Damn that thing is wrecked.

Safety in F1 still amazes me every time I see shit like this.

Does anyone find it weird that they are testing for 09 aero-specs when the 08 season has barely started?? Usually you don't test these Spec-B cars until laaaaate in the season...

The way I understand it, they're doing it to help Bridgestone and the FIA determine the tire specifications for next year as I don't think slicks are a sure thing. I doubt those are the '09 spec aero kits, just quick simulations of 2009 downforce levels. Hopefully the quick lap times are due to increased grip and low downforce while corner speeds are down, otherwise slicks will never see the light of day.

Grooved tires have long surpassed the grip levels of the last batch of raced slicks -- and with aerodynamics, have created even more grip. As long as they have a control tire like they do now, I don't see why slicks won't see the light of day. But this is seriously sexy stuff to me -- please please bring this all back. If Mad Max allows this, i'll even forgive him for his Jew-hatin' ways

STR3.... wonder if it was brake failure

Scuderia Toro Rosso suffered a setback yesterday in Barcelona when Sebastien Bourdais crashed the new STR3 heavily. The team's plan was to introduce the new car in Turkey so the team will not be affected in Spain where Sebastian Vettel and Bourdais will continue to use the STR2B, but the damage to the new car may mean that the debut of the new machines will be delayed until Monaco - which is not the place a team wants to introduce a new car.

The crash happened after Bourdais had completed 71 laps although the car had previously been driven by tester Brandon Hartley at the Vairano circuit at the end of March.

I can't believe that crash will cause the delay of the car launch! It's not like they always finish races anyways, so might as well bring it out and do some in race testing.

A look at the new Renault damper system
Mass dampers are set to return to Formula One sooner rather than later according to reports.

The system, which uses sprung weights to counteract any vertical movement of the race car, was banned by the FIA mid-way through the 2006 season. However, Renault is reportedly expected to run a modified version of the system from the Spanish Grand Prix, which is within the rules.

Reports earlier this month from AFP suggested that the device is worth three to four tenths of a second per lap, a significant gain if proven correct.


Renault first ran such a system at the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2006, but was later banned after being deemed to act as movable aerodynamic device – via the chassis itself.

The above diagram shows the Renault system in place at the front of the cockpit.

A team insider has painted a bleak picture of Super Aguri's race against time for survival.

The Japanese team announced on Wednesday that the expected backing of the agreed buyout group Magma will not materialise.

After Super Aguri sat out the Barcelona test this week, a team insider told the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport late on Wednesday: "We have exactly three days to find an alternate solution.

"If we do not find the money, we cannot race," he added ominously.

The three day deadline is believed to relate to the need for transporters to leave the Leafield factory for Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya on Saturday, ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix the following weekend.


The struggling team is now hoping for a bail-out by previous team backer Honda, or F1 Chief Executive Bernie Ecclestone, who will be hoping to retain a full grid.

It is also rumoured that a German company, and possibly also a group from America, are still interested in buying Super Aguri.

[hypermonkey]

Maybe if the Americans buy them out, we'll get the USGP back

I just hate max cuz he's killing F1, the sport.

Where has Stoddart been? After Long Beach, he is officially w/o obligations. He said he'd get back in the sport after Max was gone, but would get in before so if 'the right opportunity came along'

Super Aguri-Minardi ?!!??!
