I've always wondered why we don't see more Silicon Valley companies or websites get involved with F1. It would be cool to see Google sponsor a car.

Besides, we should be happy that fans aren't trying to use a parody cyrptocurrency to sponsor a car.

Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly could an engine be illegal in a way that isn't blatantly obvious? Don't they have sensors that detect everything?

The same way they could have an illegal front wing?

Ferrari's trick is not using 3kg of lead protection on the turbo in case it breaks. Merc and Renault complained and Ferrari agreed to put it in sometime mid season.

Why would they complain about not having the 3kg of lead protection?

Don't know if it was posted in here, but according to Ted, the problem with Massa's pit stop wasn't because of damage to the wheel when he was hit by Alonso. It's because his pit crew accidentally switched the left and right tires (wheel nut spins differently on both sides) and it took them a while to realize that.

Speaking of tickers, I noticed something after watching a bunch of American Indy/sports car stuff recently. American TV channels almost all use a scrolling ticker of race positions on screen through the entire race.

Fox changed their NASCAR ticker this year. It's a bit similar to the F1 ticker but still has some tinkering to be done to it.

Surprised he got away with that. Its fairly obvious hes rocking the car to try and lock his wheels. Either way Rosberg will not win that race.

I don't get how you can say that when the .gif comparison in this same page shows that he was doing that same poo poo during his pole lap. Whatever though.

On a lighter note,

Yeah, I'm willing to believe Britney this time that it was an accident. The problem with the .gifs is that one is in real time and the other is slowed down, so it's harder to tell if he's trying to cause a lock up on purpose.

After this last race, Pastor Maldonado is officially in last place of the WDC. He'd probably be 3rd or 4th in the championship by now if F1 & the FIA weren't so racist.
