The new regulations have come forward with some advantages, but some disadvantages deeply stark It was great to see the drivers enjoying the grip and the feel of pushing every lap, but horribly discouraging cars fight in dirty once they reached five seconds in the 2 cars in front of them new, wider, harder tire compounds witnesses cars to the limit in every corner of every lap, but it meant the race was limited to a cap, if the strategy was indistinguishable whole field Fernando Alonso said the pilots had to be incredibly strong in their responses to the tank or slide slappers you half a tenth of a second to react last year, you had four seconds in the corner, you can have a coffee in these cars.
While the chassis narrow gauge of last year combined with fragile Pirelli compounds proved monotonous and frustrating for the drivers, at least the spectators were treated to close the race with possibility of passes but adjacent corner speeds to Formula 2 the cars have not only seen dramatic increases in the corner speeds, but also significantly reduces braking distances, steering approaches much more aggressive, a new application earlier engine answers on corner exits, the acceleration grew out of the braking zones and strongly increased drag levels.
So what is the solution, it would be obvious to return to last year slower regulations, which was rejected by fans, drivers and staff as well as the mouse as regressive and mickey However, a number of options for 2018 should be considered and these include.
An increased capacity power unit, with a switch or 2 0L- 2 4L V6 turbo V8 hybrid 3 or 4 0L 5L V10 internal combustion engines with natural aspiration, although the latter option was considered invalid by the President FIA Jean Todt.
Elimination of multiple elements on the front wings, with a rule requiring that only two elements separated with a single gap gap that separates It is highly recommended because it is a likely solution to the question of turbulence greatly increased the cars been suffering in the 2017 specifications.
A narrowing of the chassis 2 meters to 1 8 meters in order to reduce drag and strength of the wing size to be reduced by 10.
Some fans complained very durable tire compounds reducing the number of pit stops in Australia in one Grand Prix this year, but for Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg have confidence in their tires to support the move offline to exceed Fernando Alonso last difficulty without the worries of the year regular-flattening was very promising.
However, it is also a technical change that can adversely affect the balance of the car Of course, some might argue that the view of drivers lose the rear end of the car may occur more often, as seen by Jolyon Palmer s and Daniel Ricciardo crashed last weekend pilot However, others have argued will eventually become familiar with the handling and the limits within which they can extend the limits of their machines with this in mind, it is highly probable need for pilots to tackle maximum will see the margins between the top drivers and simple common extend much wider compared to last year, the time differences between Haas Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen, Renault and Hulkenberg Jolyon Palmer Williams Felipe Massa and rookie Lance Stroll is proof of how much talent and experience will count this year is some something that will be welcomed by some fans, who chided the cars of the past five years, slightly better than swollen GP2 cars.
The view of at least a dozen items on the front wings were some fans who criticized the technical aspect of the sport has become prominent former F1 supremos esoteric such as Flavio Briatore were openly scathing in their criticism of these questions, clearly indicating that sport should prioritize entertainment for viewers on what he saw as a complacent pet project for engineers lost downforce by deleting items and narrowing of cars and wings could be offset by the return of ground effects, but with a standard FIA ground venturi shaped that each team must hold below their chassis.
Friday practice saw Mercedes domination, which many considered sad harbinger of what may follow this season non-Mercedes fans worst fears of a fourth consecutive seasons appeared real depressing, but on Saturday showed the characteristics of a Ferrari challenge Although Lewis Hamilton grabbed the 62nd pole position in its attempt 189th Sebastian Vettel hoisted his red Ferrari in 0268 seconds Mercedes It turned out to be a miracle was run qualification under mild conditions, with a pinch rain appearing in the first minutes of Q3, which had threatened to kill the competition for pole ten minutes earlier.
