So simple it's brilliant!
Hey guys, remember after Silverstone, Sam Michael, Williams Chief Engineer spoke of a secret tactic? (he had a thread all about it...... http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...5&pagenumber=1 and Mr Kitson, you were way off the mark ) Well, in this months F1Racing Peter Windsor explained how it worked, and as the title of the thread says, it's so simple it's brilliant.
What the Williams pit crew did was.......... Have both sets of tyres in the pit box at the same time, and the guys just worked round them. Chief Mechanis Carl Gaden shouted "Ralf" over the radio to avoid confusion and a disqualification for using the wrong tyres on the wrong car. Whilst Rafe was having his tyres fitted Rubens was at the exact same time, but once both Rafe and Rubens exited their pit boxes, the tyres were in place already for Juan Pablo's stop at the same time as the Ferrari mechanics were running back into the garage to get Michaels tyres!!! Brilliant ay, and i can't believe that no-one has thought of this before!! Last edited by Mr V; 18 Aug 2003 at 05:36. |
