I was hoping Dixon would win.

I bet Fred signed more autographs at Barber than he did all year in F1!

For some reason this strikes me as even worse than trying and failing. Trying, failing, then having to get bailed out by Merc? That will forever hang over the brand. Remember that time Honda had to get engine tech from Merc to be competitive in F1?

I guess it's a good return favor for handing Merc a championship winning chassis for their 2009 engine.

Are the energy recovery systems spec units for all the teams? They should be.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Nope

PRO-TIP: If you take off-ramps and cloverleafs at 35MPH in a high-mileage CRV, eventually the left front driveshaft will start leaking profusely. Left front is a bummer since it's got a fixed shaft + half shaft with CV boots.

Easy fix doe.

The axles on my Mazda have a habit of welding themselves to the hubs so the hub and bearings usually have to be replaced if an axle goes. Let me tell you how I know...and **** wheel bearings. I've replaced enough of them to know I never want to again.

I'm not sure I buy this Merc helping Honda. Who wins? No one, well maybe F1 viewers. Merc has to give up some secrets (tho they won't give up the good ones), what few tricks Honda has that might actually be good will now be known by Merc. Not to mention if there is any roadcar technology transfer then that becomes compromised. Plus Honda looks even worse than if they had just bailed out of F1. I say either Honda needs to fix it without help from the other manufacturers of they can use the door.

Not to mention what are the other mid field teams gonna think about this, especially the Merc supplied teams. This is a can of worms FIA doesn't need.

Perhaps Merc can show them that their single piston testing rigs suck dick.

I think we could point that fact out to them lol

I guess from some things I've read the rumor is it will be stuff dealing with electronic side of the PU ie hybrid ****.

Well, Fernando is doing the Indy 500 instead of Monaco so anything is possible like Mercedes helping Honda.

Also, how involved is Ilmor with the Mercedes power unit? Ilmor did help Honda when they went from CART to the IRL in 2003.

From today's Strategy Group meeting:

"It was also agreed upon that races will be resumed from a standing start after a red-flag period."

Not sure I like that idea. It's up to the World Motorsport Council to approve it or not.

As long as pictures of the current cars aren't posted, I'm cool with it.
Could be worse.

is that a thing now?

Number of NASCAR laps watched in 2017 - 0

Number of ***** given - 0

Not having to listen to DW - priceless


Standing starts after a red flag period sounds like a NASCAR idea. Soon we'll be having debris safety cars to tighten up the field. Instead of the F duct McHonda will debut the D flap which dumps debris on the track every 10 laps to keep them from getting lapped.

I can hear Fred's conversation with Andretti now.

Fred "Why are all these peasants giving me these useless trinkets?"
Andretti "You don't keep them! You sign them and give them back. It's called an Au To Graph"
Fred "Really? Should I throw out all this **** I've collected already?"
Andretti "It's a sign of respect. Fans want the signature of the best, most talented drivers."
Fred "Is that why I haven't seen anyone give you any of this junk to sign?"

njn63

Allegedly. I can't watch that stuff.
