Think they tried C4, but that failed.

Sniffpetrol:
New F1 pit lane ruling revealed
by Sniff Petrol on Friday, July 12th, 2013
Following an accident at last weekend’s German Grand Prix in which a cameraman was struck by a flying wheel, Formula One Management has announced that from now on cars will be banned from the pit lane.
‘It was assumed that we would ban camera crews from the pits,’ said an FOM spokesman ‘But that’s ridiculous. F1 is a television sport. We have to have cameras. This is a much better solution since it allows those vital TV crews to roam around getting nice shots of tyres with warmers on and engineers dressed up in those fireproof helmets that make them look like aliens without any fear of being hit by a car or loose wheel.’
The new ruling may answer FOM’s safety concerns but the move is sure to cause headaches for the teams; ‘It’s certainly going to make the race a challenge,’ said one anonymous insider. ‘We’re looking at getting the drivers to do wheel changes themselves out on the track by mounting four spare tyres on the back and bunging a jack in the boot. Yea, that’s right. Not many people know that F1 cars have a boot.’
Although engineers are clearly exploring all options to permit tyre changes in the face of the new regulation, paddock rumour suggest most teams will be more radical by contesting the current obligation to use primes and options during a race and attempting to complete the entire distance on one set of rubber. ‘Oh,’ said a Pirelli spokesman. ‘Erm… ****.’

Meanwhile... Adrian Newey decides that the front engined red bull will mount its engine at the rare like a vw bettle with the spare tyres at the front with the fuel tank.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Porsche is entering LMP1 next year. And this is where Mark will be finding himself - fighting it out against Audi and Toyota. I can't wait!

That is if Audi and Toyota decide to compete.

Why wouldn't they? Audi are defending champs and Toyota are extremely competitive. Neither have made any noise to quit LMP1. I am actually hopeful that Peugeot will come back at some point.

Yay for hamilton and yay for williams.
Finally he got a win, deserved a win and i hope the mercedes have overcome those tyre issues. Williams got their first time point!!!!!!!
Fantastic. Great race, poor rosberg had a bad day, nailed first corner then engine explodes. Maybe the ham can push for another title and stop vettel.
