2010 F1 Season

the bolt heads would be sealed with tamper-proof indicators

it's not as if they just trust the teams not to open 'em up

back when it didn't matter, Ferrari used to go through around 150 engines per season...

With budgets running to hundreds of millions of dollars, counterfeiting a few stickers and/or bolts would be trivial...

Hmm I wonder why "high mileage" Ferrari engines don't seem to blow up... Just saying...

( ok I know they did blow quite a few early on in the season hence their predicament... just stirring some sh&t )

I think Bernie takes enough money off the teams that he can stay one step ahead in the tamperproof bolt race

Which is half of what the Macs used to use back in the day...

Red Bull's dilemma continues as Sebastian Vettel remains the man to beat on track but Mark Webber, in his own words, inconveniently has more championship points. All the evidence suggests Vettel will again be quicker than Webber in Abu Dhabi, although he has promised to do what's best for the team, which could mean ceding position to his team-mate. But if he does so, the champagne on the podium will taste incredibly bitter as he thinks back to his seven pole position that didn't result in wins, the three 1-2 victories where he led Webber and, not least, that very costly accident in the sphincter of the universe.

hmmmm... would he really do that? Is it possible that vettel isn't a massive tool?

I highly doubt it.

Bernie would use most of the old F1 engine budget on viagra....second only to Flava Flav.

Really looking forward to practice to see what sort of pace each team really has.

so... Yas Marina looks like a wang

Looks like a crocheted peter heater aka willy warmer, out of something like Barbarella, for those old enough to remember.

I know a few engineers who worked on that disgrace of a building. They all used to have a laugh about that cock shaped disco

[ctjet]

is massa under threat for next season?

these guys keep going on about it

[ctjet]

the track does look great! theres grass and everything

shits on bahrain

[ctjet]

vettel is damn impressive

webber just needs to hold onto him

[acediac]

practice 3: Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Alonso

Commentators said Webber was studying Vettel's car inputs trying to figure out how the fck he's going so fast

[OOGTR]

Im starting to get a little nervous Really looking forward to quali tonight!

I gotta say though, reading some of the tool's interviews, he keeps mentioning whats best for the 'team'

I reakon he will do the right thing if and when it is called for

I can't see who would take his seat, Kubica is having Renault build their car around him, same with Vettel. Webber maybe? It would be interesting if Webber does go to Ferrari, that way we will have a yardstick to measure Vettel's talent vs Alonso.

Though, Massa's probably the kind of teammate Alonso wants, docile and whipped, unlike Hamilton.

Yeah the problem is he won't make the decision till the last lap, and if Alonso is right up Webber's bum it would be pointless.

I just hope nobody gets taken out... just a little *pop* from the Ferrari on lap 3 will do... :D Then Vettel can get the win, and Webber the WDC EDIT: nm that doesn't work

Nope, MW needs both SV and FA to finish or both to crash/stop. He will almost be cheering on SV to run first for all but the last lap and FA for 3rd or 4th place.

The only other wildcard is if LH can hold 3rd then SV is free to turn his engine into a shower of sparks.

That's what I mean, even if it was Vettel, Webber and Alonso in that order on the last lap, if Alonso is too close to Webber, Vettel can't slot in between Webber and Alonso, so it would be pointless then to try and give Webs the win.

[wolverine]

Oops sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of "pop".

Ironically MW's biggest threats are his best chance if they can circulate reliably....or catastrophically crash into each other.

Yeah I meant a Ferrari conrod fireworks display

Unfortunately for Webs, he's more likely to be tangling with Alonso than Vettel is, based on recent performance...

EDIT: Oops I forgot, if SV wins and Alonso is out of the picture, he gets the WDC based on number of wins, not Webber... so yeah, Alonso's engine popping is not good news for Webber either...
