Mercedes, Red Bull confident in FIA’s Ferrari scrutiny
Mercedes and Red Bull are both happy with the FIA’s investigations into claims Ferrari is using its energy recovery system (ERS) illegally at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Rumors into Ferrari’s ERS use first surfaced in Barcelona, with it alleged that the team’s unique battery layout could allow it to bypass an FIA sensor and exceed the 120kW limit that can be deployed by the MGU-K. In response to such claims, and despite the absence of an official complaint from rival teams, the FIA has asked Ferrari to run an additional piece of hardware — understood to be another downstream sensor — during this weekend’s event in Monaco.

Excellent question for which I'm sure FIA has no logical answer ...  |

Make racing better, it's a good theory. What it will do is smack the the poor teams just a little harder. |

Because the engineering exercise can be focused on making the units smaller and lighter. It also avoids the possibility that the technology advances much quicker than the FIA anticipates resulting in the cars outperforming the safety elements of the circuits. |

It also avoids the possibility that the technology advances much quicker than the FIA anticipates resulting in the cars outperforming the safety elements of the circuits. The cornering speeds are already beyond safety elements. More BS from the FIA. You mandate teams to build better mouse traps and the shit on them when they actually do build one that is better. |

Life just keep getting tougher for Toto, the higher ups at Merc don't like controversy a bit. |

If you live in a glass house don't throw stones. Toto doesn't want to break his glass house - just throw up enough gravel to obscure the view. |

Horner: Ricciardo's Monaco win ‘unbelievable’ amid MGU-K failureRed Bull team principal Christian Horner has described Daniel Ricciardo as “unbelievable” for his drive to win the Monaco Grand Prix after losing his MGU-K. Leading from pole position, Ricciardo radioed his team early in the race to say he was losing power, and Red Bull confirmed a power unit issue was hampering his pace. With Sebastian Vettel immediately closing in, Ricciardo nursed his car to the finish to win his first Monaco Grand Prix — and Horner says the drop in performance was worth 2.5 seconds per lap. “Unbelievable,” Horner told Sky Sports. “He was not going to give this race up this weekend. He was quickest in every session. He lost the MGU-K 17 or 18 laps into the race. That’s what it was. That’s two and a half seconds a lap he is giving up. “Then your brake temperatures go out of control, then the fuel, tires going off and he just managed it like he was on a Sunday afternoon drive. They were telling me on the intercom that we were going to have to retire the car in one or two laps and I said look, we’re in the lead of the Monaco Grand Prix, we’re keeping going. racer.com/2018/05/27/ricciardos-monaco-win-unbelievable-amid-mgu-k-failure/?utm_source=racer&utm_medium=recirc&utm_campaign=rail-most-popular

I don't know that the issues ultimately amounted to 2.5 seconds per lap because Ricciardo would have been harder on the tires had he had full power, but finishing with the loss of rear braking is impressive.

Part of being a winning race driver is bringing the equipment home - despite whatever challenges the equipment presents along the way. Ricciardo's performance was masterful - and to do it at a reduced pace. But a pace that following cars could not match or overtake. |

Ricci did an amazing job but anywhere but Monaco he would have finished behind Renault

Yeah, but they WERE at Monaco. Imagine your view had it been Lewis? ALL of our opinions would be 180 degrees different. |
