A better business model for old JJoc* would be paying for an unmoderated comments section where you could take the piss out of him and see his ensuing hissy fit.

was there ever anything to the story that the Marussia ERS meant you couldn't stop it effectively?
It was pretty much irrelevant because you can't stop effectively on wet grass anyway.

quote:

During the 2 seconds Bianchi’s car was leaving the track and traversing the run-off area, he applied both throttle and brake together, using both feet. The FailSafe algorithm is designed to over-ride the throttle and cut the engine, but was inhibited by the Torque Coordinator, which controls the rear Brake-by-Wire system. Bianchi’s Marussia has a unique design of BBW, which proved to be incompatible with the FailSafe settings.

Disappointing. Everyone thought the Montoya/Raikkonen team would set the world on fire but it didn't work out. Montoya wasn't bad in 2005, but it just wasn't what people expected from him.

What they should have done was hold the race on Saturday or cancel it. But TV and money.

no, they should've done it earlier in the day. The race didn't start until late afternoon and by the time Bianchi wrecked it was really dark out -- not helped by the rain and clouds but in years past, it's been well into dusk by the time the race finished. There was a lot of rain out there but lack of daylight was definitely an issue, and for races like Japan, Malaysia and Australia they need to stop running into dusk without track lights just to get it into European TV windows. That is no excuse to be so risky.

So Sauber have signed another driver, this time a young Ferrari guy called Raffaele Marciello to be their reserve

What is in it for these test/reserve/simulator drivers? From what I hear they pay pretty much what they would if they were in the car to stand around in the uniform, and are kicked to the curb when they run out of funds. Look at Giedo van der Gard and how it worked out for him.

Why not do a season in GP2 or GT3 cars to stay sharp and actually get a seat for your money?

They usually do both. Marciello, for example, is racing in GP2 as well as being Sauber's reserve driver.
