FIA summons Toro Rosso over 'unsafe' car
wow so these guys were going to put Sainz in a damaged and unsafe car??
"We'll fit a new engine and I don't think it will be a big difference, but obviously we have some things planned," Vettel told reporters on Thursday.
so it wont be a big difference, Vettel says it was planned
"Although he had used only two main engines in the season's opening nine rounds, he has used four turbochargers and MGU-Hs - meaning he is almost certain to take a grid penalty when fifth elements are inevitably used later in the year.
By contrast, closest rival Hamilton has only used two of each component so far this year."

But i thought they said the turbos were salvageable and will be used later?
Won't the shield get as dirty or dirtier then the tear offs which can be removed. Needs to be a cage system nothing solid because in the rain it will be a nightmare. They just need to get all the little small bits that come off to easy removed. I saw in the electric series and indy their wheel covers come off so easy and are like missiles and they go straight at the drivers head.
Have you ever waxed your windshield and driven in the rain......not drizzle but in the rain at 60mph. You don't need windshield wipers; at least I don't. Your windshield looks like
tadpoles running up along the windshield and its clear. Now a downpour, thats different but F1 won't race in a downpour where it rains buckets. Try it.
LH bring it on then you will loose more points to the other guys like Austria.lol hamilton actually brought up the fact that RBR have brought upgrades , said he wants a 3 team competition
Ferrari brought a PU upgrade here, right?
So both merc and ferrari will run the new PU tomorrow ?
I think we will only see the tiny difference for ferrari in Quali, seb said there is hardly any difference.
I'm not sure about mercs upgrading there engine, they haven't mentioned it yet on tv, although they are the best at keeping it secret and getting the best results
In my tv (canalf1 Latinoamérica), they have been saying a lot about the merc engine upgrade, they said it was a reliability upgrade so they can use more time their Q3 pace on the race .