On Sunday, Daniel Ricciardo break grimly in front of his audience on a tour of heating, thanks to an electronic sensor locking transmission in sixth, he had the chance to rescue crew extricated his stricken Red Bull and returned to stands, but when he rekindles his Renault power unit, his car had already been surpassed twice Toro Rosso stablemate Daniil Kvyat face the threat of extraordinary third consecutive DNS as-many-events in Melbourne because of a extinguisher emptying, but his mechanics have saved him quickly bacon Nico Hulkenberg parking shamefully his Renault two inches ahead of its location demarcated grid, applying a second formation lap, which may have some frayed nerves anticipatory the start of the race was clean, but the collision between Magnussen and Marcus Ericsson at turn 3 is the result of clipping Dane s right is the rear tire on the pavement, causing a sudden swatter tank that left him nowhere to go but crush surprise Sauber driver.
The race for the head was a case of cat and mouse between Hamilton and Vettel Taking the example of the book of the strategy in 2016, the Briton pitted early on lap 17, as Mercedes tacticians naively believed the undercut against operate as the last year, despite Hamilton having 30 tread remaining on his first pass of compounds with clean air by mowing, Vettel duly capitalized, while Hamilton emerged behind seduced Max Verstappen, who made his catch Red Bull as wide as possible for five laps before the Briton inevitably DRS last speed used Unfortunately for Mercedes, Vettel pulled enough of a margin so that when he cleared a confused Lance Stroll and pitted, he had a fairly comfortable margin that n has never renounced Hamilton would spend the rest of the race complaining of dirty, something his Mercedes car owners of previously years thy proved definitely inferior in terms of dealing with respect to the opposition, but rarely imported because of its absolute domination Wi th Ferrari improvements have been closely linked to the new regulations, it is a matter that will provide many headaches in Brackley during breaks between races.
Valtteri Bottas has fallen gradually in arrears in the initial pass, but his second stint proved more productive, where he eventually finished within 1 5 seconds behind his teammate illustrates Kimi Raikkonen, unfortunately, seemed to flounder as the race progressed, fifteen race laps the end of its arc-nemesis of last year, Max Verstappen, grimly closed, but could even try not to facilitate the review of embattled exceed the Finn due to excessive turbulence to follow the wake Ferrari P4 rejuvenated the Iceman s package is a good start, but already critics condemned her performance, clapping as insults at half-arsed, lazy and others that have become far too often for the 2007 world champion.
A non-retirement Felipe Massa drove like he'd never retired, as he brought a 8 key points Motivation will be the key for 35 years in Brazil, like Williams can not be sure that his teammate dilettantism Lance Stroll is able to score points judge whether by its underwhelming first grand Prix Running 13 ultimately the young french Canadian parked his car in the pits with faulty brakes, but if it was a real mechanical gremlin or because of his lack of experience with the handling of carbon brake discs F1 remains to be seen.
Despite a new VJM10 chassis overweight, where Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon drivers were forced to lose weight before the race, they finished 10th 7th respectively, proving the Silverstone team has not fallen on the remarkable results last year's Toro Rosso debuted their STR11s with drivers Carlos Sainz Daniil Kvyat finishing eighth ninth, but both questioned the handling and balance of their brand chassis throughout the weekend, some adjustments could be coming.
Figurante Antonio Giovinazzi led an impressive debut Grand Prix, admitting that he had the pace to spare after completing P12 due to lack of experience with sustainable this year Pirelli compounds Hulkenberg tried to pass Ocon in the closing laps, but proved a pilot umpteenth time not impressed with dirty air produced in the wake of another competitor Vandoorne finished P13 and last, clearly unable to adapt to his terrible packet MCL32 like his driving style much smoother could not correct the understeer tendencies teammate Alonso celebrates illustrates fought with tremendous success thanks to a first round the infamous aggressive Spaniard ran an impressive P10 before the debris caught in his car floor to let him like a duck sitting for advances Ocon Hulkenberg resulting broken floor would force a retreat of no surprise Alonso, who did not hide his frustration at the apparent regression McLaren Honda in the development Ove r the winter.
The incident between Turn 3 Magnussen Ericsson would see the Danes retire 11 laps from the end with damage to suspension, while the Swedes would soldier with hydraulic damaged in the incident, which failed after 21 laps Daniel Ricciardo would remove his car after 25 laps, thank you to a fuel pressure problem unrelated to the failure of the electronic sensor before the race or its accident in qualifying the day before.
