[attachmentid=274666] nightrace some more....

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?

good one !

Ron Dennis expression is priceless...

wtf Massa doing??  nothing to loose .. just fight hard with Alonso la..

Irony was bouncing off the walls at McLaren last night when they learnt they will be under scrutiny from the Formula One equality police at the final race of the season in Brazil next week.
Responding to appeals from the Spanish Motor Sport Federation concerned about the treatment of that delicate flower, double world champion Fernando Alonso by McLaren, Formula One's ruling body, the FIA, have dispatched a special officer to Interlagos to protect the world champion from his employers.
The effrontery of the Spanish is compounded by the FIA, who in responding as they have, imply there is a case to answer. And this to protect a driver who has spent the season carping because he has not had the same special treatment he alleges is being lavished on his team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Alonso sees nothing wrong with preferential treatment in principal. It only offends when he is the one not receiving it. His beef at McLaren all season has been that he has not been treated like a double world champion, but a "normal" driver. As a rookie he could not have thought of Hamilton as anything other than a "normal" driver at the start of the season. We must assume, therefore, that in Alonso's scheme of things inequality is the base line, one that institutionally favours world champions over "normal" drivers.

And the FIA are sending out a wet nurse to look after him. Hamilton is the one who needs protecting, but he would never ask.

McLaren, whose modus operandi is predicated on equal treatment to their drivers, welcomed the move. If nothing else it will put a stop to the tiresome trail of sour grapes from Spain.

IIRC, in Neutral...car cannot move at all.
Try put your gear on 'N'...sure can't move
