Brawn defends adjustable rear wing flaps

[Tension_36th]

Ross Brawn wants to defend what will soon be the same story as the adjustable front wing flap. A terrible flop

It will not improve the show, all they are aiming for is 10khp, which is a joke. We already have that kind of margins and it still makes overtaking difficult on many tracks.

Surprisingly Martin Whinermarsh is the only one talking sense and honestly. He claims if the concept proves to be a failure (apparently many are expecting it to be so), then F1 teams must agree to drop the concept immediately upon reaching such a consensus.

Ross Brawn is the typical engineer unwillingly to own upto technical choices and radical ideas that have failed. Sam Michael is another clown of this category with his stance that multi-deck diffusers don't ruin the wake. Their egos are to large for them to admit they have got many ideas wrong.

I have always been a fan of F1 racing. I had the chance to watch it live in 1991. It was the Belgian Grand Prix. I precisely remember the year and venue because Schumacher made his Formula one debut in this race. He had to retire on the first lap of the race because his car was having clutch problems. Nowadays a lot of technological innovations are going on in Formula One cars. I personally feel that man and machine both are equally important in this game.

Thats is the problem in F1.

Machine is more important, sponsorships are even more important (que: San-tan-der is faster than you Felipe, can you confirm?)

This sport is now becoming a profiteer's merry land.

For the last few years its was the problem of the driver figuring lesser in the success. Now it going towards money.
