Felipe Massa has predictably chosen la
Scuderia ex-team mate "Fredrico Suave," aka Fernando Alonso to come
out on top vs. his new Prancing Horse stable mate Kimi Raikkonen, by claiming
the Spaniard is more clever than thee 'Kimster is, which all sounds like a 'Wee
bit 'O sour grapes to Mwah.
Interestingly, what I wasn't aware of until
starting to search round about le Intrawoods, nee Internetz was the fact that this year's F1 chassis will
be utilizing "Fly-by-Wire," electronic rear braking, in order to work
in concert with the massively complex Energy Recovery systems, (ERS) to which
Massa has noted require a whole new braking method which he's still trying to
get to grips with, which makes me think of 'Ol Dario's (Franchitti)
difficulties of trying to reprogram his brain towards right foot braking for
the new DW12, which I'm not sure if he ever actually succeeded on converting or
not?
Also believe that the new ERS is supposed to
allow for either a longer duration of
"Hyper-space" mode, i.e.; when the ERS "Turbo" button is
pressed, while I know it'll definitely give a higher horsepower boost vs. last
year's KERS 80bhp - as the new 1.6-liter V-6 turbo units are reumoured to
produce 600bhp with ERS providing an extra 160bhp boost!
