Lot to say on Schumacher, Benetton, 1994 season and beyond... Not now, another time.

intriguing Lucio - is it libellous?

The website Administrator will be presenting a pair of Gandy's McLaren flip-flops to everyone correctly predicting race winners.
An equal number of Ferrari flip-flops donated by Gandy mysteriously disappeared from Rene's storage closet. Anyone having knowledge is requested to stay quiet.

There are many extremely talented individuals in this world whose success causes them to think they are immortal and that they should win at everything they do every time. When they suddenly realise that they are not going to win this particular time, their sudden anger at being bested, drives them to make decisions without thinking through the consequences. In a racing car this decision is instantaneous, in a board room or office, much slower, but it happens all the same.
To my mind, Ecclestone and Mosely are directly responsible for the modern ills of F1. Thanks to the likes of Roebuck et al I was led to believe that Balestre was the evil knight. Now I am not so sure.
I now hear that they are thinking of a pre qualifying race and they want 21 to 25 GPs per year. I don't think Liberty understand the basic laws of supply and demand. Every race added to the Grand Prix championship calendar devalues the others. There is so much sport available that everything just becomes a blur and meaningless. Back in the 90s I knew every winner of every grand prix from 1963 to the current date. Now, if it wasnt for the fact that WDCs tend to be won in clusters, I would have difficulty remembering which year so and so won the championship, let alone which GPs.

Now I am not so sure. The decision by Mosley to sell F1 commercial rights for 100 (!) years to Ecclestone was the key step. I do not dare to imagine what the British press would have done - not just written - had the same agreement been made by two Italian nationals. They would have brought back to life Al Capone and Michael Corleone.

Quite right Lucio, selling those rights to that odious little prick was the beginning of the end.
But to be fair to the British press, that decision was widely pilloried and rightly so.
Forgive the language chaps.....

Lots of opinions out there and it would be interesting to hear an engineers point of view.....presuming that the traction control issue is one of the key points 👍
