F1 season opener Bahrain.....Spoiler Alerts

It's a funny old game. The Marshall that made the decision that led to Verstappen 'winning' in last years final has 'gone'. Now Ferrari's engine failure allows at least some joy for LH. I hope they find the kangaroo in the tank before next race.

Apparently they are even considering A/C systems to cool the fuel. It is not technically allowed but they are working on ways to find a way of cooling the fuel system within the regulations, its benefit will be increased power as well as better reliabilaty. The lift pumps are going to be a thing we hear a lot about if they dont come up with a way of getting around the problem.


The scary thing is we are expected to use this E10 fuel in our cars, no wonder there are people who are having problems.

Both Red Bull retirements were due to the fuel pump issue, it's a standard part from the FIA.
