Welsh Magpie 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 what do you think about Bernie's suggestion to make it a bit more exciting with artificial rain??? It's not going to happen it wouldnt make it more exciting it would make it slower and more dangerous. We all love to see crashes but what if a driver was killed by artificial rain surely there would be someone to blame. Anyway as i said it wont ever happen.

Giraffidae 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 artificial rain, yeh right Bernie, knowing his love for Ferrari, if they’re some way down the field he’d turn on the rain just as the leaders had past the pits giving enough time for the Ferraris to pit and put some wets on before anyone else. Could make a lot of boring races entertaining — but too open to abuse for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Surely artificial rain would be incredibly wasteful and costly, especially in the increasing number of hot, dry places like Abu Dhabi, Bahrain etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6308 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 what do you think about Bernie's suggestion to make it a bit more exciting with artificial rain??? Bernie's doing nothing more than diverting attention away from the cancellation of the Bahrain GP. He pulled a similar stunt when the Mosley german hooker thing was at it's height by claiming Hilter wasn't such a bad bloke after all. Wiley old fox who has made his billions out of manipulating the media. Anyone who thinks he's just a bumbling idiot with little tact have vastly under-estimated him. Whenever F1 gets into the press for bad reasons, he comes out with something that is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a sport where they're going to inordinate lengths to reduce carbon footprint and demonstrate sustainability, they can't possibly justify pumping what little water some of the middle eastern states have onto the track. That said however I don't think illuminating the entire Marina Bay circuit in Singapore is particularly sustainable but it doesn't seem to stop him.

snakehips 0 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm just wondering what on earth snakey had to edit. I knew some smartiepants would question it When I typed it, it was one line right across the page. When it's posted it goest to two lines for some strange reason. I edited it to take some letters out in an attempt to get it back to one line - thus giving the 'comment' it's true effect. All without success, as you can see.
