@bigjaffa: Well, it's quite obvious what he really means by "megaphone exhausts" though. You know, the same thing you do to your VW Golf when you're 18.
Do you remember the Giant Bomb Olympic Games Olympiad stream from 2012? Have you considered doing something similar with F1 games across the decades? There have been quite a few changes over the decades after all, and even with the technical limitations of 80's games, I'm sure some of that would come across and be pretty interesting.

+1 to that. Especially since pretty much all of them should support wheels. Get yourselfs in that racing seat!
@xenonick: You might want to (re)read the report linked by @mijati. Here it is. TLDR: they did tell the stewards.
I'll put my reading after each point, but I'm definitely no FIA representative.
...
c. They operated the original sensor during the race, which provided the same readings as Run 4 of Practice 1, and Practice 2.
They had to switch back to the sensor Red Bull thought faulty.
Now part 9 in the same report is the actual contentious point. Red Bull thought they were told to fit a faulty part back to their car and were advised to use an offset. If they're right and their injector telemetry is right then the offset is a massive disadvantage for a fault part FIA supplied. If they're wrong the penalty is justified. They must have been reasonably confident they could fight this as they were given a chance during the race to comply. They must have done some maths and thought they had a higher probability of winning more points fighting it, than reducing power and picking up a lower place.
Well even if it was faulty and they actually where running within legal fuel flow they used an illegal measurement method and was properly warned before and during the race.
B) That although the sensor showed a difference in readings between runs in P1, it remains the homologated and required sensor against which the team is obliged to measure their fuel flow, unless given permission by the FIA to do otherwise.
D) That regardless of the team’s assertion that the sensor was fault, it is not within their discretion to run a different fuel flow measurement method without the permission of the FIA.
Swedish television is interviewing Marcus Ericsson, he told them that the car is having trouble with wheel-spin, even in dry conditions. Should be fun to drive in this weather then! :P
Fingers crossed they don't delay till tomorrow. I was at the 2009 Malaysian GP, the one that got cut short by the rain... It can really pour there, also it is run in the late afternoon so they going to fast start running out of light.
Malaysia always runs as late as possible to try have better viewing times for Europe, but it really hurts them with the weather, it rains most afternoons / evenings.
