By the way did everyone see the B. Sport guy's analysis?
Difference of opinion I guess… My last comment regarding this, because we won’t get anywhere… Without the instructions they receive, they simply wouldn’t be able to make as many adjustments as they do today, therefore they wouldn’t be driving the car at the limit of almost every parameter… Today’s drivers can sit on a 1990’s race car and drive it without issues, 1990’s drivers would have a very hard time driving today’s cars… Is not only been told what to do, is doing it while at the same time you are racing against other drivers in what are the fastest racing cars out there. I believe is way more challenging… You don’t, that’s ok, but it won’t change the fact that they tried to take the communication away and had to bring it back rather quickly.mzso wrote: ↑24 Mar 2022, 00:12I think you're a tad misguided. Pushing buttons on order I don't consider driving even, much less racing. And driving to whatever directions the engineer gives, just takes away from actual driver skill and performance, it makes it robotic.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022, 19:21If the idea of simplifying things would be what F1 think is best for them, they will go for it… If been ridiculously complex and the fastest car racing series is what they think is best for them, we will continue to have what we do now… I do believe that it is more challenging to drive these cars that it was when it was “simpler”, but is just my opinion.
I don't even think it's more challenging. A voice in your ear always whispers the ideal setting, and you just drive the car the easiest way in a given circumstance.

You are actually right when you explain the birth of the name. On the other hand I was not completely wrong because in fact the rule was one: displacement limit of 4500 cubic cm for non-supercharged engines, or 1500 cubic cm supercharged.kalinka wrote: ↑24 Mar 2022, 11:07No.S E C T I O wrote: ↑24 Mar 2022, 04:26Formula 1 got its name because it had only one rule, today an army is needed just to study the rules.And for me, yes, pilots just needs a steering wheel and three pedals.

"In motorsport, the term ‘Formula’ refers to a set of rules and regulations adopted by the organizers, to which all participants must comply with. As for the number ‘One’, it was added to recognize the championship as the premier category in motorsport."
There were many other rules too. Single seat. open wheel etc. But I do think it is time to really simplify the rule book.S E C T I O wrote: ↑24 Mar 2022, 15:24You are actually right when you explain the birth of the name.

100%But I do think it is time to really simplify the rule book.
You are right, I never considered that and always thought open wheels was in the rules. then again I thought 4 wheels was until i remember the tyrollwogx wrote: ↑24 Mar 2022, 16:04http://www.laberezina.com/images/2014/V ... W196-2.jpg
Mercedes-Benz W196 "Type Monza" raced three times in F1.

an aerosol and vapor are different things. Even with 400 bar injection the fuel is in a liquid form that instantly evaporates cooling the cylinder. I always thought that using a very rich fuel mix cooled the engine using latent heat of vaporization, maybe i'm wrongTommy Cookers wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022, 23:33
'very rich fuel/air mix for cooling' gave reduced flame temperature allowing more 'boost' without detonation
(because the fuel was largely unvapourised the flame front was cooled by fuel boiling ?) - said Sam Heron
but today's 400 bar direct injection leaves little fuel unvapourised
the overall gas temperature is set by the charge cooler so doesn't need cooling by in-cylinder fuel boiling
yet again .....
They used it once again in 1955.Tommy Cookers wrote: ↑24 Mar 2022, 21:43'Monza' W196 ? - the 196 'always' had closed bodywork until MB replaced it with open
The W196's delayed debut at the 1954 French Grand Prix saw the introduction of the aerodynamic closed-wheel aluminium "Type Monza" streamliner body for the high speed track at Reims. Juan Manuel Fangio and Karl Kling claimed a 1–2 finish, and Hans Herrmann posted the fastest lap. The same body was later used only three more times: at the 1954 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, 1954 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where it picked up its nickname in 1954, and at Monza again at the 1955 Italian Grand Prix. In total the "Type Monza" won three races (1954 French Grand Prix, 1954 and 1955 Italian Grand Prix), all with Fangio at the wheel. These three Grands Prix have remained the only races won by a closed-wheel car in Formula One history.
