I don't get it. How could they possibly justify neglecting the diffusers entirely?...
And even more baffling, how did they think they wouldn't be flagged as illegal😵
rustystag7 said:Since I haven't kept up with the specifics regarding those diffusers and what the current regulations look like...
as far as I can tell, they've been legalized, so that's that. What is Ferrari even planning to do about it at this point?
😕
EDIT:
Looking at this article above, it just confirms my suspicions. Absolute idiots. Now we’re stuck waiting out half the season while they sit on their hands, doing nothing to protest the FIA's decision to deny the appeal...
rustystag7 said:So what’s the problem with Felipe Massa???
I get it, making fun of him is easy, and I respect the right to joke around, but we are talking about a man who missed out on being the Formula 1 runner-up by a single point...
And that was a point secured by Glock under some pretty questionable circumstances....
Regardless of his words or whatever anyone thinks of him...
Sure, I’ll admit Massa had his fair share of brainless moments, but he had far more brilliant ones. Again, I'm just pointing out that this is a guy with a massive win count, a man who finished 13th to 3rd yesterday, yet not a single word was mentioned in yesterday's posts. And let's not forget he was fighting one of the most difficult cars on the track—honestly, if I recall, the car was maybe 5-7 kg heavier than the Pickett...
So, you can take those lectures about objectivity and bias somewhere else...😉

Massa was miles ahead today... ☕just count Hamilton's spins and wild slides, then compare them to Massine taj's performance ☕
Whether Mass 😕had an engine failure or a gearbox issue doesn't change the fact that he's lost his touch in the rain ☕
And as for Hamilton's drive today and how he scraped those points... it could easily go down as some of the most damn luck we've ever seen in F1 history ☕
Nicole Reyes97 said:if Fernando Alonso makes the podium tomorrow, we are definitely celebrating that together...🙂😉
so, what happened again with baby Massa?...🤣🤣
ironfalcon43 said:Felipe Massa👋🤣😂
ironfalcon43 said:It doesn't look particularly promising at the moment... though, honestly, they are far too massive an organization to stay buried in this mess forever. They'll find their way back to where they belong eventually...😉
ironfalcon43 said:your last bit of hope is slipping through your fingers...😂😂
maybe you'll finally learn to be satisfied with just a few points here and there if they actually manage to score something...🙂
because winning isn't everything when you have nothing...😛
mistybear87 said:One thing is certain: every single team running those double-decker diffusers already has a standard setup ready to go, and a good number of the teams sticking with the traditional design are likely already halfway through developing their own double-decker versions...
In any case, things should get interesting at the GP of USA-Austin 👍
