Is it not the case that the cars have to run quali and the whole of the race using a single engine mode? If so, I struggle to see party mode being of much help given the hard time it gives the ICU?Originally Posted by britlude
Assuming Racing Point were going to the same Party as Mercedes, I do wonder if this rule will knock them down the quali pecking order a little?

Williams F1 - sold https://www.motorsportweek.com/2020/...vestment-firm/
When I heard the news this morning I actually felt quite sad ... however, reading the press releases throughout the day and it reads as good news and not just because it means they survive ...
If only they could make it more aero efficient with the MB lumpin the back we could see George mixing it up well into the mid-field ... and then Bottas can step aside and let him in ... unless the plan is for him to replace Lewis and they are keeping Bottas along for the stability and manufactures titles ...

From commentary in Pistonheads there is reference to the Investment Company allegedly acting for and owned by a single family with the operation name of BCE. As a speculation in the posting that it could be (say) simIlar to the initials of Franks old friend; Bernard Charles Ecclestone.
And, hey, this announcement is made only days after the signing of a new Concorde Agreement for F1.

Perez has announced he's leaving Racing Point, and it seems the way is now clear for Vettel to slot into that seat.... Now that really wasn't a surprise, was it ,for Lance Stroll to keep his seat there.... (He does seem to have had all the 'luck' with the results this year in the team)
aka Jonathan!!
'92 charlotte green auto.... as a daily
'37 Ford Y street rod......... something for the weekend!
...... if a photobucket pic is foggy, click it, and it'll take you to the clear version, yes, it's a clicking faff....
Great shame about Checo - he deserved that seat for all manner of reasons. He has handles himself with great restraint and dignity through all this I think.
....and in other news, Ferrari appear to have stumbled upon a fix for their performance issues and the no doubt detrimental effect this is having on marketing 'the brand'....they've painted their cars purple so that they no longer look like Ferrari's - genius!

Back to Renault power for RB and Max then ... clearly not selling enough bland hybrids to support the F1 investment ... shame but not really unexpected ... pretty sure neither MB or Ferrari would supply them and defo not enough time to bring a new player into the mix
