Pirelli need all of the testing track time that they can get. It's not good to lose a day of track time because Vettel crashed the mule car. Gio was supposed to drive today after Seb but probably won't now.

>>74166552
I don't really understand why the FIA is so restrictive on tyre testing. Pirelli should be able to contract someone with little/no affiliations to the teams and they can test compounds. But they don't, and so everyone's going in, more or less blind and then we get 2013.

>>74166552
>>74166595
Pirelli should get a company like Dallara or Toyota to make mule cars and test them on those.
Proper testing is absolutely the most important part of a new tyre cycle.

>>74166595
I think there's a rule that whichever team is in charge of the mule tyre testing that day has to share the data openly with the rest of the teams. so it's as if all the teams are present at the test without having to actually be there. it's supposed to be a way to save costs so teams like Sauber don't have to go to the tyre test but still have access to the data.
But of course there's going to be some bias and the big three are the teams supplying the mule cars for the test.

Why does Pirelli need to test the new tyres? I thought you guys said Pirelli are experts with vast experience at making tyre compounds for all purposes so surely they can easily meet the demands of the FIA to make different compound tyres with predictable lifespans, predictable wear patterns, heat tolerances, reasonable air pressures and no chance of suddenly exploding for no reason.

Originally I'm against the idea of customer cars or 3 car teams but lately I'm starting to think maybe it would be a good thing if it means more cars filling out the grid.
Have Toyota supply power-units and parts, so this way privateer teams can enter using Toyota engines and equipment without needing Toyota to enter their own team. Similar to how Haas does it. There's a list of standardized parts from the FIA that Haas can buy/get from Ferrari; and they only make the minimum amount of the chassis that's required by the rulebook to count as an independent constructors. So it's supposed to save on costs and if Haas can prove that this method works more teams will probably try to copy him in the future.

There were brief talks during the season about a potential independent engine alternative to the power units. Like one of those AER Toyota engines that the Rebellion LMP was using.

>>74167063
>Are they really going to change turn 1 at Monza and get rid of the chicane?

Supposedly, but I think that there's a delay with permits or something so it might not happen this year, just eliminating the chicane all together would be pretty neat and easier to do. if they also altered curva grande a bit to make it more like 130r used to be where it was maybe full throttle if you had big balls technically hat would be great, and again probably easier.

>>74167090
Then that***

No clue how auto corrected to technically hat.

Ross Brawn in a recent interview said he wants to set up an independent testing team under the FIA so that they can research different effects and have a better idea of what regulation changes would mean. Maybe they could get Pirelli in on it.

But Perez isn't that good lad, he got dropped by Mclaren of all people after only one season like Magnussen. Still better than Hulkenburg though, he cannot get a single podium where Perez got 2 in the same car.

>>74171700

If you look at the lap by lap onboard, Grosjean actually does brake earlier than the other laps, so Max wasn't wrong about that. It's not THAT massive of a change though and a driver is allowed to do that as long as its not a blatant attempt to try and fuck with the driver behind (eg Alonso brake testing Coulthard). Max on the other hand was just in his full always go forward disregard strategy or tire management mode that he always did at Toro Rosso and simply didn't even think about anything else except getting past the car in front. I honestly don't know if he will ever learn to control this and it might be a bit of a problem in the future if he is to be fighting for a championship someday etc

I think Grosjean was being cautious of a lockup and intentionally covering so that Verstappen couldn't pass, whilst Verstappen was in full hard dick JOS aggression mode. Both are at fault to some extent, probably moreso Verstappen's fault for being so impatient etc. Funny how neither driver accepted any sort of blame whatsoever.

>>74171751

Well not really. I do think what he was trying to do is one of his "overtake under braking" moves where he does the overtake in the braking zone and then places his car so that the other guy just has to lift or they crash. He did this move on Maldonado in the same race in the same corner (although Maldonado had some engine problem). I do think he could have made the corner although it would have required quite friendly cooperation from Grosjean as well.

>>74172772

We need to go wider.


I really hate these wide as fuck entry/exits like this track, COTA T1 etc. What the fuck is the point of making it like 3x as wide as necessary? Maybe it saves some lap 1 incidents from happening but other than that it is just retarded and retarded looking especially. I'm a bit surprised there haven't been more of these "alternative lines collide because the corner is a carpark" incidents in all honesty, although I do stand by the fact that Schumacher's driving in the clips was quite desperate and below the level where he seems to be rated at currently (considering he is basically a year or three away from getting an inevitable F1 drive)

basically they tried to make it as neutral as possible with the mule car for Pirelli's testing. so this way none of the teams will get an unfair advantage by getting to use the new 2017 tyres early before the other teams and official winter testing.
so the teams say there's no advantage and it's all neutral so that's why they have to share the data from the tyre test with everyone else. but obviously the big three would rather still be there at the test than not being there and are the only teams that have the resources to make the mule car in time for the test. if there really was no advantage to being there then they would send Haas to do the tyre testing. but Pirelli would rather have a real 2017 car for the test that would be more accurate than a mule car, but then the team helping with the test would get an unfair advantage.

