F1 » Button: McLaren 'will be tough to beat' in 2010.

rob. CPU???? that is, as far as i am aware, a combined power unit. but then again, maybe mclaren have a cpu on board!!! i think you mean ECU, electronic control unit. but hey! ewhats a couple of letters between friends?

F1 » Brawn: Mercedes deal gives us a strong future

rob and 2pac. i picked up the info on the diffuser on this site, from a poster. i admit that i didnt check the regs, but it came at the time that fota were discussing regs with fia. it appears that the amendment that 2pac mentioned may be the basis behind the talk, in that the solid/non solid bridge between body and diffuser has been clarified, making diffuser improbable. if i picked the whole issue up wrong, i apologise, but i still think that there is something that makes thewse double diffusers impossible or improbanle. this was all aimed at creating ability to slipstream. guess we'll just have to wait an see. but aero WILL be different in 2010!

F1 » Brawn: Mercedes deal gives us a strong future

2pac, during the summer! next years cars will obviously have a similar shape to this years, due to the generic shape, dictated by tub riles and main body sizes. but the aero tabs will be considerably altered to adapt to the new laminar flow of air. also because of altered weight distribution, there may well be new features on some cars. i'm not going to boither old arguments, but presumably you are aware that it is not being used next year.

dandan. fast eddy was irvine, surely you mean slow eddy (jordan)

F1 » Brawn: Mercedes deal gives us a strong future

2pac. the wheelbase will be longer, the bodywork will be longer, there will be no double diffusers. all these will drastically affect aero, therefore it will be back to basics again. i remember your multi posts of old, and your input on kers, which was way, way off the scale of fact. but we'll forget that. andrew, i am miffed that you are claiming credit for my champagne kers!

F1 » Brawn: Mercedes deal gives us a strong future

2pac. the cars will be considerably different next year, due to bigger tanks, different weight distribution etc etc. testing is starting again and all teams will be testing NEW cars. i dont think that anyone will have an advantage or a disadvantage, but maybe the ones who were in the design phase earlier, such as ferrari, may have a slight head start.(like honda last year!)

paul, i thought priaulx was pushed into the wall by gene (seat). but no, i do not approve of bmw tactics either, but they are not so blatant or frequent!

rob, when button is described as WDC, should he really be called WDDC????

most sportsmen give the cars away to others in the team or to charity. rossi gives his bmws to his mechanics. as we dont know what vettel is doing, we cannot criticise him! if he wants to keep it for himself, he is perfectly entitled to. he won it!
