    software supplied by the FIA and developed together with the teams over the course of multiple years was responsible for all the chaos.

    Since 2008 probably as that’s when the spec ECU came into force.

    Before all you conspiracy theorists get yourself in a twist because your driver isn’t winning.

      “I’ve never seen or felt anything like that. I was shocked that… I didn’t even know that the FIA could control our throttle pedal. That was quite scary, actually”, the Haas driver said.

      “My throttle pedal just stopped working. It was like it was not connected and the engine was just idling. It was so weird, I mean, shocking.”

      When even the drivers don’t know about this it should be something new. Also the article says they couldn’t test it in rain, and there were some rainy races since 2008, and somehow this wasn’t a problem…

            I could say a lot. But the fact you included MBS is incredibly telling.

            Do you genuinely think he’s at the computer, loading up the IDE, vertical monitor and all?

            Or did you just want to get that anti-Arab racism out of your system?
