Before FP1 they were allowed max. 10% HOT blowing and max.10% COLD blowing, if I`m not wrong ...

So if 68% HOT blowing = 100% COLD blowing, and if RBR use only 45% COLD blowing, then if that`s true the situation is like that:
- RBR has lost 35% of COLD blowing or equal 23,8% HOT blowing (I don`t know it`s a direct proportion ...)
- Mercedes and Ferrari have lost 90% HOT blowing and that`s more than 3 times less !!!

End of championship and happy holiday chaps! :D

IM confused.

As we stand now, what is the rule?

A: Overrun is allowed just like in Monaco.
B: 10% overrun rule as stated by Whiting last week.
C: Mercedes overrun allowed, all others at 10%.
D: Mercedes overrun allowed, Renault overrun allowed at 50%, everyone else suck it.

In FP3 they talked about Mercedes being allowed to blow and showed Christian Horner and Adrian Newey returning from Charlie Whiting looking really pissed. They didn´t talk about percentages for Renault but it sounded like Option C.

FP3 was very surprising to see Ferrari the fastest in S2 ( aero dominant sector, high speed corner ), and Red Bull very very fast in S3 ( a lot of slow corner ) or Ferrari very slow in S3..

not really. faces like slapped arses all round on the Red Bull prat perch in my opinion because they didnt get to the FIA first like Mercedes did

cant stand Christian Horner either
Hence your answer...anyway....when you P1 in practice I wouldn't exactly call that a slapped arises situation....if I was a Mclaren supporter I might call it that... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyway...the FIA are to blame in all this...if they come out with unambiguous rulings then stick to them and make them fair across the board....don't leave room for guys like Whitmarsh to bitch about RB been advantaged...they have been ahead all season and longer...now all of a sudden it's because of the rulings....gimme a break...if a gap is given they will take it.....

Alonso goes off and almost collects an Red Bull when he emerges from the gravel trap.

I wonder if that is a snapshot of an intranet page as opposed to an Internet page...

It's under waved yellows so was the Red Bulls job to avoid Alonso rejoining the track.
