India is probably done for good.

As for replacing Russia, there is a perfectly good track across the Black Sea in Istanbul Turkey.

Turkey has had its chance. Leave it be now.

And the whoring out of F1 continues.

Remember kals, I still have that prediction of the Russian GP lasting 0h0m0s in your F1 game

New chassis for Vettel, Daniel only gets it at Silverstone.

So the guy who's been the quickest doesn't get the new chassis until Silverstone? That's nice.

Because it impossibru that Ricciardo is faster than Vettel (according to RBR not according to me).

It's front wing-gate all over again.

Toto Wolff has engaged troll mode, telling Autosport that he considers Ferrari to be Mercedes' main rival this season. Bazinga, Mr Horner.

Vettel might be quicker, even when they both have the chassis, but you'd think they'd give it to the driver who deserves it more right now.

Oh well, Ferrari wouldn't do it any differently lol.

History? Hosting F1 has nothing to do with history expect in the minds of delusional european fans who still live in days of glory past.

Also, for a country to rely on its history to get special treatment is lazy and dumb. Rules are the same for everyone, F1 has changed, countries that can't adapt lose their GP.

I like how everybody just made up stuff to fill the gaps which Red Bull already explained.

Chassis are replaced routinely throughout the year. Unless there is an accident which destroys a tub, the team generally has a schedule of when these will be done. A replacement chassis is not necessarily an upgrade - but an identical spec one to which he had before, but newer, so less wear and tear. Red Bull talked about the plan to upgrade the chassis and when months ago, and did so again last week, and again here after everyone had a bitch-fest.

The plan from before the season even begun was one replacement for Vettel at Barcelona (first race of European season) and one for Dan at Silverstone.

It's just a routine chassis change. It's been planned for months. Both cars are the same spec.

France has history in F1 and in motorsport in general. If you host a French GP on a reasonable location than it'll be sold out, I will be surprised if that will happen in Azerbaijan (since it hasn't happened in China, Korea, India, Bahrein, etc.).

You should never forget the history, because that is what has brought you so far. But it is already becoming a part of the History of Formula 1 that Bernie is not choosing interesting tracks that would be good for racing, but places with money to suck dry.

Your response was slower than expected.

I was too busy wondering if you were trolling or just have a complete lack of knowledge of what actually goes on.

Vettel isn't getting a 'new' chassis, He's simply going back to one he used in testing.

Going back to talking about Senna's crash, I just found this thread over at AutoSport where someone (f1steveuk) saying they looked at all the evidence as part of FOM's crash investigation & he talks about some of things they found:
http://forums.autosport.com/topic/191968-senna-mystery/

Something mentioned there which I had not heard before was that Williams were running a diffuser which stalled (Designed/developed around there active suspension setup) & that the new front wing Williams had that weekend made the problems they were having with that diffuser worse.

Exactly. Ecclestone's only criterion for a new GP is money. There's zero chance that countries without big money will ever get F1 race, for example Finland, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Switzerland or Portugal (albeit Finland lacks proper circuit). If it wasn't tradition I doubt even Hungary, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Italy or not to mention Monaco would be in the calendar atm. It's sheer luck that Red Bull happened to buy A1 Ring. Otherwise Bernie would never even have considered returning to Austria.

I guess they just want to be sure his form isn't to blame on the chassis.

They also said at the start of the year that the new chassis were due in Barcelona and Silverstone. Guess what other teams introduce the updates at Barcelona and Silverstone? The UK based ones. Imagine that - a non-news story being trotted out during a week with no race, on a subject people will get pissy about. It's almost as if it all came from an Autosport article, rather than Red Bull themselves...



Which, btw, ties in with everything Red Bull have said about chassis so far.
