Coulthard: TC loss not significant

The absence of engine braking, rather than traction control, will be the biggest factor in spicing up races in Formula One this year.

That is the view of David Coulthard who, after testing, has no doubts about how different things will be on the back of the introduction of the standard ECU in Formula One following the first tests in December.

Fisichella disappointed by Renault snub
Finding similarities in former Spyker car

Giancarlo Fisichella, who on Thursday was unveiled as a Force India driver for 2008, says he is disappointed with Renault.

The Italian winner of three Grand Prix - two of them with Renault - claims that, following three consecutive years at the French team and another four in its previous Benetton guise, the Enstone based outfit failed to fulfil its promise of a winning car.

Fisichella seems to be living in a parallel universe or perhaps he wants to tell the world how good a driver Fernando Alonso actually is.

[nightsurfer]

LOL! Right.

Some more interesting stuff.

@m11

I am pretty sure the ferrari guys aren't gonna let mclaren forget the whole thing anytime soon... in fact every time mclaren wins a race (IF) or finishes on the podium I am sure someone will say something that implies foul play on part of mclaren... its unfortunate yes... frustrating even... I mean why does Ferrari accuse mclaren of doing something which they didnt do and.......... oh wait a second... mclaren did spy on Ferrari using their data in their car design...
Once a copy cat always a copy cat... Mclaren can't expect to be caught out red handed and expect everyone to forget about it... granted the 100 mill. is quite a massive fine but the oily haired silk suit wearing b@$t@rd$ know how to drag people through the mud...

[nightsurfer]

@m11

Oh, I missed your reply.

Well, one just doesn't have the privilege to point fingers at others when the team one supports was caught red handed. Beglar_Begi is right. Mclaren have now been labled the official thieves of F1 and it will take a lot of good going and fair play to earn it back.

Ferrari are just manipulating and capitalizing from the situation like true professionals.

F1 is not a just a sport. Its a business and one should learn from Ferrari how to do business.

^ Ferrari fans r just like ferrari. The point is... when all the spy case is solved then whats the point of calling mclaren a ferrari clone again....

mclaren let the renault spy case go... they dont need to play cheap like ferrari

r they the only ones who can make a formula 1 car?... i think they r not professionals....they will loose respect of even ferrari fans...

@s90

"mclaren let the renault spy case go... they dont need to play cheap like ferrari"

I'm sorry man I dont mean to start anything up here but I had to respond to this line... mclaren didnt really let go of the renault thing because they are true gentlemen but more so because they aren't in a position to say anything. Trust me... if the whole ferrari and mclaren thing had not happened then right now mclaren would be doing the same thing to renault that ferrari is doing with mclaren.

All these teams are fighting for the top prize and frankly the rules are to win by any means necessary... exploit any weakness... and I'm sorry but ferrari isnt playing cheap......................... trust me those silk suits are quite expensive...

@nightsurfer

maybe thats professional for u...but its cheap childish behavior for me...

It feels like they cant defend their title in 2008 thats why they r crying so hard..

[sub7er]

@ns..to tell u the truth...wat ferrari is currently doing..shows that they have already accepted defeat..n r on the backfoot before the season has even started...its soo explicit that ferrari just dont have the balls to fight it out on the racing circiut where it counts the most..lol!
