Standings are all done on WCC standings, except when another teams driver wins the WDC then they get 01/02.

In 2010 Jenson moved from Brawn to McLaren and they got 01/02 on their cars, however were 3rd in pit lane, Mercedes were first that year and Red Bull second.


Thanks for the clarification.

:o :shock: So, it is like there is no 13th car, officially?
Finishing second is being the first one of losers....

Yup, no 13th car officially. However the no 14 car is regarded as the 13th car, just without the 13 on the chassis top that brings so much bad luck. Its for the phycological area of drivers and teams tho.

The numbering goes by WCC. But the WDC must always get number 1, so if the wcc team doesn't win the wdc, the wdc and his teammate get 01 and 02, before the wcc gets 03/04, then the next get 05/06 and so on

If I don't find a direction to race, because it's maybe only smalls teams available, then I'm not interested.

My apologies, but he's insane. He's fighting midfield and backmarkers in a multiple race winning car yet he says he wants to race competitively should he leave Ferrari. Not only is he a shadow of his former self but he's delusional. Get him out asap.

Massa should count himself lucky if he's still in a car next year.

Valence disparaît du calendrier

Bernie Ecclestone, le gestionnaire des droits commerciaux de la F1, a indiqué à Budapest qu'il y aura 20 GP en 2013, mais aucun organisé à Valence. La saison débutera le 17 mars en Australie et s'achèvera au Brésil.

source: eurosport.fr


20 GP in 2013 and Valencia is out.
Start the 17th of March in Australia and final race back in Brasil.

In Q Massa haven´t really done that bad of a job. Especially not when comparing the total time deficit with Hamilton/Button.
He´s been outqualified everytime but he´s doing a better job relatively then Button in Qualifying.

Could Hamilton sign a 2014/2015 deal with RBR/Ferrari and for 2013 go to a midfield team ?

He could - it's not outside the realm of possibility in terms of whether or not it's contractually possible.

Would he? I don't think so - but I've been wrong before

Raikkonen and Alonso for Ferrari? I think they're just blowing smoke, but would LOVE to see that happen!

Another person added to the magic ferrari seat list.
It seems to get bigger every year.

Di Resta
Hulkenberg
Maldonado
Kubica
Bianchi
Raikkonen
Perez
Might as well throw in Narain in the mix.

Why in the world would he go to a mid-field team in 2013?
Why not just stay at Mclaren for 2013 then move in 2014 to RBR (or Ferrari)

The Belgian Television also mentioned Grosjean as he already worked with Alonso and the feeling between both wasn't bad.
The French TV mentioned the following four: Button, Perez, Di Resta and Hulkenberg.
