Fook RBR!

Yay!




Yeah, I wish.

I like this part:
Someone is giving RBR the finger here, which I like.

 

Webber got hosed again

 

So an ingenious engineer (Newey) found an advantage under the old rules. What makes you think he won't find one under the new ones? RBR has out driven and out thought them for a while. Until major players change there, or someone from another team gets a better idea, I don't know if things will change. I see the new engine rules being a far better chance RBR slips down the rankings

 

Convenient, isn't it. I still think something's fishy here.

I'm sure they (he) will figure something out, I simply like that the FIA are changing up the rules knowing RBR were using this to their advantage. What I don't understand is why they didn't have both cars utilizing the same technology, unless RBR figured it would cause a lot of attention having 2 cars dominate. I still do not believe Vettel is responsible solely for the wins.

 

I do believe there's a lot of engineering witchcraft responsible for their domination.

I think webber (or whomever is in the 2nd car) is constantly driving the next "prototype" of their witchcraft. Whenever it's stable and working, webber wins or finishes 2nd. At other times it craps out and he gets hosed. In this way, they are constantly testing and developing on the fly with the 2nd car, and using the 1st car to dominate with the mature technology.

This makes a LOT of sense, having seen how companies like to test engineering prototypes.

 

I hope that with the wrap up of the season, teams focus more on all out weekend challenges than season arcs.

 

Streaming FP2 right now on SkySports -- Jonnie Herbert is interviewing Jackie Stewart. Pretty cool.

Also, heard a rumor this morning that this will be Webber's last race, that they'll put Ricciardo in the RBR for the last two, and Kyvit in the toro rosso. god would that be a frickin shame.

 

Since they have the constructors wrapped up, and there is no testing (moronic move FIA.) it makes sense.
Yet another reason to hate RBR. As if I needed one.
