[QUOTE="Juan Powerblow, post: 272793, member: 20"] Ferrari test driver Marc Gene says he is surprised that wrongly pressing the button for the pit lane speed limiter ruined McLaren newcomer Heikki Kovalainen's quest for fourth place in Australia. Kovalainen on Sunday said he accidentally pressed the button as he tore a rip-off from his helmet visor, which undid the effort of his daring overtaking manoeuvre on Fernando Alonso. [COLOR=navy]"I was surprised,"[/COLOR] Spaniard Gene wrote in a column for the newspaper [I]El Mundo[/I]. Despite McLaren's denials, Gene is convinced that pressing the wrong button also caused Lewis Hamilton to slow down in the title-deciding Brazilian Grand Prix last October. [COLOR=#000080]"It is incredible that McLaren still have not done anything about it after that incident cost them so dearly,"[/COLOR] he remarked. Gene points out that Ferrari's own speed limit system can only be activated when a driver is in a low gear, not at close to top speed on a main straight, as was Kovalainen at the time of his finger trouble at Albert Park.
