Not looking good.

That's the last thing they need, worst case scenario and they could be battling with Caterham, oh the irony.....

Lets also remember they had to have a sharpish redesign when they had to remove the thingy device as well! Not a smooth start for them is it?

Just three weeks before the cars take to the track in Melbourne, the Australian Grand Prix has lost its title sponsor DHL.
The exact reason for the logistics company's withdrawal is unclear but it is said to have pulled out even after negotiations with Bernie Ecclestone.
Qantas, which has previously been the title sponsor of the event, but reduced its involvement in the Grand Prix due to its own falling profits, is understood to have agreed to step up to the plate however, the money it is offering falls short of what was being asked for.
Full story on the link.

Following the link from the word Melbourne ( http://www.pitpass.com/src/circuits/melbourne.php ) the final line of the first paragraph seems to be saying that Melbourne enticed the Oz GP away from Melbourne.

Or is it just me?

I've had a reply from Pisspoor, apparently it was a typo. I can see how easy it is when words are similar as in Adelaide and Melbourne.

Bernie is at it again.

He has said that Lewis may leave McLaren at the end of the season, not only that but he has hinted that McLaren may actually want him to leave.

Does he know something we don't? Or is he just blowing hot air?

If there is one thing Bernie has it's great inside knowledge and a fantastic ability to manipulate situations to his advantage. Getting Lewis into a Red Bull against Vettel would be like all his Christmas' had come at once.

For Bernie that is a lot of christmases....

HRT were having their (3rd) crash test today but can't find any news on whether they passed or not - anyone heard anything?

One would suppose that they managed to crash it successfully at the very least...

 

[Mephistopheles]

I found some footage of it

 

[Brogan]

HRT have finally passed all of the crash tests and their 2012 chassis is now homologated.

Hurrah! Just Marussia to go now!

I have just read an article on F1 Racing. Apparently the ugly noses could have been avoided as the teams had a meeting to discuss the matter. Ten of the teams agreed, twodidn't, and those two teams that disagreed where Red Bull and Toro Rosso, it does look like Red Bull have a trick up their sleeve either the front nose, but even so, the majority of the teams agreed to change the noses so changes should have been made, instead, we are left with ugly cars.

Ten of the teams agreed, two didn't, and those two one team that disagreed were Red Bull and Toro Rosso,

No surprise there then screwing everyone over for their own benefit. I hate the veto rule that's in place.

It should be majority voting.
