No angel. They are within their rights. The FIA really do not need to have control over this as well. I think the dictatorship has fallen...

No no, I don't think you understand, the FiA absolutely indisputably do have control over this. It just so happens that Ferrari are doing it by the book, completely above board, as sanctioned by the FiA.

True dat.

i hate the testing ban, ensures that people start the season with problems they had no idea that they had. and means that there is nothing to watch in the long off season.

Yeah i have to admit the testing ban is properly ridiculous in that sense. The only real way it helps is that it evens out the testing that every teams get - I do remember the top teams flying round a track for hundred's and thousand's of miles before a season - when the lower end teams would barely get any.

I think they should definitely enforce this 'testing on Mondays' idea. Hats off to Bernie for this one. Sounds like a really logical way to test for not a lot of moohlah.

They should also let the third drivers do some of it.

Yeah i'd almost be tempted to allow only third drivers test on the mondays. It would actually give them some point being there to be honest.

Agreed. They get absolutely zero running throughout the year and with the testing restrictions, the precious little amount of winter testing there is best served going to the race drivers.

Oh Golly , what have I done !! Maybe I was wrong in the way I put my 2cents in words. yes under the regs it is allowed and Ferrari is doing it by the book. They are not braking any laws as regards to the FIA and as stipulated in the regulations allowing testing in "old" cars and yes the drivers will not benefit per say by driving it.( actually they do, it helps get the rust off ) . Ferrari can do what they want as headless says! Whatever they want whenever they want. guess thats arrogant but we dont really care.

its ok, just don't call me angel again.

Yeah exactly. I think this really has to happen, probably this year - absolutely for next year. There is no reason why they can't or shouldn't. It would be cheap for the teams, all teams would get equal running, third drivers would have a use (and would be a good way to test new talent etc). And if they streamed it or made some sort of event out of it (possibly) then I'm sure they could even make a minute amount of money back too through advertising. There will always be hardcore fans wanting to see the teams testing new bits and bobs - and generally just seeing cars out on the track.

BERNIE GET ON TO IT NOW PLEASE.
