2014 Formula 1 Season Paddock

He's already been granted a new spot

 

Pretty sure Alonso hasn't been lapped yet this season

 

Correct, but that's only 1/2 the team.

 

The better half

 

Lots of interesting comments on this one. If the engine development is frozen, then more fuel is the answer, but we all saw what happened in Aussie to Riccardo, over that 100kg/p/h and you are toast by the FIA....
Quite the delema

 

Actually , the answer is not more fuel , look at Mercedes

 

Different internal engine design, and I think the big difference is how the turbo's are. I think the merc has the turbo shaft go right through the engine with the turbine on one end and impeller on the other, whereas the reno, has them more like a traditional turbo, close together. It was a comment by one of the announcers during last weeks race, just don't remember whether it was during practice, qualifying or the race.
They were talking about the advantage of the separation in regards to the intake temperature and that the aftercoolers would 'potentially' work better in the merc, because of this design.
Anyway, just a thought

 

That's the whole concept of challenging the engineers to come up with the best solution within a set of rule parameters

We went to the traditional Thursday open house pit lane walk today

Saw Kamui Kobayashi walking the track with the Caterham engineers while we were waiting for the shuttle bus to take us to pit lane

Saw some McLarens in town as well as Vettel's Infinity Red Bull SUV

 

Nice! Keep us updated, wish I could make it to COTA this year but maybe next year.

 

Also just found out one of the support series is the Masters HGP , which is a 21 car series featuring F1 cars from the 70's and 80's

 

Looks like Ferrari's upgrades are legit , Alonso fastest in FP1

 

Those ones are fun to watch, they had historic cars the last 2 years at COTA in Austin too. Some of those guys actually get after it and get to racing pretty good too.

On my flight out of Austin the first year down there I actually sat next to one of the mechanics for some of the historic cars and got to talk to him all about them for a 2 hour flight.

Hamilton tops FP2
