It was fairly common up to the mid/late eighties for some teams to run with exposed engines. Assuming that it was probably to do with the turbo regs at the time not allowing an air intake above the drivers head to feed the trumpets, so running with no engine cover improved the availability of air. 1988 - Ligier  1988 - Rial .jpeg) 1987 - Leyton House March  1984 - Toleman

That Leyton House looks morbid! Worth noting, all those cars from '87-'88 were backmarkers. The '88 Ligier was a disaster. |

I quite like the look of the Leyton House. But I'm weird. |

I think they're all great looking. And by today's standards they are all masterpieces. |

Back to 2012... From WSR's Press Officer: Quote: Speaking on TV3 CatRadio i Domenicali does not guarantee that Massa will finish the season.

If Massa has to go then so does Domenicalli. |

Domenicalli isn't any better than Fiorio was at the time. |

I thought it was a new F1 chassis designed by Franco Talentino. viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1733&hilit=eurobrun I think you meant the first Dallara in 1988 and eventually they brought out the new F1 chassis after the Brazilian Grand Prix. viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1732&hilit=dallara |

Well the current consensus is that Perez will get Massas seat before the end of the year. But lets assume he doesn't, who else is there for that car? Fisichella is driving for AF Corse, and has already been given a shot at the seat before. Marc Gene won't be getting it either. Davide Rigon is Ferraris 3rd test/reserve driver, but he's had a year out of racing after his injuries last year, and with no experience they wouldn't put him in the car. Jaime Alguersuari is currently unemployed, with no drive at all. |

I can see Ferrari going for Jaime mid-season as a bandaid, and then get Perez at the end of the season. |

Let's make a poll: when will Massa be fired? And serious question: what is the situation in Bahrain? How big is the chance that the race will go on? |
