lol gav, have you seen this week autosport?, it seems they dedicated it to you. lol
and mortal:, is there any way to add the links to the pages on top of the threads as well... i think is easier sometimes to change pages on top after reading first post of the page as we know where we are, instead of goging to the bottom all the time...

Heard of a lecturer still involved in aerodynamic consultancy. I guess simple validation/mapping runs. I cant imagine completing alot of work in a single day.
But yeah, point still stands. Branson is a fool if he thinks he can sustain this team on a shoe-string. I hope more investors get involved but I cant imagine a 1 second gap to Lotus will help things. HRT will be eyeing them up too, and already with the Williams invisible gearbox (adn i guess rear end?) they will have some addvantage. Technically the team seems great, at least as good as Lotus and deserve some more money to play with, and comparable hydraulics!
There was a render floating about of the Williams in normal light, looked nicer!! cant wait to see what it's like on track :D!
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

Wait. Is Kubica's racing career actually over, as it says on that Autosport? I sincerely hope not

That's interesting, when Nick Wirth was asked if it had on the launch day he said no. He did accidentally state that it had used a wind tunnel in a speech shortly before when he meant virtual wind tunnel and quickly corrected himself in a statement afterwards.

Nah, it's just a tabloid-style sensationalist headline to get you to buy the magazine.
It's just him saying "If it's at all possible, I will race again". It's a statement of determination that Autosport have twisted to make it sound more negative.
I doubt either the surgeons and physiotherapists or Kubica himself will know for sure whether or not he will be able to drive an F1 car again in anger. Given that he's only just getting sensation back in his right hand and movement is still very primitive, I'd imagine it's too early to know exactly how well the hand will recover.
So far though, I've read of no negative signs from anyone involved. Everything has been positive - the speed of his recovery, the speed with which he's out of intensive care and the lack of infection so far (when the risk was at its greatest). Everything has been positive.

I missed the Williams launch and I'm very confused. What's all this fuss about the chef?

He's a famous chef. He will wear Williams F1 logo'd aprons and serve the team food at each GP weekend. Job done!
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

I thought even the VR-01 had a single day. I suppose when they say 100% designed, then they are not wrong. They are just performing validation runs. Though it was a secondary source (i guess thats the right term!), he heard through someone else.
edit - the chef? was this done through flotation?
GPG should invest :p
edit 2 - this was on atlasf1 in the williams thread, no source given though.
"We have a new diffuser, new front wing, new brake ducts, new bargeboards and new bodywork," said Michael. "The only thing that is not changing at the moment is the rear wing."
I suppose the other teams will have similar updates but it sounds even better from williams :p! i really really hope the car is as good as we think! I hate the idea of drivers developing cars, Istill dont believe a driver can make a difference, at least not these days without tailored made bridgestone. But if the Williams is quick then how much credit will be due for Rubens?
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

most likely ultra excessive sensory monitoring...
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it
Pretty sure its to measure how much load is on the wing.
