We'll have more of this until they come up with some other weird artificial gizmo to counter it .
At some point they'll have to ban butterflies and moths from the track area because of the turbulence they cause .
erm...not sure what you are talking about
the grosjean sainz thing was a marginal racing incidents and more likely Carlos simply turning in with no regard to his surroundings.
I've read through all these posts and tbh none of them have anything to do withe aero or turbulence or whatever.
If that were the case all 20 drivers would be banging into each other demolition derby style
Why is it so hard to accept that in both cases the ferrari drivers were completely at fault?
and due to some suspect race stewardship they both managed to come off easy in effectively punting off their main rival.
If it were the other way around you would be screaming bloody murder not finding some intricate way to apportion blame on aero packaging.
While i do agree that both incidents in france and england were not intentional, it is the severity of the punishment that leaves a lot to be desired.
I think vettel only got a 5sec penalty for france. and Kimi got a 10 second one in silverstone. That is nowhere near sufficient for either of those incidents,
The only conspiracy i see is an unwillingness by the fIA and the race stewards to met out proper punishment in order to manipulate the competition at the top.
