The 2013 Formula 1 Pre-Season Thread |OT| Plenty of Time Left in the Silly Season
- Thread starter Leunam
- Start date
"Carl, are these engines for AMG team or for Mclaren?"
"They will be shipped to Woking today."
"Well, not so fast, they will undergo slight modification"
booom there goes the turbine
I'm going to start putting the F1 OT soon, and it will be in Community. This is where we were put last year so unless the mods say otherwise this is where we stay. 
If anyone has suggestions for a different F1 fantasy league please share, we need a new home now that F1RM is down for the time being.

Jesus, a whole second? That can't be right can it?
They'd be all completely out of the running.

Putting the new thread in the community section would be a shame. I obviously get where you're coming from and why the rule exists, but seeing how some community threads (iOS, iPad, iPad mini, various phone threads) are posted in OT and stay there, I can't say it's really fair. Formula 1 is a relatively small sport compared to the monsters that were moved to community and we all noticed how the OT2 basically died very quickly after moving it to the ghetto.
best 3rd sector times
ALO 27,519 secs
ROS 27,530 secs
-----
VET 28,477 secs
RAI 28,177 secs
MAL 28,331 secs
- even if RBR was sandbagging, why would WIL and LOT do the same?
- as long as MAL used last years exhaust config, he was constantly among the quickest in 3rd sector
Here is the article from AMS that Hammer24 is talking about
I presume this exhaust has better performance in high-speed corners then due to the continuous flow of hi-speed exhaust gases.
Any sector times for this from Barcelona?
They´re only saying, that when RBR had to go back to the 2012 engine software,, they lost between 3 and 4 tenth per second on a lap. This was between the first and second Barcelona week.

The thread is a continuation of a community, not the start of one. Threads like this have obviously been moved for a reason, it seems pretty futile to continually rally against it.
If someone on GAF wants to talk about F1 on GAF, they'll search and find this. If they don't think to search and choose to believe that GAF as a collective has no interest in it, then frankly they don't deserve the discussion. Lazy bum wipes.
As for the Honda stuff, it's nice to see the BBC have given it some coverage as it lends a lot of weight to the rumours. It still seems very up in the air though, who knows how it will play out.

Woah, Honda back in F1. Now that will make it more interesting. Would love to see McLaren in white again.
Anyone watch the testing on SkyF1? That was boring lol, as much as I love F1 watching the cars drive without anything really going on heh.
Lotus look like they are keeping up with the rest again, please let Kimi win more races please <3.
Oh and I want to take part in the F1 fantasy this season, when does that usually go up?

A bit OT, but Kubica is driving for Citroen in the WRC2.
http://www.gpupdate.net/en/autosport-news/291258/kubica-signs-wrc2-deal-with-citroen/
It's been 2 years since the incident and he's still recovering. There's no way we would've seen him back in F1.

Yeah it will be exciting to see if Massa can improve. He showed good pace the last few races, but else than that he's been really crappy. Ferrari must believe a lot in his ability, as they just refuse fire him despite no good results for so long.
Looks like Renault are going to return to Le Mans in the very near future.
They plan to use their 2014 engine in the LMP1 class and will also supply an engine and partner with Signatech in LMP2 class too.

Did you always have that tag? I feel like you had "member" for a while before regetting it.

Terrific article.
I'm very excited about the new engines, but at the same time nervous about their impact on competition. It's nothing a couple years of working with them won't cure, but I won't be shocked to see total domination by a single team in 2014.
