Is this for real!

Seriously if F1 did this, we could no longer call it a sport where the best come to play.

If this is the way we are heading F1 is in for some @#$%&!

btw, nice first picture ;)

I read this earlier... I haven't read it in detail, but I think that it's true, but it'll be another one of the FIAs 'ideas' that will go down the drain.

If this is true, why in the hell do they bother with their FIA surveys.

Its like sticking two fingers up in F1 fans faces.

We already have too many driver aids which should be banned.

it's probably one of those "far out" ideas that the FIA know will be rejected, so they can introduce something less drastic. they always do that, propose some wacky things, which they know the teams won't accept, so they can get them to accept some other changes they have in mind.

Ofcourse there is stability control!!

They should also make the cars run on remote control, controlled by a computer in the pitlane. And use robots as pit crew.

Welcome to the world of Tamiya. We've had front-engined, rear-engined, 16 cylinders, 8 cylinders, 1.5 litre turbos, the aero era, ground-effect and active suspension. This is the electronic era. And man I hope it (and Max*) dies.

* I'm not a morbid man, but what the hell is he trying to do with F1? It's been the same for a decade now. Bring back Balestre. Or hire Satan. Or Dave Ellis.

Lol Satan :p!

watched the south park last night where Satan has a holloween party on earth, called hell on earth, and he wants a ferrari cake lol.

Anyway... Max is a nob. What were him and Bernie like at Brabham ?! Surley he knew then what made F1 great..

He did indeed. How to hire an over-rated ponce and build a car made entirely from lego.

I think I need to take my medication tonight ;)
Next up in their brilliant ideas... ban f1 cars and just have simulated races.

Wouldn't even surprise me...
if stability control comes into F1 then I shall stop watching the sport until its removed, unless Mosely is removed 1st....

Stability control does have a place in F1... It should consist of the driver exuding his skill by steering and throttle control, and that's how it should stay.

Imagine that, after years of having racing games "on rails", now we get it in real life..
aye thats true, but I fear its not the way itl be :( I just dont get how they can even consider this option, it makes no sense at all for the fans!

Note how the store doesn't contain any quotes from Mosley where he actually mentions SC? Looks like a bit of tabloid sensationalism from the Beeb :(

In the whole article Mosley never even talks about SC, this is just another pathetic story from the press in order to stir up some mumbling and grumbling at the FIA because they have nothing better to do...
