Ferrari vs the new F1 teams

by steviewevie, 13-01-2018, 07:33 AM

Looks like Ferrari aren't too keen on the new F1 teams (no big suprise, given they've been pretty rude about them before).

See their "Horse Whisperer" column on their official website here, excerpts below.

For those who haven't been following what's been going on, the "Serbian vultures" are the Stefan GP team, who haven't been granted a grid slot, but since they've already got a car (and have supposedly signed Jacques Villeneuve), are hoping to replace one of the already-struggling teams (e.g. Campos/US F1).

Quote:Of the thirteen teams who signed up, or were induced to sign up, for this year’s Championship, to date only eleven of them have heeded the call, turning up on track, some later than others, and while some have managed just a few hundred kilometres, others have done more, but at a much reduced pace. As for the twelfth team, Campos Meta, its shareholder and management structure has been transformed, according to rumours which have reached the Horse Whisperer through the paddock telegraph, with a sudden cash injection from a munificent white knight, well used to this sort of last minute rescue deal. However, the beneficiaries of this generosity might find the knight in question expects them to fulfil the role of loyal vassal. All this means, it is hard to imagine the Dallara designed car showing its face at the Catalunya Circuit, with Sakhir a more likely venue to witness the return of the Senna name to a Formula 1 session.

The thirteenth team, USF1, appears to have gone into hiding in Charlotte, North Carolina, to the dismay of those like the Argentinian, Lopez, who thought he had found his way into the Formula 1 paddock, (albeit with help from chairwoman Kirchner, according to the rumours) and now has to start all over again. Amazingly, they still have the impudence to claim that everything is hunky-dory under the starry stripy sky.

Next, we have the Serbian vultures. Firstly, they launched themselves into a quixotic legal battle with the FIA, then they picked the bones of Toyota on its death bed. Having got some people on board, around whom there was still a whiff of past scandals, they are now hovering around waiting to replace whoever is first to drop out of the game, possibly with backing from that very same knight in shining armour whom we mentioned earlier.

This is the legacy of the holy war waged by the former FIA president. The cause in question was to allow smaller teams to get into Formula 1. This is the outcome: two teams will limp into the start of the championship, a third is being pushed into the ring by an invisible hand – you can be sure it is not the hand of Adam Smith – and, as for the fourth, well, you would do better to call on Missing Persons to locate it. In the meantime, we have lost two constructors along the way, in the shape of BMW and Toyota, while at Renault, there’s not much left other than the name. Was it all worth it?

Press leak CT 200H

The World Car Fans crew have received what appears to be an official brochure for the Lexus CT 200h ahead of its reveal next week at the Geneva Motor Show, and while the documents are light on details, we've got our first good glimpse of the brand's Euro-bound hybrid hatch.

Hide PC

by parthiban, 12-01-2018, 09:56 AM

Following on from my can I stick my wireless router in a cupboard thread, I'm now thinking about moving my whole PC into the cupboard and running necessary cables through the wall/floor and use a faceplate for all the exterior connections (going to redecorate, hence these plans)

Just want to make sure I have everything covered so I don't find myself short a socket in the future, what should I have outside the cupboard to make sure I won't have problems?

I'm thinking I need HDMI (x2), possibly a composite, a few USBs and audio (RCA, optical and maybe 3.5mm in and out for a headset)

Is there anything else I should add?
