Does this picture look wierd

Post

After looking at this picture I find it wierd what could they be comparing, they run on different tires, Renault compared to Williams & Ferrari. Also engines too. So wierd



Image
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Maybe its what shampoo they use??

As the Ferrari bloke doesn't use it, he isn't joining in.

On a serious note, I have no idea. Like you say, they arn't on the same tyres or owt.

I belive this pic was taken when they were all wondering about the strange red flag. In TV, commentators explained that the FIA had to get back datas (lap times) from the teams because their own timing system did crash down. I assume they were comparing times from their owns systems.

Has that pic been edited? Mr Renault looks OK where he is, perhaps he fits in a little too well. The Ferrari guy looks almost as if he has been cropped from another pic and pasted on. The way he stands and direction he is looking. Also he doesn't quite seem as the same scale as the others. Or are Manchild's conspiracy theorys making me paranoid.

F1 is full of corruption. It probably is real, but then again where did motorsport.com get the pic from. Perhaps they didn't look closely and picked up a phony. This is Manchilds fault, convincing me the whole of F1 is out to screw me over :wink: !

I will look again tomorrow. I might be alert enough to know by then.

Comparing times if I'm not mistaken. It is done on all races and yesterday teams had to assist official timing because main computer crashed and that is why there was long pause between Q1 and Q2.
