Oh f**k off FIA, apparently the combined weight was fine on the FI scales. Ferrari International Assistance are at it again, boosting up both Ferraris!


What? You've seen all the test documents and procedures etc. and know they didn't break any rules? No, just make a complete supposition, that's a complete straw man.

Di Resta excluded after his car was found to be 1.5kg underweight


That's a shame man. He will be gutted. Is it only the one FI that's underweight?

From BBC Sport;

Di Resta weighed less than expected on the FIA scales after qualifying but team boss Bob Fernley said that when he was weighed again later he was back to his normal weight.

Governing body the FIA said Di Resta would move to the back of the grid, but he may well be forced to start from the pits.
If the team need to add ballast to the car to make up its weight, that would be a change of set-up, which is not allowed under F1's parc ferme regulations.

Car has to be legal at all times though, I mean, unless Force India want to argue, he lost weight between getting out of the car and going to the scales which counted for the under weighting.

I'm not arguing that. Just saying its a shame.

Yeah, could have easily been different, but its like McLaren's fuel thing last year or a few years ago with Sauber's rear wing (or something), when it comes to a car breaching the technical regulations, there's only one penalty it seems, the car is disqualified from the event.

To be fair, the FIA probably should look at that, although in this case I guess they will argue there shouldn't be leniency, as minimum weight is a safety parameter.

Of course, anything to deny Britain it's happiness... :crying:


:FacePalm:

Or maybe I just had a sense of humour bypass.

:hehe: you know us Brits, we love to play the victim....


Yeah, the FIA are clearly very French biased, giving the French a GP and not the British, especially considering there are more British F1 drivers than French ones.

I guess going back to the race, the most interesting thing will be seeing the Ferraris make their way up through the field, or Webber crashing into Vettel at the first corner.

Sorry. How is it the teams fault that HE was underweight, and not the car......?

He lost 1 kg by driving 7-8 laps? Are you like f**king serious right now?

Guess Paul just has to avoid eating the haggis before driving, maybe it makes you fart kilos or summing


Why would he be eating that? He's not from Lancashire.

It'll have been a battered Mars Bar he'll have avoided.
