Gaz6002 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Nothing is certain yet but it's looking surprisingly good considering pre-season comments. Schumy looks like he's right on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Fantastic result for RB, wonder why they are not using KERS? It was installed on the car, but they said they chose not to use it (whether that is BS I'm not sure).. Also a great result for Mclaren, but Jenson seemed a little surprised when told the 3 in front of him didn't have KERS! He was compromised on a few of his laps so I don;t think we got to see how big the difference between him and Lewis is. Looking forward to the race tomorrow RB are going to have a difficult start if they don't use KERS, I'm hoping Lewis and Jenson can gain a place each in the first corner, should make for some interesting few laps.

tbourner Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm liking the rear wing, should prevent all the times a faster car just sits behind someone for laps on end not being able to get past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I've got a question, what sort of ride height do the f1 cars have? couple of CM off the deck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Fantastic result for RB, wonder why they are not using KERS? If they really didn't use it then the pace that Vettel has is truly something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've got a question, what sort of ride height do the f1 cars have? couple of CM off the deck? It depends on the particular set-up. When flat out it's about 2mm - 3mm at the front axle and maybe 5mm - 7mm at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 what was wrong with their rear wings to get them DQd? http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2011/03/27/perez-kobayashi-disqualified-results/ The FIA found them in breach of articles 3.10.1 and 3.10.2 of the technical regulations which relates to radius angles of the working surfaces or something.

tbourner Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 TBH I thought the wings would make more of a difference to the race, lets hope they open up the areas of the track where it can be used and not just on one straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I dont really understand why there wasn't an investigation into vettels pass on button, he had all four wheels well over the line(im talking at least a meter) so therefor overtaking outside the boundary of the track? Although it was under different circumstances Button got a drive through for doing the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Didn't Martin Brundle say he had already passed Button and then went over the line, I would have to see it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinboy Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Is anybody else as excited as me that Sean Bean is doing the voiceover at the start of the bbc coverage? Possibly just me i reckon. But I have always loved the drama of F1 - and for me it just adds to it. Please someone tell me i'm not the only one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Is everyone else getting that nasty sound mismatch? I thought it was my HTS but it's on TV, cable, everything I try. Not really a problem during the race but very annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
