I cant believe im going to say this, but im pretty gutted DC is down the table! I feel like i'm really rooting for the guy & RedBull to do well this season, especially as they've started off so well. Is it a down force issue he's suffering?

Partly braking and partly the traction control is pulling power away from the wheels at every accelleration point

Suppose he could always switch the TC off..:D

Haha, DC in an RB without TC, he's gonna end up in KO.

As for Ross, Ferrari looked in great detail as to how they could save money this year and as such have impossed a ban on him visiting the Ferrari Restaurant, thus looking distinctly thinner.
Similar to how Frank Williams is suddenly finding more & more money now that Montoya isn't eating all of the pies after sending him on his bike. Which he later fell off ;)
 
Oh...and an interesting news item from the FIA

FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

The Technical Regulations will remain unchanged for 2005, 2006 and 2007. However, a proposal for change, unanimously supported by the Teams, would be considered by the WMSC.

The current rule which places no limit on the number of tyre manufacturer's competing in the Championship would remain in force at least until 2008.

The Teams would be invited to discuss the 2008 Formula One Technical Regulations in a meeting on April 15, 2005, with further meetings during the summer if necessary. In accordance with the requirements of the Concorde Agreement, the new regulations would be published by the FIA no later than December 31, 2005.

So the tech regs are going to remain the same for the next 2 seasons. Yeah...right.

I'll believe this when it happens. :rolleyes:
