2004 Brazilian Grand Prix - Expect Spoilers

why?

with 16 laps to go he takes his right hand off the wheel and changes up, up, then takes left off, and right back on and changes up.

pretty hard to tell if his fingers move

And its going to be looked into so its not just us that saw this.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

it was said on bbc news vader.

the thing they are looking at is 6 laps from the end.

He went throught the senna s took his right hand off the wheel going down the straight, his car changed from 6th to 7th his left fingures did not move.

in one issues of f1 racing it was written that while normally one hand is used for shifting-up and the other for shifting-down, in ferrari's system it is possible to do both with any hand.

what r u on about?

yeah, the shifters is a one piece toggle. ie:by pushing the 'downshifter' side forward,the upshift goes backward, thus having the same effect as upshifting. i read it in autosport after malaysia.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

it was said on the bbc news vador i dont know i can only go by what i heard but some teams want it looked at

As much as I would like this to be true I would also like some confirmation. :p

if there is going to be an investigation then you have to remember they wont just look at the footage, the fia will be able to inspect the car after the race, if there is a full auto box in there they'll find it, also from the t-cam it will be hard to tell exactly what the driver is doing anyway

They will need to look at the software and stuff.

Am sure it will appear on the net

I taped the race, in lap 7 from the end, you can clearly see Sato taking his right hand off the SW on his way to the back straight, and the car upshifts by itself!!!!

some cars have shifters on the left side (up and down), and in some (like Ferrari), it is made to fit the hand perfectly, so you can't see the hand moving.

It was a great race, great job by Montoya and Kimi.

Kimi would have won if it would have been dry weather all time, because he was with 2 stop strategy and Montoya and Rubens with 3 stops.

Yes i heard that was well, kimi and button were on 2 stops.
