    I know there are a few out there that think we should only talk about football (and sausages, and fish and chips, etc....)

    But I see Ferrari and Red Bull are trying to move the goal posts 3 races into the season.

    Wonder how long it will be before Ferrari threaten to withdraw along with Red Bull simply because they've lost face because that aren't competitive?

    Same last year with the tires. Force India had the setup sorted based on the tires but the big teams suffered so they changed the tires to suit
    Red bull ,Ferrari etc

    Agree...Christian Horner at Red Bull says wanting to change the fuel flow per hour rule is not to gain an advantage but to help the casual viewer understand...Funny but during the race there is a graphic that appears from time to time showing how much fuel each car has used so far. Simple! Pull the other one Horner.

    Christian Horner is a whinging *******. Funny it showed that the Mercs were using less fuel but half a second a lap (easily...) quicker than Red Bull.

    Because Mercades have a great engine set up. Red bull are better at aerodynamics. Always had issues with electrics/engine. Whining

    Always had respect for Newey as a true engineering genius (a word often misused but justified in his case). Unfortunately he too seems to have caught the 'whinging ' bug from Horner. All political though unfortunately. Lets hope Todt doesn't cave in.

    Hope its not like the last time we had a Frenchman in charge.... ie. the disgraceful bias in the Senna/Prost years shown by Balestre towards Prost
