34theletterbetweenB&D Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 [Historical reverie] I well recall the total amazement at the results when Sir Jackie Stewart was put to the test, many years after retirement from competitive motor sport, and he could not only consistently quickly find the fastest path through a corner; but was then repeating this path within a track only 50mm wider than the width over the car's wheels.

But I do note from the article that Ferrari now have four drivers doing simulator work. Seems to make a mockery of the so-called "cost saving" measures, not that I am a fan of them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thoughts exactly, but you don't get the funding by languishing in last place week after week. I think once they show some results, then they might be saved, but it's a big hill to climb from where they finished last year. F1 is bloomin expensive, and with all the passion Frank and Claire might have, they do not have the biggest of pockets to keep propping up the wage and travelling expenses, let alone development. I do hope they make it, even getting off the bottom would be a start, but who could be worse than them, certainly not Racing Point going by last years results, or Hass and Alfa Romeo, with the Ferrari Power units, possibly Renault if they get it badly wrong, or the Honda powered Cars if they go backwards, so they do have a dilemma, interesting times ahead by the looks of it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 So any firm who uses a stylised image of a stag's head could infringe their logo.. The two are different, end of. If you do a google image search of stag's head logos you'll see lots of very similar ones from different companies... I don't see any of them suing each other!

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted February 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2019 C'mon, they're very, very, very similar! I'd go the other way, as suggest can you violate IP if you make the most minuscule change possible? That's basically what the Chinese do with various car designs, and claim they're not copies. What is odd is that Jon Whyte (from the eponymous Whyte Bikes) was a suspension designer for Benetton F1 in a past life. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 So are lots of others that are on that search I mentioned... The font's different as well... The only people that make money from that sort of action are the (overpaid) lawyers! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
