Hello ? Both Holden and FORD signed off on the new aero packages.

Will FORD screw themselves again through blatant impcompetence ?

Pffttt, this has happened in the past, and will happen in the future. How many F1 teams have wing failures at the start of the season? Think about how much they put into testing them etc. Fixing things like this shouldn't be the end of the world, a pain in the arse maybe...

There is no way to make Ford teams and supporters happy First they complain about no front downforce,now they have to much and the chassis flexes They make a rear wing wider,use the same uprights on the end and wonder why it breakes in the middle when it creates more downforce as well

I'm sorry, but how is it Holdens fault that the Ford rear wing is breaking, and the front spoiler is causing chassis flex (highly doubt that, sounds like typical tabloid reporting style knowledge) and is also causing problems with ground clearance under braking????????

I am so sick to death of hearing "poor Ford, Holden have screwed us again bla bla bloody bla". Seems like Ford is totally capable of screwing itself to me, IF you believe all of the hysteria, which quite frankly sounds like a bunch of malarchy.

Ford have had every chance, just the same as Holden to come up with something that works, and apart from these minor little things (if a broken wing is a minor thing?) reports are that the cars are faster and feel better.

How about we just give the cars a chance to actually do some racing, stop complaining like a bunch of children and actually try to enjoy the seasons racing!

Here we go again Ford fans. But better to start with too much downforce than not enough. The teams just need to stand up and not allow blueprint to take away too much.
