Bizarrely, Schumi kept the points, and the wins to his tally. Dispite being DQ'ed from the season. Not sure how that was supposed to work.

Nor me stats are a compete waste of time aren't they
The testing ban only applies from the week of the first race (last year 21st March 2011) to 31st December 2011. They've been 'allowed' to run since New Year's Day, technically. The only other restriction is that they can't do more than 15,000km this year in total, including the mid-season and young driver tests.
Limiting themselves to the scheduled three 'big' tests and shakedown runs is purely a voluntary agreement among the teams, possibly to save money.

Probably not. Its a good camera opportunity for the sponsors and gives teams a chance to make sure everything's working.
Also there concessions for "filming days" teams can use which don't count towards the test mileage. Although there heavily restricted as to not gain an advantage.
Having 3 Tests with all the teams together is just an FOTA agreement with no binding laws. Makes bit of money sense hiring out a track for the week and spreading the cost then each team. Rather then going it alone and a lot going to different tracks.

Comparison of two Newey built cars with Renault engines.
Williams Renault FW18 Suzuka 1996 qualifying time 1.38,909
Red Bull Renault RB7 Suzuka 2011 qualifying time 1.30,466
Thats the only comparison I can make I chose Suzuka because I don't think it has changed much well not 7.5 seconds worth anyway.
To find the answer we would need to know how heavy the engines are and then how much power they put out then work out the power to weight ratio,
Or just add the extra power and extra torque to the V6 and calculated what its execration and top speed may be.
Or I could just guess and say about 2 seconds per lap

Why hasn't the FOM produced DVD/Blu-ray sets of all the F1 seasons which they have recordings of/can obtain recordings of from fans? I would guess that the amount of discs needed would be a lot per set and that they could be pricey but I'd imagine they'd still be a large market for them.
I've posted this elsewhere but perhaps more people will notice it here. To help me complete my venn diagram, has there ever been a driver who has driven for Ferrari, Williams and McLaren but not Renault/Lotus?
Ha, so fast and so obscure! Thanks G

Just watching the F1 2008 season review on standard DVD, and the quality is quite poor, and it's on 2 discs aswell, unlike others. The quality is like a DVD ripped movie being compressed several times or something.
They should make the quality on standard DVDs better first, then bring it to Blu-ray.
Also, I mentioned the same as you somewhere (I kind of went off from what you were saying), but then come to think of it, what sport has a full season out on DVD?
It will cost too much and have less demand, they however should increase the quality of the season reviews and add a little more into it.
Yes strictly speaking he drove for Tecno
Nigel Mansell - although technically he drove for the old Lotus team but not the team I think you're referring to i.e Benneton/Renault/Lotus
Thanks, but I was cheating and counting all forms of team called Lotus or Renault.... and not counting Benneton lol.
The best option is for the first guy to nip in the pits as quick as possible and the second guy to drive as slowly as he can knowing no one can overtake him in order to hold the pack up and give his team chance to get his team-mate turned round and out the garage before he gets there. As far as I'm aware there is no rule against this as the only rule is how far behind the safety car you must be or behind the car following the safety car. As at this point they won't have picked the safety car up it won't apply but the no overtaking rule will. Thats what I'd do anyways.
The realy answer Sly is that its better to queue or not come in at all. We've seen drivers come in a lap later than the pack under safety cars on a reg basis and it hardly ever works out well.
Remember now that pit stops only take 3-4 seconds so the amount of time being lost is minimal now.
