I haven’t heard of him either, which probably makes us even since I doubt he’s ever heard of *me!

“Salary Caps??” What rubbish! Those are just accounting exercises that already do not work as envisioned in a number of pro sports.
The basic assumption made therein is completely wrong: in F1 its not about the value of “talents.” Its about MARKETING, and marketing is all about the face on TV, not the guys in the shop that actually make it happen!

Peugeot using Ferrari’s (non-existant) KERS? Shouldn’t it be the other way round, since the 908HY exists, whereas a Ferrari F1 car with KERS doesn’t?

As a Mclaren fan, I hope they continue to use the light system for their pitstops. It’s already proved a disaster, so if it can make them lose a few more races … LET THEM CARRY ON USING IT.

“We’ve analysed the mistakes made in 2008 and we’ve improved the system,” he said. “An electronic program will prevent the car from leaving when the fuel hose is still attached.”

You know what’s going to happen, don’t you. The system will malfunction and the car won’t be released even when its supposed to.

Having said that, it’s better than the status quo.

“There will be a lot of shouting about technology but if you want to look at technology go to the Farnborough Air Show!” – Lord Hesketh

Quality !

Maybe we’ve found the next FIA President :~)

Chaz – We can but hope mate, would give Schumi something to do if LDM doesn’t want him at Ferrari any more.

If I were Red Bull I’d be trying to get VW to build me an engine too, the ones inside the Veyron & Phaeton are amazing.
