Ferrari: New rules must push technology
Formula 1's likely switch to smaller turbocharged engines from 2013 must include the introduction of cutting-edge fuel efficiency technology too, claims Ferrari's CEO Amedeo Felisa.

Mercedes to increase W01 wheelbase
Mercedes hopes the longer wheelbase car it plans to introduce at the Spanish Grand Prix will help it get a grip on the weight distribution issues that it has encountered so far this season.

Rosberg expects Schumacher to improve
Nico Rosberg is not expecting to maintain his early advantage over team-mate Michael Schumacher all season - admitting that he never thought he would be able to deliver such strong form.

@All
A turbocharged 1.5L producing only 670bhp is not what I wanted because it is only 70bhp more then what GP2 engines are producing, I wants a near 1000bhp turbocharged 1.5L engine and looks like thats the same thing what Mercedes boss Norbert Haug wants too. As for Ferrari's suggestion of GDI or Gasoline Direct Injection system I am all for it instead of nowadays EFI engines.

So mercedes admit publically that they have gone for the wrong weight distribution in the first place, I hope long wheelbase works for both Michal and Rosberg, instead of providing unfair advantage to anyone. It also proves that Michal was gathering data in the early races for solving the issue.

For Sure He Was Building the car for himself ... its his first season after 3 year break and with a car that wasnt made for him . i never saw micheal racing .. but i think he will come up good from now on or at the end of the season but surely he will come up ....

[m_waqas]

^ obviously schumi will improve..everyone knows that...but until that happens he's the favorite punching bag of everyone (or for me at least)...i just love to see schumi under-perform .....

Ferrari: New rules must push technology

i like that..

hmmm... is GDI system fuel efficient or not?..doesn't sound like one...

[m_waqas]

FIA will most likely allows single tyre supplier because Michelin wants to be paid by the teams which is against the FIA's intention of cost cutting and I think in last 3 years we have some really exciting racing and no tyre fiasco as all the teams have to rely on the same tyres so on different tracks dfferent teams have a bit of advantage with respect to their cars.
Michelin asking to be paid?...thats not happpened for a longtime, has it?...
and yes 'cost cutting' syndrome has embedded deep into FIA's mind...they will do whatever to bring down the cost...personally i'd like to see more than one tyre manufacturers...

@m_waqas
Here it is something about GDI from wikipedia:
Gasoline Direct Injection:
In internal combustion engines, gasoline direct injection (GDI) is a variant of fuel injection employed in modern two- and four- stroke petrol engines. The petrol/gasoline is highly pressurised, and injected via a common rail fuel line directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder, as opposed to conventional multi-point fuel injection that happens in the intake tract, or cylinder port.
In some applications, gasoline direct injection enables a stratified fuel charge (ultra lean burn) combustion for improved fuel efficiency, and reduced emission levels at low load.

So, I think GDI is fuel efficient system which could really works with turbocharged F1 engines of the future.

Bro, I know Michal is a good punching bag by most F1 fans for a long long time but please punch responsibly because otherwise it could come back towards you in the near future.

[LEFT]All sounds good but will Ferrari agree to an inline 4?

Whatever Mercedes comes up with at Barcelona, it will look like a big step because the current car is clearly not what they expected but the next two or three races are crucial for him. Four races into the season and 10 points is not what he, Mercedes, the sponsors, fans or bookies expected. I hope they bring out something crap. Before the season started, i put some money on Schumacher not winning a single race this year. So far i am not doing badly and looking forward to a small profit:D

The question that needs to be answered is, why is Schumacher in F1, what is he here to achieve? If he wanted to get back behind the wheel, missed the competition and is here to enjoy himself and give Mercedes a lot of column space, help them develop the team for Vettel's eventual arrival, and if he won a few races doing that, then all is going according to plan. It's something that Bernie alluded to in a recent interview, the publicity they got because of him;

Q: How valuable is the combination of Michael Schumacher and Mercedes?
BE: Michael’s Mercedes comeback has a touch of magic. I don’t know any other combination that on the one hand is so fascinating and on the other has a huge potential to be extremely successful. Maybe the only other that springs to my mind is Fernando Alonso and Ferrari. Michael is an asset to every team - and Mercedes can save a lot of money because they can get rid of the team manager, as Michael has already been the team manager at Benetton and Ferrari! (Laughs)

[Blackeye117]

i think he is there just to enjoy his self ... it is in human nature i think .. you just cant stay away from what are to addicted to ..i think it is just that .no doubts he will deliver sooner or later but i m sure he will
Otherwise i'll kill him because i've heard alot about him and havent watched him racing before so i want to see

[genius83]

@UK
Did Ferrari not produced I4 engines in the past, because I think they have manufacture I4 in past, plus GDI suggestion is coming from Ferrari's CEO so I think they are ready for I4. May be they are thinking of bringing an I4 powered road legal sports car in the future.

