OMG baz thanks for resurrecting the thread, I was reading it earlier and thinking it's a shame how many people enjoy putting down the sport.
Ferrari traffic lights, well I for one said they would disappear after the fiasco at Valencia but they seemed to stay. How many mechanics must get injured I wonder?
Interesting comparison:
Valencia (August): Massa released into the path of Sutil (NO PENALTY)
Ted's Valencia notebook - Feature - F1 | ITV Sport
"There was an element of arrogance in Ferrari’s defence. They implied Adrian Sutil was only a backmarker who should have got out of the race leader’s way"
Singapore (Sept): Massa released into the path of Sutil (DRIVE-THROUGH PENALTY)
James Allen's Singapore GP verdict - Feature - F1 | ITV Sport
"Because there were so many cars pitting and therefore a much more dangerous situation, Ferrari switched to manual. So the green light performed the same function as a lollipop would have done"
- so the traffic light system doesn't work under pressure? And the man with a stick didn't do the job? Not to mention the fact that the fuel rig was left attached to the car! So what are Ferrari to do!?
