You're making him out to be sub 5 feet if that's not his real height in the pic.

Damn, tough crowd. :)

One item that got their attention probably was the fact that if you compare Nico’s first six laps in Barcelona with the first six race laps by Kimi in 2008 (safety car on first lap, hence the “first race laps”).. Kimi would have been up by 35 (yes THIRTY FIVE!) seconds after those six laps.  And this is the ultimate racing?

Well said...

 

I do welcome refueling back.  Adds another element of strategy.

 

As for the last item, anyone that is important to should really consider track and field events instead of motor racing.

The Formula 1 Strategy Group met on Friday in Biggin Hill to exchange views on the current challenges that F1 faces. Besides the statuary members of the Group, representatives of the engine manufacturers were also invited.

The Strategy Group members have debated a number of levers aimed at improving the show. An initial series of measures has been voted:

For 2016:

§  Free choice of the two dry tyre compounds (out of four) that each team can use during the race weekend

For 2017:

§  Faster cars: 5 to 6 seconds drop in laptimes through aerodynamic rules evolution, wider tyres and reduction of car weight

§  Reintroduction of refuelling (maintaining a maximum race fuel allowance)

§  Higher revving engines and increased noise

§  More aggressive looks

A few other measures have also been discussed but require further investigation before they can be implemented:

§  A global reflection on race weekend format

§  Measures to make starts only activated by the driver without any outside assistance

Furthermore, in light of the various scenarios presented by the independent consulting company mandated by the F1 Strategy Group, at the initiative of the FIA, to work on the reduction of costs and following a constructive exchange, a comprehensive proposal to ensure the sustainability of the sport has emerged.

The Strategy Group member Teams have committed to refine it in the next few weeks, in consultation with the other teams involved in the championship.

On the engine side, it has been decided that stability of the rules should prevail in consideration of the investments of the manufacturers involved in the sport and to give visibility to potential new entrants. The allowance for a 5th engine to be used during the 2015 season has been rejected.

This constructive meeting between the FIA, FOM and the Teams has allowed paving the way for the future of the championship. All parties agreed to work together with an intention to firm up these proposals and submit them to the approval of the F1 Commission and the World Motor Sport Council of the FIA as soon as possible for implementation.

Signed: FIA President , Jean Todt & Formula One Group CEO, Bernie Ecclestone

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

 

     

 

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

 

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun! 

 

If you have no enemies, you have no character !
