Sky just answered this; Manor are officially entered so if they don't get on the track they'll be classified as 19th and 20th and eliminated (and will also DNQ since if they don't run they'll obviously not be in the 107%). Manor might have installed the latest Linux kernel by then though, we'll see!

It doesn't, Honda's strategy was to strap in a 1980s Civic engine in then completely rebuild it on reliability when they feel like it.

From what Sky said, it takes three tokens to change the piston design, but only one for the MGU.

Wait. What the gently caress happened this off-season that put Vettel in a Ferrari? I don't know what's happening now. I knew I should have payed attention to the thread.

Also, who's Manor?

Vettel announced he was leaving Red Bull for Ferrari at the end of last season. The Ferrari seat may have opened up because Alonso's people played a little too much hardball with Ferrari trying to get another contract, which let them sign Vettel and sent Alonso to McLaren.

Manor is basically Marussia, which was bought by a couple of people with more money than common sense, but because the team was supposed to be liquidated at auction until a few months ago, they did no testing, and are frantically assembling their cars in Australia to try and get them ready.

After a season of exploding or to his word at least underperforming cars and what was rumored to be a lowball contract offer there was a mutual "gently caress off."

Surely there is a warez site they can get the CD hack for the Ferrari engine. Or a trainer.
