Movable Floors

[race aficionado]

he he!

It didn't take long for this to appear.

In Nascar they complain of "timely" late debris cautions and in F1 of course, how could it be without the cheating allegations.

It's going to be a long three weeks.

With the new season, comes new allegations of the Ferrari racecar being outside the rules from other teams. This time there are claims, possibly from McLaren, that the floor of the F2007 is a moveable aerodynamic device.

the main problem is, FIA will not bring in a nice and sensible black and white verdict on it. they will wait to see and if Ferrari dominates too bad, then, they might just bann it. Untill then it will be tolerated because FIA arent that concerned about black and white rules or being fair, they are concerned about TV figures.

Same story as Renault's mass-dampers last year that were equaly legal and illegal depending on how the championship was going.

Time will tell.

However from the article it doesn't sound like Ron is calling Ferrari out. To me it sounded like he's stating that at the beginning of a season the FIA often times reels in some of the liberties teams have taken while designing the new car.

It didn't take long this year. Throw in the customer car issue and it looks like were in for another year of mud slinging.

ron dennis is the bigger idiot in f1.sorry mclaren funs but you all have to admit that he is angry with all people out there,first heidfeld because he uses low fuel to start the race and soft tyres! so what?? is his choice mr dennis!
he wasnt blocking your drivers and nothing he did is against the rules! someone have to make him shut up

I'll be waiting to see a car whose floor doesn't move

[RJL25]

in other words, ferrari's floor moves MORE then everyone elses does

[race aficionado]

Well, the whole F1 car is itself a moveable aerodynamic device, so doesn't that make all of them cheats?


sorry . . . . . it's a slow evening . . . .

R/A both NA$CAR and Formula 1 are more concerned with TV ratings (entertainment)... than they are about running auto racing as a Sport !!!

Ron's just being Ron... always complaining about one thing or another.
