McLaren have done nothing wrong in the design of this ECU & it is ridiculous to think they have intentionally designed it to work perfectly only on their cars. And this is not what Ferrari are saying so please don’t twist the words around to once again make Ferrari out as the bad guys.
The only ones that are responsible for this decision are the FIA & in my opinion they have dropped the ball big time again.
I don’t know & I don’t profess to know anything about ECU design or the process or mandate McLaren were given but I don’t think it can be disputed that McLaren would have designed the ECU with their car as the Test bed & it would not have been deemed finish & ready until it was working perfectly on this test bed.
It is only logic that the car the ECU was designed around will work perfectly strait out of the box versus a car that is given an ECU and told – Now make it work.
A good example is try loading Windows XP on 5 different hardware configured computers & I will guarantee they won’t all work the same. (But I bet it worked perfectly on all the configuration Microsoft tested it on)
It cannot be disputed that McLaren do have an advantage because of this (which the other teams will catch up to in time). It also cannot be disputed that Ferrari had an advantage with the Bridgestone’s.
Is either fair – NO Is either cheating – NO
They are the rules the FIA decided on and everyone has to make the best of it end of story.
But it is funny that the Bridgestone / Ferrari thing was perceived by some people as another example of Ferrari/FIA collusion & this ECU thing now smells of roses. Which by the way it should because McLaren have done nothing wrong – It’s all because of that amateur organisation called the FIA
It is also now funny that some of the McLaren lambs are now saying Ferrari are making excuses now after they went crap in the first race. Short memories – who were making excuses for there team’s possible problems even before the season started.
Do I smell
lets target the ECU
