Ferrari should leave "Formula 1"...

F2004: 15 of 17*** 6 March 2005 22:56:47
 They have achieved everything one can in F1, including the enmity of
bigots and retards everywhere, to the extreme point where rules are
instituted, unilaterally, piecemeal, and without forethought of any
kind, merely to hinder their one team's creativity and success.

Ferrari should return to GT and prototype racing, sprints and
enduros: Such a sea change will cost them much, much less, allow for
even greater road car developments, and will extend a grand and
illustrious tradition which often seems forgotten as the pinheads in
the McWilliams-owned FIA and sewer-rat British media labor to hinder
and deride their magnificent F1 team.

Leave "Formula 1" to the bigots, retards and fuckwits who can't spell
tire correctly, think cheating is noble if it's performed in service
of Queens and Country, and still believe Britannia Rules ...anything.

...Let the toothless retards eat boiled cake.

 I agree, it is the "Old Limey's" who are trying to take the sport back
to the 20th Century. These are the same old idiots that support the
Royal Family, tougher immigration laws and reinstating the Fox hunt. If
f-1 is about being the fastest most advanced racing cars they are going
to be falling behind with these new rules. Oh and for safety sakes
lets make it more difficult to brake, corner and accelerate???

The only good things you can say about the new rules are that tire and
fuel saving technology may improve in street cars due to F1 racing???

As long as they conform to the rules then no, they should not leave f1.
You may find MS's dominance frustrating and boring, but television is
not what f1 is all about, Bernie Jr.

The username itself suggests he's a little sore at Ferrari not winning the
first race otherwise it would have been *F2005 1 of 19*

Next race perhaps ;-)­

What makes you think people sit around badmouthing Americans and
Ferrari? Get out of that little mindset of yours and explore the world.
Last time I was there it was a very enjoyable weekend with some
excellent looking and sounding cars flying around a circuit. The race
itself is almost incidental compared to the atmosphere. I'm very much
looking forward to returning this year after a 3 year absence.

Cheers
Graham

Indeed, fuckwit, are they? That Barrichello managed a P2 is massively
commendable, given the tilted field.

Silly me, I'd expected a "Fratelli d'Italia" for the Italian who won the
Grand Prix of Australia yesterday. Even if he was in a French racing
car, his team manager is also an Italian. Maybe they should consider
re-painting the cars.

Le Mans is not in England. And most of the people who post here are not
English either.

HTH ;)


Last time I was there we had some very good Americans joining us,
enjoying the race and the company of a whole mix of nationalities.
It's a concept which is totally foreign to Lardboy.

Sadly, Fisichella's win was ever bittersweet, being the result of
fundamentally unfair policies and intentions.

Randomisation favours one team over another? Sounds like a contradiction
in terms to me. Anyway, random engine failures is a sign of poor quality
control, and Ferrari seem to have quality control nailed - they are the
most reliable team by far over the last year or 2.

I think you're wrong. More to the point, I've got vastly more experience
of meeting English racing fans than you (and it's not like I go to lots
of motor racing). Some could say that this NG seems to fairly
representative of Americans - I don't think that's right, and I'm sure
you wouldn't either - so don't apply your prejudices based on a small
selection of people who post here. I would have thought your scientific
background would preclude you from making rash conclusions on such a
small results set.

Well you see, there's these things called motorcars. They have 4 wheels
and make loud broom broom noises. They travel very fast around a circuit
for a whole day. People come from all over the world to mingle with each
other and enjoy themselves. They might only watch part of the race, and
spend the rest of the time talking about racing. Or football. Or the
political climate in Zimbabwe. Or whatever they fancy talking about. The
common connection is an interest in motorracing. It's really that
simple. Nothing complicated. All fans of motorsport should try it once.

What's to understand? Go to Le Mans, buy a ticket, wait for the race
to start, watch the race, go home.

Some wimps want to eat and/or sleep. During a motor race?

The point you're so easily missing is that if you want to watch all 24
hours of it, you can. If you want to watch a couple of hours and spend
the rest of the time talking racing, you can. If you want to watch none
of it and get pissed while soaking up the atmosphere, you can.

