Shung, with this announcement... if RBR loses it's appeal today, I'm pretty sure you no longer have ownership of your soul.

With the way Luca di Montezemolo stormed out of the Ferrari garage before the race was even over, Stefano Domenicali probably quit before he had to face the boss at the team meeting!
 Also, was just watching Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson said in his description of The Stig; "he bought new condoms made by Pirelli and now has 17 children!"  |

It's not like it can get much worse for the Scudereria. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Shung, with this announcement... if RBR loses it's appeal today, I'm pretty sure you no longer have ownership of your soul. RBR lost their appeal Who didn't see that coming. Looks like they based their appeal on hand wringing and emotion instead of the science that it should have been based on. Really, a rule set down in the regulations isn't regulatory? The couple of articles I've had time to read this morning make it sound like RBR tried to say the fuel flow rule isn't really a rule and make no mention of them attacking the sensors themselves as being flawed. I guess if you know your real argument doesn't have a leg to stand you might as well try Franklin and Bash theatrics.  I wonder how many sensors RBR has bought since Australia looking for a low reading sensor, like the rest of the teams have done, according to rumor. Not really a cheat when two "identical" certified sensors give different readings for the same flow rate. I know which one I'd be putting on the engine! |

EVERY team thinks they're bigger than the sport at some point and makes all kinds of attempts to change rules to favor themselves, circumvent rules, outright CHEAT, etc. It's always been that way and it always will. Happens every single year with nearly every team. This is not news. |

With Bob Bell leaving Mercedes, I could see Ferrari bringing him and Flavio on board in a kind of recreation of the Alonso Era Renault Sport F1 Team.
Too bad Pat Symmonds (who I thought Ferrari should have picked up two years ago) is at Williams, because that would make the brain trust complete. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'll believe when it happens. Quote HistoryI'd love to see Ross back at Ferrari, and Michael too as a consultant when/if he recovers, considering they made the rest of the field look like a bunch of rolling roadblocks for most of the early 00's, but it's just not gonna happen. Figures though, it takes and Englishman and a German to make an Italian team great. |

One thing to keep in mind when reading about the politics behind these bans and penalties is that everyone in F1 has memories like rogue elephants.
I read somewhere that it was McLaren that challenged Renault's mass damper in 2006, which in turn led Renault to push for McLaren to get hammered in the Ferrari Spying case. Which in turn led to McLaren trying to get Renault/Flavio banned over the 2008 Crashgate scandal. So I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Mercedes is still pissed over something Red Bull did, like trying to get them penalized for that 'now it's illegal, now it's not' Pirelli test Mercedes did last year. |
