Thanks for the info. I like clear answers like that. The Aston Martin thing is very ironic, and I believe it, but it makes no sense from a sponsorship standpoint. I guess their rationalizations are that most people that don't follow the sport would simply assume the Red Bull is an Aston Martin...

To be fair there is also another possibility to why give away your points like that. In Formula One it looks like teams don't really care about the drivers, all they care is about having the best drivers they can get that can also make things easier for them, and to get more from their sponsors...

You would be surprised to what lengths someone would go to preserve their ego.

No, just Hamilton, after that last pit he did.

I lost a lot of respect for Hamilton in this race. There was nothing wrong with his car. He couldn't take the pressure of Vettel overtaking him and gave up. I would had have much more respect for him if he would had continued and take the lost like a man.

That still implies that all Renault engines despite the inconvenience of the way things get supplied are at least supposed to be the exact same for all the teams that use it, with the same hardware and software, and that those little inconveniences of how things get supplied make all the...

Aston Martin may be small but they do have some very clever engineers working for them. I'm sure some kind of input has been put into the cars, even if it is just conceptual or purely aesthetics. We probably will never know with all the secrecy within the sport.

That's a cheap way to clean their hands. He obviously was a victim from the extreme incompetence of the ones in charge of Formula One. Who in their right mind would leave a tractor on the road in the middle of a race? That was a case of negligence and I'm surprised no one high above got fired or...

I have another question. Why did they added those halo things on top of the cars? They weren't there before. Don't they hurt the visibility of the drivers? Is it possible they will go away any time soon? I ask because I like to play the F1 games, and knowing Codemasters on how they like to...

It's just my guess, but the guy above said the same thing. He said only the power unit is the same, but I don't know. All I know is that the Red Bull cars are faster than the McLaren ones and I'm sure the motor plays a part in that. However the guy above said they are both Renault.

My guess is that the Renault engines are not the same for McLaren and Red Bull, the same goes for different teams using Honda engines. What is strange is that if engines make such a big difference, I would imagine less wealthy teams could at least try to get the good engines if they can't...

I agree. It sounds very bizarre, maybe we don't have the full info disclosure of how involved they really are, in order to put their name on the vehicle. I'm an U.S. citizen but I grew up in Central America. Everybody calls it football over there. So that means Renault is for sure putting...

By the way, that's very interesting because if the Aston Martin cars run with Renault engines, and the McLaren cars also run with Renault engines, but the Red Bull cars are still the fastest ones, that would mean that Aston Marton cars have much better aerodynamics in their design than McLaren...

So the body is Aston Martin, but the motor is Renault. I guess I can understand that.

No, I live in Santa Clarita California. I made the football teams comparison because now the sponsorship makes sense with that I mind, but I get that in this case the sponsors are also the owners. But like I said in the previous reply, that ownership raises another problem, and that is to know...

I guess that makes sense now that I compare it to football. A team like Levante in Spain has no chance whatsoever to win against teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona that have much more money, but they still play regardless.

Thank you for all the answers. About Citroën and Aston Martin I got confused. It says Citrix not Citroën. For a second I thought they were the same car. However still doesn't make sense why McLaren and Renault are making the same car. Those are two different car manufacturers from two...

- Are the cars made with manual transmission or automatic? - If cars use manual transmission, is there a clotch? How do the drivers use the clotch, is it a pedal or is it in the wheel? - Can they use automatic transmission? - Is there a height limit for drivers? - Is there an age limit for...
