How is it that MS,7 time world champion is having trouble with a simulator because it gives him motion sickness.Aren't these people supposed to be immune to this sort of thing?Now it is being said that simulators have had this effect on him all throughout his career.

[SonicWagon]

When he won all those WDCs they were allowed to do actual testing the simulators were crude, now he comes back, there are new tracks and the simulator is all important. Red bull and McLaren and Ferrari do most of their development on a simulator and MS is like the old man who just doesn't get it.

Now if they were to bring back in season testing he would have a huge advantage IMO.

agreed... its like trying to teach my grandfather to use my evo 4g ..im in favor of off season testing but what do i know.

[rage-wrx]

As everyone knows the gist of the problem is cost cutting.The teams are supposed to cut down on testing to save $,but at the same time 20%-50% of the revenue has to be submitted to "The Supreme One".

[Merk247]

hes the number one problem with F1 .

New Ferrari F150 pickup... I mean F1 car unveiled. I dig it.

Formula 1

That car looks essentially the same as the 2010.They say all the changes are not on the outside but within.The controversial barcode seems to have gone & like Montezemolo said they are an Italian team,so they emphasized this by painting the whole of the rear wing in the Italian flag,& Etihad seems to have left as a sponsor

Now lotus Renault has a potential game changing innovation. Exhaust blown FRONT diffuser. With the exhausts rumored to be exiting forward of the sidepods...

Where's the exhaust YO!

I’m hearing that the car is running an incredibly innovative exhaust system. Rather than routing the exhausts to the rear, the exhaust exits the car at the front, blowing over a front-mounted diffuser to generate additional downforce. If this is true, it would certainly explain the disappearance of the exhaust exits from the expected locations, and would be a major innovation in F1.

[rage-wrx]

that Renault looks sick.indeed where is the exhaust?

[SonicWagon]

- exaust pipes go alonside ****pit under coolers shields
- they turn round 180 degrees in front side of sidepods and direct fumes at front part of the diffuser.

[SonicWagon]

Heh ****pit... This is a car forum right?

[rage-wrx]

It took me a while to understand ****pit was what you meant when you wrote ****pit.I keep thinking of another word for ****pit but nothing comes to mind.

[SonicWagon]

The thing you fight roosters (game****) in. ****pit.

[rage-wrx]

have you tried separating the words like "C O C K PIT"

Dodging the swear filter is bad mmmkay!
