  17. he does say 'obviously' a lot strangly, its usually about things that are not so obvious
  18. That whole senna hearing the traction control story is such rubbish, I dont think anybody but the very simple believe that crap. And the word 'illegal' is used a bit liberally in formula 1. Flexi wings are 'illegal' but here we are. Renault mass damper suddenly became 'illegal' after 18 months of scrutineering and FIA approval. The FIA finding something new on F1 cars and then banning them doesnt always make it illegal in the first place. And the example of Michelin equiped cars dominating is yet another example of 'the package' being far more important than the guy driving it. Ferrari had the choice of switching much like anybody else. They chose not to, and it cost them badly. Bridgestone were basically designing a tyre to suit ferraris needs and to hell with what the rest wanted. Ferrari as a result had no chance of being able to out-test Renault, Mclaren, Willams etc throughout the season. The sheer amount of feedback for future development that Michelin was able to amass crushed bridgestone. Once again, the overdeveloped tyre was the dominant one. The only thing that brought Ferrari/bridgestone back was a joint cry that the michelin's were flexing in such a way under high speed loading that they were receiving an unfair advantage, and the FIA magically agreed. Ferraris win streak wasnt 'only' about money and testing, but i think that it played a much more significant role than either of the drivers would ever play
  19. A benetton with traction control does do wonders... and punting williams' The multi year fuzz winning run was, like i said, a culmination of running around Fiorano endlessly and big dollars. A year in year out over developed car. Which is why i and much of the f1 community took so much happyness in Fernando winning the '05 WDC in such a comparatively less well funded and resouce rich team.
  20. Eh, give anybody an overly developed car and they'll win the title now. All these guys are just as good as each other given the right circumstance. Look at Button in that Brawn for example. Schui was the same. A car with unlimited testing is always going to cream the competition. These guys are as interchangeable as my socks
  21. Keep in mind that Senna was 34 when he died, so as horrible as it was was, he's F1 career was much closer to its end than you might think. Its not as if he had two or three good years, had his crash and we therefore missed out on a young talent. Most guys are long retired by their mid thirties, so i like to think that we got the the best years out of him, and then had a tragic end to a great story.
