As ever, in agreement with all the above. Except it would have been totally impossible to set a speed limit thru the turn in question. Can you imagine Kimi R sticking to any kind of speed limit? I think not!!!
It is impossible to overstate how much control Bernie and Ferrari have over F1 issues. I recall that when Schu joined Ferrari, Bernie went on record saying that it was 'essential' that Schu and Ferrari became world champions 'for the good of the sport'. And Lo, it Came to Pass. Well gosh - or just call me cynical.....and look who was in charge of the cars - Rory Byrne, the same guy who could hide a 13th programme in his Benetton lap top that was an undisguised launch control. So who was fastest off the line at every GP? Micky the Schu. And what did the FIA do when they found this? Nothing. Because Byrne assured them that it was never used. Right.
The Senna issue was resolved just a few days ago with the Italian courts saying that in the light of sufficient accurate evidence, there was basically no case to answer. The case was brought against Patrick Head and Adrian Newey (not Bernie and Frank).
No comment on the delightful M. Chirac other than to point out he is a very ignorant little (add your own expletive)