Jolyon Palmer, who had the weekend from hell, retired with a brake system by wire not save electronics and hydraulics his car and well after 15 qualifying Grosjean Star towers saw a water leak end his day with only 13 laps, beginning at 6, an all-time best for Haas.

McLaren from 1988-1990, won 31 races, 42 poles 23 fastest laps of 48 Grands Prix Hors 3.122 laps, they conducted in 2376 among them 76 1 In qualifying the two first MP4-4 MP4 plan Car -5 blew their rivals away, able to defeat the quickest car McLaren not up to three seconds between master hands Ayrton Senna a turn If the relationship between Prost and Senna hadn t been so tough and reliability was does not a widespread issue, it is possible that the statistics in this period would beat or even what Mercedes have achieved.
In terms of what Mercedes have achieved compared to rival teams in the modern era, it is similar to the amazing dominance achieved by individual drivers such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel is unlikely we will never see such supremacy of a team of such a totalitarian scale, which should be a welcome sigh of relief for the fans.
Of course, the 10 0 mark was not granted for their car third year of overwhelming superiority, but also the direction of the team Despite the controversy in Spain, Austria Canada, relations remained stable between their star drivers allowing them to seal the WCC at Suzuka with four races to spare.

After the debacle of last year, which led to their badging Red Bull Renault engines after their new sponsor in 2016 showed a huge leap forward in 2017 should provide an opportunity allowed to return to the front, with Ricciardo and Verstappen hogging the headlines is expected Designer Adrian Newey star will pen a chassis to exploit aggressively and regulations have increased downforce tires to the absolute maximum, while Renault provides a power unit with enough grunt.
3 4 Strength India-Mercedes, 173 7 points- Sergio Perez, 101 points Nico Hulkenberg 9, 72 items 8. 5
The gradual rise of the team based at Silverstone by the hierarchy of F1 has been well rewarded by their best-ever WCC 4 It is unlikely that such a result will be reached in 2017, but credit where credit is the designers have exploited the regulations are for drag reduction and speed in a straight line, allowing the chassis to turn faster with the power unit Mercedes invaluablely hefty One might wonder that in the hands the best drivers namely Alonso, Hamilton Verstappen, the VJM09 Ferrari would have pushed for 3rd Faithful Loyal WCC Hulkenberg will leave for Renault, so for 2017, the promising talent Esteban Ocon takes its place.
Four-Toro Rosso Ferrari 7, 63 points- Carlos Sainz 12, 46 pts Daniil Kvyat 14, 25 pts Max Verstappen 5, 204 8 0 pts.
A second season of progress for Faenza boys was awarded another 7 WCC If Verstappen had remained in the team for the entire season, they could catch McLaren for 6, but their power unit Ferrari 2015 -spec proved their Achille talon is scheduled for Toro Rosso to move into 2017 with excellent Carlos Sainz challenge their spearhead.
June 5 McLaren-Honda, 76 points- Fernando Alonso 10, 54 pts 15 Jenson Button 21 pts Vandoorne 20, pt 1 7 5.
A steady, if unspectacular, the second season of the famous McLaren-Honda partnership together The car was still suffering from some degree of understeer and unity of disappointing Honda power in its overall production, but reliability was a blow to welcome boost Alonso did his usual job miracle, while waded button, scoring only five points higher than last year in its place for 2017 will Vandoorne, who lit the paddock with illuminating critics with its stunning performance to its only outlet in Bahrain, while substitute Alonso the Spaniard will not feel too comfortable, though, as the memories of a special rookie tearing his tattered reputation will see its tenth anniversary.
August 6 Haas-Ferrari, 29 points- Romain Grosjean 13, 29 pts Esteban Gutierrez 21 o 7 0 pts.
In their first two races, new US team became the first team since Toyota in their debut consecutive Great Price to score points is what Grosjean finished in Melbourne P6, P5 and in Bahrain with excellent pit calls Like season progressed, though, Haas ran through the typical stumbling blocks each new meeting of the team in their first obstacles the unforgiving environment of F1 Lack configurations experience and the narrow operating window the Pirellis and questionable comments from their exacerbated drivers their acute struggles in some breeds, with Mexico being their lowest point with P19 P20 Gutierrez finished P11 five times and did well to beat his french team mate in mid -season, but he never seemed to have the spark to produce a vital point in 2017 reached its place will be Kevin Magnussen, who will hope Amelio rer his lackluster 2016.
