The Anonymous Widower

Simple Is Efficient

I watched the qualifying for the Grand Prix at lunchtime and it put forward an interesting proposition.

Since the unfortunate accident to Felipe Massa, the second Ferrari driver has struggled.  First Luca Badoer, the test driver was very disappointing.  Today, Giancarlo Fisichella  qualified almost last.  Yet last week, he was on pole and came second for Force India at Spa.

Now the performance of Fisichella is strange, given that his replacement at Force India, Vitantonio Liuzzi qualified in seventh.

I just wonder if the Ferrari has all sorts of gizmos and gadgets that it is very difficult to learn.  It’s got KERS for a start.

Whereas the team with the smaller budget can’t afford them and has taken a simpler and easier approach.

A simple and efficient design is always better in my opinion.