Well Vettel's arrival in Mercedes is a bit far away, at the moment Michal is helping Rosberg with his experience.

Stefan attempting 2011 F1 entry
Stefan GP has renewed its efforts to try and get a place in Formula 1, despite seeing its plans to get on the grid this season rejected by the FIA.

F1 warms to a return to USA
Tony George is trying to bring Formula One racing back to the United States, but not necessarily to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, according to a report in the Indianapolis Business Journal.

[m_waqas]

Bro, I know Michal is a good punching bag by most F1 fans for a long long time but please punch responsibly because otherwise it could come back towards you in the near future.
hmm...alright..got your point sir .....
but punching bag is a punching bag..its there get punched..hard or soft..whatever..

F1 warms to a return to USA
that will be superb...and if its Indianapolis then its double treat...

Otherwise i'll kill him because i've heard alot about him and havent watched him racing before so i want to see
please do from my side too...kill (punch) schumi..........alright just kidding genius83..
u should download 2006 season races to watch him race his heart out against alonso..but alas alonso won the titles...haha...

[Blackeye117]

that will be superb...and if its Indianapolis then its double treat...

It Will Be In NewYork

please do from my side too...kill (punch) schumi..........alright just kidding genius83..
u should download 2006 season races to watch him race his heart out against alonso..but alas alonso won the titles...haha...

Any Particular race if you remeber or any two 3 races ? coz downloading whole season is too hard for me

  ....

@m_waqas
What I really wish can never come true and it is something I regret forever with respect to F1.

You really have not understand what UK was saying he says that he will kill(punch) Michal, if he starts showing good results otherwise he is happy with what Michal is doing at the moment. While you are punching Michal for the bad performance he will punch for the good performance, thats totally opposite thinking:P.

@Blackeye117
Thanks for your concern, but no I remember all the races by heart so no request for any race.

As for US GP, Bernie wants it in or near NewYork but that report was suggesting a return to Indy is possible if and only if Bernie cuts the annual fees and that is a big IF.

@genius83

Ferrari did have 4cylinder engines in the 50's i think. Not sure how they feel about it today. They GDI is a more fuel efficient system, something they already have on one of their production cars.

Vettel's move is not so far away. Schumacher is not at Mercedes to help Rosberg. He, Schumacher, got to where he got in F1 by not being nice to people especially his team mates. He is being measured against Rosberg, and he will do anything he can to beat him. Vettel can leave Red Bull after 2011, which looks more likely if he doesn't win with Red Bull. Mercedes need to evolve as a team by that time. The people at Mercedes are the same people from Honda years and Honda didn't win much with this lot except when they quit after pumping in millions to make a winning car, only to sell it and leave.

The rain man is gone, if that's what you are hinting at. Some one killed the king.

@Blackeye117

If you want to see Alonso, down load the San Marino GP of 2005. Hungaroring 2006, Suzuka 2005, just to name a few.

Schumacher, Hungaroring 1998, French GP 2004, Spanish GP 1994, Spa 1995 ( that was a lucky win if there ever is anything as a lucky win )

@m_waqas

u should download 2006 season races to watch him race his heart out against alonso..but alas alonso won the titles...haha...
LOL! wasn't that just the most amazing feeling?:D:D:D:D:D:D All that rule bending, rule changes, FIA favoritism, silly penalties. Cry babies! A penalty for this, as Pat Symonds, rightly points out @1:20, this is what F1 was all about a few years back, one hour qualifying and everyone had to find space for himself.

what ??? alonso was so far ahead of him .. how can he b penalised ?

and thanks Uncle for naming a few

[m_waqas]

What I really wish can never come true and it is something I regret forever with respect to F1.

sorry bro i didn't get u there?...whats your wish??...

and no...i will also punch him when he's performing well too ... punch him whenever wherever............ alright enough of this rubbish..peace..

