Engine Rules

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Engine Rules

Post

Is anybody else but me miffed about the fact that Button deliberately stopped his car in front of the finish line? Yes he lost out on points but will have some sort of advantage at the next race. I would have loved it had he crossed the finish line in blazing glory. But these stupid rules discourage that kind of thing.

I hope they remove this stupid 2-weekend engine rule by 2008.

Many people here think he should have taken the points, perhaps he should have, but I think it will be an interesting gamble.

Hopefully that rule will be abolished before the end of '06.

I doubt it saves much money because engine manufacturers are having to spend more to keep it running.

Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Sorry. I did, but replied to this without thinking.
