wonder how many people will say vettel should retire now ? We get these comments about MS but Vettel has had two crashes this year and made a few errors last year too

The Flexi-wing controversy continues..

When you watch the onboard from Vettel you can clearly see the wing deflect on the left side as he dips out of Button's wake, surely must unsettle the car?

New proposed US F1 circuit looks good..

James's site is one of my top links for F1 news, that's a really good read. I would also reccomend any afficianado's check out SCARBSF1 as well. There are some really good technical threads on there including a detailed explanation of how Ferrari got their F2007 to lower the front wing by upto 20mm

Be prepared for in depth tech talk, especially on the ignition retard and exhaust gas diffuser issues.

Cheers

An FIA statement read as follows: ”Following the press release of 19 March 2010 calling for expressions of interest to participate in the 2011 and 2012 seasons of the FIA Formula One World Championship, a number of interested parties expressed their interest. It was considered that none of the candidates met the requirements to be granted an entry into the Championship.
“Consequently, the allocation of the 13th team will not be granted.”

Ferrari escape further punishment

alferret · 08-09-2010, 17:25

Ferrari seem to have escaped any further punishment.

Beaten to it

Hom3r · 08-09-2010, 18:44

Well FIA does stand for Ferrari International Assistance.

NoKnowledge · 08-09-2010, 21:08

I wonder what the entry requirements were?

I haven't replied to this yet because I wouldn't be allowed to put what i wanted to put earlier.

So basically, it works like this: Every team other that Ferrari obey the rules and get punished if they break them. When Ferarri break the rules, that rule then get's put forward as a candidate to be got rid of, as it's obviously an inpedement to Ferarri, which obviously just isn't on at all.

Ferrari = Arrogant team which get's away with everything

Alonso = Arrogant driver who get's away with everything

What a perfect marriage!

All the teams have been doing the same thing ever since the rule was in place. Either a driver has a slow in or out lap, or the pit stop takes a second too long or a whole host of other stuff that goes on to switch positions. All the teams do it and have been since 2002 so to single out Ferrari for doing what the others did would be wrong.

Common sense has prevailed and the rule is due to be looked at and probably removed at the next meeting anyway. To punish a team over a rule you are about to remove would also be stupid.
