...and that may be true but I'd rather think that what
happened in Melbourne is, (1) Ferrari's engines aren't
quite stable yet and, (2) A whole bunch of talented
drivers just learned that there is a honkin-big
difference between practicing against the clock,
without driver aids, and dicing with 20+ other racers
AND having to deal with a car just being a car.

What I expect is that instead of reinstalling driver
aids (in the short term), the drivers will learn to be
more cautious WHILE competing.  That may be counter to
what the F1 Management wanted.  It may make more
boring races, not more competitive driving.

Opinions?

model and be free to do anything technologically that
they please!
