Actually, electric cars are the future of motorsport. IMO we have to open our eyes to them.
It is not an only engine. That budget engines will be along current hybrid power units. All in all i doubt it and all the power unit manufacturers won't agree about budget engines. I think it is a...
It looks like Ferrari were waiting for me to just use their veto option although It is good that I used the word "almost" :-)

I love the Lotus Elise 111R. Good Job.
I don't believe for a second that Renault have lost their way in hybrid power units business. I think It is one of those out of context examples. Talking about veto, I am almost sure Ferrari won't...
@ abbottcostello
If Ferrari are going to give the latest spec power unit to RedBull as rumors suggests, I see no reason for RedBull doing all this costly works because RedBull know that Ferrari...
As far as I know, hardware wise it should be the same but I remember McLaren say that Mercedes restricted them in 2014 in terms of getting the best setup in engine mapping for tracks and throttle...
I need to know if Ferrari are going to supply RedBull with original power unit or B version. Can somebody confirm anything?
I believe it is F1 journalism (Especially Italian one) that spins things despite no evidence. I don't believe this news.
Here is a lovely article by Allan McNish. A perfect one.
Motorsport must find a way to protect drivers

I have no idea. I don't have any facilities to test proposed solutions to see which one is safer. How do you know that?
Here is what Charlie Whiting says:
"We had the fighter jet cockpit...
Canopy is a proposal among many other proposals not a firm solution. Why do you stuck on canopy?! By the way it is not a knee jerk reaction. FIA are testing many solutions from 2009 onward. There is...
Yes indeed. I had forgotten that one, So another head related accident:
2009- Henry surtees - Wheel hitting his head - Death
2009- Felipe Massa - Spring hitting his head - Crushing part of skull...
First I didn't mention that because the cause of the accident is debatable but now I am going to add it.
The most recent accidents that I am aware of them:
2009- Henry surtees - Wheel hitting his head - Death
2009- Felipe Massa - Spring hitting his head - Crushing part of skull
2012- Romain...
Introduction of head protection is exactly like introduction of seat belt for drivers back in the old days and I am sure there were some people that questioned introduction of seat belt in...
Introduction of head protection is for safety gains.
In addition to Hornet's points, F1 cars used to have engine in front but now the engine is at the back. So what? Tradition has gone?!
Formula1 have gone through lots of changes compare to old days. Head protection for open cockpit cars is the next change that is essential.
That is what I call good news. Hopefully it will be a proper solution that can cover every aspect of head injuries.
Not yet. They just fine tuned their power unit to be able to get more power out of it without reliability problems.
I think every side is pushing for their own advantage.
For example RedBull wanted to ban wind tunnels so I imagine they have the full confidence in shifting their focus on more mechanical side of...
I think I heard it on a talk show on skysports from Michael Schmidt. He said there are simply too many opinions and no agreement.
You are confusing my jokes with some horrible thoughts.
