Not personally, no ![]() ![]() By the way, I have bought a Best Wishes card that I will drop in to Marussia on my way through town this weekend. If it's okay with everyone I will send it with 'Best wishes from the TBK Light motorsport community'. |

Great news ![]() An answer to IanS: 'Driver throttle position just affects a lookup into a torque map on the ECU'. |

So is that a yes to fly-by-wire? or is there an actual cable involved? |

Back in the mid-90's Mika Salo once retired because throttle cable snapped, he's said in Finnish F1 tv coverage that it's something that can not happen anymore. I hope MaTT can confirm this also. |

good news, although I think it might not be much more than yesterday's story Quote: F1: De Villota No Longer In Intensive Care - Sister
Maria de Villota has moved out of the intensive care unit at a Cambridge (UK) hospital. Marussia boss John Booth said on Sunday that the team's test driver is no longer in an artificial coma and has therefore been able to speak with her family, including her father and former F1 driver Emilio de Villota. "Her level of sedation has been reduced markedly," he told the Spanish broadcaster Antena3. De Villota's sister Isabel is quoted by the Spanish media as saying the 32-year-old has "made good progress in the last hours" and has "left the ICU unit". But she warned: "The coming days will be crucial for her recovery and to determine the extent of the consequences (of her injuries)." |

In the eight days since her accident, we are very happy to report that Maria is making remarkable progress - 11 July It is now eight days since Maria De Villota’s accident at Duxford Airfield in her debut test for the Team. Despite severe injuries, Maria’s recovery during that time has been remarkable. Following two successful surgical procedures in the days following the accident, last Saturday the medical team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital began to gradually reduce the level of Maria’s sedation. By Sunday morning, Maria was awake and able to speak to her family, which provided a very important - albeit early - indication that there were positive signs for Maria’s recovery. Since that time, Maria has been making small but significant steps. She was moved out of the Neurological Critical Care Unit on Monday and is no longer receiving sedation. Her family remain by her side and she is communicating freely with them and the medical team. Medical assessments are ongoing to monitor Maria’s improving condition. We have provided this update with the consent and support of the De Villota family who, whilst keen to ensure Maria’s care remains the priority, are understanding and appreciative of the concern for her wellbeing. |

The team confirmed (yesterday I think) that they had ruled out any failure on the car being a contributing factor to the accident. That means that everyone now assumes Manor / Booth's team are blaming Maria, but all they are reporting is the findings of their own internal investigation on the car itself. Nothing more, nothing less. External investigations by health and safety, etc... on the site and the surroundings directly involved in the incident are still being conducted. And besides, I would imagine that Booth would have put the press release in front of Maria's family first, for validation and approval before making it public. |

"It is as yet uncertain whether she will return to racing. Governing body the FIA will not grant racing licences for any international-level series for at least five years after a driver loses an eye. This is because it takes at least that time for the brain to adapt to monocular vision. Experts assess applicants on a case-by-case basis. For national-level racing, requirements differ from country-to-country. Even if a national sporting authority has no specific guideline, applicants with only one eye tend to be dealt with also on a case-by-case basis." I learnt something new.

MSA doesn't allow it, so she'd never have a British license. IMSA does allow it, which is why Paul Drayson races under an American license at Le Mans. |

Quote: A Spanish publication has spotted a walking and apparently well Maria de Villota entering an outpatient clinic in Spain this week.
After 17 days in a UK hospital, and several more days in hospital in her native Madrid, the 32-year-old finally went home last week. La Nueva Espana now reports that, almost a full month since her horror Duxford testing crash, de Villota was seen visiting the Instituto Oftalmologico Fernandez-Vega - an eye specialist clinic - in Oviedo, Spain. The report said she arrived in a black Mercedes with members of her family, with her hair shaved after several recent operations. La Nueva Espana said wounds were clearly visible, as was a blue eye patch. The report said video and photographs of de Villota leaving the car and entering the clinic were taken, but they are not being published "at the request of the family" |

The press and communication has been incredibly respectful around this accident, I'm impressed. |