7 5th Williams-Mercedes, 138 points- Valtteri Bottas 8, 85 pts Felipe Massa 11, 53 June 5 pts.
After two years of enjoying the fruits of a remarkable revival with two consecutive 3rds in the WCC, my prediction of a third consecutive P3 was pathetically bad strategic errors remained widespread, which were aggravated by the lack of development and critics slamming their low drag design philosophy low downforce as dimensional Lance Stroll will be a welcome addition with exorbitant fund billionaire tycoon by his father, but with the retirement shock Nico Rosberg, the second seat is will major conundrum Bottas go to Mercedes if he does, Felipe Massa will postpone his retirement for a season.

Do they have the race in 2016, he was a poor return to F1 for the double winner of the WCC French brand, which emphasized using a revised 2015 Lotus chassis as challenger this season, it is understandable that, because Lotus cash flow problems has suffered, as well as time constraints redemption late, the car was hastily, but development does not produce the desired improvements Cyril Abitedoul announced its intention to sign a driver charismatic, it remains to see if Nico Hulkenberg can live up to a high position.
September 11 Manor Mercedes, 1 point Pascal Wehrlein 19th, 1 pt Esteban Ocon 23 0 pts 24 pts Rio Haryanto 0 5 0.
A decent season for the team based in Banbury Despite a car that lacked downforce, it exceeded the upper leaves regularly speed through inspiration from technical partners Williams, who come from their suspension and transmission Wehrlein impressed in some areas while Haryanto sustained Pertamina lost momentum when the dollars dried up, as his running performance was bad under par Ocon has its place, producing a great drive in Brazil before he spun to the point that he lost P10 proven academic Felipe Nasr Sauber scored two essential points to P9, pushing the Hinwil team in 10 WCC So that left languishing in Manor 11 for the second consecutive year as ever with latecomers, their flying range announced at the last minute before many tests planned next year.
10-Sauber Ferrari 10, 2 points- Felipe Nasr 17 2 pts 22 pts Marcus Ericsson o 4 0.
In a season mounting financial pressures, more burdened by poor pay two drivers and a bland corporate image, it was a miracle Sauber escaped the wooden spoon in the WCC and this list to be frankly honest, Monisha Kaltenborn has a clear somewhere lucky the car was decent competitor rehash of last year, so it was necessarily predictable poverty this season was going to be all year, the Hinwil team seemed destined to see a finished 11 to darken their concerns about the long-term existence of Sauber, but the heavens opened at Interlagos and the rest is history Marcus Ericsson is confirmed in one of their seats for 2017, but it remains to be seen whether the Nasr funding to continue.
The next article will focus on this year Reject the team to miss Don t he year.
Astute conduct of Tyro up Spain capitalized on his pit strategy superbly, although he was undoubtedly a recipient caused by VSC Max Verstappen He lost P5 Fernando Alonso on the last lap, but his compatriot necessary runoff runway extended to beat Sainz.
Beat teammate Nasr four seats and outpaced McLaren-Honda.
Yeah Vettel is the message for Charlie F Koff Koff Honestly F.
Seb, I know you have had a miserable season, but you let the pressure get the best of you swerve desperately in the way of reproducing Ricciardo- ironically one of doubtful weaving braking maneuvers Verstappen furiously while excoriating the young Dutchman on his Radio was literally unfathomable ridiculous and hypocritical and shameful a world champion four times.
Weaving ban braking would still cause tension between drivers and he proved with the distribution of Max Verstappen driving penalties flirted with excess sometimes, but to apply explicit sanctions for such maneuvers harm new F1 fans Verstappen Sainz Kvyat received penalties following the race five seconds added to their race Vettel received ten second penalty and two license points to add to the discomfort, but it was well deserved instead of racing events.
