Re: 2015 Abu Dhabi race thread
What the hell was that micromanagment of the Mercedes drivers in this race, i think they make a fool of race-fans in this race. 2 weeks ago they said they keep them on identical strategies to keep the battle fair, but they clearly disadvantage Hamilton in this race. I'm a Ferrari fan, so i couldn't ...

Re: 14 cars OR 20 cars but no Ferrari
Ferrari get 2½% of the profit pie extra just for turning up. Which is around 18.8 million $. The prize money they recieve as per the exact same rules as everybody else + their extra prize money is around 100 million $. Now i wouldn't argue that it's an unfair advantage, since they got more prize mon...

Re: The Conspiracy of Ferrari and Renault
In the end, if the advantage Mercedes has with their engine is sustained, sporting decisions by the FIA will be made to alter the competitive picture. It has always been the case in f1 imo, and it will be again. From a cost perspective, i dont agree at all, as others have pointed parts are being dev...

Re: Power Struggle at Ferrari?
I do not think so. For me, the appointment of Mattiachi is either: 1)An interrim solution untill Brawn or whoever steps in or 2)A signal that the organizational structure of Ferrari is lacking. I would think the latter part to be honest. Ferrari has more than enough high-profile technical staff. So ...

Re: retro thread.. Japan 89. prost vs senna. who was wrong.
I don't agree with divebombing. It puts way too much trust in the driver being overtaken. If I was Prost, I would have turned in too. Senna had a godgiven talent, but some of his driving wasn't the stuff of angels.
