Not as exciting as ^^^ but FIA has confirmed F1 will use 1.6L V6 Turbo engines in the 2014 season

Well its officially time for Charlie Whiting to cop a Bitch Slapping
Renault loose cold blowing concession Due to lobbying from the engine manufacturers Merc powered cars were going to be able to maintain their throttle overrun firing of 4 cylinders ( Hot Blowing ) to reduce crank case pressures and give them control over engine braking. This gives them the ability to tune the stability under braking when Kers is harvesting energy. Renault have always run high throttle openings to cool exhaust valves ( I believe it was 45% before blown diffusers ) and were to be given 50%. That has now been pulled. I don't know if they will be allowed to run the 45% or if they will be stuck with the 10% originally intended. If it is 10% then the Renaults are going to be hand grenades waiting to happen. Funny how Mclaren get what they want but Red Bull gets screwed over and its all happening during an event where your out winging the solution. The FIA is officially F^&ked. Just stop messing with shit and let the engineers ante up if they are off the pace!!!

It's a joke. Back in the day it was about who was a better driver. Recently it's about who's in a better car. Now it's about... well fark knows! Mid-season rule changes of any kind shouldn't happen should they? It stuffs everyone up and can give advantages and disadvantages to particular teams. Grrrr.

On further investigation Renault engines are stuck with 10% as originally planned.
Surely the whole debacle could have been fixed much easier by declaring all exhausts will exit through a single or double round pipe of X diameter at a certain position as has been proposed for 2012. Do what you want with your mapping it won't help you aerodynamically anyway so why go silly on it.

Surprise Surprise. Emergency meeting of the Technical Working Group at Silverstone with Charlie Whiting 1/2 hour before the start of qualifying. Wonder who is going to be throwing all their toys out the sandpit at the end of it???

They will be changing the rules during the race next. Like how Tander is allowed to cross the pit entry blend line (and take out the fn cone) and no one else is. Funny how influential teams have all the say in motorsport.
Renault must be about ready to throw it in. They lost 4 cylinder engines and the 50% over run in the same week. Either way Riccardo's first Qualy starts on One in 10 mins. If he out does his team mate it would be very impressive. On my calculations from P3 tho neither of them were with 107%.......
