My words not his
It was an inexcusable race on his part, but the simple fact was, he just touched the throttle, and the car was backwards, that is not a case of, he was over doing the throttle pedal because it happend the moment he touched it. Which suggests to me, as bad as he was, there was something wrong with the setup somewhere.
Now Ferrari have gone to Jerez, set the car up as it was in France and piece by piece added on the parts they had used from France onwards, which is where the car started to go wrong. They found that it was the rear suspension that was causing a loss in speed and have now removed the offending pieces and at least found the car to be better balanced. Now they are having to play catch up having had to waste the last major test of the season on finding the problem. Which will mean friday practices will be spent evaluating new pieces as well as setting the cars up.
