"One of the new measures will limit teams to using just one wind tunnel, with squads only permitted to carry out 15 runs over each eight-hour day. Weekend wind tunnel testing will also be banned and the FIA also plans to introduce limitations to prevent teams from diverting wind-tunnel resources into Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

It was also revealed that further restrictions would be announced concerning rig testing, design and manufacturing, suspension and brakes, hydraulic systems, bodywork, weight distribution, circuit testing and the number of personnel at races."
A KEY part of F1 is the technology...does this spell disaster for the sport as we know it???

Question is, Did Kingfisher ever sponsor a F1 team before? I have a recollection that they did, but I could be wrong!

The FIAs decision not to punish Renault for exactly the same crime as Mclaren were found to be guilty of proves beyond all doubt the negative bias against Mclaren. The same breach of the rules: Mclaren is fined a record $100m, yet Renault escape scot-free. Can anyone explain that to me please? Is that the FIA's version of fairness, equal treatment and justice? Pathetic. Mclaren should now prosecute the FIA for every last Ferrari cent they have.

When I was in junior high, I loved to watch Indy car racing. Then when we were moved to Japan (dad was in the Navy), I discovered Formula 1. I became hooked instantaneouly. After a few years of watching Formula 1, I always wondered if they could put an Indy car vs. a Formula 1 car. I already have my opinion on this. What's yours?

I see everyone here getting excited about the fact that TC is gone next year but its not going to make a huge difference. The cars huge amounts of downforce make it very hard for drivers to spin the tyres anyway. If the cars were still V10s i could see it being different but with the limited power they have from the V8s these days it is simply smothered by the huge aerodynamic grip the cars have.

The removal of variable engine braking is a much bigger hindrence to drivers yet nobody even mentions that and even that is not going to make a huge difference.

Look at the testing times from last week, no one struggled. No one was unable to put the power down. The only difference that will happen is that when a driver does make a mistake it will probably mean he will get more sideways than before.

Sorry to burst everyones bubble here who thinks that next year will be like the good ol' days but thats just the way it is going to be.

I live in Europe and can go to one of the EU races next year with a friend. Not so much interested in the track itself, but more the entire experience of the race itself, the vibe in the grandstands, the accessibility of the track, parties afterwards, etc. I went to the Ring this year in Germany and it was fun, but the logistics of getting to and leaving the track were brutal and there were no hotels within 50km of the track. We would arrive Friday night and leave Sunday. Thanks in advance for your help.

Question says it all. I know for the most part a new car is built for each season, so what do the constructors do with the old cars?

First off this has nothing to do with the perceived difficulty of racing so lets not bring that into it.

F1 drivers are the best of the best. People from all around the world, from every country in the world aspiring to get into it. That is pretty much every road racers dream. The fact of the matter is that more people take part in racing in the UK(with a population of 60million) than in the whole of the US (population of 300million). Now think about this, there are as many racers again taking part in Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Japan, South America, Eastern Europe, Finland(small population but its a religion over there), pretty much every country in the world.

It is the very best of those that make it into F1. Those who won championships in Karting, formula renault, F3, F3000, GP2, Touring cars, etc.

What makes people here think the average NASCAR driver is better than the average F1 driver. There are so many more trying to get into F1 that the standard must be higher

Did F1 become a spec tire series by default, or does Bridgestone have exclusive rights to supply F1 teams?

Was it me or did he and mclaren spend all season critising Alonso for wanting No.1 driver status saying that this cannot be because the team will only treat them as equals .. no preferential treatment, yet he's all over the press now crowing that now alonso's gone... next year he will be the mclaren No.1 driver ????....
