Desi poate prematur, ar trebui sa incepem sa discutam despre sezonul 2004. Deocamdata, schimbarile din regulament ar fi cam urmatoarele:
- Se va desfiinta sedinta de calificari de vineri. In locul ei, vom avea inca o sesiune de antrenamente.
- In calificarile de sambata se va porni in functie de clasamentul cursei anterioare si vom avea doua "flying laps" in loc de unul singur.
- Ca masuri de reducere a costurilor, producatorii de motoare vor trebui sa ofere versiunile pentru clienti (gen Ferrari pentru Sauber) la preturi mai mici, in jurul a 10 milioane USD/an; tot aici, va fi introdusa regula motorului unic: fiecare pilot al unei echipe va avea la dispozitie doar un motor/GP, folosirea unui motor suplimentar fiind penalizata cu 10 pozitii pe grila de start.
- Vor fi interzise telemetria pit2car, launch control-ul si cutia de viteze automata.
- Va fi disponibil un nou tip de pneuri: "extreme weather tyre".
Schimbarile par interesante si probabil nu se vor opri aici.
In urma sedintei de ieri a World Sport Council de la Paris, s-au aprobat urmatoarele schimbari pentru 2004 (F1-Live.com):
Race Weekend Schedule
Friday
11.00-12.00 Free practice
14.00-15.00 Free practice
During both sessions all teams, other than those who finished in the top four positions of the previous year’s World Championship for Constructors, will be permitted to run a third car provided any driver of this car:
- is not one of the team’s nominated drivers for the Event in question;
- is in possession of a Super Licence;
- has not taken place in more than six World Championship Events during the two previous World Championships.
If one of the team’s nominated drivers is deemed unable to drive at some stage after the end initial scrutineering, and the stewards agree to a change of driver, the driver of a third car may take part in the remainder of the Event. Under such circumstances a driver who started the Event as a “third” driver would have to continue with the same engine for the remainder of the Event.
The requirements of Article 60 concerning car livery will not apply to the third car being used during these two sessions but will apply should this car be used as the team’s spare car during the remainder of the event.
Saturday
10.00-10.45 Free practice
11.15-12.00 Free practice
14.00 Qualifying begins and will be run as follows:
- the session will be held in two parts separated by two minutes;
- during the first part each driver will carry out a single timed lap as now starting in the order they finished in the previous race. At the first race of the year the order of the last Event of the previous year’s World Championship will be used (in both cases any new drivers will be arranged in numerical order);
- any car stopping in the first part will not be allowed to take part in the second, if the car is brought back to the pits before the end of the session it must remain in parc fermé until the end of the session;
- refuelling rigs will be allowed in the first part subject to everyone wearing suitable clothing and photographers being restricted as for a race;
- the running order for the second part will be determined by the times achieved in the first part reversed;
- cars will run with race fuel and race settings as in 2003;
- in both sessions cars will be released as the previous one crosses the Line to start its flying lap;
- in both sessions the 6th, 11th and 16th cars in sequence will be released two minutes after the previous finishes its flying lap;
Sunday
14.00 Race (or at other times according to the relevant schedule).
40 dry-weather tyres per driver are allowed
Tyre use and allocation
The number of dry-weather tyres available to each driver during the Event will remain the same at forty, twenty front and twenty rear.
Each driver will be allocated three sets of dry-weather tyres for use on Friday, these may not be used at any other time during the Event. No tyres from the remaining seven sets may be used on Friday.
The choice of dry-weather tyre for qualifying and race must be made by 09.00 on Saturday (either specification of tyre may be used for the free practice sessions on Saturday). However, if both Friday sessions are declared wet this choice may be postponed until 13.00 on Saturday.
The number of wet-weather tyres available to each driver during the Event will remain the same at twenty-eight, fourteen front and fourteen rear.
Extreme weather tyres will continue to be permitted but, as now, may only be used when authorised.
Parc fermé procedures
To remain the same as in 2003 but the practice of fuel circulation for the purposes of cooling will now be prohibited.
Number of drivers per car
Each team will now be allowed to use four drivers during each season, not including any third driver running in the Friday sessions.
Pit lane speed limit
The speed limit for qualifying and race will be raised to 100km/h. In accordance with Article 100 (of the draft 2004 Sporting Regulations) the Permanent Bureau may be asked to consider a lower limit at tracks which have a particularly narrow pit lane.

