It’s their first independently constructed chassis since they were Minardi, however it’s largely based on the Red Bull STR4. ---

Looks like USF1 might be done for good lol [http://murphythebear.com/blog/index.php/2010/03/02/158-usf1-closes-lending-to-loles-led-to-larceny-audi-ignores-alms/](http://murphythebear.com/blog/index.php/2010/03/02/158-usf1-closes-lending-to-loles-led-to-larceny-audi-ignores-alms/) ---

Even though I didn’t think they’d accomplish much, I really hope that isn’t true. EDIT: [http://www.crash.net/f1/news/157376/1/usf1\_is\_deadand\_it\_wont\_come\_back.html](http://www.crash.net/f1/news/157376/1/usf1_is_deadand_it_wont_come_back.html) ---

Any of you guys been reading the technical discussions about McLaren’s blown rear wing? Pretty creative way to get the same effect as the old flexi wings - although the real credit needs to be given to BMW @ Suzuka 2009 where they had something similar, although not as effective. ---

USF1 is definitely dead, and I couldn’t care less. ---

So 2 races in… what do you guys think? Overtakes are more common, faster pit stops so more time on track, more focus on the driver skill… I like it. Australia was a great race. ---

> [@TORQDSS](#): > > Overtakes are more common, faster pit stops so more time on track, more focus on the driver skill… I like it. Australia was a great race. Only because of rain. Smaller front tires = less overtaking (good job FIA, should’ve given them larger rears, left the fronts alone, more power, less aero, more mechanical grip, more power, more mistakes, more passing, more oversteer, more show… wait nahhh that makes too much sense). RBR reliability is breaking my balls (as well as Vettel’s) Was nice seeing Jensen show up LH and then listen to LH lambaste his team on the radio sounding like the spoiled bitch he is.
