Lewis Hamilton beat Nico Rosberg in a straight fight to win the United States Grand Prix at Austin. Rosberg saw Hamilton pass by halfway in the race to suffer another blow for his championship changes. Daniel Ricciardo completes the podium, a distant 20 seconds behind the Mercedes duo.
My post was merely wild theories plucked from the ether of space and time that "if" (although very unlikely), that they were both excluded it would be extremely lucrative for tabloids / newspapers in the short term.Andres125sx wrote:Alonso and Vettel obviously will comply with 107% no matter if they do not participate FP or Q1, so thinking they could not be allowed to participate is nosenseBurgess wrote:HRT weren't allowed to race once IIRC. 2011 AUs I think?

AMUS states that FI needs to pay a bill today for their deferred payment plan with merc engines. If they do not pay Merc will hold back 5th engine for both drivers. FI needs that engines because the first four alraedy have to much mileage.mikeerfol wrote:Source please?

Regardless of how many teams turned up, in 2005, 2 cars scampered away and 4 cars fought for third place. In 2014, 2 cars will scamper away and 14-18 cars would've fought for third.mikeerfol wrote:So if that happens then what?

Despite the lack of volume through the tv broadcast, watching these cars live they certainly are not shy. Not as loud as the GP3 cars granted but you can still hear them drive the whole track from one corner.Alexgtt wrote:Can imagine one or two of those people pissed when they turn up on Friday and they can't hear the cars!
I agree and actually quite like them myself. For whatever reason I actually prefer the Ferrari sound to all the others.Aquanin wrote:I am looking forward to hearing them in person. The v8's are obviously great, but so high pitched that it's bone rattling without earplugs. Which I have to admit is part of the fun, but it will be interesting to hear the sounds of the turbo and ERS tomorrow.
