The things Mclaren learned from Ferrari, what you think

Post

Hi,

What's experts thoughts on the 3 major issues discussed at the FIA hearing:

1- Ferrari's weight balance heavly biased towards hear end.

2-Dual cylinder brake master in the hear with a spring, delays and gradually increases hear braking.

3-CO2 in the tyres.

Where did you hear about the CO2 in the tyres? I didn't read that substance being divulged.
2-Dual cylinder brake master in the hear with a spring, delays and gradually increases hear braking.
I presume you meant to write "rear" braking?

Sure, rear braking.

FIA leaked it yesterday with a poorly censored transcript

I don't know

whether you can call what they did "censoring" ... and I don't know why they did this. Many teams had representation present, so they will have heard this anyway. Actually, if they had just deleted the "censored" passages, it would've been 100% effective. Kind of funny that they let these things slip, when you think of the context. I know I appreciated the irony.

It's all in one of the documents that the FIA posted up on the website.

They blacked out the text in the PDF but if you copy and pasted it then you could see what the text was.

They have since retracted that version but there are still lots of copies around the net.

CO2 sounds really interesting . Usually is used nitrogen N2 as tyre gas .
