what the tire outrage means to me...
1 ... I feel really sorry for the other Bridgestone runners... having a tire optimized for Ferrari did not seem to me to be such a bad thing.. until I started reading about how they are narrower than they need to be with a different profile... designed to maximize the aerodynamics. Sorry Sauber .. Sorry BAR we don't care if you need the extra grip... Ferrari needs the Airflow.. no they wont share the Aero data... too bad Avon wont make a grooved tire. 2 ... IF I understand correctly under the rules as they have been interperated to date the tires have been legal... the FIA is certainly allowed to change the way the rules are interperated to address any sort of loop-holes that have been found... That has nothing to do with cheating, the whole point of regulations is that anything not specifically forbidden is allowed. I find it funny though that when the changed the way the rules were interperated and it seemed to penalize Ferrari it was "Formula England" and the "FIA sucks!" but now its in Ferraris favor then its "Yea! they're a bunch of cheaters!" Realistically Michelin should do what they seem to have done... see that their loop-hole was closed, suck it up and bring a slightly different tire to the next race. Ferrari is certainly allowed to bitch and whine about what they see as a disadvantage, and if they can convince the FIA then fine.. (I make no judgements about the timing nor about any perceived bias by the FIA...) 3 ... The biggest problem to come out of the whole thing is that for the first time in a long time MS is not winning everything... and now his fans are going to do the "OH He only lost because they all cheated!" forever... And I gotta say that there is nothing more annoying than an Ignorant Tifauxi... (I was a Ferrari Fan and will be one again as soon as the current crop of morons fades away...) I don't really care who wins but I hope it isn't Ferrari |
