Hey, No idea where this was sourced from; Quoted from Pitpass, but they don't give a source. Anyone else heard this? Did I just miss it? It's buried deep in here; pitpass - It's Complicated If you're into the legal machinations of the FIA & European legal system it's a pretty interestng read...... If not, not so much.... Cheers, Ian
+1 If true..... Generally, Pitpass is a pretty good source, but this just kinda slipped in to the article. As I said, certainly haven't seen it reported elsewhere...... Cheers, Ian
Ferrari. If full-blown testing were to return Ferrari would return to dominance. Too bad it's only 4 sessions, but I guess it's better than nothing.
Testing will be so incredibly important next year of all years due to the very different torque generation from the new motors. I'm wondering if once they have things hashed out a bit with the new motors if testing will go away again.....
Not comparable at all. Once the Old Man died and the super group of Todt, Brawn and MS was assembled, Ferrari completely changed the way they did things, and became 1000x more organized and professional than they were prior. Being able to pound around Fiorano was an integral part of winning 6 WCCs in a row. They're close to the top now, but incessant wind tunnel correlation issues in the no-testing era have cost them dearly. If full blown testing were to return, the importance of the wind tunnel would take a back seat to real on-track data and I have little doubt it would usher in a new golden age for the Tifosi.
Confirmed! Woo-hoo! Maybe they listened to "us"! It's gonna be "our" much mooted post-race test after four of the Euro rounds; That I didn't know!.... Bernie's once again got 'em by the short & curly's. I guess the tracks could charge admission, provide somewhat better access and it could be televised, but having done a lot of testing over the years, it's pretty boring unless you know what's going on. Cheers, Ian Whitmarsh reckons in-season testing won't mean huge hike in costs - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com
Ya but don't count on being able to watch it in North America cause other sports like curling are more entertaining
I very much doubt it'll be televised anywhere TBH. Probably Autosport or similar will post almost real time timing data, but in fairness, as I said, it is pretty boring in general.... They all follow their own programs, low fuel, high fuel, long runs, short runs, hi & low D/F etc etc.... Unless you know what's going on (ie, are in a garage with a headset), very little to see/follow. Cheers, Ian
