ferrari veto

[lebesset]

ther may have been a good reason in the past for allowing this to ferrari , but there certainly isn't today

so when this agreement expired in 2012 , why did Todt renew it ?

[SiLo]

Right now I would say Mercedes are doing more for F1 than Ferrari are. Maybe they should give the veto to the champions each year?

Lol funny Mercedes has done way more damage to the F1 product on the track than Ferrari have over the last 2 years. You may want to thank ferrari for finding a loophole and allowing in season token usage...on the flip side which team has blocked(vetoed) every chance for in season development?? .mercedes... if you are a Mercedes fan then its all good for you because your team has an advantage and their vote was needed to allow other teams to catch up.Ferrari on the other hand Vetoed a ridiculous idea by the FIA to basically dictate what the engine manufacturers profit margin should be... that veto benefitted every single engine manufacturer not just Ferrari.. mercedes on the other hand vetoed every engine idea to preserve their advantage.
Every single team agreed that Ferrari should have a veto ....during negotiations for the las concorde agreement.....

There is one big difference between Ferrari and the other teams. Ferrari are commited to the sport so its future is really important for them. All the other manufacturers are there just for the publicity and might quit at any time.

The amount of factually incorrect information here is gobsmacking. To correct you, I have provided information from a number of sources that should see to it that you become informed. I'm going out on a limb hoping for that...

Mercedes, Renault, Ferrari and Honda all agreed with the FIA to increase token usage for next from 25 to 32, 7 extra tokens.
Mercedes could easily have voted against this to preserve it's advantage. They did not.

Mercedes was willing to allow the changes because it realised having two manufacturers struggling so badly risked them pulling out, which would be bad for F1.

Honda and Renault want to be fighting with us at eye-level,So we cannot just take the hard line and always optimise the rules in our direction.

And in addition to the increase in tokens, all teams also agreed that the areas of development remain the same as before.
Which means the proposed freeze on the upper and lower crankcase, crankshaft, air-valve system and ancillaries drive remain unfrozen to development.
You've been taken to the water giantfan....up to you now.

Every single team? Every single team? Do you have a source for this claim? Because I cannot see Mclaren agreeing to that in a million years.

The simple answer is that, as unpalatable a fact as it may be, F1 needs Ferrari, now more than ever, and every other team knows it.

[Just_a_fan]

One wonders if views would be different if different drivers were driving for Ferrari...

over the last 2 years they have obviously changed their tune after realising the damage their blocking of every effort by the other manufacturers to catch up does to their brand in the general public. Wolf admitted as much.... go research that : )

Why don't you post what Wolff said, and I'll walk you through it?
This here thread is about the Ferrari veto, the very real Ferrari veto.
Not the imaginary Mercedes veto, that doesn't exist, but still allows you to post absolute tripe.

If you have evidence to put forward suggesting that claptrap, post it. If not, pre-script every post with.... 'in my fantasy world'.

[toraabe]

There is no difference between Ferrari, Williams or Mercedes.
Why should Ferrari win on behalf of the rest ?
If Ferrari were winning like Mercedes is doing today,
Is that your dream ?

Do you belive that there is no difference between Ferrari, Williams, Mclaren and Mercedes? From a commercial view, Ferrari is the most important brand for F1. Even when they don't win people talk about them. In the grandstands people wave flags from ferrari, they wear caps and t-shirts.
All the teams support the veto from Ferrari, i belive that Mercedes is grateful to them by using that power.

as usual internet insults.... lol amusing as usual
Mercedes has blocked every single attempt to open up engine development untill now after they have won 2 championships.
secondly my response was to the previous poster who claimed that Mercedes has done more for the sport than Ferrari and they should in fact be the team that has the vetoe awarded to them... that should answer your idiotic rant about what this thread is about and why mercedes is included in it.
go look for Wolff"s quote yourself its out there
