please offer proof. Just cause it's hot and the driver sweats doesn't mean it's a sport.

I'd like to see how you feel about being in a 250 mph rocket on wheels that can exert upwards of 5 to 6g's of gravitational force just on your neck. You wouldn't be saying it's not a sport after that for 50 laps.

I felt so sorry for Massa after that happened... and I don't even like the guy all that much, I just thought it was about as cruel as what happened to Damon Hill at the Hungaroring back in 1997.

Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determiner of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports (a common name for some card games and board games with little to no element of chance) and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors.

Massa reminded me Damon Hill in 1997. Both made an epic race, but their engines were fucked up in the end :/

Lets please remember that Ferrari actually RAN an illegal car in last year's Australian GP.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

wow, what exactly was illegal on the f2007? C'mon guys, give me a break
The only illegal shit in f1 last year was the mcthieves

At least Hill was able to finish the race and get the six points for second. Not really any consolation considering he was up almost half a lap IN A FUCKING ARROWS just two minutes prior though.

The flexi-floor. Ignored by the FIA until McLaren (who only knew about it because of the Ferrari documents they had) asked if they would be allowed to use one too.

>The only illegal shit in f1 last year was the mcthieves

Let's not forget about Renault being caught with a bunch of McLaren technical documents, or BMW and Williams use of illegal fuel cooling in Brazil.

See, it´s not cool if it isn´t about Ferrari

pro tip: everyone in F1 "bends" the rules and always have since the 70s

Exactly. There is a distinct bias towards Ferrari in the FIA, and anyone who doesn't see it is wilfully blind. Max Mosely has even gone so far as to come just short of saying as much, explaining that, paraphrasing, 'Ferrari is, because of their history, brand, and connection, the most important team in F1, and is the only Italian manufacturer (STR is a joke). As the British president of an organization regulating a sport owned by a British citizen, composing of predominantly british teams, we have to be careful to make absolutely sure we are not to appear to favor their, primarily british, competition. We have to give them certain advantages to keep them in the sport.'

I'll try and dig up the source for that, but I am pretty sure I am remembering it correctly. I'm not a fan of Mclaren. I happen support Lewis Hamilton because I think it's a great story, and I like Heikki because he comes across as a bit nervous n interviews, like the kind of guy who is never sure people are going to laugh at his jokes. I find that hilarious and endearing. But I really don't have any inherent preference of one team or the other. All I know is that McLaren got fucked in the ass last year, and while I think they fucked up in a big way, I don't believe it was handled well, and I don't believe for a moment it was anything extraordinarily unusual behavior within the paddock.

The FIA is Ferrari biased. Not enough to make the sport not worth watching, nor enough to *really* sway things one way or the other...but it is there. Ferrari is too big, too important. It's inevitable.

Yep. Just like Mclaren are with their 4 paddle(well, 6 with clutch) steering wheel, or *everyone* with the "break duct wheel fairings" on the front wheels being stationary, but justifying the "shields" on the rear wheel as not being movable aero since they are attached to the wheel.

Rules get bent. Granted, the movable floor was not so much a bending of the *rule* as an attempt to bypass enforcement.

The worse part is that the FIA's bias isn't just there but that it's so blatant. I mean, if ANY other drive had gone around with his exhaust pipe hanging looses out the back of the car they would have been black flagged or immediately called into the pits, but because it was a Ferrari, the FIA allowed him to go on, risking other drivers, stewards, and even spectators.

And even when Kimi came into the pits and the Ferrari crew didn't remove it, the FIA still did nothing about it. Can you imagine if this had been McLaren? They'd be accused of willfully ignoring a danger and punished. But because this is Ferrari, nothing happens. This is why I cheer for Hamilton, not because I particularly like McLaren, but because I want someone to stick to Ferrari for all the stuff they get away with.

I should clarify... the innovation that made the movable floor possible was a design that moved during aero loading at speed, but remained ridged when put through the test designed to prevent movable aero devices.

Thinking of it with blood doping: Other teams find legal ways of getting an advantage (training at higher altitude to increase red blood cell count, for instance), which is fine. What Ferrari did was just figure out a way of doping that didn't show up on tests. Kinda' underhanded, but that's the world of F1.

My favourite was in 2006. Ferrari started that year with an aero package that was bending the rules to breaking point, which was removed after the other teams complained. Renault started with a mass damper which had actually been approved by the FIA.

Skip to halfway through the season, just after the Canadian GP and Renault are comfortably beating Ferrari almost every race. Solution? Ban Renault's mass damper while simultaneously 'clarifying ' the rules to make Ferrari's aero package legal.

After the FIA's meddling, Ferrari performed much better against the Renaults. Would've won the WDC too, if it weren't for that broken engine in Japan. Just check the picture for the shift in results after the rule changes.

Bonus - They banned the mass damper as a moveable aerodynamic device. That would be the internal mass damper, fitted inside the car, where it had no aerodynamic effect at all.
