WhoNeedsAName posted:So apparently Force India are testing the Info Wing system today. IF it gets fitted to Maldonado's can it just display "Not Crashed Yet!" when he's still actually circulating? This is Antony Hamilton's "invention" right? Edit: yes it is and it looks like poo poo:

Exactly, Andrew Benson is hardly the most reliable source of information when it comes to F1 and whenever he writes about another part of motorsport it's usually utter crap.

George Zimmer posted:I get why the series wants to focus on city circuits because of the whole green angle, but I hope they'll include road courses in the future. They won't, a big part of the focus on street circuits is that these cars have very low top speeds but incredible acceleration, so the cars look terrible on even medium length straights. The slow corner - short burst - slow corner style of the street circuits shows them off at their best so that's where they go.

Dudley posted:Well he'll get a 4 year ban, how many people are going to want to hire a 39 year old that's been out of cars for 4 years? Well his driver grading might go down with a 4 year break so I guess some LMP2 team looking for a good silver?

Wirth1000 posted:So the FIA released the new requirements in order to get a superlicense. I actually quite like it and it should as a nice boost to a bunch of neglected feeder series. I like that you could win 3 consecutive FIA World Championships in an open wheel series where half the grid are ex-F1 drivers and earn 0 points since they completely blanked Formula E.

thegasman2000 posted:FFs the whole sport is retarded. The marussia was loving poo poo last year and this years cars a quicker. Please explain what they were worried about. By existing as an F1 team Marussia would get the money they "won" last season at the end of this season. If they don't exist it'll go to the rest of the teams, who are the ones voting on whether Marussia can run old cars so that they may continue to exist.

Whitey Ford posted:How fast is the modern safety car and at what point in history would it have out qualified all other cars on the grid? Genuinely interested. It's still an SLS AMG right? Obviously the SC is closer to the road-going version but the GT3 version qualified 3rd at Spa in 2:18.934, the F1 107% cutoff there this year was 2:16.029.

Ilanin posted:If the F1 cut-off was 2:16.029 it was because it was wet. Normally a lap of Spa in an F1 car takes around 105-110 seconds. The last time we had a dry qualifying at Spa was 2012; 107% was 1:56.622. The first time F1 cars raced at the new Spa (in 1983), 2:18.934 would have put you just behind Salazar in last on the grid. This sounds almost respectable, so I'm going to point out that Salazar was 14 and a half seconds off pole and five seconds behind the next-to-last driver. Yeah I had a feeling it was probably wet but I couldn't be bothered to check v  v
