Well,it could be argued that Ferrari wouldn't be doing half as well if last years tyre rule was still in place.RedBull FERRARI,for whatever reason,voted in favour of tyre changes at one of those meetings they have,and swung the decision in favour of tyre changes.Why they should do this when Michelin clearly had an advantage is beyond me.

So now we have tyre changes because along with refuelling it clearly adds to the excitement of a GP. *sarcasm*

The post-2002 qualifying changes were also deigend to help Ferrari.

Let us not forget the 2005 longlife tyres rule, as it was designed to help Ferrari.

You would have thought so considering the amount of testing they did.

I'm just glad that a couple of the other teams managed to get their engines reliable before the June 2006 homologation cut-off. I wonder if this homologation reg would have come about if Ferrari were still having reliability problems (more wood on fire).

Not sure if anyone has seen the American series 'Suits' but in its 3rd episode, there is a Midland F1 car which is a centrepiece to the story. Engines are supplied to that car from a fictitious mob called 'McKernon Motors' and in the workshop, there are several undressed F1 show engines, one of which has a Mugen-esque logo on the rocker cover

Funny how an old F1 car was used as a backdrop for a series set in New York.. and that there are Honda bits and pieces in the background.

Its worth a look, just to see whats what...

Don't you think it is preferable to starting a new thread?

It at least comes with a background history and for me at least, a good refresher in the subject. Where a new thread tends to re-invent the wheel and plod through a lot of ground we have already covered.

At 8am or whenever I read it, with sleepy eye the idea of a series called 'Sluts' seemed a feasible one. In the cold light of day it seems even better...

watched the first couple of episodes up til the "F1" episode. can't say i have ever seen a show (at least a NAmerican show) that even makes mention of F1. they even referenced the 8 engine a year rule!

not a bad show either. thanks for the info.
