    I haven't seen the letter. Link?
    Corporate boards operate quietly, but listen closely.

    In that money has in some ways ruined the sport maybe a bit of austerity will be good.

    Its in the Bahrain thread, and apparently he's not just some employee. But the ex-boss.

    Cheers,

    Thanks

    I imagine that given their bad press on environmental issues and public sensitivity to high pump prices and huge profits petro companies arent keen on seeing F1 involvement become a liability.

    Great job by RB to make their car competitive in the short week whereas Ferrari have to wait until Europe to bring out their major mods....too bad everyone else will most likely take a step forward too....IMHO Fred n kimi did the right thing in saving their tires...

    Alternate theory: Pirelli is behind the unrest. To distract how their POS tires are ruining the racing.

    With tires like these we don't need sprinklers to create chaos.

    You mean Clifford's season I presume?

    *Long* way to go yet - They'll be pushing really hard at the Mugello test - If Clifford's still not behaving after that, then I agree, they're in for a long season.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    "Clifford" - A big red dog. [Google it ;)] Apparently, it got the name from someone in the press early in testing.

    Bernie denies any involvement! [Yeah, right!]

    Disingenuous at best......

    Michael has lots of tires left... if degradation is as bad as they predict,... he may be in the catbird seat.

    Channeling Claude Raines as Inspector Renault?

    He must really think that we're idiots.

    Only one Lettuce but two Cliffords..... ;)

    Now, I'm still trying to work out the latest Isobel'ism; "Babalu"

    I *guess* she's referring to Ricciardo, but only given the context of her post; http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=141386511&postcount=130

    ??

    Cheers,

    Damn, she's good! ;)

    I may have said this before - We kinda need a sticky with Isobel'isms listed......

    Yeah, is it odd that I am more happy for STR and Sauber than ashamed of Ferrari......to see the arrows truly are competitive is wonderful IMHO as well. I am enjoying the nature of this years championship.
