Wot, no Webber?
Bill Boddy - There seems to be no technical innovation that'll stop him managing to take flight.
Rumour has it that AussieGrit has signed up for the next series of 'Splash!'. He's going for a triple back somersault with pike and two twists, off the 10m board. On his bike.
Update: Ian Lavender has denied rumours of his part in the above.

gethinceri Stupid Boy!!!
Can someone tell me why some cars have a massive penis sticking out of the front of them and how this is a safety measure because to my eye it looks about as safe as a jousting lance from days of old when knights were bold and toilets weren't invented they dropped their load upon the road and walked away contented.....

Lewis looks like he's wasting away.

Except for the little blokes the drivers are having to shed some weight. As predicted in Rooter Sports:

Good news for Vettel the race winner - the F1 Sporting Regs now officially permit a driver to celebrate after crossing the finishing line:
“all cars must proceed on the circuit directly to the post race parc fermé without any unnecessary delay, without receiving any object whatsoever and without any assistance (except that of the marshals if necessary). An exception will be made for the winning driver who may perform an act of celebration before reaching parc fermé, provided any such act is performed safely and does not endanger other drivers or any officials, does not call into question the legality of his car and does not delay the podium ceremony”.
Wouldn't a celebration on the slow down lap (donuts?) always delay the podium ceremony

Except to preserve engine, fuel etc. they'll probably no longer want to

One would think so.
I'm with rufus_mcdufus as well. With the weight limit being so tight they won't want to shed rubber before getting weighed in either.

Totalrace claims that the brake-by-wire systems are giving RBR, Merc, Ferrari and Sauber fits. Drivers and the automatic bias adjustment apparently do not see eye-to-eye.

My understanding was that the teams are struggling to get down to the weight limit - so even with a loss of weight, they'd still pass the weight limit...

Dead right The Artist..... That crossed my mind a moment ago and I returned to this thread to delete my comment before anyone noticed. Since it's too late and you noticed, I'll just have to put my hands up to a crass mistake!

Notice it says nothing about what this "act of celebration" might entail. Maybe we could award style and originality points a la figure skating...

You will be disqualified from this contest if:
- The words "Yes, baby, that's what I'm talking about" or "I love you, guys" are heard at any time over team radio
- You celebrate like your pet hamster died during the race
- Any dignitaries stay dry from champagne/fruit juice spraying
- The marker board saying '1' is knocked down as you park
- You park in the bloody pit lane at Monaco (Jenson you moron)
- You fail to boast about your superior performance in the towels, hat and water bottle room