No wonder all of the drivers are retiring. No one wants to drive these turbo hybrid shitboxes. Teams might as well get inexperienced drivers that don't know any better. They've never driven the previous generation of cars so they have nothing to compare it too.
These new aero rules could end up backfiring. More aerodynamics means more drag so the new rules are going to put more importance on a strong engine to help cut through the wind and overcome the extra drag. So there's a chance these new rules will still lead to MWL.

Open engine development and getting rid of the token system means Renault and Ferrari have more freedom to improve their power units quickly, but Mercedes can make improvements also.

>>74173328

He was easily the best rookie in F3 last year.

If he does well of course people are going to just say "well he had 1 more year of experience so its understandable" blah blah.

Is he staying with Motopark btw? I haven't been paying attention. It would be nice to get a non-Prema winner for a change.

I know the Germans here get asspained whenever someone says something objective or critical about any Schumacher, but IMO from what I have seen, Mick isn't exactly the most promising driver. He was driving a Prema in F4 Germany and Italy and still managed to not win both. I don't think he is total shit or anything but its astounding how much the race coverage focuses on him no matter what he does, he is being treated like the second coming of god. I do hope he does well, but so far he has just been inconsistent. He has good drives where he dominates the race, but its not consistent. Sometimes good, sometimes way down the field and then making stupid moves or spinning out or simply unable to pass. There are many drivers who never even ended up making it to F1 who drove with more flash and conviction than Mick, which is why its a bit strange to see him being hyped and praised so much. I mean I know why it is but its just a bit odd

Even Lance Stroll won just about everything he ever participated in with Prema, so I would expect Mick to do the same at the very least.

>>74175030

So what was your point then? "It's a double standard because Ricciardo does the same except that Ricciardo does it without incident and is an adult so you can't judge them based on the same criteria why are you mad about it?"

It's still the same engines. The engines are the limiting factor. In qualifying they'll be quick over one lap with the engine turned up to maximum. But during the race there will still be fuel saving and using software trickery to turn the engine modes down during the race. so it still might end up like "endurance racing".
I don't hate the idea of hybrid electric motors and fuel efficiency but the hybrid technology isn't fast enough yet. Gasoline is still faster. Instead of these overtly complex power units and brake by wire systems, you can make a cheaper, less complicated, and faster F1 engine. If you really wanted to make a hybrid Energy Recovery System then there are different possible configurations that you can use. It doesn't strictly have to be a 1.5L V6 turbo. Like the three LMP1s all had different layouts for their hybrid ERS systems.

That's literally not the case and I don't know why you bother writing such a long post when you have no idea what you're talking about.

If you paid any attention in the last 3 years you would know the primary limiting factor were the tires. Naturally degrades very quickly, and degrades insanely quickly if the tire overheats, and the tire overheats when you push 100% for 1 lap or less. Drivers were strategizing aspects of their quali lap regarding when the tires would start to overheat. Which also meant that in races you have to be very conservative because otherwise it destroys your entire race strategy (see any Verstappen drive in 2015). Assuming Pirelli doesn't fuck up, which they might, this should now be fixed and the degradation will still be there but the tires will not be so prone to overheating.

The engines are fine, and actually amazing aside from the sound. The problem is that FIA has not only insisted on this extremely expensive and actually cutting edge engine formula, whilst simultaneously setting reliability standards that are pretty much off the charts when it comes to F1. I don't remember the exact details, but even in 2013 a driver had like 9 or 10 engines at their disposal, and back in the old days, engines were changed for every race pretty much if the team could afford it. One unexpected engine blow up can fuck your entire season, especially now that the 250 grid penalties at once loophole is closed, which is why teams are essentially forced to run in safe modes for the entire race. This again is not the fault of the power unit itself (which are some of the most reliable of all time btw), but a fault of retarded regulations that made the PU's a) insanely expensive and b) forced them to last like 5-6 races, including all the FPs and qualis, whilst simultaneously complaining about drivers not being more active in non-race sessions.

>>74176870

CONT'd

Fuel flow restrictions are not actually restrictive to performance at current levels aside from maybe Honda. Mercedes hasn't even been secretive about the fact that they underfuel severely for each race. This might be different next year if the cars push harder, but honestly we will just have to wait and see what the actual race paces are going to be like.

I'm sure I could go on and on but the point is you don't know what you're talking about

And as much as I would be fully ok with going back to V10's or even V8s, its not going to happen. Watch the interview with Ross Brawn about the future of F1 and what his role is going to be. He advocates for technology and being cutting edge etc obviously, but he also advocates the separation of road car relevance and racing tech, because in his words following the trend of road cars will end up in electric cars that drive themselves.

