Apparently, of the 6 cars tested by the FIA for skid plank wear, #44 was not one of the 6 cars.... So how/when was the car tested and found to be irregular? And what about the other 13 cars....? Anyway, I don't recall much to be excited about in terms of racing in Shanghai. Let's hope Suzuka lights up the racing. IceCreamMan 1

If I was Yuki I would tell them to get knotted - he's probably going to follow Honda to Aston anyway and why leave a car which is working really well for him to go to a situation where it's pretty toxic, and where they didn't think he was good enough to go to in the first place.....

If the rumours do indeed prove to be true, I doubt Yuki even has any say in the matter, contractually. Plus he seems keen on it based on interviews after China. The RB21 is a fundamentally flawed car it seems and only Max has been able to live with it. I don't think Yuki going there is going to fix the problem...he'll probably also just be at best 0.5s behind Max. I hope that does not turn out to be the case because I like Yuki, but that RB21...
IceCreamMan Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Confirmed now.  could be a major step backwards for yuki. Grumpyoldgit 1
