Eddie Jordan saying it how it is.
I don’t mind Eddie, he is normally straight and to the point.
I agree, have said it before, I wonder how much power Jos really has ? I firmly believe he is behind the leak.
As someone who knows little about F1, feel free to make me look an idiot but how much power can the father of a driver possibly yield?
I also don't know anything about it, but presumably he has some kind of influence on Max? And if he can nudge him to take his talents elsewhere, that is maybe something he can leverage, given that Max is clearly the greatest driver of all time.
That’s why I asked, you would think none, but I am starting to think otherwise.
Triple H: Horny Horner Harrasment
“Whistleblower” pretty thick then. Even if this were true it makes no sense and no one would believe it.
Yeah it def doesn't feel out of left field. It's long been rumored there are concerns with the PU development at RB for the new regs. Merc has long coveted Max and is more likely to nail engine regs than aero, and they d probably love to stick it to Lewis and Ferrari by offering him a bigger contract or equivalent and then blowing them out of the water on the track.
It makes complete sense, long standing tension between FOM/FIA and Las Vegas was the first 'in-house' Grand Prix where FOM were the promoter as well. Sulayem knew that if this model was successful it would put a lot of power back into FOM's hands.
Maybe. Still doesnt help that it's the same person whistleblowing on two very divergent themes and there being other officials in the room who have 'different recollections'.
Both could be true. Several people having an axe to grind with FIA like a Toto who happens to also have commercial interests through the Liberty side. And that's just the one we most know about. Enemy of my enemy and all that.
The whistleblower has been that credible that the FIA's own compliance officer thinks there's merit in the claims and has submitted it in a report to their ethics committee. I don't think someone of their standing would risk their reputation if they didn't think there was merit in the claims.
Perhaps. But people like that need to protect themselves too. Often times complaints are brought forth because otherwise the next complaint will be against you, or you open the door for other types of allegations being made against the company for not taking a claim seriously. In other words, them taking it "seriously" could be more about self preservation. They *need* to take it seriously.
If someone with a position in the FIA makes that sort of claim and leaks it to the press they dont have any choice but to treat it seriously.
max is better off without newey. he’ll need to dominate the same way without a newey car if he wants to be considered the greatest.
I wouldn't be surprised if Newey gave Ferrari a go. Especially if they let him build his own road car as well (they made this offer last year before he extended with RB). I mean who gets the chance to design their own Ferrari road car?
Imagine getting to design your own Ferrari, wow
Probably retire.
They re already in the early production phase with his own RB car so that was checked off the list. That was apparently a big reason they got him to stay because he got full authority over its design. He is quite geeked when he talks about it.
Still, not the same as designing your own Ferrari road car. It's Ferrari after all. The pinnacle of cars.
Post that opinion in the cars thread and see what we get
haha no chancePost that opinion in the cars thread and see what we get
Mosley was in the shadows until he was dragged out of it. Todt kept himself to himself too.
F1 has always had drama. It's no worse for it now than it ever was. The internet just magnifies stuff like this.
