Michael Schumacher has taken to karting now that his test with the Ferrari F60 was made impossible. Schumacher and Ferrari test driver Luca Badoer were present at the Lonato karting circuit in Italy as to get more seat time in a race chassis, although not quite a single seater like the one he'll be driving in Valencia later this month.

They asked their rival teams which have FOTA and non FOTA teams + FIA
FOTA teams agreed dont know about the other 2 parties.
Ferrari has asked rival teams for permission to have Michael Schumacher test this year's car during the testing ban ahead of the European Grand Prix.
But Ferrari has written to the FIA and to its rival teams asking to allow Schumacher to test for a day with this year's F60 car in order to arrive better prepared for the Valencia race.

outside the spirit of rule??The outside the "spirit of the rules" testing of the F2007 on GP2 slicks wasnt enough?
you know what is the rule first of all??
no testing with current and previous yrs cars ....thats the only rule
you can buy f1 cars 2 yrs old and run anywhere.....even you and me can do that if u have the money
and GP2 tyres would make the test simply useless for any data collection
thats why they purposly used that tyres.
this was just a test to get the cars feel and g forces
Its totally upto FIA and all teams to agreeNow he gets to go do a whole day's test in the F60? Totally ridiculous the way any & every rule is bent for Ferrari.
the testing ban is a agreement between team and FIA
What is the problem in asking??
if all the parties agree whats ur problem??
who are you to disagree?
do u have stakes in F1?? or any Vote in to veto this test?
and moreover this test (if it goes through) will be watched by FIA officals ...to make sure they dont use any new parts

so stop calling others fanboy and have a proper discussion
and ofcourse you cannot comment on my post, because you dont have anything to counter my arguments
stop the personal attacks for the second time, if u dont mind [-XISLAMATRON wrote: MAybe if you pulled your head out of MS's ass long enough to look around you would know that GP2 tires have the same manufacturer, Bridgestone, and the same dimensions as F1 tires and since they go to the same tracks under the same weather conditions it is easy to see that they would be the closest to F1 spec. And seeing how GP2 had slicks before F1 reintroduced them it is safe to say that Bridgetone took some of the tire data from the GP2 tires to help develop the F1 spec slick tire.
Odd I thought it was handshake agreement, or at least something that the teams camem up with.dave34m wrote:If the testing ban is a gentlemans agreement then whats rule 21.1c all about then, it states:RacingManiac wrote:ISLAMATRON wrote:They asked FOTA for permission?

There is no rule stopping Ferrari's F1 Clienti program, I don't think there are rules stopping any of the curret driver to go out and drive an old car for a hobby. As far as the running of the F2007 goes that was not grey, it was black and white in that it is allowed. Ferrari run the Clienti program as a service to their collector who buys the ex-racecar. Now today the owner of that car lend the car to Schumacher, and Clienti program runs the car for Schumacher, on the private owner's behalf. Today its Schumacher, tomorrow it could be my father, makes little difference....
F60 is obviously different altogether. The test "ban" + factory shutdown is a gentleman's agreement between the teams. Just as they agreed to not work it just as well to agree to let him drive the car. Now it is not obviously outside of the spirit of the agreement, I think, for the other teams to request for a day of testing on their own, should they see it as an advantage to the Ferrari. If I were Williams or FI F1 I'd definitely do it......
c) No track testing may take place between the start of the week preceding the first Event of the Championship and 31 December of the same year.
