Administrators JoeDirt Posted January 29, 2014 Administrators Posted January 29, 2014 Day 2 running, listen to the sound of the new V6 turbos, I like them a lot Vettel took the car out and turbo caught on fire. Checo had a similar issue with his Force India when it started smoking on the track. New McLaren rear suspension appear to be aggressively directing air to the monkey seat. Look at those wishbones. McLaren announced that Eric Boullier has been appointed racing director having left Lotus last week. As a hardcore McLaren fan I am a bit conflicted about it. No news on Martin Whitmarsh yet and who would be the new team principal. Marrusia finally sorted their issue and their car made it to Jerez, hopefully they will be able to run it Thursday. Button touching tribute to his late dad. Jerez Day Two timesheet @ 3.33pm UK time1. Button, McLaren, 1:24.165, 43 laps; 2. Bottas, Williams, 1:25.344; 35 laps. 3.

TulsaGeoff Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 They sound more throaty, but I definitely liked the sound of the higher rev'ing V8's more. Those things would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Quote

w0lfy Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I'd prefer the V8 myself aswell. That sound when they pass u when ur like 10m away on full speed, it's amazing.. Quote
Ch11m33y aka. ChiLLy<3 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 to be completely honest, i love the sound of the v6, with the squeeling of the turbo much better than the v8s, then again... the old v10's were awesome! Quote

TulsaGeoff Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I don't keep up with the rules. What was the reason for the motor switch? Are the newer cars faster or slower? Quote
w0lfy Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 They want to attract more automakers to the formula 1 by using the smaller engines 1 Quote
Reptile* Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 So any new news of protesting of Maclaren's rear suspensions? Quote
Administrators JoeDirt Posted February 9, 2014 Author Administrators Posted February 9, 2014 So any new news of protesting of Maclaren's rear suspensions? Charlie says its legal, however what happens is that teams will wait until the first race in Australia and then protest to FIA there. See Charlie can say that its legal but he cannot make a ruling, there were many times where he said it was legal and FIA said no. So we wait and see. 2 Quote
rAmbolike Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I don't keep up with the rules. What was the reason for the motor switch? Are the newer cars faster or slower? They want to have the same performance with a smaller motor that means less fuel consumption They call it Downsizing.. that is what i think... Quote
