QUOTE(Raikkonen @ Sep 14 2007, 04:55 AM) Booooo.... ahhh i LOL at this remarks.... so lets see...Unfair verdict...they should lost the drivers points too.

A bit premature but... HAIL! FERRARI THE 2007 FORMULA ONE WORLD CONSTRUCTORS CHAMPION i. Massa messed up his qualifying in Aussie.... whose fault? Mclaren ka? ii. Massa completely messed up his overtaking move on lewis at Sepang... whose fault? Mclaren ka? iii. kimi messed up his quali run in Monaco... whose fault? Mclaren ka? iv. Massa retires at Monza... whose fault? Mclaren ka? v. Massa DQ at Montreal... whose fault? vi. Massa stalled on the grid at Silverstone and had to start from pit lane...whose fault? Mclaren ka? and if you say that Mclaren is the fastest car because of the stolen documents, let see the stat... so far we have 13 races : Fastest lap (race) : Raikkonen (5), Massa ( 4), Hamilton (1), Alonso (3) |

QUOTE(car_o_scope @ Sep 14 2007, 08:58 AM) Regarding the performance though, we couldn't judge who's better and whether it is because of the usage of the stolen documents. Only the key personnel in the teams know it well, right? well in my post, i want to point out that one of the reason why a Ferrari driver is not on top of the drivers' championship table. Its more their own fault rather than Mclaren's, imo.If you recalled in many of the post qualifying interview, the Mclaren duo always stressed that the Ferraris is more faster in race trim. so Mclaren have Ferrari documents, surely Ferrari still have a copy of the documents right? Is ferrari did nothing to improve their car? Is ferrari designer stupid? i dont think so. |

QUOTE(young_soul @ Sep 14 2007, 09:38 AM) that isn't the main point of this debate isn't it? Yes, Ferrari drivers made a ton of mistakes this season but I can say its their effort to keep up with McLaren's "sudden" form of reliability...which the people (non-McLaren fans) are saying that they stole critical information from Ferrari to improve on. You have to remember that this season and last season, FIA have limited the rpm plus the 1 engine two GP rule. So engine has to last a lot longer.This rule wasnt imposed during Mika's time.Added on September 14, 2007, 11:33 am QUOTE(Amanda85 @ Sep 14 2007, 10:47 AM) yup...kimi n massa did messed up abit.. are you 100% sure on that? I will like to know which part of Ferrari document did Mclaren incorporate into Mclaren's car design.but if mclaren didn't got ferrari document, they won't be so fast either, getting all d better qualifying times... even if massa n kimi dnf few races...they still can beat all d rest (if not becoz of mclaren ****) Please dont simply bash.

QUOTE(young_soul @ Sep 14 2007, 11:07 AM) Rev limit does help the engineers a little but that is also just speculation. How can you prove that it did indeed help the McLaren engineers with engine reliability? Any reports? The engineers and the driver can control how high the engine rev. This is called engine mapping IIRC. This work in two ways : 1. the engineer in the pit wall can remotely set the engine setting. 2. the driver himself can set it thru buttons on his steering wheel. Thats why after qualifying, sometimes race engineer will say " Okay lewis, please set to G4"- thats to keep the rev down and prolong engine life. So, lets say Mclarens have 10 set of engine mapping. 10 for hi rev, 1 for low rev. So in the race, if let say alonso wants to pass coulthard, he will set the engine mapping to 10. and if stucked behind safety car, the driver can set the engine mapping to 1, to burn less fuel. |

QUOTE(Raikkonen @ Sep 14 2007, 11:44 AM) Result is out. yeah, guilty of possesing Ferrari document. But the interesting part i like to know now whether Mclaren use the info on their car.They're GUILTY. Let's move on Yadda...yadda...yadda...too bad not expelled for two(2) years. We'll see how they appeal. But blaming 100% Mclaren won a race because of cheating, for me its 100 % unfair. Ferrari should look into why the y have been performing in the first place. Maybe schumi replacement is over rated? |

