This assumes that you let teams test unlimitedly, allowing the top teams to just run off testing all kinds of crazy things continuously. If you limit testing to a few short sessions a year, you let the new teams get valuable running time with their car, and you let new drivers actually find out how an F1 car works.Just_a_fan wrote:Who is going to pay for the small teams to go testing?

The change will help the front runners more than the tail end guys so we'll see the performance differential across the grid increase. If the 107% rule remains we may see teams fail to qualify...
So Jean Todt is helping Ferrari? Next you'll be telling us that FIA stands for Ferrari Internatiopnal Assistance.bentley321 wrote:the only reason why todt wants it back is because and soon as testing was banned Ferrari have gone downhill.
All teams have used team orders when they shouldn't have. The problem that such a fuss was kicked up when Ferrari used team orders that something had to be done. Under the previous FIA administration (which was corrupt unlike the current one) teams had been let off with team orders which prevented any real action being taken against Ferrari, i.e. a precedent had been set. As the use of team orders cannot be policed, the only sensible thing was to legalise them. Absolutely nothing to do with any one team being favoured.bentley321 wrote:He only wants it because he wants Ferrari to be on top again which makes the FIA corrupt. As Ferrari contribute the most money to F1 the FIA will do anything fro Ferrari. Here's an example:
As soon as Ferrari does team orders in Germany last year they legalize it
Intelligent comment this.bentley321 wrote:Get a grip FIA and stop bumming ferrari!
Even a few days spread throughout the year is expensive to do. Better would be to say that additional days will be done at race weekends - perhaps Monday and Tuesday after three or four particular races. That way the teams are already on location and that will reduce some of their costs.beelsebob wrote:This assumes that you let teams test unlimitedly, allowing the top teams to just run off testing all kinds of crazy things continuously.

Good job really; judging by your defence of them at every turn I'd hate to think what your posts would be like if you were a fan...andrew wrote:
