^^^ dani I doubt that Cosworth has the most powerfull engine, nobody questions their know-how when it comes to V8`s, but the results until now are dissapointing , and you can`t put it all on the chassis because Williams makes some great ones

They lack both straight line speed and lap time

yeh cossworth engines are the most powerfull ...... donno the specs of the new mclaren though .... being the most powerfull dosnt really matter ... being the most reliable matters ......

looking at thier lap times, they are just fine.... the problem is the race-distance on the engines

ooking at thier lap times, they are just fine.... the problem is the race-distance on the engines

looking at thier lap times, they are just fine....

fine ?

In terms of qualifications and fastest lap times, they are at least 1 second slower then the top cars

saadie · 06-07-2006, 01:18 PM

^^ itsnt that good enough for a comparatively new team

RAMMIUS · 06-07-2006, 01:20 PM

^^^ For a team with the name Williams , it`s not good

And what do you mean by new ?
Cosworth it`s an old dog

Maybe if the name was Toyota

saadie · 06-07-2006, 01:22 PM

the thing is ... the combination is new ....soo it defeats all odds

Im surprised by the yota deal, I would have thought that Sir Williams would have wanted to stay with the all british (or all conquering colonies) team. On the other hand, the Cosworth has really been a dissapointment. Webber coulda had many good points paying positions, including a couple of podiums, but the engine just gave up. Feel sorry for the guy

Oh well, fuck alonso!

I think the amount of money thrown at F1, the deal can only be a good thing.... but they are fairly close competitors - would Williams really get toyotas best engine?

saadie · 06-09-2006, 09:33 AM

^^ i dont see why not ......
imo they should've have kept the cossworth engine ...... :roll:

Renault re-signs Fisichella for 2007
Thursday, 15, June, 2006, 12:35

Renault has announced that it has re-signed Giancarlo Fisichella for the 2007 season.

The Italian, whose future was in doubt with his existing contract expiring at the end of 2006, has secured a one-year extension to his association with the world champion team.

“It was very important for me to know my future as soon as possible in the season,” said the 33-year-old.

“I am delighted to be staying at Renault next year, and to have the opportunity to see my hard work with the team over the past two seasons come to fruition.

“I want to thank the Renault F1 Team and the Renault Group for the trust they have placed in me.

“This clear vision for the future means I can focus 100% on the job at hand: retaining the constructors’ championship with Renault in 2006 and finishing as high as possible in the drivers’ standings.”

Renault team boss Flavio Briatore said Fisichella’s improved performance this year – he has scored 32 points so far compared to 17 at the same stage last season – had persuaded him to re-sign the Roman.

“We are extremely pleased to continue working with Giancarlo next year,” Briatore said.

“He was an integral part of our championship success last year; he has upped his game significantly for 2006, making the team even stronger; we believe he can do it again for 2007.

“It is important for Renault to maintain continuity as we move into next year, and Giancarlo’s integration with the team is now perfect.

“What’s more, his experience with the team over two championship campaigns will be an invaluable asset.

“We will have ambitious targets for next season, and Giancarlo is capable of achieving them.”

^not really surprised, Alonso kinda forced Renault's hand to sign Fisi since he is going to Mclaren. Finding a second driver for Renault is going to be interesting.
