Just seen the accident on youtube... really unlucky   I watched him race and he was a real prospect.. Really sad news   My thoughts and prayers are with his family    

I would assume that next years scaled down model could be made quite easily and tested in the wind tunnel. My step sisters cousin (Yeah i know) helps make these models for Mclaren and they change/test new ideas all the time as models are pretty cheap to make and assemble.  Didnt Spyker or Torro Rosso introduce a completely new car ...

Is it possible that we will now see next seasons Ferrari, Mclaren or Renault racing this year so  to use maximum track time for testing?   Not sure if they are allowed ???  All the teams have pretty much given up on this season and have now commited to F1 so with development time/money at a premium would it not make ...
