Talk of dropping the double points next year
Possible 3 car teams are now back on the table
Make a rule and fucking stick to it for longer than 3 months...

High Court enforcement officers The Sheriff's Office published a list of goods it claimed belong to Caterham, including parts to be used in this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix and a 2013 test car.

Couple of scenarios:
Vettel to Macca
Vettel to Ferrari and Fred to Macca
Both Vettel and Fred to Macca
Jenson will end up back in a Williams at this pace.

I wonder if Fred was pushed out at Ferrari.
As we all know too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

Pretty typical tactic in business is for a new director or C*O to make a high profile execution or layoff.<br><br>Marissa Meyer, Nadela, Cook, Goshn, Barra, etc.<br>

<br />Videos are being removed left and right on Youtube...in the video, you see the Marrusia sliding into the tractor and the entire tractor jumps up from the force of the impact as the car gets lodged underneath. It was an extremely violent impact <img src='http://forums.f1-cre...default/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /><br /><br />Edit:<br /><br /><a href='https://www.facebook...203117295956957' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>https://www.facebook...95956957</a><br /><br />Found one if anyone's curious...<br />

My biggest fear before seeing photos/video was he slide under the tractor and he was low enough that the side/back of the thing would've decapitated him... the video doesn't exactly help because all we know he could've gone face first into the back of the tractor

"F1 teams rejected "ugly" closed cockpit solution in 2013"
...yet the penis nose was totally okay?
There's some data floating around on Axis of Oversteer that Jules was only 1mph slower in that same corner while under the double yellows. That means he either didn't see or did not care to slow down whatsoever. I get it, they're racing car drivers and they want to be flat out. But in a perfect storm, we can clearly see what happens. I wonder if the FIA can mandate the ability to put in a throttle reduction like at a gokart track - based on where the yellows are. For example, when the yellow flags come up, throttle is reduced by 50% following a braking zone that leads into the section with the yellow flags...the technology is there to do that already a'la DRS.
I don't want a knee jerk reaction of course, but...how else can you limit a driver in a yellow zone...I'm not sure.

If race control can neuter throttle on electric karts, race control can certainly pull that off in a fucking F1 race.
