I will actually blame HAAS, in addition to VET, on this because they have the stupid policy on not warning their drivers of approaching traffic. Mr. Steiner, the TP, says it's the responsibility of the driver to know the position and closure rate of approaching cars. This is stupid and unreasonable.

But keep up your rhetoric.
I don't understand this logic. All current and past F1 drivers have said that the mirrors are almost impossible to see out of, and why would you not want to give your driver all the info you have?

I know. It's insanity. While I understand about driver overload, this seems foolish in the extreme.

Perhaps RIC will end up in a Prancing Horse when VET is put out to pasture.

If mini Schumacher does well during the Ferrari tests, RIC may have some competition.
