cavallino 2 Report post Posted October 5, 2006 The problem is pabloh the precendent isn't good, there is a lot two cars driving in tandem can do, on most tracks they can just overtake any chance of overtaking for any other car altogether. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean Cav, but I think it's just an isolated incident due to the conditions seen during the race. Hell, on a normal track they can't even overtake, let alone orchestrating driving side by side!! As I say, Cav, I'm all for it & I just hope that if Ferrari do something similar then they won't be castigated for it because nobody batted an eyelid about Renault doing it. The other questions I have to ask is what would have happended if one of them sneezed when they were driving side by side - could have been a serious accident!!

Would have been hilarious. I doubt whether teams will use this tactic much as it is obviously quite dangerous and risky, as the team-mates could easily collide with each other. In China I guess its ok cos its a very very long and wide straight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