A superb return after being operated around the turn 1 on the first lap of Sebastian Vettel, having fallen to 21 and it may have been lucky with regard to the failure of the engine Lewis Hamilton, who extended his championship lead to 23 points, but his tenacious overruns were a sight to see his last pass of the race Kimi Raikkonen was impressive in its execution, which was welcomed by the tumultuous approval of the stewards spectators strangely decided punished ten seconds added to his race time, but was rendered academic by the final margin of 13 seconds from the German on the Finns it was a performance of a world champion more likely.
Someone did not want me to win this year, but I like to.
We have so many engines, but mine are the only ones not need someone to give me some answers.
A plethora of conspiracy theorists returned when the Briton seemed to insinuate sabotage charges in his Mercedes Hamilton team still plays once the card of the victim in the vein of his idol Ayrton Senna, leaving neutral tones disrupted the result of the race leaves the Briton asking him to win all five Grands Prix to win the WDC as a minimum requirement, unless misfortune for his teammate soured.
Red Bull got their first since 2013 1-2 Brazilian Grand Prix, with an exciting showdown in turns 5-8 in round 39, but the safety car called virtual lap 41 due to engine Hamilton has denotation saw team orders apply a processional finish Daniel Ricciardo took a deserved first victory since 2014, while Max Verstappen was content with a strong display Kimi Raikkonen made an average race with P4, while Valtteri Bottas has joy of his team at Williams bay, finishing P5 P11 after the start Sergio Perez team toppled again -mate Nico Hulkenberg, such as India force reaches P6 and P8, which consolidated P4 in the constructors and stretched their lead over Williams by McLaren three issues highlighted again their progress dip, with Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button and Button P7 obtaining P9 s qualifying round 1 34,518 was a pe period of seven seconds faster than his amazing 2015 qualifying round in Sepang 1 41,636 Alonso started P22 with a 45 pla blatant penalty EC grid but burst chaos in turn one to rise to P12 when Virtual car safety has been applied on lap 1 Jolyon Palmer finally scored his first point in F1, who atoned for his dismal round in Hungary, where he was being P10 performing well, the lack of power Ferrari engines 2015-spec proved a major annoyance for Toro Rosso, whose drivers Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat coasted home in P11 and P14 Marcus Ericsson led a race made up P12 for Sauber, Felipe Massa suffered an infernal race, where his car lever of gas temporarily failed on parade laps and his race was littered with punctures and various diseases, P13 finish the manors of Pascal Wehrlein and Esteban Ocon was a die fougueus es throughout the race, P15 and P16 finish the last small Haas finishers had a disastrous day with the brakes of Romain Grosjean on lap 8 being P10 operation and Esteban Gutierrez forced to park after inadequately secured wheel broke away on tour 40 Sebastian Vettel was eliminated with his sudden overzealous movement Verstappen in turn 1, where contact with Rosberg stuck his left front wheel askewed the stewards punished the former German with a penalty three grid retrospectively for the Japanese the next weekend 29 years great Kevin Magnussen Felipe Nasr Price and the others retired, loss of power and brake failures respectively.

In a weekend full of problems with problems of pace and reliability, the road to the German P22 to P5 a solid testament to his fighting spirit would be easy for the champion four times to lose his marbles to the state business of the Scuderia, but Vettel continues to preach belief and positive in his statements to the media.
A candidate dignified conductor day itself this weekend, Rosberg has decimated his teammate Lewis Hamilton in a manner rarely seen throughout their partnership last four years in the final stages, Rosberg may have slipped at the sight of runaway Daniel Ricciardo threat in its mirrors in previous seasons, but the German firm held once seen as a nearly man of F1, Rosberg has turned his critical opinions and perhaps 2016 could finally be his coronation.
Honey Badger continues its recovery form this time since mid-July, completely beaten Tyro teammate Max Verstappen forcefully economic use of supersofts underline his influence, consolidate his credentials for a potential championship challenge in 2017. In the last towers, Ricciardo sliced the deficit to Rosberg quickly, but probably if the race had lasted one lap, the Australian could toast his first win of the season with a shoey Ricciardo also received the best lap of the race, his third of the season.
