Andy_Bangle Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Heard that teams are not allowed to bring additional parts to Sochi due to custom laws Only stuff directly from Suzuka can be imported so not many updates expected. Another brilliant rule from the Russians Do they think Red Bull will smuggle cheese in their spare front wings? I know it may seem inappropriate but what about Marussia that has to rebuild a full car? Will they only run one car) what about if you have a damaged car, like sutil's Sauber? Hopefully the teams took enough to spares to Japan. Be interesting to see what happens in 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Well in a sense I guess it puts all the teams in the same situation as Caterham... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'd say yes they do and I would be shocked if they didn't to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Marussia will only race one car in Sochi Sochi Autodrom, Russia Friday 10 October 2014, 09.30hrs Sochi/06.30hrs BST We will run a single car for the duration of the forthcoming Grand Prix weekend in Sochi, out of respect for our driver Jules Bianchi, who remains in hospital in Yokkaichi, Japan, in a critical but stable condition. We have written to the Stewards of the Meeting to inform them that we have withdrawn our second car. Notwithstanding the presence in Sochi of Alexander Rossi, the nominated Official Reserve Driver for the 2014 Russian Grand Prix, the Team feels strongly that fielding a single car, that of driver number 4, Max Chilton, is the appropriate course of action under the difficult circumstances of the weekend. Jules' car crew have built a second car, which has been scrutineered and is ready to race, and this will remain on his side of the garage throughout the weekend. In support of Jules and his family, the Team and its cars will carry the familiar #JB17 graphic, to ensure that although Jules is not with us in Sochi this weekend, he is, nonetheless, racing on with the Marussia F1 Team.

Andy_Bangle Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Impressive effort from Pastor Maldonado in FP1. Pit lane speeding at 11:03 and 11:05... That's 2000 Euro fine for Lotus. . Jenson Button at least kept his double pit lane speeding offences apart. 10.05 and 10.29 - with 1100 Euro fine for McLaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Practise is being repeated now on BBC2. The track looks like someone designed it with a limited box of Scaletrix bits. You know when you need to complete the loop and only have certain bits left ... and then you also want to use all the parts up too. I can't say I'm a fan so far.
