| Felipe Massa at COTA by Jamey Price |
Red Bull has been invoking the letter of the regulations while flaunting their intent all season: bendy wings, rubber nose, rebuilding the whole car after the Abu Dhabi penalty, ignoring the budget cap so as Ferrari's move is legal, hats off to them for leaving nothing on the table.
Well said!
ReplyDeleteMeh. Where have all the sportsmen gone?
ReplyDeleteplease, just don't go there. I understand you are a TIFOSO but thats just ridiculous. Typical Ferrari style, and Alonso is a perfect match for the Scuderia.
ReplyDeletelet's go complain about RB soft nose (wich is something to behold since it's a result of resarch and genius) while we fake the real values by changing a pefectly fine gearbox.
lowest point in Ferrari history in F1
You can count on Ferrari haters to freak out and have zero objectivity. If its ok for RBR to exploit the rules, it's not ok for anyone else? Lol
DeleteRBR tried to cheat last race?? Remember the fuel issue? Of course you don't remember.
DeleteI love complete ignorance and bias. Everyone allows or demands a lower teammate to fall on their sword to benefit the team/their teammate, but only Ferrari should be held accountable for it. Do us a favor and stop watching F1, the more critical thinkers we have the better, and you're obviously not one.
DeleteScrew it, I think the FIA should let them take the gloves off and just spend whatever they want to get the win.
ReplyDeleteWHile RBR has some money to throw around, Ferrari and McLaren have the built-infrastructure to shame the newbs right out of the box. Adrian would find some super-slick aero devices while Mercedes could bring their engine and technical departments to the front instead of hoping for the driver to make the car perform.
never happen
Don't know if you're watching the race live AC, but your "Tilke track" talk is completely unfounded. There's racing going on everywhere. Maybe you shouldn't jump to illogical conclusions so quickly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year we'll get a better idea of how much that has to do with the track layout and how much it has to do with a complete lack of grip and driver talent taking such a huge roll. I'm not leaning either way at this moment.
DeleteThat's precisely why you shouldn't jump to the conclusion that this track won't have good racing. We had damn good racing today, writing it off before there was even 1 lap turned in anger was ridiculous.
DeleteAnd for you to say his thoughts are completely unfounded is ridiculous. Every other Tilke track has given us nothing but snorefest races unless it rains. Austin was nearly the equivalent of a wet race. I really hope it does provide more great races in the future, but as with AC, I'm still at least a little skeptical.
DeleteWith the immense pressure put on the whole sport because of the huge amount of money involved, you are doing a disservice to the team and all your backers if you do not exploit the rules to gain every legal advantage possible. If it was my decision, I would have done the same thing.
ReplyDeletePretty sure if RBR had done it (the gearbox thing) and announced it in a pretty press event, most people would be ok with it, some even say it was "brilliant".
ReplyDeleteGuess what, it was. As brilliant as it was "ugly".
What they should is get rid of this nonsense gearbox penaties already.
well, the way i see it:
ReplyDeleteRed Bull have been caught napping.
they could have easily broken the seal on Webbers gearbox, thus forcing Alonso back on the dirty side.
