Back to the F1 i have just heard Riccardo has been disqualified something to do with the weight ratio of his car...Whatever that means?

It was how much fuel per hour he was using: but Red Bull are challenging it anyway.

Pit to car radio transmissions being restricted to prevent engineers telling drivers what to do;   http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/316066/q-a-with-the-fia-on-team-radio-restrictions/   Rumour

Unlucky this race, but I think the plan of getting the best car in 2014 might pay off.

It's not weight but fuel flow, a new parameter this year. Red Bull are appealing as they say the metering supplied by the authorities was faulty. It's all on the BBC F1 web page

ouch: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/26601418

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

I am not sure why is appealing. Rules are rules and unless he can prove it then get on with it.

Red Bull knows that Mercedes could run away with this before the rest catch up so every point is precious this early


There is not one thing different between ideology and religeon

Red Bull playing fast and loose with the rules, say it ain't so!

 

;)

 

Red Bull said previously that they were having detonation (knock) issues with the Renault engine. One way of dealing with that is to run the engines richer when it happens, cooling the charge. I wonder if they had to go over the fuel flow limit to keep the engine together.

 

The new engines sound rubbish.

Yep, lower revving. 2013 engines were 2.4 litre V8s limited to 18,000 rpm. 2014 engines are 1.6 litre turbo V6s limited to 15,000 rpm.

 

The old engines sounded unearthly (especially the old V10 engines before the 2006 change to V8s) but the new ones just sound like cars.

Steve,

 

I can't imagine 100 kg/hr of petrol going through a 1.6 L engine. Isn't a 100 kg something like 220lbs. Petrol weighs about (7 lbs per gal ??). Am I off base?

It's quite something, isn't it? Although that is the maximum peak flow allowed, the actual average flow over the course of the race is - well, yesterday's race took about an hour and a half and they are allowed to use a maximum of 100kg of fuel - so an average of 67kg/hr. Small displacement, but big boost (estimated at 3.5 bar) and high revs.

 

I don't really like the changes, but the engines are impressive feats of engineering.
