"During any single event, if a driver introduces more than one of a power unit element that is subject to penalty, only the last element fitted may be used at subsequent events without further penalty," said an FIA statement issued in the wake of Wednesday's WMSC meeting in Paris.

"This is to prevent the stockpiling of spare power unit elements."

Friend of mine on the Soberanes sent me these.

That's probably a good call. What have I missed in the last 3 weeks? I didn't even look to see what happened in Singapore

So this was the closest pick I was able take. We were warned about take pictures of sensitive areas and equipment. The Atlas 5 is sitting in there. Wish I could have taken pics of it.

You're the one getting testy lol and yes I saw that it happened. Which made this fire even more of a big deal because it's the only launch facility Space X can use in the near future.

That's a type 2 helicopter. The air cranes are called type 1 or "heavies" and the smaller ships with the buckets are type 3s.

17-yr old Canadian rich kid Lance Stroll will partner Bottas at Williams next year. He's currently leading the F3 championship with 9 wins out of 21 races run so far. He finished 5th this year at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona in a Chip Ganassi Ford Prototype earlier this year.
