Κι ιδού η απάντηση στη -λογική- απορία που έθεσα προηγουμένως...
Ανακοίνωση της FIA σχετικά με το πανέξυπνο σχέδιο πληροφόρησης των ομάδων μέσω e-mail.
The following is a press release from the FIA.
'A communication from the Stewards requiring all competitors to fit extreme wet-weather tyres for safety reasons was sent to all teams by email at 12:35 hrs local time today. Save for Scuderia Ferrari, all competitors have confirmed that they received the email at 12:37 hrs.
'It is understood that Scuderia Ferrari did not receive the email at the same time as other competitors. As a result, Scuderia Ferrari was the only team which did not start on extreme wet-weather tyres.
'The 2007 Formula One Sporting Regulations (Art. 15. 1) state that in exceptional circumstances Stewards or Race Director may give instructions to Competitors by means of special circulars in accordance with the Code and these circulars will be distributed to all competitors who must acknowledge receipt.
'At a meeting of the Formula One Sporting Working Group held in Monaco on 7th December 2006, all teams agreed to an electronic distribution system to ensure that all competitors received communications simultaneously, with no time advantage for a team by virtue of their location in the pit lane. This system has been used throughout the current championship year.
'To avoid any recurrence of today's problem the agreed method of using electronic communications will continue to be used but in future will be backed up by the traditional method of written communication.'
Πάλι καλά που δεν τα στέλνανε και με sms...
Είναι εκπληκτικό πώς αυτοί οι άνθρωποι αποδεικνύουν ότι πέρα από τη γκλαμουριά και το φαίνεσθαι της τελειότητας... είναι ικανοί για τεράστιες γκάφες!
Και φυσικά μιλάω για όλο το συνάφι, γιατί -όπως αναφέρει η FIA- είχαν συμφωνήσει όλοι σε αυτό το χαβαλεδίστικο σύστημα πληροφόρησης...
