Which teams do you all predict will be able to best capitalize on the new technical regulations?
I haven't really taken the time to closely analyze the changes. I'm hoping that at least Red Bull and Ferrari will be able to fight Mercedes for wins every race weekend. If Williams and Force India can get in there and fight for some wins, that would be great too! I'm a Ferrari guy deep down, but I like to see real competition from as many teams as possible. I think it was 2011 or 12 when we saw 7 different drivers win the first 7 races. That was great to watch. |

Regarding the new tire rule, are the new wider tires going to be on a larger diameter wheel or will they be limited to 13-inch diameter wheels like the current tires? I know that there was a tire test with 17-inch diameter wheels a few years ago. I'm wondering will F-1 move into the 21st century and will 405mm wide, 17" rim used slicks become available on the tire market for those of us who want wider tires for certain classes of autocross.
Formula Atlantic tires are only so 13" wide and having 16 inch wide Formula 1 rubber could be a godsend for some people I know. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_Q4v5vRWpUMerc may verywell be back at the top. However, it will be a tenuous one and they very well may split the season with RedBull, TR, and/or even Force India. Ferrari is doing a bit of a redesign of their engine and could very well match the Merc within 10-15hp even during qualifying. McHonda has a chance to get back to the podium if the engine redesign works out. Renault will likely have a much better engine but I dont really see the works team moving THAT far up the grid. They could surprise though so keep an eye on them. The rest of the Indie teams not of Indian descent will likely either fall down the grid or something really weird happens. |

A couple of the automotive spy websites will probably have video of 2017 car development mules running laps at the Ferrari test track before January is over. ETA: Ferrari is already testing the 2017 tires. Here's a video of wet tires testing with Vettel driving an older model car set up as a tire test mule. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCmORzdOb5s  Sebastian Vettel Testing New 2017 Pirelli Wet Tyres On a Modified Ferrari SF15-T F1 Car |

Really bummed that Rosberg retired. Loved watching him get under Hamilton's skin. Hopefully Vettel has a good year.
Would like to see Hulkenberg do well. |

Leading Formula 1 teams could be forced to revise their suspension systems on the eve of the 2017 season amid a row brewing following a Ferrari query over trick technology that Mercedes has pioneered. http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-suspension-row-brews-ahead-of-2017-season-862612/ |

Quote HistorySo, from what I gather the Merc hydraulic springs can store the energy from traveling and release it more precisely to keep the car low and flat. It's an energy recapture suspension and it is fucking brilliant. So, of course the FIA will ban it. Why wouldnt they. They are the same jokers that claimed FRICs was a moveable aerodynamic device. Never mind that their justification meant they could in theory BAN BRAKES. "1) displacement in a direction opposed to the applied load over some or all of its travel, regardless of the source of the stored energy used to achieve this. Or 2) a means by which some of the energy recovered from the forces and displacements at the wheel can be stored for release at a later time to extend a spring seat or other parts of the suspension assembly whose movement is not defined by the principally vertical suspension travel of the two wheels." Concerning number 1: So, how about they ban dampers? Seeing as how they are a more stone age yet well refined device that displaces in a direction opposed to applied load over some or all of it's travel. All Merc did was design a very trick 'delayed recoil action'. 2) So basically, they dont want the teams to be able to very precisely (and mechanically) control each corner of the car. Lol may as well say you can't have space age passive suspension. Yes, I know they are storing the suspension energy in hydraulic fluid to be released at times that the chassis needs to be controlled more vigorously. This will be in road cars. It is a brilliant system and will be yet another OEM tech that is banned in F1. |