Further, it's a very real thing, unlike your Formula England fantasy
that exists only in your head.

Ah, another of the famouse MJF ad hominem attacks. Does that mean you
accept the point?

Randomisation doesn't hurt the dominant team any more than anyone else.
Not only that, there is no randomisation implicit in the requirement to
built 2 race engines that isn't there in the 1 race engine rule or even
in the previous requirement to build an engine that could last from
lights out to chequered flag. Randomisation is a poor excuse for bad
quality control, and since Ferrari would appear to have truly amazing
quality control, on their record last year, it should affect them least,
not most.

For shame Mark. You and Dubya could both use some sort of introduction

You can't follow even the simplest train of thought if it doesn't
conform to your preconceived notions. I have given up, being neither
trained nor skilled in remediating cognitive learning disabilities.

If you can come up with something that makes sense in terms of any real
experience of engineering bespoke components, then fine. If all you've
got is management speak, then it's difficult to relate that to real
life. "Ever diminishing process tolerances" sounds like something you
got from a book. In the real world, if you design a part that is beyond
your capability to accurately make, to the tolerance required, you have
3 choices. Change the design, change the manufacture, or fail. It might
not be rocket science, but it certainly isn't random.

Actually they should get out because they've screwed themselves.

If they win it's because of Schumacher, Brawn and bespoke tyres from
Bridgestone.

If they don't win they'll be crap, embarassing, never had anything
except Schumacher, Brawn and bespoke tyres, a waste of money, living on
past glories etc etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I was about 15 or 16 at the time, but I
remember in the mid to late 80's many people were saying the same

 How do you figure? The only things that are different (at least as I
surmise) between them are that McLaren had TWO of the greatest drivers
ever working for them and that Bernie wasn't running the show at that
point. Wouldn't domination by any one team be detrimental?

And Joseph Kennedy. He had to be removed from his post as Ambassador
in London after Churchill had threatened to revoke his diplomatic
status and have him charged with espionage...

Domination wasn't considered detrimental until Ferrari started doing
the dominating: As long as it was McLaren or Williams all was "right
with the world".

Nobody considered or advocated changing the rules every season in the
eighties and nineties.

Depends on how you define "changing the rules". Off the top of my
head...

* the mandating of the flat bottom from 1983 onwards
* increasing restrictions on turbo boost
* the introduction of 3.5 liter normally aspirated engines for 1987 (or
was that earlier?)
* the banning of turbos from 1989 onwards
* the changes to the point system in 1991
* various aero restrictions for 1991, 1992, 1993 (and nearly every
season)
* the banning of "driver aids" for the 1994 season
* the re-introduction of refuelling for 1994
* the holes in the air intakes introduced mind 1994
* the "plank" for 1994
* the padded cockpit surrounds and more aero restrictions for 1996
* the introduction of the 107% rule
* the dropping of the 107% rule
* introduction of 12-lap qualifying
* grooved tyres
* engines restricted to 3 liters
* engines restricted to 10 cylinders

All of that before the start of Ferrari's period of domination and much
of during McLaren's purple patch. We also saw a team kicked out of the
manufacturer's championship because of a dispute over who actually made
the chassis, a world champion threatened with the suspension of his
superlicense and a disqualification of a driver who won on the track
and thought he'd secured the championship in doing so. Oh... and a
championship leader black flagged and later suspended for two races.

The rules are constantly changing. Every year there are changes.
They're not always as drastic as the changes in qualifying format we've
seen over the last few seasons, but there are hanges all the time.
Think of the start procedure, the introduction of the pace car, speed
limits in the pit lane...

Actually, they haven't, but carry on.

Max has said on at least one occasion that he would like to slow Ferrari
down. That isn't the same as saying that he has done, or tried to, and
Max is the kind of political animal who says whatever he thinks people
want to hear. As always, actions speak louder than words, and if he was
really anti-Ferrari I doubt he would've been able to write press
releases about how pleased he was to have an agreement for 2008-12 with
them - Todt isn't quite stupid enough to sign agreements with people who
are actively trying to make him lose.
