Not quite true.....so are you.

I don't want to sound rude, but nobody forces Flav to develop KERS or the diffusers. Its his choice. To be on top is expensive. Check how many people worked at Brawn GP.

It's notable that when Renault spent money developing J-dampers they had no moral problem about the advantage it gave them. Now the boot's on the other foot, so to speak, and lo and behold we have a typical Flavio reaction.

FLAMBOYANT TEAM PRINCIPAL IN OUTSPOKEN TIRADE SHOCK

Who would have thought it?

What next?

"RON DENNIS MANGLES THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE REVELATION"?

"JEAN TODT IN SINGLE-MINDED QUEST TO WIN"?

Doesn't sound like an "Arse" to me.

That's because you take time to read and think about what he said, before furiously grabbing the keyboard and start calling him names. ;)

On the other hand, it is fun to see him so angry :lol:

Let's see with what money will Brawn GP continue developing their cars. I bet Renault can outspend them easily, now and forever.

PS: Why don't you try to reason a bit taking into account the present world's realities?

It's also notable that there was no world wise economic recession back in 2005 and 2006, not to mention a 30 million spending cap looming at the horizon.

If we start talking about facts than let's consider everything not only one side.

Nor me. The absurdity of the FIA imposing a costly KERS system on the teams is certainly a good discussion topic, as is the whole budget capping issue but IIRC there are threads about these already.

But that is what Flavio is talking about in the link posted by you in the opening post of the thread. Shouldn't you call this thread the "Flavio bashing thread!" and this way we would know that there is no use trying to discuss what he said?
