My problem with, "since when did a suspension cause a lack of downforce," is that it betrays a mindset at Ferrari that allows these problems to happen again and again and again. There are many ways that a vehicle's suspension can adversely effect downforce. Even if none of them are present in the F2012, I feel a competent engineer wouldn't allow those words to escape his mouth in that order.
I think the team needs abandon this season and use the remaining races as testing sessions while they do some major housecleaning back home. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure this will all happen again next year.
Man, that argumental path is completely crazy, you ought to know you're a radical:
1- A guy at Ferrari points the obvious but forgets to say that a 0.0000000000001 correlation is possible between a FS wich has been tested and seems fine and rear DF.
2- Ferrari has, because of that, a wrong attitude towards development and engineering.
3- F2012, a car that with all its defaults is close than last year's to competitive status and has greater potential, to be abandoned after the first race.
Are you serious? As you said some statements can't escape an engineer mouth, other quotes can't escape someone who is willing to talk about team strategies.
It remembers me an article about management I found last week
http://www.businessweek.com/management/ ... 82011.html. "Three Types of People to Fire Immediately". In the end, it consisted of firing everyone without knowing even why. "Fire them!". Great strategy.
In real life good strategies are not about being radical, or creative, or firing everyone. Ask Jobs. It's about sticking with your likely absurd ideas, working, and making chinese work for you even harder. Chinese exploitation is key.
Even if I'm sarcastic, I appreciate your replies. Seriously, different points of view are funny.
