IainMorton Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Flights and hotel booked for Malaysia, just need to get tickets to the race now £500 for flights and 9 nights in a hovtel, bring it fecking on! Originally went looking for Belgian GP tickets but somehow have ended up in Malaysia instead, been to KL on 3 pervious occasions but never to the GP - I'll be sweating buckets for the week. FFS my flights to/from Birmingham and four nights in Milton Keynes for Silverstone costs about 300 quid more than that. I'm def doing something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterlichtie Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 After 1st day of testing in Barcelona, Vettel & Hamilton both quick. Mercedes quick & reliable. Have Ferrari managed to close the gap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 After 1st day of testing in Barcelona, Vettel & Hamilton both quick. Mercedes quick & reliable. Have Ferrari managed to close the gap? Ferrari closed the gap last year and the year before that also and still where behind the Mercedes by a far distance. Taking everything with a huge pinch of salt. Btw, looks like the qualifying gimmick.....sorry I mean format.....is changing again. http://www.racer.com/f1/item/126393-f1-gets-dramatic-qualifying-overhaul TLDR: Q1 will last 16 minutes, after 7 minutes the slowest driver will take be eliminated. Every 90 seconds thereafter, the slowest will be knocked out until there are only 15 drivers remaining. Q2 and Q3 follow a similar format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It's a bit wacky, but I quite like the sound of that. I'd prefer they didn't do it to the same extent in the final session - maybe leaving the top 3/5 in the shoot out - but it'll certainly make the sessions a bit more exciting.

Leicesterlichtie Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I wonder if knocked out drivers could get in the way/obstruct other drivers on in lap. The FIA must have a plan for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I love the idea for qualifying. Will make it much more exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The first session in qualy has been a waste of time for the last few years. In 2014 it was the Marussias, the Caterhams and then a combination of Saubers and Toro Rossos. Last year it was slightly better due to the demise of Caterham and McLaren being pish. This should at least liven things up again. Wouldn't be surprise if it is binned though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 What is that as well? At the risk of being whooshed it's like fantasy football but with F1 drivers and teams. Cheers Stu. Edit: My team (so far)..... Stopped using that site last year as they had a few licensing issues and had to use slightly fake names in an ISS/PES3 style. The Badger GP seemed to work well last season so sticking with that. It included a prediction aspect too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Have now got the Fantasy F1 set-up. Doddle to join: Go to http://www.badgergp.comand register a team in the fantasy F1. Go to friends leagues and when asked if you want to join one use the code 2746136 to join the league, which has the highly original name of The Inhumane League. Spread the word etc. There were about 20 last year which was about ideal and I finished second, which was nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanny paddery Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 New updates to qualifying delayed until race 5 in Spain due to software issues. Seems like a delaying tactic. Would be surprised to see it come in at all this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
