You know I love you and your negative offset...
You've been all covered up by those evil wheel fairings for too long
It will be wonderful to see you again in 2010 on all 4 corners

+1

lol!

It will be good to see glowing discs again.

Glowing red hot brake disc's, especially (obviously) the day/night, night races

Wow, since when did the brakes of a Ferrari glow green?

ever since a colorblind nutter started photoshopping

edit to add it's not jcbc3

Wheel fairings banned?

I'm glad they're going.

They're awful looking and I'm surprised one of them hasn't hit a driver in the head yet.

Good old Frans.

Yeah - too good an occasion to miss for posting this legendary picture.

wheel have hit a drivers had...ban them
a spring has hit massa's had..ban them too
too dangerous

This makes me SO happy! Having night races (or dusk) and not being able to see the glowing rotors made me angry. I would have even been ok with just banning them for the late-starting races!

What is the story behind this picture?

IIRC Frans was trying to claim that Ferrari were running illegal traction control. As part of his "evidence" he presented that picture, which he had photoshopped to show glowing brake discs. Unfortunately for him, Frans is red/green colourblind ....

Damn....my coffee almost came out my nostrils there......

Hhahahahahha thats has to be one of the funniest fails of all time!

So Do the lack of Fairing creat more brake failures at the first three GPs? I hope so...

I have no idea why there weren't banned last year on the grounds of safety. The X wings went pretty sharpesh - why not these terrible things?

you think when bridgestone pull out we might get low profile rubber with the new supplier?

Got to love Frans

If you're a subscriber there's some info about previous attempts to bring in low profile tyres in this article:

yeah i saw that thanks, it's an interesting read.

I agree on removing wheel fairings. Now I just wish they'd ban tire warmers!

Ask Zanardi if banning tire warmers is a good idea.

Yes how wonderful the days when pit mechanics were injured and/or killed by cars on cold tires.

Yes!

I am glad they are finally getting rid of tose dreadful wheel thingies. Now if they could address the retarded looking wings, things would really be looking up.

Green Technologies.
I think the guy took it wrong.

And what was he saying that braking had to do with traction control?

I asked him and he said it's OK.

The part I remember was that he claimed that Ferrari had some energy recovery system. You gotta hand it to Frans, he designed an advanced KERS. Ferrari should have hired him.

Seeing the wheels is awesome and the glowing discs at night... the cars look better for the lack of them too.

Tyres glowing at night races would be fantastic

LOL
i mean the Brakes
