at least one race this season he will have to pit because of his own fault, it will start raining on his in-lap, he will take a gamble because there's no other option.

lucks into another wet win and everyone will hail his rain master skills :D
 
Its a broadcaster site which primary elementcp is news

Certsinly not a teaser site IMO ( newsnow is one, BBC has too much detail on a few stories to be classified as teaser)
 
Definitely a shame, but if they were warned then they were warned. If true that the monitors have been an issue, and for more than one team, then it needs to be sorted ASAP.

However, looking at that list, something seems a little odd to me:

2) This parameter is outside of the control of the driver, Daniel Ricciardo.

9) The FIA technical representative observed thought the telemetry during the race that the fuel flow was too high and contacted the team, giving them the opportunity to follow his previous instruction, and reduce the fuel flow such that it was within the limit, as measured by the homologated sensor - and thus gave the team the opportunity to be within compliance. The team chose not to make this correction.

If 2 is correct, then how would the team be able to make the correction specified in 9? :confused:

By changing the settings, just like the fuel saving settings.
 
Shame for Ricciardo. If it was outwith his control then did it give a performance advantage? If not then give him the points but keep the DQ from WCC points for the team.
 
It would give an advantage, more fuel, more power.
And although he can't see the usage, the team can and can tell him to change fuel settings. but they decided to ignore it.
As much of a shame it is for DR, its the right outcome.
 
I've got a hunch RB thought he was unlikely to finish, so they're probably testing the waters.

Teams always moan about something come a regulation change with mandatory parts. In 1987 it was the pop-off valves to restrict boost pressure.

Exactly the problem is it taking so ******* long after the race finished

The FIA and RBR knew ( as the team were notified during the race), so they should have been told on the way to the podium that they have been excluded
 
What they supposed to do? Stop the podium ceremony for 5 hours while they argue it out and hope the crowd hangs around until 11pm and it's gone dark?

It would be a PR disaster, plus Alan Jones would have been plastered! :D

As someone who has been watching F1 for the last 23 years, I believe that the best drivers should end up with the best teams and be able to compete for wins/titles. By and large this is what happens.

My biggest frustration is that Alonso seems once again, to have a car incapable of winning the title. He's been the standard bearer in F1 for some time now and he is once again up against cars which are 0.5s/lap faster than his.

He won his last title back in 2006.

I said last year that it would be best for his career to change teams, if only to have a fresh challenge. Ferrari are going nowhere fast and in the last 5 years they havent even lucked into a title winning car.

Didn't Ted say they had an electrical problem and they weren't running at optimum pace on both cars?

No thats exactly what I just said, its a five minute discussion

The FIA knew flow rate was questionable during the race, and RBR ignored their notification.

That for me means they forego any right to a podium
