Happy birthday to the greatest team in LFS.

I corrected that for you

/me runs

Thank you all for the congratulations

Quote from VoiD :

Update:
- layouts

New feature: layouts, now in every corner's run off area, 'cause skyrocketing is much more fun.

(Best example is fe3r, full grid and [del]enjoy[/del] survive the first 3 corners.)

Happy birthday to us

Quote from tinvek :

how about the hulk as the young fast german guy at williams with heidfeld as the more experienced german driver leading him to future F1 triumph? heidfeld has probably realised he isn't going to be world champion so being credited as one of the influences of possibly germany's next champion might sit pretty good with him and williams gain a fast replacement for nico, a driver that knows how they work that they respect and who can communicate exactly what he means to his young team mate, they stay popular with any german sponsors that nico may have attracted and if toyota decided to pull from F1, williams would be very hard for mercedes to ignore with two german drivers needing engines

I doubt that we'll see 2 germans driving for a british team, no matter how skilled they are.

Quote from pasibrzuch :

I would like too see Robert in a good team too, but it's hard to guess which one.
Right now I vote for RBR

I thought RBR is full? Vettel + Webber.

Will be interesting to see if Kubica even stays with BMW till the end of the season.

Gonna look bad for Heidfeld, "he's getting too old for that shit" and is too quiet to promote himself for a good seat. He's more like a silent driver, getting the job done and noone notices. Not really a big PR guy.

Quote from TexasLTU :

Kubica - One of those new teams, or Renault to replace Piquet.
Heidfeld - Williams

I kinda doubt Heidfeld could get a williams seat atm. Either Rosberg goes to McLaren and Hülkenberg gets the drive or he see's that Williams might be a better option to stay in F1 (depending on Mercedes F1 standing). And I don't see 2 germans driving for Williams (in case they get rid of Nakajima).

Or am I seeing it wrong with the Weber managed Hülkenberg?

The invite to the press conference said it had been called because of 'current developments in motor sport.'

Give me a break... Just say it's too expensive for you and that you rather spend your money to save some jobs in the factory than throw it on Motorsport and everyone will at least see you point.

But this wording just makes you sound like a bunch whiners running back to mommy because they are not winning.

Chuck Norris doesn't drive. The world just spins into the position he wants to be.

Quote from Blackout :

I think I missed the last year French GP, but I imagine a tire is more heavier than small bits of metal and will carry more momentum and force on impact? And did they knew? FIA claim Renault knew exactly what was going on but didn't do anything.

The penalty on Renault is harsh and would not have been given without the accidents we've seen in a week. My heart missed a beat when I saw the wheel finally coming off, and I think the stewards had a similar experience.

I don't really see a difference in getting hit by a spring a part of an exhaust system. Both is dangerous.

I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure that a good driver (and according to some people Alsonso is one of them) can tell the difference between a loose and a damaged tire. You could even see it on the onboard footage that the tire was loose and not damaged.

They did punish him only that hard because of what has happend, not just because of the rules. Sure it's dangerous, but a suspension for the next race is just a big joke.

Edit other example:
Anyone remembering the Nurburgring Race where a mclaren suspension broke at the end of the mainstraight due not changing a heavily flatspotted tire? That was also preventable and since the tire flew away also pretty dangerous. But I can't remember any suspension...

FIA going mental again...

Renault suspended for the next race. That's pure actionism and only be done because of last weeks incidents. And that's just stupid.

Of course Alonso should have stoped (especially if he really had a damaged fuel pump already) the moment he noticed that he had a loose wheelnut, but it has happend before that a driver was sent on track with that (and even lost a wheel, I think it was Hakkinen at British GP) and there was no penalty afterwarts.

A fine and a warning would have been enough. (I guess noone remembered the next GP being in Valencia... Not really a big help to sell at least some tickets... But the Turkey method can be applied on other tracks to I guess.)

we demand pictures !!!

I'll try to drive slower next time

I'm sorry but I just got kicked for too being fast?

(ky2r: if you can draft through the whole oval part you will eventuall get below the split check time)

Here goes the hype / wild guessing again

why are they even allowed to put a driver who has basicly no f1 experience (cut the straight line test bullshit) in the grid?

shame for bourdais though (and how red bull seems to behave in general with drivers (speed) who are not their first choice anymore. that doesn't really speak for the company...)

Quote from 91mason91 :

scawen i noticed that everytime with Z15 no matter how many reinstalls i do when i press shift+f4 to get out of windowd mode and to go back in it again i have to re calibrate my wheel.

Unlocking with standard Z and then uprgading works.
