Well, maybe a little more gray/white, since he is 1 year older....we are talking about Arrivabene right? :lol:

The Pirelli launch in Turin created more questions than answers, but it was odd, weird in fact, that Ferrari did not send its team principal along. It’s only round the corner from Maranello. Lamborghini boss Stefano Donemicali was there, Eric Boullier flew in for McLaren. OK Toto Wolff and Christian Horner might have recorded messages but for Ferrari not to send along Maurizio Arrivabene was just strange. What was he doing? Bolting the cars together? The rumblings among the Italian media at the event were that Ferrari is very worried about its performance this year and its desire to try to get the FIA to stop certain suspension systems is because it does not fully understand what they do and an FIA ruling might throw some more light on the systems.

His absence is weird but I dont see how it can be connected to those theoretical problems.

Anyway, the way is Ferrari protesting against this "active" suspension is worrying because it clearly shows that they dont manage it.

Pertamina, Blancpain and Pirelli are the main sponsors of the "Super Trofeo" series created by Lamborghini.

That makes sense, it was described as a launch party somewhere so I thought it was for the official 2017 tyre. But then there'd have been 17 news stories and 3 threads I suppose :)

No, sorry, these are two wrong conclusions.
Nothing behind Arrivabene not being there. And also the "fight" against the active suspension is obvious. Even if they know how to build it, Merc and RedBull have an edge on the setup. They know the system simply one year longer and have much more data, which gives them an advantage for the next years. So even if Ferrari can build a good system it is better to fight it.

Which is something Ferrari has done everytime they haven´t been able to copy a system. They have the right to do it and perhaps they can get a partial ban or limitation of the system which would give them the chance of having a version of that system which has the the same performance.
