Re: Clever men, with clever ideas.....
Achilles - what I don't understand is that (allegedly) the FIA have already looked at the system and have declared that it is legal.
This also seems to have been the case in the past, e.g. with the Wunderdiffusor on the Brawn last year.
I can understand other teams asking the FIA to make a statement on why they have declared something illegal or illegal but I find it all a bit daft.
IMO the FIA really has 2 choices - either to state that team X has something that it is legal and say that they are not willing to disclose details (for obvious reasons because it woud be the cheapest way for other teams to nick the idea), or to restate the rules concerning the system in such a way that it is clear why the system is legal without revealing exactly what the team's solution is. The reason I say this is because the FIA rules tend to be so vague and interpretable that they HAVE to be restated in order to understand exactly what they mean.
As for misdirection, the FIA and F1 as a whole thrive on it. Without the scandals the media wouldn't have much to talk about at all.

Re: New points system...
The point is:
1) The loss of 0.8 points (from 8 to 7.2) is hardly going to make much difference.
2) While you can say it motivates someone to try to go from 2nd to 1st, however it also equally motivates someone not to try to go from 3rd to 2nd (as loss for 3rd is 0, whereas for 2nd is -0.8).
3) What is the purpose of giving the biggest encouragement to 9th place (+0.8) while giving no encouragement to 3rd and 5th (0 change each) and negative encouragement to 4th (-0.2)? This is a rhetorical question, my point is that this doesn't make sense.

Re: Stefan GP in by Wednesday?
Couldn't read the article (my French isn't that good), but I did see some pics of the Dallara that inspired me to check out other sites. The car looks a bit like a cross between the Ferrari F10 and the Virgin with a Force India-style front wing. The most striking features, though are the sidepods and the wing mirrors.
http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2010/03/04/hrt-f1-car-revealed-pictures/attachment/71554038/
I find the whole "Stefan GP is a hoax" story a bit unusual. If true, it's hard to believe that they got as far as they did -- how did they buy Toyota's car / facilities?
Not saying it's untrue, just strange... My instinct and prima fascia evidence would suggest that Stefan was a paper tiger. If true, easily seen why -- conning your way on to the grid. If not true, why plant a false story? To keep them off the grid?

Hmmmm....

Re: Driver seats 2010 (state of play)
UPDATE: Karun Chandhok announced as remaining Hispania Racing Team (HRT F1) driver.
Older: USF1 reportedly "dead and gone" according to senior figure. Still no official announcement from cowardly Windsor / Anderson pair (they didn't even have the cojones to announce layoffs to the employees in person). FIA issues statement denying additional teams for 2010 in the wake of USF1's failure to make the grid.
Dave Richards reportedly seen with a wry "I told you so" look on his face. :D
.
?
The full, final F1 2010 entry list 04/03/10 is as follows:
__________________________________________________________
01. Jenson Button - McLaren Mercedes
02. Lewis Hamilton - McLaren Mercedes
03. Michael Schumacher - Mercedes GP
04. Nico Rosberg - Mercedes GP
05. Sebastian Vettel - Red Bull Racing Renault
06. Mark Webber - Red Bull Racing Renault
07. Felipe Massa - Scuderia Ferrari
08. Fernando Alonso - Scuderia Ferrari
09. Rubens Barrichello - Williams Cosworth
10. Nico Hülkenberg - Williams Cosworth
11. Robert Kubica - Renault F1 Team
12. Vitaly Petrov - Renault F1 Team
?
14. Adrian Sutil - Force India F1 Team Mercedes
15. Vitantonio Liuzzi - Force India F1 Team Mercedes
16. Sébastien Buemi - Scuderia Toro Rosso Ferrari
17. Jaime Alguersuari - Scuderia Toro Rosso Ferrari
18. Jarno Trulli - Lotus Racing Cosworth
19. Heikki Kovalainen - Lotus Racing Cosworth
20. Karun Chandhok - Hispania Racing Team F1 Cosworth
21. Bruno Senna - Hispania Racing Team F1 Cosworth
22. Pedro de la Rosa - BMW Sauber F1 Team Ferrari ?§
23. Kamui Kobayashi - BMW Sauber F1 Team Ferrari ?§
24. Timo Glock - Virgin Racing Cosworth
25. Lucas Di Grassi - Virgin Racing Cosworth
(26.) Jacques Villeneuve - Stefan GP ¤
(27.) Kamui Kobayashi - Stefan GP ¤
? Position 13 traditionally excluded from FIA list due to silly superstition
? Sauber team still bears BMW name due to contractual obligations, despite having Ferrari engines.
§ "BMW" Sauber moves up ahead of Virgin to USF1's spot on the grid in the final FIA entry list (oddly enough)
¤ At last report, FIA deny Stefan GP a grid slot in 2010 despite USF1's 11th hour withdrawal. Eddie Jordan claims insider knowledge to the contrary -- watch this space until Bahrain (not likely to happen).
Rumour mill for the remaining seats:
__________________________________________________________
Stefan GP (possibly) - Kazuki Nakajima, Jacques Villeneuve, Ralf Schumacher, Alex Wurz, Christian Klien
Top Talent list:
__________________________________________________________
Jacques Villeneuve, Alex Wurz, Christian Klien, Sato, Davidson, Karun Chandhok, Jose Maria Lopez, Daniel Ricciardo, Andy Soucek, Gary Paffett, Adam Carroll, Alexander Rossi, Bertrand Baguette

Re: USF1 Update

This is now at the 'silly beyond belief' stage. The cars are on their way to Bahrain & still no word on the actual grid.

S.O. Mosley
"Some of the sport?s most influential figures ? from Max Mosley (to Michael Schumacher and Tony Fernandes ? have backed Richard Branson....)"
Has n't anyone told Mosley that most of the F1 fraternity don't want to hear from him ....ever....again ??
His influence? was actually more like effluent when you look at the state of F1 right now.

Re: A Fry-up....
"go find Stepney, he got a job.... "
Well, he did have a job. Gigawave's team closed down, though.
I'm sure Bahrain will see some "innovations" but they may well just start another 2009 DD type argument.

Re: USF1
Some of the news is at least encouraging, if Hurley is in fact helping Lopez secure a spot somewhere, that would seem that he is interested in F1 for the long term, and could potentially be a sponsor for USF1 next year.
My only worry would be that the current management structure at USF1 having left a sour taste in the mouth of the FIA.
