Juuuuuust like it happened in Singapore.
Absolutely, they had to recalibrate the Push-to-crash button for the R29. The only problem is Piquet kept crashing before Flavio pushed the button, Renault hope Grosjean can keep it on the track long enough for the push-to-crash strategy to come into play, that is of course if they can keep the wheels on FA's car.

The push-to-crash strategy only works with the absurdly short first pit stop strategy that Alonso has clearly perfected.

The anit-ferrari stuff makes me giggle as much as the next chap, but i'm trying hard to find the crime here :)

Maybe the front wing? It looks similar to the top wing on this: Image

How new that is, I'm not sure

There seems to be some sort of bright yellow sail device on the car to help harness the prevailing wind ... another eco-friendly initiative from Max?

I told you guys they were testing new ways to cheat with the pit speed lane limiter... but on a serious note, it was reported that there was a 100kph limit to this promo run when the reality it was a 100 km limit (which is longer than a pre race shakedown is allowed to be?!?!?!), so he could actually go as fast as he wanted... but judging by Luca's lap times today that is not very fast at all.
