Following last weekend's European Grand Prix, where McLaren's Kimi
Raikkonencrashed out on the last lap, FIA president Max Mosley has
written to theFormula One teams to remind them of their safety
responsibilities. There hasbeen some debate about the safety of the 2005
tyre rules, which werehighlighted when a flat-spot on Raikkonen's tyre
eventually led to asuspension failure.
"It should not be forgotten that a mechanical failure at high speed
mayinvolve a degree of risk to the spectating public," Mosley said in
theletter. "If you are in any doubt about your car, you should always
call itin. If you are still in doubt after checking the car in the pits,
you shouldretire it from the race."
Mosley said that he was not criticising McLaren for not bringing
Raikkonenin for a tyre change -- a decision that most other teams would
probably havealso taken in the circumstances -- nor did he want to feed
the "hysteria"about tyres, but felt it right to remind the teams of
safety issues.
"The rules of Formula One have always left it to each team to judge how
farto go in balancing performance against mechanical integrity," he
added."Equally, when a car's mechanical integrity has, or may have,
beencompromised by a race incident, it is for the team to decide whether
tocontinue, make a pit stop or retire."
"The race director does of course have the option of a black and orange
flagbut would use this only in an extreme situation. The team is always
betterplaced to assess the risks than anyone in race control."
Mosley also wrote to tyre manufacturers Michelin and Bridgestone to ask
themto be stringent about tyre reliability. He said the FIA, which lacks
thetechnical knowledge to fully assess the tyres, relied on the suppliers
"toensure that no risks are taken in the pursuit of performance."

mosley cerca di pararsi il c.. questo č evidente da questo comunicato.
Forse questo nuovo regolamento sulle gomme, da lui portato avanti come
"safety measure" non č poi cosě "safe"

 "safety measure" non è poi così "safe"
Peccato che l'incidente sia stato causato non da una gomma consumata, ma
da una gomma consumata in modo anomalo. Per cui a quel punto sta al
concorrente decidere cosa fare. Il regolamento è noto e ha permesso di
limitare le prestazioni. Poi c'è chi ha preferito (Stoddart) scaricare
eventuali problemi di sicurezza sul regolamento invece che sulle decisioni
che spettano ai muretti dei box, e quindi la FIA ha chiarito quali sono i
limiti del suo intervento e quali sono invece i "doveri" delle squadre.
