On the statements of MBS::

A while back "Battlestar Gallaxtica" was popular and had spicy language appropriate as swear language is to typical people.
F = Frick or Friggen
S = Snot
B = Borsch
D = Dagnabbit

There are plenty of ways to address the need to let off steam and still meat the letter of the censoring laws. You just have to learn the code, or invent a new one.

 

FIA considering action over flexi rear wings after McLaren’s ‘mini-DRS’ intrigue

The FIA says it is evaluating evidence from the Azerbaijan GP to see if it needs to respond to flexible rear wing designs

A statement from the FIA said: “The FIA is closely monitoring the flexibility of bodywork on all cars and reserves the right to request teams to make modifications at any point during the season.
“However, if a team successfully passes all deflection tests and adheres to the regulations and technical directives, they are deemed to be in full compliance, and no further action will be taken.

“The FIA is currently reviewing data and any additional evidence that has emerged from the Baku GP and is considering any mitigating measures for future implementation.

HOWEVER NOW THIS LOL

Formula 1’s governing body the FIA says McLaren’s rear wing complies with the rules after rivals Red Bull raised questions about its legality.

Television footage from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last weekend appeared to show a part of McLaren’s rear wing flexing upwards on the straight.

An FIA spokesperson said the McLaren had passed all tests with regard to flexibility of bodywork and complied with the rules.

 

Yes NASCAR does it all the time

 

Anyone but Red Bull right? It's clear now that McLaren are cheating. It's out in the open and everyone knows it. Let's pretend though its not happening because it makes for exciting racing.

 

F1 is getting quite sickening to watch. No wonder Max has no interest of staying very long.

Rules always change depending what team and what driver.

 

F1 has become like pro boxing under Don King. We see how that all went. Too much money, too many of the wrong people involved which all equates to corruption and manipulation.

 

Why are you talking about Dominicali ?
This guy is only driven by money.

 

When a "sport" becomes too professional ...

 

When sport becomes all about business.

 

When sport becomes racertainment.
Whoremula 1.

Looking forward to seeing all of you 'patrons' of the Whoremula1 here this weekend for the race lol.

F1 may have been late to the Corporate money party but its always been about money and certainly with Bernie. This is hardly news. It has always been about entertainment which is why tickets were sold. We enjoy good racing, so its 'entertaining' yes?

Not perfect but overall this season has been one with surprises and it did not start like that at all.

 

and revenge imho?

 

When a sport becomes all about money!

 

Well the depression and conspiracy can now take a rest lol

McLaren asked by FIA to modify rear wing after 'mini-DRS' controversy
McLaren will have to change controversial 'mini-DRS' rear wing

Although there is no doubt that the wing fully complies with the current regulations, and passes all the static tests, it is understood that the FIA has requested for changes to be made.

 

F1 rookie sprint race plan set for green light
F1 teams look set to give the go-ahead to plans for a rookie sprint race after the Abu Dhabi season finale

 

Happy to provide more credit if you would shut it and leave!

Ben Sulayem thinks FIA isn't getting enough credit: "We only get rubbish"
FIA president rues the lack of credit the federation receives

 

The FIA and Liberty's love affair for money has destroyed the roots of what made F1 great. They get credit for that.

 

Let's be fair here. Liberty makes and redistributes more money than ever.
The teams rely on that funding; F1 is expensive.

 

I think F1 teams fought for a bigger piece of the pie in 2009, Liberty took over in 2017. But yes the FIA/Liberty's motto of more races in calendar, especially race tracks that pay a bigger premium (middle east especially) does mean more profits to the teams. Might be a big reason why we don't hear the teams complaining. But it doesn't change the point I was making. Sprint races, hybrids, huge cars, 24 grand prixs, restrictions on fuel and tires, goodbye to so many good tracks in favor of boring money tracks. Ridiculous amounts of flair and less attention to the actual racing. Can't even begin to talk about rules and penalties.

We can pick things from current F1 to keep around, but as a whole, this is not the F1 we fans want. I'm certainly not saying everything in the past was better, but there is a lot that was.

 

The teams don't seem to complain too much about the heavy schedule, and the extra sprint races.
They must have found financial compensation. As for the technical rules, they were party to that too.
But it's a different F1 than it was 30 or 50 years ago, that's for sure. But NOTHING is as it was 50 years ago !
