[What's Burning?]

From what I understand of the DRS system; it is controlled by the FIA as and when it sees fit; neither team nor driver can activate it outside the DRS activation zone, so the most lightly explanation is a software bug; it is new technology after-all; their will be inevitable bugs in the system, I believe Ferrari to be innocent in this instance!

Yes the DRS has a zone set for the race which is controlled by the FIA, and activated within 1 second of the car in front. Similar thing to the timing transponder i would say. Alonso's zone started 300m to the hairpin instead of 750m and continued after the hairpin for another 300m or so. The driver only knows when the DRS is activated when the light flashes in his car so he can then push the button to activate the wing. It doesn't open on its own that would just be ludicrously dangerous.

Yes it would be dangerous; but we all know that technology isn't perfect; as DRS is software controlled; it is likely to have teething issues; any software is only as good as the person who programmed it! And if that is someone from the FIA; heaven help us!

Are you suggesting that it was potentially hacked into by the Chinese government to give Schumacher an advantage over Alonso?

Where's Jack Master when you need him?

You lot scared him of by being horrible to him.

I think WB is really missing him, its the second time he's enquired for Jackieboy in the space of...an hour?

He couldnt handle reality that was his problem.

did you not hear his last accusation? Lewis was in fact the leader of an Alien force preparing an invasion of Earth!

That could be plausible. The way he drove in Shanghai was out of this world.

Okay okay I'll stop.

I miss him, he used to provide the cure for all the oestrogen that comes from the Lewis fans!

Now hes dissapeared the forum is unbalanced.

[f1ea]

so Alonso should be punished because the DRS system failed in the part of the fia?? that's pretty nonsense.

Even if he did activate it out of zone, he was running all race with a malfunction thanks to the fia..... the rule says if the buttns green, you may use it. if anything it should be ferrari issuing a complaint to the fia!

then schumacher defending with the same drs again....

im still not 100% about the Schumi claim. The photo may not have been from the race, Spanky said he got it from another forum. If he was defending with it then that is even worse than Alonso i would say.

Are you accusing LH fans of being effeminate?

[darwin dali]

Can't they simply look at FA's onboard footage or is it not always on, transmitted, recorded?
That would reveal when he pushed buttons, etc.

yeah, i'm not even sure either.. all i remember is that i saw it seemed much more difficult for alonso to get by schumi than it took any other o/t in that race. i thought it was more down to the merc engine and schumi's defensive ala massa style, which was very good..... but it was compounded by yet another glitch in the fia system it makes yet an extra annoyance........ so the fia should look into it, not with a hope to punish or whatever, but at least what were the real issues.............

Have you seen Lewis' attempt at a beard?

lol
guess we can leave that one for the lewis fans to make fun of.......
