can apply for a super licence at any time. You just need enough points to satisfy it.

The team has to apply via the driver’s national sporting authority, and Sauber has failed to do that. From Adam Cooper. Sauber has to tell the CRB that he has a valid contract first. They didn't do this so any application wouldn't have succeeded and won't until they do. All they had to do was wait out the clock until it was too late for him to be given a license, and that seems to be what they did.

The fact they told the CRB that his had been terminated after the court decision means they're going to prison.

serious gaylord posted:The fact they told the CRB that his had been terminated after the court decision means they're going to prison. They then tried to tell the courts he couldn't race because he had no super license as a part of their defence, which was entirely their doing but something that could have been resolved up to 48 hours before the start of the event. They simply waited until he couldn't get one and the seat fitting this morning was merely to feign compliance with the court order.

Human Grand Prix posted:And Ron Dennis has killed him. Its not a car, its an elaborate time machine. They tried to use it again today, but the flex capacitor failed to engauge before it hit the wall. They are aiming for 1994 to bring back Senna and you have to admit Alonso's 1995 wasnt bad for the first try.

I think Honda were making engine noises in the R&D department for 2 years to trick people into thinking things were actually being accomplished.

Ron on the phone: "So how are things going?" Honda tech: "vvvvvvVVVVVrrrrrrRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeemmmmm!" Hey guys, stop revving so high, I can't hear Ron. It's going so good. Um, gotta go."

did anyone else catch magnussen talking to his engineer about the engine having poor power delivery? it sounded like the whole car was shuddering while he was accelerating. that was FP1 though so imagine he was describing a symptom of the problem they found. in testing everyone kept saying the honda was very driveable when it wasn't broken.

The consensus is that when working the engine is a decent engine and doesn't suffer from lumpy power delivery like Renault and Ferrari last year. The main problem is they're unlikely to have it working anytime soon.

Clarkson put it best when he stated that Honda should just stay the gently caress out of F1. Even if they win, what are we going to do? Buy their boring RAV4s?

Renault also is very successful racing wise but builds a good car like, once every 10-15 years.

With the Sauber thing, F1 drivers get their contracts terminated all the time yet lawsuits never happen from them. What makes the VdG situation different from every other contract termination?

DOOP posted:With the Sauber thing, F1 drivers get their contracts terminated all the time yet lawsuits never happen from them. What makes the VdG situation different from every other contract termination? They've stolen money from him, then didn't perform their side of the contract. He paid millions for a race seat. They took the millions, then didn't give him a race seat. It's not the same as firing the driver in the normal course of business.

The Clio Cup and Megane RS are pretty drat good, theres always a tonne of clio cups at trackdays here, although they hosed up the current version by giving it a lovely gearbox. The current Megane RS is pretty well liked though.

So what makes this case different than McLaren taking Sergio Perez' Carlos Slim money and then telling him to gently caress off a year later. Specific contract details for VdG and not Perez?
