Wow. The McLarens has done a great job here in the last 10 minutes.

Yes. That is exactly what Ferrari - and everyone else with a big development budget - is shooting for.

Whether the FIA will react to ban the thing mid-season is unlikely.

It's to bad it works that way, since everyone doesn't share the same budgets.... but if my competition was doing it, I would too (sadly

).

OT though: I think Ferrari did good, hopefully (but unlikely) we can get a win or two out of the last races!

The problem is that the FIA only reacts to bent rules instead of trying to head them off at the pass.

That may be because the engineers are just too clever for them.

Ferrari looks quick.
