The funny thing is that rumours where rife about JB retiring, then its switched to FA.

Honda need to screw a lot more horsepower out of their lump, or did someone say it was the ERS deployment that was the main issue.

Was a mistake bringing that system in anyway, they want more teams, so making the engines more expensive with that extra system was a truly inspired idea (NOT).

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 

Its impossible untill next season, the reason is the ERS cant charge quick enough so at the end of the straights the ERS is depleted and cars zoom past, they would need to change the whole chassis to do this and they are not allowed to do that till next season

Bye Bernie, don't forget to let the door smake you in the head.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 

According to the article Bernie has been asked to remain on as commercial chief, he has done that since 1978.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 

Will Kimi get a huge penalty?

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 

I think he will get something, it did look like his mistake.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 

Kimi has robbed someone of a Podium there. 30 seconds is crap. Perez gets the podium despite being passed by Bottas and Kimi. Horrible stuff.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 

It also means Mercedes seal the constructors title because of this.

Bad error by Kimi but mistakes do happy.
