I was saying that the main objective for cars manufacturers pumping in so much money into F1 is to sell more cars. Which you think is otherwise.Originally posted by Gedanken:Oh, so only manufacturers take part in F1? I think you'd better open your eyes and watch F1.
Then I dont quite understand why you start talking about private non manufacturers whom you know and I know are not putting that sort of money, with the exception of RBR who is trying to sell more drinks instead.
Btw, Ferrari is the only team that say they still sell cars to race, but from my point of view, F1 is their main marketing tools because Ferrari doesnt pay money for advertisement -
1) We were talking the importance of race engineers and drivers working relationship.Originally posted by Gedanken:*Yawn* You're going back to old ground that's already been covered in the past 9 pages and then some.

You mentioned that these are not important because setting up a race car is the same regardless who is doing what.
2) We were talking about how technology changes they way the work together and that is where we talk about communication (not verbal communication) between drivers and engineers
You said that communication between drivers and engineers hasnt change for the last 20 years. (That to me is that same as saying that the MP4/4 is the same as MP4/21 because they are still having 4 wheels, 1 driver, 1 fuel tank and 2 sets for brakes.

Pedro de la Rosa has issued a warning to McLaren to expect a difficult transition in the 2007 season.
The Spanish test driver, in a huddle of his national journalists at the team's Woking factory on Thursday, was visibly still disappointed to have recently missed out on the seat alongside Fernando Alonso to the GP2 rookie Lewis Hamilton.
2007 will be the first year in more than a decade in which McLaren will enter a season with a completely new race line-up.
De la Rosa, 35, told the Spanish newspaper Marca: "I believe that stability is very important. Change can sometimes be a very bad thing, like after 2004 when Williams lost both Ralf Schumacher and (Juan Pablo) Montoya.
"It was a disaster.
"
Team boss Ron Dennis said on Thursday that Pedro's future at the Mercedes powered team 'is secure', even if de la Rosa did not rule out leaving the sport at the end of the season.
Pedro commented: "I cannot deny that their decision is difficult to accept, but my attitude and the professionalism of my work is not going to change.
"My motivation in 2007 is to help Fernando to win the championship."
