Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 Last week it was alleged by a few sites that Adrian Sutil had been involved in an incident in a nightclub following the Chinese GP, the circumstances of which were unclear. Lewis Hamilton was also in attendance but was apparently escorted from the scene by bodyguards. Apparently legal proceedings have now been launched against Sutil for GBH: http://adamcooperf1....egal-complaint/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly. Hopefully. Not that I don't dislike Hülkenberg, because I do, but from a driving perspective, I've defended Sutil for years and after the end to last season and the beginning to this one, I'd have to say I was wrong in seeing what I thought I was seeing. And from the perspective of him as a criminal, well, Adrian himself said he "didn't mean to do it," which means he did indeed do it, so...**** him. Fighting someone with a champagne glass?

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 As they mention that "any other persons involved" may be sued as well, and knowing that the only other person identified is Lewis, are we facing some new gate? Good, we need more of those. As for Sutil, I ssay **** him too. No one messes with the Poochie Team, you hear me? No one! We are fierce, we are brave, we are the Poochies! Oh, Poochie Team, oh Poochie Team may your flag always wave! May it be on Kubica's op room or at Flavio's naked rave! etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caesar 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 if that interview is the one i have seen, then i will tell you that it is total bull sh!t. it is made from 'Williams F1 team' point of view and shows only their side of story. you can't find on Internet the same interview edited by someone,with many data and fatcs that were not shown in original, cause there is no need to edit it. i will not say that this one is true100% , but it shows interview from another point of view.

Caesar 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 RUMOR THAT I SAW TODAY ON FEW F1FORUMS: "Technical Directive 15 sent to all teams last week. Exhaust blowing is no longer allowed. Teams are no longer allowed to control the throttle opening when they throttle off - well, max. throttle is limited to 10% when throttle off. Valid immediately as all technical directives."

I thought that they will react on RBR flexi-wing rather than this. Is this a political decision so that Red Bull can't take away every pole position and to make races more interesting ? Probably.

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 I have a link too, yay: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/91475 Be interesting to see if it makes any meaningful difference to Red Bull. I don't know. I don't like these sudden radical change of rules. RBR can say, and not without reason, that rules are being changed with the main intention of merely hurting their chances. This is similar to the mass damper issue with Renault, the only difference being that blown diffussers are being used by more teams than mass dampers back in the day, so FIA can claim this is fair to all. But I still think it would be fairer if they just rule these devices for next season and not overnight. Everybody knew everything about these diffusers since last year so no excuse about ruling out something they just found out. I love the idea of a closer competition instead of the massive dominance of the RBRs, of course, but not at the expense of some last-minute rule change just to punish the winning team.

I agree: sudden rule changes should be avoided where possible. The FIA would argue the ban is based on grounds of costs, and the increased fuel being used. However, they could and should have banned it as soon as they knew about it (sometime last season) or preferably during the off-season. Reacting now just makes it seem like the rule is aimed at Red Bull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caesar 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2011 constant exhaust gas blow is probably used only in qualy cause engine would suffer too much so RBR's race pace is still at the same level Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
