Horner finally appealing with FIA regarding inconsistency in ffs reading....

Politics lang yun.

They waited as long as humanly possible before protesting, so that the results at Malaysia would still be provisionary.

If they really wanted a resolution to the case, they would have filed an appeal right away.

Horner is doing the same thing they did last season. Trying to pressure the FIA into changing a rule that handicaps Red Bull. I would throw the complaint out and fine RBR a million dollars or so for wasting everyone's time.

Gill sensor is robust and extremely accurate in all condition. Make sure to turn your fuel down below 100kg/hr to be compliant.

If V8 is BS how do you call the current 1.6L V6 turbo engine?

Formula 1 arrival in Malaysia forces Flight 370 families out of hotel

A row has erupted after relatives of passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had to change hotels when the Ferrari team touched down for this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix.

The media reports, including by German newspaper Die Welt, said that because Ferrari had reserved the rooms at the Cyberview Resort, the grieving relatives of those on the missing flight MH370 had to move out.

“When the first Ferrari employees wanted to check in, they were told that their rooms were occupied,” read the Welt report. ”After heated discussions, the Italians prevailed.”

A hotel spokeswoman confirmed: “It is true that the Chinese families were here, but they are already gone as we are fully booked because of the Formula 1 race.”

Welt added that the hotel arranged alternate accommodation near the Kuala Lumpur airport for the passengers’ families.

Formula 1 Chief Executive Bernie Ecclestone commented: “I feel very sorry for the families of the passengers, but ultimately the decision lies with the hotels.

“Imagine what would happen if hotel bookings suddenly become invalid?” he added.

The newspaper said that hotel rooms for Formula 1′s vast travelling circus are booked “months, sometimes even years in advance”. (GMM)

clearly a bluff from Red Bull, they have a sense of how important they are to the sport

**niky** · March 25th, 2014 06:20 PM

Red Bull ain't going away. The sport is important to them.

Historic makes like Ferrari and McLaren are important to the sport. RBR? Lotsa people don't like them. They're important, but the level of fan support is quite different.

**ClaNker** · March 25th, 2014 08:03 PM

^ Lotsa Ferrari and McLaren fanatics hated them. Don't forget Hamilton's obnoxious fans.

Dietrich Mateschitz just answered a question. It's not even a bluff, unlike Merc last year when they got caught doing illegal tire test.

how about comparing the f1 1980s turbo cars with no fuel limit vs the f1 2014 hybrid engine technology

not much of a difference in terms of noise quality

but the amount of tech evolution they crammed between those carbons, soon it will end up on our roads
