Default Ferrari will never learn

http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2009/02/23/ferr...t-light-system/

I have never seen an F1 race won by .1 second in recent times. I think once....Senna if I am not mistaken. Other than that....its a snooze fest to the race finish. This system blew Massa's title.

at the finish I agree with you but exiting the pits that tenth can matter.

but I do hate the electronic system.
One of the jobs of the lollipop guy is knowing where the car passing the pit is.
The unique perspective of standing at the front of the car is not replicated anywhere else on the grid.

so if they go back to using the electronic toy does this mean they have one less guy over the wall?

So much Ferrari hate... And the irony is, what breeds this hate, is the fact that they are such a winning team.

Yup - funny thing is that teams without this system made pit mistakes too...nobody calling for an end to the lollipop man.
