Traction control to be banned starting 2008 !!!

Now if we can have Michael and Mika back, those two will multi-lap everyone in the field.... I mean if they all are not already parked in the gravel or in some barriers somewhere... laugh.gif

But that gets me worried though... especially with the young drivers like Kimi, Alonso, Massa and Hamilton. I mean, they are the best we have right now and if they all flop... well, maybe it will be David Coulthard's year after all lol

Anyway I think it'll be fun. It will show the difference between real drivers from "bot-like" drivers...

Veterans like Barrichello can shine tongue.gif
Who else?
I think those guys who raced since 1990 till now can shine.

It won't be that bad.
I'm sure the younger drivers have raced cars without TC before so i don't think it will be a problem for them to adapt. It might take a while to get used to but that goes the same for the veteran drivers also.

F1 car is totally different. Even with TC not everyone can properly control a F1 car. It's not going to be easy, as the race unfolds drivers will tend to get tired and that's where they will start making mistakes. Lap times will be much less consistent.

Drivers like Michael Schumacher actually beat other drivers when it comes to this. It was how he control the car through the corner that makes him so special. and if I'm not mistaken, he could go on throttle earlier out of a corner than many other driver.

When it rains, erm... i cant imagine what will happens lol

But one thing good is that we'll finally get back to the era where driver is all that matters, with same tyres for everyone, we'll see who's the real champion...

I remember Hakkinen when traction control was first introduced, he turned it off to get faster laptimes. He never liked it
Interestingly, Jenson Button's Honda last season had a problem with traction control in Brazil when it turned off by mistake and he was 6 seconds slower than his fastest lap

April 1

Honda Racing F1 are to replace the radical earth livery as early as the Malaysian Grand Prix, replacing the picture of our planet with images from other planets, and RealHondaF1.com snapped a picture in secret testing at Sepang yesterday morning.

First up will be Jupiter, the gas giant, selected as it better represents the current performance of the Honda Racing F1 team. Orbiting the Sun every 11.86 years, the planet comprised of hot air is considerably slower than some of the rival planets, such as Mars or even Earth itself. Fortunately, Jupiter still laps the Sun quicker than the likes of Saturn or Neptune.

The new 'Jupiter' livery.
"This is a fantastic new direction for the Honda Racing F1 team," explained Shirley Knot, Honda's Planetary Alignment Officer, "and shows the world that we're serious about challenging for the title, and not just about attracting attention through bold liveries and audacious marketing campaigns.

"It's also an opportunity to extract a bit more cash from our fans, through the soon to be launched myjupiterdream.com website. This new site will allow our fans to donate money while making pledges, such as promising to heat their homes using natural gas, or create a generally stormy atmosphere."

The team will be changing the image on the car from race to race, relative to the performance against our on track rivals. For Malaysia and Bahrain, the team have readied Jupiter and Saturn images, while the Spanish Grand Prix is expected to see the team using Uranus.

The French Grand Prix is expected too see the use of Mars, the red planet being just 0.88 years an orbit slower than the current Earth livery. By the time the Formula One championship reaches Hungary, home of Jenson Button's win last season, the expectation is to be using Venus, the brightest planet in the sky, and 0.385 years per orbit quicker than Earth.

Only when the world championship is in sight will Mercury be used.

so, website also faked? Just to play April Fool?
either way, my question still remain...Honda are still not using their uniform colors & sponsor stickers in any of the Sepang tests. Do they not have any sponsors this season? Or are the stickers too small to be seen... unsure.gif
