the stupid one tire rule should have not been existed

**mazdamazda** · October 30th, 2005 01:54 PM

btw... michelin is protesting about this... hehehe... good for the two other teams that switched over to bridgestone.

and it looks like ferrari will be back in business next year...

I really don't understand the reason behind disallowing it to begin with. If the intent was to force tire manufacturers to come up with more durable race tires, it simply doesn't happen. Drivers are forced to alter their race strategies if their tires happen to wear out faster because of aggressive driving. In the end, it takes out the excitement if the drivers can't pull of overtaking maneouvers late in the race due to severly worn tires.

more exciting F1 season to come

i think ginawa nilang one tire rule dati is for reliability. like for their engines. same engine is used every race in the season until it gives up on them. if your engine doesnt break down in one whole season, that tells something about the engine supplier and the team itself when it comes to reliability issues.

You should definitely get one. What I pay in cable fees is well worth it.

Bridgestone certainly wasnt protesting tire swaps when they were winning
the previous years. Michelin were protesting the supposed reason for the
1 tire rule which was cost savings. If cost savings was really the reason
why the dullard Max introduced it this year then why reintroduce tire swap
for next season? All the tire data they took for this year just got thrown out
the window.

And about Ferrari. I beg to differ about them going back to their winning ways.
You have to remember that not only is the tire different for next year, but
that all teams will be running V8s from now on. Ferrari is basically back to
square one in terms of testing the new engine format. (Same as everybody)
The winning streak they had was with the V10, its a whole new ball game
from here on out...

kahit na but the tire changing factor is BIG. ferrari will be winning again. pero syempre kudos sa champ this season pero it will be a different ball-game next season. AYUS!!!!!

They'll be racing in-line 4's in no time...and the cars will have VTEC, VVT-i, VANOS, etc logos plastered on the side-pod

FYI.

Formula One cars since the beginning have used all sorts of engines... from supercharged/turbo 1.5L inline-4s to 3.5L V12s. Heck, they even raced them side-by-side before the displacement standardization was placed in the late 80s (and the # of cylinders in the mid 90s).

their turbo inline-4s can do 1200+hp before. wanna make fun of that?

there was a rumor before that f1 race is more becoming of a technology battle and not by the skills of the drivers.

they're just trying to balance the equation.

**nugundam93** · March 28th, 2006 07:30 AM

the tech battle instead of driver battle has been coming up regularly, like in the end of the 93 season...and so on... :D

oh well.. kung sino maraming galanteng sponsors.. sila yung malalakas. hehe