@UK
ya i remember that season very well...it was like the whole world was once again against alonso...but thats understandable..schumi's reign was coming to an end..

and UK remember this??: (i don't know how to embed a video so i m providing this link..)
YouTube - Schumacher cheat

[genius83]

@UK
It depends on what there marketing team's come up with plus as I said earlier that GDI part was comes from Ferrari's CEO which includes the power value and turbocharging so it certainly means there is some serious talks with in the company for such a move and if FIA goes for it they will welcome it.

As for RainMaster, I will wait till he shows his performance in the next few races and then we will see what really will happens.

@m_waqas
My wish is to see Ayrton Senna and Michal 2 of my most favourite drivers battling a full season for the title, In 94' their was a chance of seeing that but luck was not on my side so now it is a regret for me w.r.t F1.

Here is a tutorial of how to embed youtube videos:

1)Go to post reply not quick reply.
2)Click the youtube icon in the option bar.
3)(YOUTUBE)(/YOUTUBE) appears in the reply box with this [] and not this ().
4)Place the needed address of YouTube video in between the Youtube tags, like that
(YOUTUBE)video address(/YOUTUBE)

Hope this will helps.

Sorry, i got that bit wrong. The " What I really wish can never come true and it is something I regret forever with respect to F1 "
I was trying to quote what Genius83 had written but rather than him, it appeared with your name:o That was meant for genius83, as i thought he was talking about not seeing the great man. Turns out i wasn't off the mark.

The video just shows Schumacher's awesome parking skills:P But as genius83 said, he is waiting for the rain master to show his performance, umm rain master who? I don't know if you recall the last race of 2005, Brazil, Alonso having won his first title, the Renault mechanic down in the pitlane removed the top of his overalls and on the back of his T-shirt it said, Schumacher who?

In his illustrious career, Schumacher has given a lot of Oscar winning performances. I thought since we are having a go at him right now, why not put in one or two more of his stunts. After all, what better way to kill time;) One of his best work, Jerez `97. I love Martin Brundle's comments as Murray Walker tries to pretend it's a racing accident.

//youtu.be/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgfuoSFerDU

@genius83

I had mistakenly put-what was meant for you. Some one killed the king.
Just out of curiosity, rain master who, Button? You are a Button fan now:P

@Blackeye117

Yes, he was penalized for that. Given a five slot grid penalty for blocking Massa, lol

[genius83]

@UK
I know my german is not good but still may be thats the correct term for Rain Master in german Reinmeister.

As for Button fan no I will never become a Button fan even if he wins 7 straight titles, winning every race in a single season or takes pole in every race of a season, the reason he does not have the win at all cost attitude which is what I look in any driver that I like or will like in future. I can't stop laughing when I see British press calling Button a Rain Master.

Now as you guys are having a bashing session against Michal in next 2 weeks, I have a simple question why there is no debate about Michal's 95' title is there no controversy in that season regarding Michal. Also something from my side in the Michal's Oscar winning performances segment.

Adelaide 94'

Same Incident Different Angle

Adelaide Incident

Even better all the incidents in One

//youtu.be/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbtQHEmutXU&feature=related

As for my wish I think this is a wish which most F1 fans have and they all regrets knowing this is not possible.

[UncleKracker]

@genius83

I didn't know we were discussing his career. I thought it was only his "special" moments;) You know, just killing time by recalling his achievements:D

Now, he did the 5kg helmet thing in `95, but to get a better idea of how 1995 went, you will have to buy Johnny Herbert's biography to have an insight into things. Taking nothing away from Schumacher, who won that year in an inferior car, no doubt. But he won against a very ordinary driver, Damon Hill.

Getting back to the good old days. Here is another gem from 2003. When the title seemed like slipping away they protested the construction of Michelin tires, tires that had been used since 2001, and when did they do it? Between Hungaroring and Monza, when the summer testing ban came into affect. So, FIA changed the rule and said they would measure the tires after the race too but the best part was, Michelin had to make a totally different construction of tires for Monza, in about two weeks, and without any testing allowed:-#

Here is a small clip of Patrick Head and Ross Brawn talking about it. Even the assembled journalists where laughing at the explanation being put forward by Brawn.
