but a blown engine is what it is , a blown engine , the speed they spin at there is going to be considerable damage

I pretty much agree with all of those suggestions, Paul, the only one I'm not sure of is the 'push to pass' button, as afaik, that works by temporarily allowing more boost from the turbo - and we ain't got them. - but slicks, smaller wings, success ballast, steel brakes & manual/sequential gearboxes

fair point about the push to pass , i reckon they could do something similar along the lines of mixture adjustment though

Push to pass works in Cart because all the cars are using the same engine. I like the Cart system of allowing the cars to be restarted with assistance and continuing in the race.

i don't know if you saw it but on last weeks collectable models on ideal world they had a scale model of a ferrari formula one steering wheel from 2003,and the expert guy showed you ferrari's push to pass button on it.
i don't know how it worked but he definately called it a push to pass button.

maybe it was like i said , a mixture adjustment button

could be but i wonder if any other f1 team as the same button,because something for sure gives ferrari the edge and i don't think its all down to schumacher or ross brawn.

but it cant be illegal as it would have been picked up on

ask ron dennis about ferrari,he knows there's one rule for ferrari and one for everybody else.
why would it have been picked up on,ferrari are not going to be so stupid as to call it a push to pass button are they.

very true but dont you think the fia might just check all the cars thouroughly

edit :- i am sticking with my mixture adjustment idea

in my opinion the fia and mr ecclestone want schumacher to win 17 out of the eighteen races this year,so i'm sure a blind eye can be turned.

sorry mate but i reckon that is talking total and utter ******** , nothing personal , think about it , what are they going to gain from that , f@ck all i reckon apart from annoying all the formula 1 fans , sorry my mate i reckon you are very very far from the mark on that one

The "push to pass" button or whatever was mentioned in commentary during one of Schu's overtaking manoeuvres in the French GP.
