Does the clutch have to last the whole weekend as well?
I'm not sure what the interpretation is.
Thanks

I don't think that's included in the not-to-be-touched parts, but I'm far from sure about this one....
What a great help I was! :

The clutch is a gearbox part.

Does Ferrari still have engine-gearbox-in-one or did they even ever had such thing? Not good idea anymore anyway :

That depends. If it helps Ferrari it will, if it does not it wont.

I thought it was used in 2002 & 2003.

No, it was just a lot of fuss created by the media

No. It was rumoured for the 2002 season, but it never happened. The difference was in the placement of the gearbox, and the way it was attached to the engine.

Also there was some similar fuss about Jaguar in their first season. They did have lots of small transmission problems.Originally posted by kos

And didn't it lead to rumours that Ferrari had done away with the clutch altogether?

if the clutch can be removed from the engine without breaking the FIA seals put on the engine, i would imagine that the clutch would be free from the rule.
just a thought, has anybody seen or know what type seal the FIA will use, and where it or they will be placed on the engine?

Jaguar used common lubrication system for both engine and gearbox which caused many engine/gearbox faliures. The idea was to save weight, but it turned out that they have to use compromise lubricant instead of specialized engine/gearbox ones. Another cause of the problems was that dirt from the gearbox would come into engine and block lubrication channels which lead to engine failures.

I think the clutch is just fixed onto the flywheel - it should be relatively straightforward to leave that part unsealed - what can you do apart from taking the flywheel off if the rest of the engine is sealed? But I might be wrong.
