Obviously you didn't read the article in the opening post. LH is referring to driver data. Not car performance related data.


To anyone who doesn't agree with LH's view. If you were a race car driver, and you showed up a day early, went out on track as much as physically possible, found every tenth there was available by working your arse off getting ready for the race.

Then your team mate, who happens to be your biggest rival, shows up an hour or two before race start, looks at your data that YOU worked your arse off to figure out, and beats you on race day! How would you feel?

Do you think that's fair? Your knowledge, skills and an advantage gained by your hard work and efforts, was shared with someone who wouldn't put in as much time and effort as you did, and have them beat you??

As for self interest, ummm... since when has racing not been all about self interest?? Racing drivers, on track, are some of the most selfish people you will come across. If not for self interest, why bother being a "racing driver"??
