Side-by-side comparison of the '14 and the '15 car:

And seems like Honda has really pulled them Yen bags in front of Ron Dennis to see the livery virtually empty of sponsors.

1. That's so ironic! Williams had their partnership when BMW came, and now the ex-BMW squad gets partnered with them! 2. It might end up looking good. I hope for the best! 3. Not bad. Alonso in his overall: there will be more sponsorship than that, probably they will announce their new sponsorship p...

Autosprint thinks this might be the new Ferrari. I doubt it.

Pray that Foxdale are the second or third fastest team, maybe, not the fastest?!

Yes.

Speed is there, now it's time to push for reliability. Not going down without a fight.

Eh. That was poor. Four driver upgrades please.

That quali result! One driver upgrade please.

Eh, this quali proposal is a bit complicated for me, but surely, giving it a test would give a much more clear stance, doesn't it?

Shizuka

Goddamnit, so that fifth place wasn't a fluke.

Marciello has snapped up the Sauber 3rd driver position: m I wonder if he was ever a consideration for a Marussia seat when it looked like they'd be around for 2015. This move certainly gives indications that they think Marciello is ready. Smart move from Ferrari. This puts pressure on both Nasr an...

Awesome, I just used it for that purpose. Thanks Biscione

Good move. I feel like he's playing down his chances while slowly preparing everything a year ahead - I like it so far. Hopefully there won't be a Mastercard move involved.

dr-baker wrote:So Douglas Mann, in his last race in this series, scores a DNF, but it is not due to a blown engine?!?!?

And Ben Fleet so close to a non-points-paying 6th place!

I find it ironic to see Arrows still out of points even in this race...

And DAMS grabbed a sixth place, not bad.

Shizuka

Nah, Fernando is playing a copy of F1: 2007 against Lewis in the back row, both in McLarens, both trying to not tie for points by that season's end... And it's fitting as Vettel played a big role in the final laps of Interlagos back then... In 2007? Don't you mean 2008? You're right, I somehow conf...

The sponsorship deal pretty much confirms it was mainly for money.

Foxhound Life wants to stay in the championship with the same Pjotr-Sergej Madunochev lineup (latter is still a T/RD), with the same boring white livery.

Shizuka

^ on second thoughts, he brought up good points.

But they wouldn't roll

That sounds crazy, I like it.

I can help with Foxhound's budget:
- 2 8th places = 300 AUD
- 2 DNFs = 100 AUD
- 1 out of top 10 finish = 75 AUD
- I had 30
= 505

All in all, I can't help but feel that there probably has been some financial incentive for Ferrari to take him on - as East Londoner points out, Philip Morris's deal with Ferrari ends in 2015, and it may yet be that they decide to cut their ties given that their association with Ferrari is becomin...

Shizuka

Yeah, perhaps try to focus on closing the gap to NRE in the PQ cup

Shizuka

Even though my team reverted back into retiring most of the times, yes!

It was nice to see a sudden championship change here.
