I've been following this series from damn near the time it was first announced and this is the first I've heard of this part of it.

I don't know why they'd look at you funny over the dash between cars comment as that was the original plan when the series was first announced.

Honda has said that because of the temps in Oz that they're running on even lower power settings than they did in testing to preserve the units.

Since there didn't seem to be any fasteners holding the head on I would say no.

I don't know. The beef is with management and the engineers and mechanics are professionals.

Thanks for sorting the wheat from the chaff Stef. The whole thing was kind of confusing taking in the reports from all the various reports out there.

Somehow I don't think this picture was taken in India.

Those are all awesome! The only thing wrong with the third one is the ride height. Bump it up to normal Bel-Aire level and alls good.

No worries. I wrote a screed after getting home from the bar around 3am last Friday night/Saturday morning defending an earlier post I'd made about women in motorsports defending the job that Monisha Kattleborn has done at Force India. :/

Doug moved to Philly ages ago.

With the auto maybe? I have 177k on my 5 speed.

Yikes. That's what I get for posting at 3am half liquor end up.

Claire had a step up by being born into the team but the team is doing better than it has in years under her reign. Yes they have the Mercedes PU but who she was the one who brokered that deal, and the team principle before her was the genius who went with Cosworth in 2010.

With women making a strong showing on the technical side over the last few years it's a bit of a shame that on the driver side the women being promoted are more about style over substance.

Saw the photo at the top and was ready to use the "Take my money!" And "I keep stuffing money into my monitor" memes for the first time ever.

On a run last week I was blinded by a truck that had damn near the whole lower grill area filled with LED lights. And this was at around 9 am on an overcast day.

The sides of the cockpit around the drivers head is a separate piece of energy absorbing material. That said however your head doesn't need to hit anything to cause a concussion. All that's required is for your head to stop abruptly.