The Briton had a strange weekend completely overshadowed by Rosberg in the middle of sabotage rumors on social media, the Hamilton race worsened when Kimi Raikkonen swooped and deftly pursued on lap 32 to let the red faces in the garage Mercedes decision Ferrari perplexing to spend softwares Kimi opportunity ultrasofts finally saved the bacon of Hamilton, but the momentum is now firmly swung in favor of Rosberg.
Another case that if the Iceman was a gold patience as surely an average driver would lose his frustration mounting Maranello squad Weak A great player who deserved much more, especially when you consider how Kimi Vettel exceeded in all three practice sessions.
The Spaniard polarizing continues its rebirth in 2016, Alonso fully exploited the precise characteristics of the McLaren chassis to another term strong points, which makes its soft compound in his final stint last 27 laps Ferrari Why didn t follow this tactic with decision Raikkonen is a total mystery.
After his petulant display in Saturday qualifying, where he repeatedly blocked cars and failed to slow for yellow flags, Perez used the first safety car lap to pass Softs at its second series softs on his last stint last a mammoth 42 laps the Mexican market value is booming again.
In 2016, when the Russian motivation difficult questioned, it was the spirited performance, he was desperate to prove his doubters wrong after his Exceed and defense against its trading partner Max Verstappen had the characteristics of intense rivalry, but also the challenge of Kvyat against his employers fussy If Dany is to stay in F1 for 2017, it is almost certain to be unaffiliated with Red Bull outfit, so it was vital for Russia to sell with an exhilarating display.
2016 has been a continuous series of disappointing results of the team based in Enstone, it was vital Magnussen picked up the first points of the team from Russia a scintillating start monitoring its consistent stints on supersofts is a welcome change in the Dane without recent luster performance.
The Dutch LOCATE clutch problems as the source of his pathetic start, but it was inexcusable how he blocked Carlos Sainz, causing a rapid Nico Hulkenberg approach to hitting Toro Rosso Spanish and end the race of the German the rest of Great Price Verstappen saw humiliated in a fascinating tussle with Kvyat, whose fierce defense served a taste of the young bratty own medical Finish the race 70 seconds behind the soaring teammate Ricciardo and fighting strongly with tire degradation, Max late fees did little to disguise his poor day.
The retirement announcement of Felipe Massa and Jenson Button demotion to reserve driver at McLaren sent shock waves through the sport at the Italian Grand Prix this year, it was universally accepted everyone was happy see Stoffel Vandoorne finally given a tour full-time McLaren, but the talent lost to Button midfield teams who need an experienced driver to fill a void decision to Ron Dennis and associates to rearrange their line driver for 2017 was the end and ensure Vandoorne finally gets his chance, Button is kept on board to please sponsors as a British trade representative McLaren, while if Fernando Alonso decides to withdraw the earlier than anticipated F1, Button is a reliable substitute and competent.
Here is my view of the future of the current holders of the sport.
huge interest in circulation but no concrete decision yet.
Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez refuses to refute rumors linking to other teams Hulkenberg has a contact that links to Force India until the end of 2017, but has made no secret of his desire to land the seat Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari when the Finn's current contract ends Perez is linked to Williams, which would be a lateral move, and Renault, where huge investments into their cars in 2017 can give immediate rewards the team have made no secret their desire to keep both drivers for the foreseeable future, so therefore did not speak replacements.
Both G of the only American F1 teams are very much part of the rumor mill of the silly season He was convicted on the ability of Romain Grosjean to play the role of team leader, which upset Gene Haas and Grosjean Reports link back to Lotus Renault appointed when he drove for them Esteban Gutierrez continues to polarize pontiffs on its capacity; he overtook Grosjean recently, but is unable to get rid of his talent not to complete the reports of 11 capable of the poor comments circulated, so maybe the clock is ticking in effect on the career cordial Mexican If Gutierrez does remains in F1, although it will mostly likely to be a second season with Haas prospective GP3 champion Charles LeClerc has emerged as a candidate for a seat in Haas, with Alexander Rossi.
