At the same stage last season Mclaren had won 34 more points than this
season. Lets see how long it takes them to figure out what's going on.

Is Barrichello going to do anything this year and pick up a few
points, or is he just cruising his way into retirement and not too
bothered about the racing?

Fratelli d'Italia
L'Italia s'è desta
Dell'elmo di Scipio
S'è cinta la testa.
Dove'è la Vittoria?.
Le porga la chioma;
Chè schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
Stringiamoci a coorte,
Siam pronti alla morte:
Italia chiamò!

It is the culture in which it takes 2 months and 5 races to bring a
foreseeable situation to a resolution that has made F1 such a mess so
often.

FIA Gearbox Cost Savings For Formula One Teams A Failure

A slight tweak to the new long-life gearbox rules is likely to be
introduced soon.

This year, under the risk of five-position grid penalties, drivers may
use only one complete gearbox for four grand prix weekends.

The rule, however, does not apply on Fridays, meaning that one-off
gearboxes are fitted to the cars throughout the initial three hours of
official practice.

However, the combination of the two scenarios - despite the FIA's
desire to reduce costs - means that teams are actually bringing more
gearboxes to races than ever before.

Not only are spare four-race gearboxes ready in the transporters in the
event of a failure on Saturday, teams are also bringing to races spare
Friday gearboxes -- as well as the sealed current four-race 'box per
car.

Literally.

The Hamilton/McLaren 3-stop strategy enabled Lewis to do some quick laps
during the race. Kimi, as he often does, set the fastest lap of the race,
but looking at the 50 fastest laps, available here:

I posted these comparisons throughout the 2006 & 2007 seasons to illustrate changes
in top speeds as measured

through the speed traps. In previous years
I restricted the comparison to speeds recorded during the three segments of
qualifying, since the best laps are usually recorded in those sessions. For
2008 I propose to consider the top speeds recorded in the other sessions
(free practice and the race).

The first table compares the 2007 team/driver combination with the equivalent 2008
team/driver - the same

driver if possible, otherwise the 2007 driver is
compared to his 2008 replacement. This comparison is intended as a team
comparison, but the first (driver) table is also of some interest - but
should be read with care.

Notes

All teams have retained their names except for Spyker-Ferrari which has become
Force India-Ferrari.
