The restrictions on the engine designs are the same as before, they are getting tighter and tighter each year towards a 2020 freeze.

They are dropping the token system, so rather than having to chose which parts you are going to develop you can develop evey bit your allowed to develop, but what you are allowed to develop is still restricted.

that's what i am talking about - they still have the capacity to radically change the engine layout etc. when the tokens are dropped which can place a huge change on performance, where the turbos located, size of the compressor etc. basically all the teams know already what's in the merc engine / pus and making it tick, but with this stupid token system they can't replicate it.

alll this hype about rain as well, completely dry race.

maybe for baku if we keep saying its gonna be a bone dry track there'll probably be a monsoon.

I was about to head off and grab the engine rules to discuss, but the last time I revealed that I actually read the F1 rules on here I was ridiculed. So I won't bother and I will leave you all to you evening.

But I will say that anyone who thinks Honda will be able to perform a miracle turn around next year is kidding themselves, including Ron. 2 years in and they don't have either reliability or performance.

Horner seems unusually chipper considering no podium.

Probably because of Max's driving. His defence at the end was perfection.

Ummm..... Oh dear... best not reveal that.

Funny how quickly things change, only a couple of races ago we were talking about Rosberg's unassailable lead. Now, it's a mere nine points and Hamilton is charging.

Flibster · 12 Jun 2016 at 21:45

Vettel and Hamilton arguing about seagulls live on Sky Sport F1...

Deathwish · 12 Jun 2016 at 21:46

Haha, Seb crashing the Hamilton interview on Sky.

Flibster · 12 Jun 2016 at 21:47

I don't care about the seagulls anymore, this is hilarious.

Deathwish · 12 Jun 2016 at 21:47

There is someone in a Sky truck searching for seagulls frantically.

Could quickly go Rosbergs way again, but only if Hamilton has reliability issues

Edit: seagulls?

Flibster · 12 Jun 2016 at 21:48

HOORAY! Seagulls!

Deathwish · 12 Jun 2016 at 21:49

Whayy they found them

Danthus · 12 Jun 2016 at 21:50

This is brilliant.

Flibster · 12 Jun 2016 at 21:51

And now...back to Ted

Wow.... Dean Stoneman won the Indy lights race in Indy by 0.0024s :eek:

But it's absolutely hissing it down at Texas, so the Indy race is suspended after lap 71. It started... but they don't race in the wet.

Josef Newgarden has gone headfirst into the wall and has been taken to hospital. :eek:

Holy crap!

Glaucus · 12 Jun 2016 at 22:03

Well that's better than f1, let's pretend to race n the rain.

Horrendous crash, can't be good. He is even dragged along the track as the side of the car had gone

Seagull-gate boys, Ham deliberately threw food during the parade lap.
