Formula 1 2013 - Testing In Progress

[Iceman]

2013 season changes

DRS use
For safety reasons, in 2013 drivers are only be able to utilise the Drag Reduction System (DRS) overtaking aid within the designated DRS zones during practice and qualifying. Previously drivers had been free to deploy the system as they pleased in these sessions.

Active double-DRS systems outlawed
In 2012 Mercedes developed a clever concept whereby air was channelled through an opening in the rear-wing endplate when DRS was activated and then fed through the car to help stall the front wing. For 2013 active drag reducing systems involving the DRS, such as this, have been banned.

Stepped noses
Teams have the option of tidying up the aesthetics of their cars in 2013 with the introduction of new regulations aimed at improving the look of ‘ugly’ stepped noses first seen in 2012. A small piece of laminate - nicknamed a ‘modesty' or 'vanity' panel - may now be used to smooth the nose section.

Crash testing
To make F1 cars ever safer, tougher new tests on roll structures and the survival cell have been introduced for 2013. Furthermore, every chassis that a team produces, as opposed to just one, will now be subject to a static load test of the survival cell.

Curfews
The team personnel curfew - which prevents team members from being in the paddock during specified periods - has been extended from six to eight hours on Thursday nights for 2013. The number of exceptions allowed during a season has also been reduced from four to two.

Front wing tests
For 2013 front wing deflection tests will be more stringent to lessen the possibility of flexible bodywork being used to enhance aerodynamic performance.

Minimum weight
The minimum weight of the car and driver has been increased from 640kg to 642kg to compensate for the slightly increased weight of Pirelli's 2013 tyres. The mandatory weight distribution has also been adjusted accordingly.

Force majeure
The ‘force majeure’ allowance relating to when a car stops on the track during qualifying has been deleted from the regulations. For 2013 any car that stops on the track must have enough fuel for the mandatory one-litre minimum sample plus an additional amount proportional to the amount of fuel that would have been used in returning to the pits (determined by the FIA).

Qualifying
Not an actual regulation change, but as the official 2013 entry list comprises 22 cars - two fewer than in 2012 - six cars rather than seven will now be eliminated at the end of both Q1 and Q2.

Championship entry fees
Championship entry fees have been revised. Red Bull, as constructors’ champions, were required to pay US$500,000 plus US$6000 for each point gained in the 2012 World Constructors’ Championship to enter the 2013 championship. Every other team was required to pay a basic fee of US$500,000 plus US$5000 for each point scored in 2012.

[Iceman]

Kimi :love: it'll be great having all the Brits on different teams now it should be a lot more competitive this year

I reckon Hamilton will have a little resurgence toward the end of the year

[Drew.]

i hope Hamilton is battling amongst the top throughout the year but im not sure how good the Mercedes will be.

[Iceman]

I think they'll improve as the year goes on....i dont think he'll be winning straight away

[Drew.]

Yeah your probably right, lets hope we a start similar to last year with 7 different winners :)

[Iceman]

if vettel can get a good start he has it in the bag, he dominated Asia so he'll be good there....

[Iceman]

Chilton is a great driver glad to see him get a drive...4 brits (if Di resta gets one)

[Drew.]

I hope Di Resta keeps his place. Ah yeah i don't really know much about him.. just recently started following him on twitter but to have 4 brits hopefully will be awesome

[Iceman]

Chiltons family are a huge racing family, in nearly all types of Motorsport....

Do you have to pay for online on xbox?

[Iceman]

Awesome, if i can get myself out of bed on the 6am race days i'll try and get on here

I always watch live haha theres too much temptation to just find out results otherwise ha

[Drew.]

Same i hate watching highlights of any sports. Iv put my TV at the end of my bed so i usually dont have to get up lol, but if the forums active while the races are on i'll come on :)

[Novo]

Yeah it's 5.99 a month i just have a monthly renewal on mine all the time, and Drew what is your Gamertag? i'll probably get the newest one if it goes pretty cheap soon, the only other Car game i have is Forza

[Drew.]

