Oh right..so now Ferrari is offering to open up their pit-to-car comms and race strategy, we hear sceptics... how helpful

If anything, opening up strategy isn't a good idea because it simply kills off another area in which Ferrari outsmart others. Other teams would simply know the strategy of Ferrari or rival teams. But i guess with standard fuel pump, it's not too hard to make an educated guess from the Pit-times.

And opening up the pit-to-car is good. And it'd stop all the rubbish from critics who allege Brawn/MS of ordering RB to slow down at every race.

Aimed at me?

I take it you didn't watch Sky Digi in 2002? What i say is correct. During that season, the only time we heard anything broadcast from Ferrari was on Michaels slow down lap, after he won, incidently, we didn't hear any of Rubens "praises" after the races he won. Wonder why that is?

Now Ross thinks it's a good idea, just wondering why he didn't think that 2 years ago, and has now changed his mind?

Seems very convenient doesn't it?

Wrex · 29 May 2004, 18:02 (Ref:987427)

Must be because they are losing now. Hang on a sec....

Lets make it even more realistic so the fans can relate to it....the driver has to get out the car and fill from a regular pump, then queue up to pay only to get behind someone buying their lotto tickets....

.....for a syndicate.....!

JOKE!

It is a Saturday!

Knowlesy · 29 May 2004, 19:59 (Ref:987533)

Shhhhh! Don't say that.......if Max is reading, he'll probably implement it. He calls it "being in touch with the fans".

Well actually he has called for the fuel tactics and in car radios to be made available to the fans to make it more insteresting... as described by f1-live.com these have been refered to "transparent" tactics....

http://f1.racing-live.com/en/headlin...28210518.shtml

Good idea? my opinion is that during a race it adds to the excitment not knowing when the leader is going to pit and who is on what strategy! making this available to the fans and more importantly to rival teams will take the little edge we have in the sport today!

How many F1 team managers would tune into the TV's to watch and hear what the other teams stratagies are?

What's to stop it?

Great idea though. They do it in NASCAR and it helps liven things up a little.

Imagine Montoya at the french GP last year "*bleep ble bleep ble ble ble bleep."

....maybe thats why we don't get a picture of Wrex

this is a dumb idea if they really think they need to entertain fans that bad than they are obviously out of touch with the fans like us who still follow the races, we seem to have been forgotten lately for the ones who don't watch anymore. Sure some of us complain but as far as I know from hanging around here it doesn't seem like the majority have stopped watching

SKWei · 30 May 2004, 05:08 (Ref:987772)

You know only two F1 teams encrypt their radio communications: One is Jordan, who use a straightforward analogue audio inversion system. The other? Why it's Ferrari! And they use digital transmission with 128 digital encryption. They are far and away the least accessible of radio transmissions. Maybe Ross could try work on this internally rather than just saying so to the press!

**Adam43** · 30 May 2004, 07:53 (Ref:987815)

As mentioned we have had it before - on Digital+ (ideal station for it with its alternate commentary. We had quite a lot of Williams radio. Juan was on a lot and yes they did need a bleeper! Hardly ever heard Ralf (nothing to say?). Again, as mentioned, we did get Ferrari, but only after a Michael win. Why not Rubens, well it wasn't every race and I guess only Michael had his scripted thank you ready

SKWei · 30 May 2004, 10:48 (Ref:988017)

Also, didn't BBC Five Live have Williams radio comms from time to time?

There we go then Mr Prawn, your silly idea is now rendered useless!

I like the pit radio idea though.....good stuff.

I don't know what the rules are now - but last year the broadcasters could tune into pit to car radio and I think were able to broadcast it too - I remember listening in to the pit to car radio in Malaysia last yr and Radio 5 Live definately used it - Very enlightening, completely changed my opinion of DC at the time too. It is def something fans would find very interesting.

Yes

Red · 30 May 2004, 16:42 (Ref:988416)

I surely want to hear todays Williams' (both of them).

Super Tourer · 30 May 2004, 18:21 (Ref:988479)

LOL - I think being a fly on the wall at Williams or McLaren-Mercedes would make good listening...

Red · 30 May 2004, 18:25 (Ref:988485)

Right! I forgot the Macs. Though Kimi banging his helmet pretty much told everything!

PS: Is it me or David is really enjoying to ride in that truck?
