In the 2010, My RIO's daughter was working for NASA (Huston) in the weather satellite program. About a month after buying her new house, she attended a block party wearing her "Yes, I am a Rocket Scientist" shirt with a NASA
logo and her name on it. Wandering around with a plate of food and meeting the new neighbors, petting dogs... she was abruptly approached by a woman (presumed to be in her late 40s and wearing an Obama 08 shirt) who felt the need to let Sharon know what a
waste of money NASA was and that far too much money was being wasted on war rockets that should to go to helping the needy. Sharon was polite to her and told her she had nothing to do with launching weapons and that she built weather satellites. The woman
responded that was an EVEN BIGGER WASTE of money... "If you want to know what the weather is, just turn on The Weather Channel. They can show you exactly what the weather is, anywhere". Sharon didn't say a word, just smiled, turned and went straight to the
table with the beer keg.
What's your favorite line Mr. Keegan?? "Ya can't fix stupid"

Some time ago I was at a JPL party and met a friend of a friend – she was also a rocket scientist. She was set to launch some coffee can thing out of Vandenberg. I asked to see her index finger – the one
that was going to launch the rocket – she politely corrected me . . . we use our two thumbs on two buttons. Ahhhhh. With a relish, I applauded her for “teaching an old Doug a new tricks.” We all smiled. Lively party you guys are.
Onward

They actually handed these out at work. Logo redacted for export purposes...
Curiosity doesn't constitute a need to know...
I was trained to and can read between lines...
Unofficially? Glad you are on my side.
If you're not cheating, you're not trying.
And officially, I only put PowerPoint presentations together...
“Knowing better” has no affect when in the throes of competition. Interpretation is in the mind of the crafty. If it’s not explicitly excluded by the rules (yet), exploit the rules
with the technology in front of you. My heroes in F1 have always been the engineers (Terrell, Murray, Brawn, Newey, etc). If this is true, this is precisely the guile that makes F1 fascinating (for me). And, it doesn’t happen enough. Level playing fields
are for the addled. Want a driver’s series? watch Indy cars.
For the same reasons, I’m thankful people like our own Dr. E are on my side in the field of Weapons technology.
As the Great Smokey Yunick said... it’s my job to cheat. It’s their job to catch me.”
I agree with Clyde's statement that Ferrari knows better than to cheat (and for the reason - McLaren - stated). But, while I admittedly am not well-versed on the technical regs, I can't help but wonder if
this is another instance where a team thinks they have found a competitive advantage not addressed in the regs, a la blown diffusers and "fiddle brakes", etc.????
Thanks - I do think it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Like Charles, I found the very notion to be intriguing - something my simple brain would never have conceived of (which I guess is why
I'm not an F1 engineer!). 😉

Got this from a private group but hadn't heard anything about it. Very intriguing. Anyone know anything more?
As the week begins there are some updates in the F1 world. Read an article that 3 teams that have filed a protest against Ferrari. The protest relates to where Ferrari has found all the HP they?re making.
I had this discussion with xxxx, earlier in the season about Shell engineers being trackside on race weekends taking samples of oil from the Ferrari engine. Remember last year the car was continually trailing smoke from the tailpipe.
The suspicion was, Shell was adding some volatile additives that were being plumbed via the EGR system, into the intake.
Now it seems to have gone a bit further, Ferrari is not using water/coolant in the intercooler system but some type of oil. In itself that isn?t a violation. But some teams are having concern that the oil is boiling off some type of additive that is then being
plumbed into the intake post intercooler, that is increasing HP. No determinations or comments from the FIA about any of this. I can see Liberty Media taking some part in silencing it for viewership/competition just as they allowed Honda to bring 4 in-season
engine updates. Last thing they want to see is AMG taking another DC/CC in 2020 uncontested.
If this is going on, Renault, Honda and all the Ferrari&AMG customer teams having a legitimate bitch.
F1 is a game of constant updates and cheating wherever they can get away with it. Just part of the game.
