Is there any regulation prohibiting it? NO!

Yes there are – the ones quoted in the article.

@force-maikel People keep saying this but I don’t see how it’s “reasonable” to exclude the drivers from punishment when they were involved in the test.

@d3v0 You’re welcome but @greg-morland wrote it!

@wsrgo a bit rich yes, I’ll admit. However, I probably would’ve reacted in largely the same way whatever the newspaper!

I guess we can only congratulate you on being able to field that bill then @willaim-brierty!

Have a great time at the Silverstone race

The test was conducted by Pirelli though, but they used Mercedes cars and had Mercedes bring the drives and most likely at least part of the engineers @jonsan. I am not saying that makes it a clear Pirelli test, […]

not sure what you are talking about there q85.

If you mean the gimmick on the exhaust exit during pre-season testing, that was not something Williams ever intended to use. Its purpose was more to both attrackt […]

It also perfectly shows how the current KERS rules (and potentially the new ones too) are not all that great an idea of how to use a hybrid power train, instead of making it a boost (push to pass button) they […]

That video with Ron Dennis and Jenson Button promises theres a lot more interesting things to be heard.

Funny that “Lotus-Praga” combination. An demised but recently resurrected (although not building cars) Czech luxury car brand and an almost defunct but still in operation sports car company from the UK on one LMP2 […]

LOL @david-a

I would say there’s so much to do, and only a limited amount of hours in the day to do them, so having others take on certain tasks is a sign of the site growing, who knows, maybe in time F1Fanatic will be able to […]

Probably it’s because he is as human as everybody else and needs a break!
