Yeah they did say they'd effectively take the fine out of McLaren's winnings but either way they're going to be $100m worse off than
they would have been. That's gotta hurt

Well I'm sure I've read or heard today something more concerning in that Mclaren will before they are allowed to race have to prove that
they have not used technology advantages taken from any other manufacturers. WTF is that all about. How quick will Lewis be in a pedal
car .
Also if they've got to prove it then presumeably the whole of the FIA will know Mclarens spec.???????????????
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I heard that too, apparently the FIA will be inspecting their car before the start of next season. As for knowing the spec, I'm pretty sure all
the teams would have to divulge everything to the FIA anyway so I don't think it'll really make a difference.

I've just read the 14 page adobe down load from the FIA formula one site (first you read their article on the news page and at the bottom it say
click here to read full report) and I think its a load off horse hockey. The real guilty parties are the 2 spanish drivers but they got get out
of jail free cards.
Page 10, 5.3, basically say there is no evidence of copying but we don't think that is true.
Page 11, 8.5 was also interesting but it all makes me so that I've forgotten what it was.
But yes the ammout they will pay is the fine less what they might reasonably have been expected to receive.
It still has to hurt.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

As Jolly green says from the report there is no cast iron proof of an advantage by spying. Ferrari want Ron out, as I suspect does Bernie. God knows
why though he's one if not the strongest personality in F1 IMHO (could thats the prob eh)
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Those are the two sections of the report which I found worst too - see my post
here
Absolutely wrong decision again from Ferraris Internal Advisors.

The most telling point was in the report in yesterday's Independent when they reported that "the FIA offered to drop the charges if Ron
would announce his retirement"
Obviously if you can win with whatever technical rules they put in the way and threaten to make fools of the powers that be they will try to get even
using every tool at their disposal.
Go stuff em Ron!!!
