- FIA will change it's name to FIAANA (Federation Internationale du American Automobiles du North America)
- Spa will have a capacity of 170.000 seats and will be converted into an oval. Kimi learns to draft and wins Spa 2010.
- Every race will end in a crash.
- Polish victory laps will become common.
- Some cars will change only two wheels during pit stops.
You know is that legal? I sometimes wondered if that would happen? We know some tracks are more demanding on the fronts than the rears and some tracks more demanding on the rears than the fronts.Some cars will change only two wheels during pit stops
Let's not forget that the cars will have more stickers on them.Ciro Pabón wrote:Predictions about what will happen when USF1 starts to compete and americans, as usual, take over F1 (NO, I don't mention Danica):

That is legal as long as they are the same type (softs, hards and so on). I remember only recently that a car, which can't recall right now, changed only the rears for a race since the fronts were ok.PNSD wrote:You know is that legal?

Yeah, it was one of the wet races last year wasn't it? Honestly I don't see the point if you're allowed to have any number of mechanics "over the wall".jddh1 wrote:That is legal as long as they are the same type (softs, hards and so on).

Yes it was a wet race. And I agree. If you have so many dudes working on the car might as well change all 4 tires.jon-mullen wrote:Yeah, it was one of the wet races last year wasn't it?

the ones which lost their jobs just were not good enough.Conceptual wrote:I have to say that if USF1 happens to pick up all of the disgruntled Junior F1 engineers that left their jobs because they weren't allowed to participate in the design of upgrades (the test-only guys that know more than anyone else), and USF1 lets them run their own space, you could see the best of each car on the USF1 challenger next year.
I think that carries over to a lot of industries, don't you? Getting young people before they've developed bad habits or become stuck in one rote way of thinking. If they're at any disadvantage it's because the regs favor refinement over innovation, which would seem to favor people that have been around a while.Conceptual wrote:I dunno, I recall getting hammered by saying that I could do a good job with young engineers, but the more that I learn about how the inside of F1 realy works, I believe in what I said before even more.
Can I also point out that he said "that's the rumour" several times. Taking it from his words you can't really say as to what he believes.xpensive wrote:MrE has doubts about Windsor.

Actually, I don't think he needed a crystal-ball for that statement.