QUOTE(young_soul @ Sep 14 2007, 12:11 PM) I don't get it...engine lasting longer actually reduces engine reliability doesn't it? How is this related to Mika's time when the engine rule that time wasn't as strict as currently. Okay, during Mika's time there is no rule : If you change your engine during race weekend, you have to start at the back of the grid.So back then, it was common if a driver change sometimes up to 3 times without incurring any penalty. In F1, your aim is to squeeze all the performance of out the engine. Teams would usually runs their engine sometimes at 105 ~ 110 %. Back then in Mika time, V10 engine rev could reach 20,000 rpm and sometimes over it. Just search for onboard vid of Mika wunder move on Schumi at Spa... and see how much the engine revved. Today, F1 car have V8 engine with rev limit at 18,000 rpm rite? Added on September 14, 2007, 3:39 pm QUOTE(sleepy @ Sep 14 2007, 03:18 PM) Just to add my own point of view. The MP4-22's engine development started mid-last year. Ferrari data obtained on March 2007. Season starts on 2nd week of March 2007. So this means from the day the docs were received, there's only 2 weeks time to implement things onto the car to make it reliable, before the race starts. Assuming the FO108T is really a piece of unreliable crap, do you think the McLaren engineers will be able to turn that around, with the Ferrari docs and ONLY 2 WEEKS TIME, and make it reliable enough to last 2 GP's? I don't think so. good one ! Come one ppl. In 2004, the Mercedes power plant was a piece of crap in terms of power and reliability. In 2005, they managed to make it go fast but not reliable enough. For 2006, it's "quite" reliable, but still lack of speed. In 2007, they managed to find the best reliability/speed ratio, making it both fast (not necessarily fastest, since the Ferrari's outpace it in most cases) and reliable and you call that cheating?

AFAIK, if the changes within the current years' tech spec rules need not be reported.teams usually have updates on their car for each different track isn't it? So does this mean that McLaren will have to report to the WMSC everytime before using any new parts? |

QUOTE(Raikkonen @ Sep 15 2007, 02:13 PM) Definitely. eh stop acting like Ferrari is squeaky clean. Ferrari have done a lot of controversy in the past and yet their sponsor stick with them.Ron Dennis..."We're pulling our drivers and entire team out until 2008!" He hasn't said it yet, but there is nothing left to be done but to do so. Here's how I look at it... "IF" Ron was ignorant of this whole mess and he is half the man he claims to be (no team orders, we're an honorable team, etc. etc.), then he has no choice but to retire the team from this year's racing. "IF" however, he was complicit, then he must also retire his team anyway because it's the best way to minimize the damage already done to the sport. THE CAR AND TEAM IS ILLEGAL... FULL STOP!!! All the world knows it, but the FIA is too soft/moronic to know what needs to be done. Any man worth his salt would simply throw in the towel and try again next year (after also sacking Alonzo, PDR, Caughlin, and anyone else who was privy to the Ferrari info within the team). A complete purge is necessary to make things right. Nothing less will do if Ron cares at all about the future of the sport. Come on Ron...show us what caliber of man you are! We're waiting... Since they're guilty...sure it'll effect the sponsors such as Santander (bank). Oh i forgot.... you dont care bout what ferrari did before yes? because you were Mclaren supporter last season.... |

QUOTE(kapitan @ Sep 15 2007, 04:19 PM) I really dont get it. Why are we still debating this topic. because....... Ferrari fanboys here still blaming Mclaren for their unexpected performance this season. I admit and totally agree with FIA's findings. But ferrari fanboys should look at their drivers performance this year.Everyone is spying one another. Ferrari tap McLaren lines and McLaren tap Ferrari lines (read F1-Live article about Kimi report to FIA). At the end of the day, its all about fair play. Even though McLaren did use the data, Im still wondering whether its possible to really use them on their cars without any problem.) Its even more surprising to see that Ferrari data has better effect than it does on a Ferrari car. Hahaha. Anyway, what has been done, was done and we all have to accept the fact whether like it or not. I still support F1, for the technology, excitement, media and personality it brings. We just hope that we wont see the same case again next year. FIA decide to punish McLaren. Thats it. Its useless to punish the drivers because they are not the one who triggered the espionage. I think Ron Dennis should be punished for letting it happened in his camp although he reiterate his innocent. This is not Malaysia. Tak tau attitude sounds ridiculous to me. They claimed that Mclaren cars is faster because of the stolen data. let see : Pole : Raikkonen (2), Massa (5), Alonso (2), Hamilton (4) Fastest lap : Raikkonen (5), Massa (4), alonso (3), hamilton (1) Its human nature, blaming others while ignoring self inadquatcy.... |
