The real story behind the fuel issue *SPOILERS*

Thanks for the insight and clarification. Given LH has decided to reject an appeal won WDC, hopefully we can all move on to next years circus of racing delights

 

Yep time to bring down the BIG TOP until next year

 

..why in HELL they keep on doing this...HOW can they , I guess all those mistakes are worst when locals dont speak english as a native lenguage...or else how do you explain this?...Malasya 1999 was another good example...

they dont have enough money to send a FIA certified officer to make SURE the post-race findings are accurate according to meassuring methods and all?

...or is just another GRAY environment so they can keep a hand on everything to be twisted when needed?

 

The answer to that is easy! It's because Max and Bernie are scumbag morons, and are running the show!

 

i knew this the time Kimster crossed the line. Mac aren't shy and don't seem to know how to lose in grace.

 

Thanks Andreas, great info.

 

+1
+ Thanx!

 

Oh, my avatar is Clinton? I thought it was the Dali Lahma.

Oh well.

 

There's also the fact that Hamilton was at least 10 secs behind Nick. If the BMWs and the one Williams had been running higher temp fuel, would it have been enough to allow Hamilton a chance to race them? I don't think so. Worst case scenario. the FIA disqualifies the BMWs and the Williams, but doesn't move Hamilton any spots. That's actually in the regs, so the FIA can do that. Still though, Mclaren really just seem bent on dragging Ferrari through all this drama for no good reason other than revenge. I hope that $100 fine really hurts them next year. And next year any little BS Mclaren pulls (ie like the slight block Hamilton did on Kimi in Q3), Ferrari should protests, appeal, protest, appeal etc.

 

yeah I did a search on "Jo Bauer FIA" the other day when this rubbish started and it came up with all the scrutineering done by the FIA all year as he is the main technical guy for the FIA, some interesting results as to who ddi what in Parc Ferme and other insights as to how many cars are checked pre and post races .... worth a quick look

 

The difference between 37C and 33C is 4 degrees. Thought the rule says max is 10 degrees. Huh?

Help. What's the deal here?

 

Let me understand what you're suggesting here. McLaren are to be condemned for appealing this year but you think Ferrari should do the same thing at every possible opportunity next year? Two wrongs don't make a right.

 

Sounds like the people at McL and F1 don't have enough to do. As Shakespeare said, "Much ado about nothing."

Thanks for your post and input. Much appreciated. it is not unusual for themometers to differ by 1 degree. 3 degrees is suspect. Of course measuring in the shade or sun, in or out of the wind, with a beer in your hand, etc. are all variables that have to be accounted for. Any pit babes nearby?

 

We have a saying in the 1/24 slot car racing world:

'Do not implement a rule you cannot enforce'.

 

I don't think he said he would reject it.

He said:

I personally don't think he will refuse to accept the WDC title if it is given to him. He will say something like "Well, it isn't ideal, but thank you".

 

I'm not sure that he could refuse it even if he wants to. He might elect not to participate in any official presentation but if the authorities say he's the world champion there's not much he could do about it. However, I don't think it will happen - for the sake of the sport I hope not.
