Mercedes AMG vs V8 Supercar vs F1 car - Speed Comparison

Well you know what cheating mongrels us Aussies can be when there's a sporting competition involved... like the infamous underarm ball - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_FnSfVSG6c

It's really the team and not the driver though. This year each car is required to be fitted with an FIA fuel sensor to ensure that they don't exceed the maximum 100kg/hr fuel flow. In this case, the team found that the sensor was reading a bit high, so complying with it would mean a loss of power... so they changed the ECU settings to ignore it and go with their calculated values instead. They had been told to use the readings from the sensor, but with an offset applied, but chose not to because they felt it was still inaccurate.

The basis for the steward's decision to exclude the car was that "it is not within their discretion to run a different fuel flow measurement method without the permission of the FIA"

I imagine that the basis of their appeal against this decision will be that they did not actually exceed the maximum, it was a sensor error that made it appear that they did so, and that they therefore gained no advantage.

My sources for this are mostly these two articles - http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ricciardo-excluded-from-melbourne-result/ and http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-confident-of-winning-fuel-flow-appeal/

So whats up with that cheating Australian Is that something the driver did or the team and were they aware they were breaking the rules? How does it even happen?

Thanks And yes, it does. I saw it in my yt feed, but hadn't watched it yet.

Red Bull Racing are the reigning champions, but after the huge problems faced by all the Renault powered teams people are wondering if they will even finish the first race on Sunday! In fact people are wondering if anyone will finish, or if it will be a count back after the last car stops on track to allocate points!!!

Anyway, I don't normally watch a lot of tv, but this weekend plan to be glued to the set

most of the Red Bull Flugtag gliders, which have no engine and are built to crash into the water 1 time only, have flown further than this thing ever will.

The way they do it now is the Red Bull ppl get there early and make the basic stuff, then the competitors are allowed to make their own paths - they actually have their own people get on course with pics and shovels.

Oh, sure, there's a path there now, but what about that first guy who rode that without the trail. That's an extreme thrill ride.

It's sure quiet on VS. (Sift Talk Post)

Or maybe there's a sign written in visible ink on the door that reads, "Private Party: Participants Scrutinized With Tweezers By Red Bull Addicted Gamers and Star Wars Fans."
