Not so good. If the teams could limit costs themselves they would be less likely to have worse conditions imposed by the FIA . Had Red Bull been left isolated there was more chance they'd have fallen into line.
That's how the FIA work though, keep the teams divided.

It would seem the FIA's philosophy of divide and conquer has only led Red Bull to multiple sets of titles!

But it leaves the power to do anything about it in the hands of the FIA. And so we have gimmicks to spice things up, like tyres that fall apart, like DRS that makes a mockery of real overtaking. DRS AT SPA and two!! And Bernies more bizarre ideas like random sprinklers, medals etc.

wtf wrong thread.

And its going to get even worse once Max, sorry Ward, takes back the FIA chair from Todt who has been keeping it warm. Then even with Bernie 'gone' the teams and the the irghts holders will find they are powerless once more, like the good old days

Time for the powers that be to stop the power struggling and the power mongering and get down to empowering the sport!!

Ahead of Monza where engines are on full load, here's a detailed technical article about the design of the cylinder head and the pneumatics - http://f1framework.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-closer-look-at-f1-cylinder-head.html

Looking forward to tomorrow. Perhaps practise will yield some insight, as to who's on their game this weekend.

Red Bull look in a class of their own.

Could be an interesting race between the rest though. Hopefully we will get to see Nando, Kimi and Lewis really in some tight racing action.

Looking like a one stopper for the front runners.

This is where Redbull seal the WDC and almost seal the WCC (assuming Webber has KERS and gets to have a decent start).

The race for 2nd place is red hot...yay

[What's Burning?]

I think this will be another everyone choose Vettel for the win pool weekend. Perhaps Red Bull will see a challenge from Merc and Ferrari in the lower speed higher downforce circuit of Singapore.

[CookinFlat6]

Makes a mockery of all those who try to claim that Red Bulls Renault engine gives them some kind of top speed disadvantage.
They have the speed plus the downforce in the best car by far for the last 4 years.

The only thing to do is try grab pole ahead of Seb by being faster and hope he makes a mistake

Otherwise its another Newey weekend

That new thermal camera is great.

[What's Burning?]

Just getting around to watching practice. Very cool on the thermal imaging of the tires. You really get to see how they operate. Would love to see the same on the rears.

Considering this has often been a bad circuit for Red Bull, if they win this, you've gotta hand it to them. What a team.

I wish McLaren would return to such form

They will one day. You're only 6months into a bad spell. But it'll be even sweeter, because of it, when they do come back.

I heard today that if McLaren doesn't get a podium finish this season, (and even McLaren is doubtful) it will be the first time since 1980.