Ma gandeam si eu ca or sa faca o fapta buna si or sa scoata Monaco... Circuitul ala sucks badly. 
Faza de kkt, Juan Pablo Montoya la Mc Laren in 2005. Inca o echipa care va fi distrusa de tigan. 
Poate conduce dreacu bine si David asta si-si pastreaza pozitia la Mercedes in ciuda eforturilor celor interesati de a o distruge.

niciodata n-o sa scoata monaco din calendar. e asa de greu de inteles de ce?
sper sa mai ia titlul si altii, ca de Schumi m-am plictisit
cutler: Dupa ce va lua 10 titluri, poate 
Monaco ar trebui sa ramana acolo, pentru ca este spectaculos din foarte multe puncte de vedere. Who gives a f*** about safety ?!
Monaco ar trebui sa ramana acolo, pentru ca este spectaculos din foarte multe puncte de vedere. Who gives a f*** about safety ?!
It's not only about safety... E mult prea monoton, cursa nu o sa prezinte interes atata vreme cat finish grid-ul se aseamana in proportie de cel putin 90% cu starting grid-ul... Omul vrea sa mai vada si depasiri intr-o cursa de F1, altfel se uita la calificari si ii e suficient.
pt moartea:cred ca mai ia un titlu, apoi se retrage in GLORIE.
amin
Ciudata masina mai au astia de la Williams in sezonul 2004. Oricum, Montoya putea sa plece de acum, dar ce mi-e mie cu suparare este ca strica frumusete de echipa Mc Laren, care trebuie sa recunosc ca-mi place datorita lui Mercedes si Kimi.

root?
monoton? Ala e singuru circuit in care pilotii mai si conduc, nu doar apasa pedalele. Acolo chiar is stresati fata de oricare alt traseu. In urma cu ani de zile am auzit ca acolo pierd cel mai mult din greutate.
E un traseu streant, interesant, decor fain, lume buna....nu inteleg ce te deranjaza la el.
@Azzido.. Am vazut zilele astea pe AB motors ca Montoya ar fi facut schimb de masina cu Jeff Gordon. Cica ar fi foarte dorit sa vina in F1. Stii ceva de asta?

Ok. Mi-ai dat sa citesc ce am vazut
Dar rezultatul? Se va materializa ceva? Ca eu sincer nu il vad pe Gordon sa isi lase faima din SUA cu Nascar pentru plimbari prin lume si in cativa ani sa devina Schumacher 2 (ceea ce nu e o certitudine)

event = adica friday+saturday+sunday , nu ?
The speed limit for qualifying and race will be raised to 100km/h. In accordance with Article 100 (of the draft 2004 Sporting Regulations) the Permanent Bureau may be asked to consider a lower limit at tracks which have a particularly narrow pit lane.
Asta mi se pare ca e o inbunatatire, adica nu mai asteptam atata dupa ei !

A doua lansare a anului: Sauber C23. Piloti: Giancarlo Fissichella si Felipe Massa. Test driver: Neel Jani.
Aficionados of F1, our time is back!
Mai sunt 3 saptamani fara o zi, pana pe 7 Martie, de fapt 6 Martie cand vor fi calificarile in noua forma, pana la primul mare premiu din anul acesta, cel de la Melbourne.
S-au intamplat o gramada de lucruri de la terminarea sezonului, multe au fost scrise si aici, altele...... de exemplu s-a aflat de ce s-a bucurat Frank Williams sa-l lase pe Juan sa-si ia bocceluta, pentru ca era nervos, inconsistent (dupa marele premiu al Frantei si-a concediat tot staff-ul tefnic pe motiv ca i s-a parut ca l-au chemat la boxe pe Ralph intai, in ideea de a-l favoriza)...Renault se pare ca are o masina foarte performanta....Williams nu se stie exact ce poate....Mc Laren pare intr-o lipsa de forma dupa ce la lansarea monopostul evea cockpit-ul prea mic pentru talia pilotilor echipei, apoi au aparut probleme in ceea ce priveste performanta.
Ferrari ca intodeaua are pachetul ideal, om-masina, si va castiga, no news aici dar oricum, merita sa te uiti la ceilalti cum iau bataie...
Force is strong with us!!!

Ferari - o masina superba, dar care nu a trecut de rivale in teste.
Renault - surpriza - cea mai dichisita masina si cu timpi constant f buni
Williams - se pare ca o sa aiba un start mai bun decat anul trecut
McLaren - timpi buni in ianuarie si mai putin buni in februarie; sunt banuiti ca alearga cu rezervorul plin ochi sau deja testeaza componente pentru versiunea B a monopostului anuntata ptr mijlocul sezonului
Bar - timpi buni in ultimile teste, dar multe probleme tehnice.
Montoya - cel mai mediatizat in momentul de fata; pare mai motivat decat Ralph; plecarea la McLaren nu este batuta in cuie. Frank a acceptat oferta de 25 mil euro, dar Patrick Head, care are 50% ceva de spus, refuza inca.

Mie imi place foarte mult cum a evoluat Renault....poate sezonul acesta vor castiga mai multe curse! 
Se poate. Piloti buni si echipa tehnica au.
Aerodinamica si motorul au evoluat. Acum ramane de vazut cat de mult au evoluat si ceilalti.

si mie imi place Renault ca autoturism, dar ca masina de formula1 mai au mult de muncit. anul asta trebuie sa vina cu un motor nou dupa ce motorul de anul trecut si-a atins prematur limitele. de asemenea si caroseria va trebui refacuta pt. noul motor. recunosc ca au venit tot timpul cu idei si tehnologii noi, dar formula1 se castiga cu fiabilitate si viteza.
oricum s-au apropiat de Ferrari si BMW.
sunt curios cum merge noul BMW (cu botul ala ciudat) si ce a mai adus nou Ferrari (sau daca va aduce ceva nou).
