2001: In mid-season TC/LC was let go on the basis that it couldn't be controlled and it wasn't good for the image of the sport to have every win devalued by suspicions of cheating. Heck, Mosley even said that a team was doing it.
Now it's said that this is no longer a concern, but I just can't believe it. If FIA is so on top of this now, despite the advances in technology, why weren't they then?
I say that If it is a doable job now, then it must have been a doable job in 2001 as well, which leads me to speculate if there could have been ulterior motives for letting it go.
Can someone sort me out on this.
Why was TC allowed in the first place?

Maybe the $1,000,000.00 reward for turning in cheaters has something to do with it. A team wrench could live a long and happy life with that in the bank!

The team who should have lost ground to the others when TC was legal on the basis they were apparently the only ones using it?
Yet somehow buggered off into the distance, neatly implying that they were the team least using it?
Equally the team you think want it banned even though its introduction was the spur for their greatest dominence since 61?
"yes"
"Well done"

are you aware of the term "numpty" perchance?

Because they had perfected it & added all the illegal gizmos that they were too scared to add to it?Originally posted by Dudley

The problem started when Benetton had TC hidden on their system but the FIA could not prove they had been using it. So in the interests of a level playing field they gave up.
Now, where did those Benetton designers, engineers and chief drivers end up?

the Open Conspiracy in F1, heh, the TC-Triangle of Brawn, Czapski & Schumacher leaves an obvious trail. To wicked to be treu? Maybe it's not even close to the truth, because that's always more wicked. And the best way to hide somthing is there in the open.
And of course the lack of evidence again proves the conspiracy and spreads the web.... WITH evidence it wouldn't be any kind of good one.
f1 will be gr8 again in 2003..... isn't?

People say Tad Czapski is really good, and he probably is, but as ever, looking at the errors, when there have been some, they have been very visible, and one could say that Tad's work is not really subtle enough. For example, the Benetton Launch control two years ago. A slightly smaller delay would still gain places but would not be so blatant. The way Jarno's car chnaged direction at Australia last year. And indeed the way the rear light flashed and Ruben's fuel flap opened when he took to the grass that year in Silverstone. None of that is subtle enough for what is meant to be a secretive and undetectable, uncopyable.

you will find that f1 is a circle of lets ban lets bring back lets ban lets bring back lets ban lets bring back
i remember watching the trials and all the posting about sennas death and there were strong talks saying that driver aids would be banned indefinatley.....what happens nearly 10 years later they all come back again and with two way telemetary.....its not going to change...theylll re introduce slicks i believe and manula gears but after 5 years it will all be reintroduced again so lets stop worrying about it
