An utterly spectacular Brazilian Grand Prix ended with Max Verstappen taking victory after a controlled race from pole position. Behind him, Pierre Gasly made it to the podium in a crazy end of the race that involved two safety cars.
No manufacture should have a prototype ready to go right now, so I call bs on the rumors.
F1 is about prototypes.... (or was?
)Today FIA sent out another Technical Directive (TD 38/19) about possible engine trickery. It states that any flammable liquid from the cooling systems can not be used for combustion. You know which team this is aimed at."....TD 35/19 was followed four days before the GP Brazil TD 38/19. This time, it is important that no flammable liquid from the intercooler, the air collector or the ERS system is allowed to enter the combustion chambers.
Why don’t the FIA just come out and admit that they think Ferrari is cheating but they are outsmarting them and they cannot figure out how!Capharol wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 22:56Today FIA sent out another Technical Directive (TD 38/19) about possible engine trickery.

I assume the 36 other TDs were as well sent out because the FIA thought Ferrari was cheating?Restomaniac wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 23:12Why don’t the FIA just come out and admit that they think Ferrari is cheating but they are outsmarting them and they cannot figure out how!Capharol wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 22:56Today FIA sent out another Technical Directive (TD 38/19) about possible engine trickery.

Do you consider this a bad thing? I do not I love things like this, if they are actually doing it and it is not 100% disallowed. This is the stuff that makes F1 so enthrallingRestomaniac wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 23:12Why don’t the FIA just come out and admit that they think Ferrari is cheating but they are outsmarting them and they cannot figure out how!Capharol wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 22:56Today FIA sent out another Technical Directive (TD 38/19) about possible engine trickery.

They should have something ready for the post season abu Dhabi test, it all depends on how much different the 2020 PU is to the 2019.dans79 wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 00:46No manufacture should have a prototype ready to go right now, so I call bs on the rumors.
They have several months before they need to have a 2020 engine ready, so any manufacture worth their salt would be focusing on squeezing every ounce of performance out of their concept. Producing a race ready prototype now, is just a waste of time and money, because it will most likely be outdated by the time the actual 2020 season roles around.
You’re not allowed to test parts which have not been used in the actual season. Since Ferrari was planning to end the season with 3 specs, I think it’s safe to say that they’re not ready with any prototype or gonna rush anything.ENGINE TUNER wrote: ↑14 Nov 2019, 01:00They should have something ready for the post season abu Dhabi test, it all depends on how much different the 2020 PU is to the 2019.dans79 wrote: ↑13 Nov 2019, 00:46No manufacture should have a prototype ready to go right now, so I call bs on the rumors.

AMuS tells that’s it’s gonna be a new spec 3 PU, btw.
