Ash 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2005 Apparently, if Ferrari doesn't succeed with another title this season (and certainly hope they don't), then they are going to approach Max and the FIA to add a new rule from 2006 ie that all races to be conducted on artificially dampened tracks. The FIA will surely buy into it and will tell the teams that it will slow the car down as well as project better entertainment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ksajoe 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2005 We need a minimum of three solidly wet GPs. We haven't seen that for a while and I miss the mayhem! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2005 Wet races aren't dangerous. People are more likely to slide off the track, but not have huge life-threatening accidents. I can't remember the last time someone got injured in a wet race. The only injuries in the last few years have been Burti, Zonta, Sarrazin, all in dry races!

Taku 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2005 spa had a bit of rain and it produced the race of the year imo. rain is all good, regardless of the supposed bridgestone tyre advantage. it always mixes things up and i love that. and it was their inter tyre that was streaks ahead before.

nojvnof1 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Brazil '03 was a freak race. All the drivers who went off at turn 3 went off as there was a constant river running across there due to poor drainage and the rest of the track was drying little by little. Webber had his off cos he was stupid and went off line into a puddle and lost it whilst Alonso was plain reckless by not acknowledging the yellow flags. Ash, in all seriousness I'd put money that Ferrari at least made such a proposal so as to "improve the spectacle of the sport!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said he cannot prove that Max is corrupted by money but he's sure Max is corrupted by power.

AutoRacer5 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 I think that this is why Ferrari retain their dominance, by this test. No other teams went out hardly, but Ferrari were working on their wet-weather set-ups. Thise is why Ferrari are so dominant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ksajoe 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 You would expect a company that lags behind in wet-tyre development (Michelin)to jump at the chance of collecting more data when the opportunity presents itself. How are they ever going to get ahead of bridgestone in that area - possibly never because we might see the return of one tyre supplier in 2006. But I think the teams that sat it out were not prepared for changing weather conditions - only had dry weather sets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
