Well, that was a bit sudden....blown diffuser ban

http://www.autosport...rt.php/id/91475

Well, kinda...I guess certain teams were keeping the throttle open under braking to keep air flowing. I bet Renault and Macca get the worst of this one.

Technically it isn't a ban on the diffuser itself, just a ban on the specific engine mapping that keeps the throttle up above 10% under braking. Apparently some teams were going into braking on full throttle to exploit the exhaust gas blown diffuser concept

Not a full blown diffuser ban. Just off-throttle blown diffuser ban... no wonder the Renault sounded like total sh*t off throttle. I downloaded the "natural sounds" of Turkey and was working when I heard this weird stacatto sound and looked over and it was a Renu under braking and thought "must be the exhaust routing from the front"

Clever that they were A) able to run 100% throttle while off-throttle and B) having enough fuel to even do that and last the entire race.

Yeah, hard to beleive that extra fuel weight was worth the added downforce.

[cASe SenSiTive]

The engines don't use much fuel when there's no load on them.

[MrBucket]

Yeah, hard to beleive that extra fuel weight was worth the added downforce.

I read that this system was making the renaluts use 10% more fuel than with normal engine mapping.

A hold on the braking throttle exhaust engine map ruling for this race, will probably take effect for Monte Carlo, giving teams a little more time to adapt.

Has RedBull brought any updates yet besides KERS?
We keep hearing about McLaren/Ferrari/Merc bringing all these updates and nothing about RB except for the KERS package...

Aldo Costa steps down at Ferrari as their lead technical director. Tough times at Maranello...

[vietlol]

They have to have a big name lined up to replace him.

Fry is now chief chassis guy or some shit.

That's what they get when they try to go all Italian. Ferrari was always better when they had more diversity, Frenchman running the show, Englishman as head of techinical, South African car designer, German and Brazilian drivers..... need I say more?

Alonso cops $80m tax bill for return to Spain

"It’s great to go home"

Monday 23 May 2011 - 11h44, by GMM

Fernando Alonso’s decision to return to live in Spain will cost him $80 million in tax, according to the British tabloid newspaper The Mirror.

The report said the Ferrari driver had been living in Switzerland for tax reasons but decided to move back to his native Oviedo to be closer to family and friends.

"It’s great to go home. I’m happy to pay the money. I’m not poor — just a little bit less rich now," he smiled.

Meanwhile, the Swiss newspaper Le Temps has quoted F1 team boss and owner Peter Sauber as admitting he is happy with a modest lifestyle.

The 68-year-old lives on the shores of Lake Zurich but he reportedly does not have a yacht, jet or luxury villa.

And he recently moved out of a five bedroom house in exchange for a three bedroom apartment.

"My children have left home and we don’t need much space," he said, explaining that he doesn’t even drive a sports car.

"I have a car, that’s enough. Yachts, I like them but I admire them only in the port of Monaco. I don’t have enough time to be really interested."

Amazingly, he also revealed he is not really a motor racing fanatic.

"I’m not a big fan of racing. What interests me is not winning but the path it takes to get there," said Sauber.

Hrm




How the hell did he make it to Monaco after the NASCAR race?
