Gearbox problems at Arrows

[Gerard]

The Arrows is the most unreliable car of the grid at the moment.
Most of their non-finishes are due to gearbox problems.
They obviously can't get these problems fixed, but they are working on it.
Look at their website under 'Jobs.'

Wanted: Gearbox Technician.

Gearbox performance and reliability are vital factors in the competitive world of F1. You will play a pro-active team role in ensuring we achieve optimum results, building and maintaining F1 gearboxes to the highest possible standards.

Ideally you will have served a Mechanical/Engineering apprenticeship and have previous gearbox building experience.

Judging from Sunday's cruel twist of fate for Pedro, I think the engine needs taking a look at too...

That also was the gearbox MF, not the engine. So both cars had to retire with gearbox problems for the last 2 races.

Guys it is a real petty that two very good drivers suffer from such an unreliable car. Pedro was even keeping the distance with Rubinho and he could have even finished in the podium.

and it was also good to see:"fastes lap -Jos Verstappen Arrows-supertec" when Jos was chasing the pack after his front wing change.

but 10 gp's x 2 cars = 20 attempts, Jos finished 3 times, Pedro 2 times so they finished only 25 %, it's really bad.

Ok, it may have been the gearbox, but from our standing area there was clearly smoke coming from the engine too - so if the gearbox hadn't packed in something else would have anyway.
