    Hammi did yesterday's qualifying in a spare car, but i think they're rebuilding he's original car for today's race. i thought spare cars was banned?

    My understanding is that they are not allowed to bring a pre-built spare car.....

    but they are allowed to bring a spare tub and enough parts to build a car, anyone with more knowledge then I wish to elaborate?

    I think you are correct. Brian, what exactly did you hear? I can't imagine anyone is allowed to qualify one car, and then run another.

    From what I understand of the rules he has to race in the car that he qualified in. I know that they built up his qualifying car from a tub and parts and it wasn't assembled prior to his accident.

    i can't seem to find the link now, lol. i swear i read on on f1-live.com, thats why i decided to start the thread. i suppose they realised it was a mistake. here's Hammi's quote on F1-live.com

    I know the guys worked until early this morning preparing the car after yesterday’s accident, so a big thank you to them.

    You can build a car to race but it must be in pieces before it's needed.
