Tony Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Their are no driver aids... Unless a semi-auto gearbox is a driver aide in your opinion.Got to be honest lost track over last couple of seasons, do they have a clutch now that they have to lift with there foot? yes i do call semi autos driver aids, same as abs power steering & any form of ecu programing for different circuits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Don't get me wrong Massa is an amazing driver and i'm not going to lie i'm a big Hamilton fan, but the point is Hamilton was consistantly amazing all last year and in my eyes deserved the championship. But he won because he played the system and was better than the other people playing the same system. If the system changes that doesn't mean different people will win, just means they have to drive in a different way, the goals have moved as it were but Hammy's still got a good striking foot so still got every chance of winning it again.

Scoboblio Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I really don't understand the need for the change, wasn't the championship being decided by the last corner of the last race exciting enough for Bernie? Looking forward to seeing what happens though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are out of touch like you say. The drivers have a huge amount to do as they race. Adjust the front wing, use the KERS, adjust the brake balance, control the map...it's not like because they have semi-auto gearboxes they are twiddling their thumbs. With no TC/ABS and punchy V8's they have their hands full and the balance of technology vs driver skill is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect to see more "rote-car-reglen" German for "red car rules" What germans call it when the stewards penalize a car or come up with a new rule when some one(Mclaren-Mercedes) Overtakes a Red painted car with a prancing horse on it.

Scoboblio Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 It's only a matter of time...... "We've decided that next year, the car with the reddest paint will win. That way, we're getting straight to the point and won't waste anyone's time with pointless rule changes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 that was the teams point, no rule change like that can be brought in at short notice unless all the teams agree. The F1 people told the FIA that all teams were in agreement, obviously the teams didnt agree!! JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
