why cap downforce? why would too much downforce be a bad thing?

 

I sort of think the whole downforce issue is bogus. The very nature of the series means there will be teams that are going to be faster than others - regardless of the downforce levels.

Indycar has high downforce and the racing is very close, thanks to the parity of the chassis and engines - something we will never have in F1.

 

fixed

 

when the top teams have a say in the rule making and they influence the rules to consolidate their position, it hurts the sport

 

Palmer confirmed at Renault. I guess KMags will accept the Haas offer.

 

I spelled it your way initially.

 

Not sure it's a cap per se, but a goal to reduce the DF by 30% or whatever it was. The goal was to slow the cars down and make them "safer".

 

KMag rejected the Renault 1-yr extension. good for him.

Perez dumps sponsor via Twitter in Trump row

 

Got my shirts in. They fit great and are nice quality.

 

So a bunch of stuff fell into place over the last two days. KMag to Haas, Palmer stays at Renault, Ocon goes to FI.

Leaves 2 Manor seats (although I can't see them getting rid of Pascal), and 2 Sauber seats.

 

riveting. If an F1 car crashes at a track and no one in there to hear it - does it still make a sound?

 

Sauber's already confirmed the Swede doe.

One Manor and one Sauber seat to go. Esty O and FI is good. Esty G dumped is also good.

 

They haven't confirmed him yet. It looks like both men will stay on board though.

oh. Well I thought the swede's investing said as much. my B.

 

I doubt they would have bought the team just to ensure he has a seat. We all know how that ends.

 

You twist my words. They can choose whoever they want. That they network sponsors with ME9 is a B2B opportunity.

 

A bit loose or are they form fitting?

 

depends on if you are a bit loose or form fitting

 

nice shirts hungry

 

F1 Racing News | Racer.com - F1: Magnussen - Renault offer not good enough

The Dane previously said he wanted to stay with the French manufacturer, and even extended the deadline for renewing his contract after the team's option expired last month.

"It was my decision – I had an offer but not a good enough offer that I could take it," he said. "If they'd committed to a longer contract I would probably have looked at that much more seriously.

"It was more the feeling of them not committing, taking so long and offering to so many drivers – I think at one point the Pope had an offer.

"It was a bit messy, so it was better for me to leave."

Renault sounded out several other drivers for 2017, including Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz Jr., before signing Hulkenberg, while leaving incumbents Magnussen and Palmer in limbo.

Magnussen said the managerial attitude toward him was a key part of his decision to leave Renault.

He said they "never even told me" they were looking at other drivers.

"It really is a lot about the feeling I had with the management here," he added."More openness would have been good."Sometimes it was a little bit difficult to know who was actually in charge here, who was making the decisions, but that's over now, it doesn't matter. It's in the past. If I had felt more commitment and decisiveness then it would maybe have been different, but I'm happy with the way it turned out."

 

Esty G. IS OUT OF HAAS.

 

does anybody have the new driver lineup or do we have to wait for bauley to make the 2017 thread?
