Massa: "I need a WHITE VISOR! Please come on, a WHITE visor otherwise I can't see anything!!"
Team: "Felipe baby stay cool, we're bringing you a white visor!"

:lol

Those seats must have been really stuffy. IMHO, cheapseats are the way to go.

Looks like the diffusers used by Brawn, Toyota and Williams are legal! Looks like I'll still be watching F1!

Brawn will probably have to figure out a way to implement KERS if they want to stay competitive the whole season.

But some of the drivers don't like using the KERS cause it's too heavy and slows them down in corners. And they can't use it to ballast the weight.

Look at BMW... Kubica isn't using it, but Heidfeld is. But they get similar times.

I guess it also depends on the circuit they're racing on and how big they are.

Does anyone know if there is a minimum weight and maximum power output (power or power/time) for the KERS system? I think there is a lot of potential to improve the KERS, either the weight or the power output, to get a better advantage over the non-KERS cars - except if F1 makes the mistake to freeze the weight/power capacity of the KERS unit within a set of parameters, then the teams have no incentive to develop it further once it's maxed out within the rules.

^
KERS = 15kg for a 6.6s boost of 80hp.

I thought the weight of the system was 30kg...

Yeah my bad, 25-35kg.

What I read was that it was 15kg... off from the fuel tank to run KERS lol

Win, FIA rules in favour of Brawn, Williams and Toyota in Diffuser dispute.

which is BS in a way as Redbull asked for clarification last year as they had the same idea and FIA told them that it's illegal.

SHANGHAI HERE WE COME!

F1 Fantasy, change your drivers for this week :)

pretty sure the lockout was a day or two ago =x or at the very least, it closed at the beginning of practice...

This season will be interesting, especially near the European dates cause then most teams would have the new Diffusers ready. :)

Raid3n: I don't think so haha My friend just changed his line-up and I'm waiting for Practice #3 to end first lol

It usually closes 1 hr or 30minutes before Qualifying ^^ unless they changed it for Shanghai :(

CRAZY!

VETTEL FTW!

^ Unexpected..lol RBR in the lead. BTW, Renault had their new diffuser on their cars right?

I think it was a "Interim" Diffuser on the Renault's

Very unexpected, Vettel takes pole :p

Awesome to see Red Bull and Alonso do well. However they are all running really light, so it will probably be 1-2 again for The Cheaters.

It would be a spectacular "FUCK YOU" from Renault and RB though, wouldn't it?

01. Vettel 644.0kg