My wild guess would be some sort of standardized hybrid unit (as this is the most expensive part) and a relatively straight forward V6 turbo that sounds like F1.

>>74176937
>>74176870
>>74176706
Finland is right but I agree I would prefer an LMP1 style solution of hybrid variants balanced against each other. That way a dirt cheap engine can be produced with limited hybrid features.

>>74176991

It would end up being expensive as fuck anyway because its F1 we are talking about.

I don't think the current PU is the optimal way to go about things but I dunno, big manufacturers are already spending this much money, with new regs they're not going to start spending LESS money. It's expensive and will continue to be expensive forever because some tiny autism part of an engine that costs 999999 man hours will make your engine 0,1 seconds faster per lap therefore its worth it if you have the money, and add to that equation the whole uncharted territory aspect of hybrid power and whatnot and yea, its going to be expensive regardless.

>>74177200
From the beginning the engines should have had a price cap on them anyway so the engine manufacturers don't pass the price on to smaller teams.

If Sauber could use a tuned up Cosworth V8 with a KERS system that would naturally be a lot cheaper then they would.
It would be a lot easier for an F2 team (when it becomes F2) to move on to an F1 team if price of entry wasn't so stupidly high for the bottom end of the grid.

Doubt that and they are amazing race cars. I just hope the rules weren't as stupid as they were and that they could somehow be engineered to be cheaper. Oh an longer lasting tires would be cool ty. The power units are the highlight of current era cars.

/f1/ please give your opinion on this topic:
>>74178084

>>74176991

Right, because in LMP1 the non-hybrids are really sticking it to the hybrids...

LMP1-Hybrids are manufacturer teams, other manufacturers aren't able to play in LMP1 non-hybrid because the ACO did not want an hybrid to lose to a non-hybrid. And the difference in resources between a manufacturer and a privateer is night and day, hybrid or not. Privateers would have to run 50% more fuel (or more) than the hybrids to get the same performance.

LMP1-H has become too expensive at the same time it has lost all variety - everyone's petrol, all use battery storage, only difference is Porsche have one front-axle MGU-K and a Heat ERS (no e-Turbo, AFAIK), while Toyota has one MGU-K on each axle.

>>74175138
The aero changes mean that there is more low drag down force available than the current formula

So your whole post is pretty much wrong

You are implying I give a shit in the performance levels between non-hybrids and hybrids.
Doesn't matter if they are at the back as long as we can have a full grid (26 cars) as a minimum then it is okay.
All the cheaper teams have said themselves if they could take a less competitive engine for a fraction of the price they would.

Frankly I'd do a hard split and have two championships for manufacturer and non-manufacturer with different rule sets but apparently people find that immoral.

are simbabbies going to be the end of f1? literally consequenceless way of learning to drive. literally have nobody else around you to learn wheel-to-wheel skills.
even with amx or cyka, they arent exactly that strong of a driver wheel-to-wheel. amx has improved a bit but his moving under braking is directly a result of consequenceless sim driving.

The end of the race is one of the worst travesties in F1.

>>74183035
88 was more bullshit due to the points system being fucking retarded, though Senna did deserve that for his drive in that race.

>but he also advocates the separation of road car relevance and racing tech,
exactly I'm hoping Brawn and Chase now without Bernie around do the right thing and force a radical change away from these power units. But F1 doesn't want their public image to appear to be against environmentalism.
"Road Relevancy" is one of the FIA's smokescreen propaganda excuses like "cutting costs". Every regulation change they make backfires and ends up making the sport more expensive. The limits on power unit components with farcical grid penalties was originally supposed to "cut costs" but teams can't make their components last the whole season and then they can't race hard without fear of grid penalties. and it leads to bullshit races with lifting & coasting in the early laps, Lewis being able to back off and slow down as much as he pleases without a threat of losing a position. Ever since F1 has switched to these power units it has lowered the quality of the racing.

I get that it's the natural evolution of the KERS system with a brake by wire MGU-K for regen under braking and adding using the ICE & MGU-H to help charge the bigger battery and bigger HP deployment from the battery system. but road relevancy was never F1's main priority. Road relevancy for manufacturers was through sportscar racing, touring cars and Le Mans. F1 is more of a trickle down effect like paddle shifters. Every rule change backfires so they might as well "go backwards" and put a modern V10 into it. The 2.4L V8s weren't exactly gas guzzlers either.

I think the contract for these current power units ends in 2018 or 2020 and then F1 has to decide what the next engine formula will look like. I can't wait. They said these road relevant turbo hybrids would lure in more manufacturers but Honda can't even supply a second team yet. but obviously I hope I'm proven wrong, and Pirelli start making good tires, Renault and Ferrari, Honda get their act together and we get good racing.

as much as I hate Mercedes, I also hate the fact that none of the other teams have been able to challenge them. I thought all three engine manufacturers agreed on these new power units, so why does it seem like Mercedes are the only ones that are good at it?