Its vP Drew :)

[Iceman]

Same i hate watching highlights of any sports. Iv put my TV at the end of my bed so i usually dont have to get up lol, but if the forums active while the races are on i'll come on :)

[Iceman]

Yeah it's 5.99 a month i just have a monthly renewal on mine all the time, and Drew what is your Gamertag? i'll probably get the newest one if it goes pretty cheap soon, the only other Car game i have is Forza

I would never be off Forza if I had it, probably a good thing lol

[Novo]

Forza is amazing, would take forever to 100% complete it though just like GT

[Iceman]

Forza is amazing, would take forever to 100% complete it though just like GT

Yeah I think i got 27% of GT done and gave up.....im all for big games but thats a monster effort you've to put in.

I really want to be able to have a manager and stuff in new F1 games, like you get them to negotiate big deals and stuff and have off track rivalries you know.

[Drew.]

The gap between the difficulties on f1 2012 is so big tho, im coming around 15th-20th on professional and both the times iv used the difficulty below it iv come 1st on both occasions.

[Iceman]

Yeah I know ive got silver medals in all the Champions scenarios and beat them by 10-12 seconds. On gold medal level i lose by 2-3 seconds... I need a steering wheel though to get the job done haha

[Drew.]

Yeah i was thinking that, its expensive stuff for a good steering wheel tho

[Iceman]

Yeah it would want to be a good investment alright, unfortunately im flat out broke haha

The sister of former Formula One driver David Coulthard has been found dead at her home in the south of Scotland.

Police said they were not treating Lynsay Jackson's death as suspicious.

The 35-year-old was found in her home in the village of Crossmichael, Kirkcudbrightshire, on Saturday morning.

Mrs Jackson was married with an eight-month-old daughter. She used to run the David Coulthard Museum in Twynholm, as well as his fan club.

David Coulthard appeared on the BBC's Saturday Kitchen earlier, and it is believed the news was broken to him after the programme.

BBC F1 technical analyst Gary Anderson in Barcelona:
"When Eddie Jordan broke the news last September that Lewis Hamilton was moving to Mercedes this year, everyone thought it was a joke, but I tell you, the joke might be on them now. Lewis joined McLaren as a boy and he never really grew out of that. But he has joined Mercedes as a man and I have to say his body language is fantastic. He really is up for it.

"Can Mercedes make a car that is worthy of his talents? I think they've done it this year. Some of the lap times we've seen have already been pretty good, but today he has done a 1:20.5 on soft tyres on a low fuel run. That is a pretty impressive lap time. I think they have the talents to win races and win the championship this year."

Would have to happen after Schumi leaves....

[Iceman]

Hamilton actually just set the lap record I think

[michael21]

Hamilton actually just set the lap record I think

good old Hamilton :dance:

[Novo]

Rosberg again :worship: It's going to be his year i think

[Iceman]

He also set the lap record today :worship:

[Novo]

40/1 for 2013 Championship, think there is value E/W in that, he won't be 40/1 by the time it starts i don't think, around 25's i reckon

[Iceman]

50/1 with boylesport! Im placing bets now haha

[Drew.]

all im seeing on the bbc sport website is "Rosberg sets blistering test pace" .. then below it "Hamilton sets blistering test pace"

this is going to be an exciting year i feel.

[Iceman]

Merc should be dominant in the first few races they'll need to be to be in with a chance... Red Bull will be strong towards Oct/Nov

[BBfanUSA]

I was watching NASCAR Sprint Cup Last Night, Juan Pablo Montoya was awfully close to winning his first stock car oval race. He was having a decent race and he took the lead by staying out with 50 laps to go. He was doing pretty well abd lead for a good amount and was on his way to Victory Lane until someone spun out and NASCAR had to fly the yellow with 5 laps to go. He had no choice but to pit or else the other drivers would run him over with newer tires. He restarted 6th and finish 4th under a Green White Checkered. (Basically NASCAR's attempt to finish the race under Green. Race is restarted with 2 laps left. If there's a accident on the final lap they'll call the race and refer to video and scoring to determine the final finishing order. They'll make 3 attempts to finish it like that. On the 3rd attempt if there's a yellow the race is over)

Sprint Cup is NASCAR's Top Series.

[Drew.]

Massa signs for Williams for 2014

Perez is leaving McLaren at the end of the season
