2008 F1 Season

I dunno. I guess it is easy to blame Renault for everything but the reality is it is hard to increase terminal speed without a huge increase in horsepower.

Put it this way if you carry more wing you will increase your apex speed at the expense of the terminal velocity.

So I am by no means sure that all of Red Bulls issues are down to the engine alone.

I vaguely remember Arrows blaming all things Yamaha for their lack of speed. Ron Tauranac briefly came on board & fixed their engine installation problems for them. Result - a happy motor & a far more competitive car.

P1 is live now...

Fark and I am still on site. Oh well and not finished for another 3 hours. Oh well, guess that means I miss qualifying on Saturday as well:(

[wolverine]

practice 2 on now.

doesn't Spa look sooo good. this is a real race track.

Another race over for Webber as runs into the tyre barriers due to damp track. He'll get knocked out in the Q1 due to 'lack of track time' and will finish about 15th in the race.

Now it's Kimi that backs it into a wall, wonder if he'll have the gearbox/engine replaced just as a precaution.

I cringe at the lack of strategic ingenuity of the Ferrari team these days...

Possible fuel loads of the top ten drivers.... bigger the difference = heavier fuel load.
