Actually the BBC news feed has more, they asked the team and the team says that it's standard to run the paint on part of the day to confirm aerodynamics and currently there are no problems

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]

yes lots of teams use that paint in testing. It's when they run it on a race weekend like they did last year you want to worry.

Strangely this is Alquiresai's first F1 test despite taking part in half of last season . Although I still can't spell his name !

As the rules are the same for last year and this except the need for a bigger fuel tank I think McLaren will be one of the front runners

I don't undrstand why they can't just have 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10.

Mainly as someone who consistanly comes in for example third place could still beat someone who wins 50% of the seasons races

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]

I really don`t like the look of any of this seasons cars, to me they all look like Duck-Billed Platypus with the exception of maybe the Ferrari and the Jordan ( nay Renault) which the former is spoiled by having the front wing white and the Renault looks like a basking shark with wheels!

The williams looks okay but again it`s to bitty

Still it`s the racing that counts and with the new points system hopefully some good old fashioned overtaking...

i'm not sure if the new points system will help overtaking. With the new system going down to 10th place you don't have to fight through the midfield as much as before to get to 8th

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]

OK guys, can someone with more time than myself post up a current list of who's driving for who and the teams also missing the drivers... If we have a complete list then I'll create a new poll thread (no point in doing it to this thread as last year the poll ruined the layout of the main discussion thread. Will do two (one for the drivers and another for the team championship) Will restrict the discussion in those threads to poll related topic only) Will also time the polls to end the day before the first practice

Oh yes, with you on that one, really looks the part. I would love the Virign/Manor/Wirth squad to really make an impact on the stopwatch.

That is without doubt the best livery this year, by far , even looks good at a damp dark overcast Silverstone.

Do You mean the Force India or the Renault??????


Force India is the last incarnation of Jordan, having previously been Spyker and Midland F1

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]

first run for the Virgin today. Bottom of the time sheets but it was a wet day so nothing to worry about at moment. Hopefully they will get some proper running tomorrow and into the weekend
