Why? It would end with Ferrari complaining that the fuel tank was too small.
To Italians, size matters; but, what's more important is what you do with what you got. :twisted:

That's very telling then. Look what Ferrari did with it this year.

That might not be enough as they might come up with some clever fuel compression scheme...
OK, a set tank size, no compressed fuel, fuel at ambient temperature, set diameter fuel lines, and 102 RON fuels or whatever it is at the moment.

If any team have a problem with the size of the fuel tank they will just have to back off the power.

Outcome manufacturers get an engine that works best for there marketing needs be it V10 or straight 4 turbo. NA or forced induction. Up to them. However they have 80L (iirc that is what the 2015 regs say) tank for the race. Or 81 so the FIA can get a litre to test at the end.

Signs are that they were just practising for 2015. Put it this way sacking the guy they got to fix the problems caused by the guy they first sacked doesnt really assure us that the problems were not made worse by the middle guy. And the best thing is the new new guy is not an expert at all in the area that the second guy tried to fix,but was sacked because he didnt fix it in a fraction of the time given to the first guy they sacked. So assuming the middle guy didnt cause more problems than he try to fix, say like getting rid of the best driver and keeping the lame one and then replacing the best guy with another lame on but - heres the clever bit - on double the wage of the best one.
So lets hope the second guy they sacked didnt cause short term problems thinking he had a long term solution - such as trying to copy and engine layout but not realising that to do so for next year would require the crank recast as well as the engine case itself, i.e a whole new engine design from sctrach.
Lets hope all the middle guy did wrong was to waste the time that should have been spent on improving the 2014 engine and that he wasted it on trying to change the rules to allow this complete rebuilding of a new engine design. Because if he actually weakened the 2014 engine they will have to resort to - if he made that worse, say by firing the staff who know where the skeletons are buried, again on the assumption he had time and an ability to rebuild the engine from scratch - then it doesnt bear think about how much worse the teams 2015 would be compared to their 2014

So the good news is that hopefully the middle guy left the engine as he found it, because even though Renault and Merc and Honda have undoubtedly improved from 2014, then ferrari could hope to catch up a bit in the first few races

But the bad news is that, if the middle guy to be sacked actually caused a short term step backwards in the hope of stepping forward later, and the newest guy has to start from that position, without the previous staff

Theres only one thing left to to comfort then fans in red

It's that easy for someone to walk into Bernie's office? Hilarious.

It should come as no surprise to the painter where Bernie is suggesting he will put the painting. It's as far up as he can reach. :hehe:

It gets increasingly difficult to stomach this guy as the years go on. When will it all end?
