Kolles said to Germany's Auto Bild Motorsport publication that an "experienced driver" would be employed for Friday practice sessions in future, to both push along car development, and also to help "judge" Senna and Chandhok's performances throughout the rest of the weekend.
This actually sounds pretty good of them to do.

I actually wouldn't be suprised if Jamie were pro-penis.

I dont think Petrov did anything for the Russian terrorist attacks a while back

He had a black arm band on all weekend long. What else was he supposed to do? Go out and hunt down the people responsible by himself?I dont think Petrov did anything for the Russian terrorist attacks a while back
This terrible news shocked me profoundly. I would like to give my support to everybody who was affected by his tragedy. I will wear a black armband during the Malaysian Grand Prix in memory of the people who were killed or wounded at Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations.
I'm sure organisers of this barbaric act will be found soon and brought to justice and I hope from all my heart that such a thing will never happen again.

I wanted to see at least an AK-47 somewhere in his warm up routine, the least he could do.

Renault's technical director James Allison is adamant his team can overtake rival Mercedes GP in terms of performance in the upcoming races.
"I think we can because at the moment they're only just ahead of us on qualifying pace, whereas we seemed to have the edge on race pace in Malaysia," said Allison on Monday.
"We will have more updates in China, including a new floor and an alternative front wing.
"Although this might not be enough to get ahead of Mercedes in qualifying trim, it should move us closer to their tail. And if we can jump ahead of them at the start of a race, I'm confident we have the pace to stay ahead."
Renault is 14 points behind current champion Mercedes in the constructors' championship after the first three races of the season.
Allison is confident that Renault's aggressive approach to development this year will pay dividends.
"We have made no secret of our intention to develop our car aggressively during 2010," he said. "Aggressive development means having effective ideas and getting them to the track as fast as possible.
"Our current rate of aerodynamic development is at an all-time high; it's at least double that of last year. The factory is also pulling out all the stops to get our ideas to the car in around half the time compared with last year."
And he reckons the team has achieved the maximum possible in the first trio of races, with Robert Kubica having finished second in Australia and fourth in Malaysia.
"I think we've achieved as much as we could have realistically hoped for because our results have exceeded the current level of competitiveness of the car," Allison added.
"We've made the most of the opportunities that have been presented to us and we have scored some strong results, which is a great way to start the season."
I think they can do it. Everyone was going on about Merc/Brawn coming on strong but we have to remember that this is the old Honda team and without a loophole to exploit they dont look that good.
Also why couldnt Renualt do this shit last year when Fred was there

Asked to nominate his favourite to win the 2010 world championship, Nelson Piquet said he would bet money on Fernando Alonso.
In the wake of last year's 'crashgate' scandal, the former Renault driver is now building a stock car career in America.
He has also raced stock cars in Brazil, and later this year will return to a European track when he drives a Ferrari 430 in the Open GT race at Barcelona.
In between stints in a Brazilian stock car last weekend, the 24-year-old Brazilian told Globo: "I cannot say that I will never return to Formula One."
Piquet said he rates Alonso for the 2010 title after spending the 28 races of his entire F1 career as the Spaniard's teammate.
"He was such a good driver that, to try to get to his level, I had to push myself in ways I did not know even existed," he said.

They weren't really exploiting a loophole so much as they made 3 full on development paths for the new rules, and had quite a few paths to innovative stuff. But after they showed what worked to the grid, the advantage was over. Just like pretty much any other innovation on the grid.I think they can do it. Everyone was going on about Merc/Brawn coming on strong but we have to remember that this is the old Honda team and without a loophole to exploit they dont look that good.

They're certainly stronger than they were in the last two years of Honda's ownership.

So what's Toyota/Williams' excuse?True, but one of those paths lead to the loophole

Im not saying the loophole was the only thing that did it for Brawn in 09, but it was obvious towards the end of the season that they just couldnt keep up.
Back then people were saying that they stopped development because they had it wrapped up...well sure but where are they now?

Personally I think they stopped development because they were flat broke by the last 1/4 of the season.Excuse for what? They found the loophole but their cars weren't that good. Williams especially. Toyota you can blame on being Toyota and maybe not the best drivers.
