WTF? I don't remember seeing any 'scrutineers' mincing around in the Ferrari garages when they were blatantly issuing team orders to keep Schumacher in front, so how come Max is sending in the spies to make sure poor 'ickle Fernando doesn't get picked on?

Well, to use the old identity card argument, if the've nothing to hide, they shouldn't be bothered

But I have to say WTF!

that's good then so when the better drive LH wins, FA wont be able to say he was prejudiced against.

the whole situation is getting quite ridiculous, not that I am bothered; got car to paint, dashboards to wire no time for this nonsense.

Maybe because McLaren photocopies Ferrari's plans and stuff?

Same here, great post

I wonder if the same scrutineers will be watching for efforts to take Hamilton out of the race - a much more likely scenario I'd imagine, especially considering first corner tactics at Spa.

Bernie wants to ensure that Lewis is champion. He needs the viewers next year.

next you'll be suggesting that the FIA think that Ferrari are the only team in F1 and that they should be allowed to break the rules, cheating as often as they deem necessary...

Presumably it's because of McLarens preference for Hamilton that they left him out for 3 laps on completely knackered tyres in China leading to him dropping it in the pitlane!!!

I found an article in the Autosport site about last years China GP qualifying Alonso was jumping up and down and generally toy throwing because he felt Renault should give him preference over Fisichella

So if Alonso sees through his 3 year contract there will be a permanent FIA observer planted in the Mac emporium? What a joke. I can for- see some serious legal implications about all this faffing around honestly.

macdave69 - 12/10/07 at 05:19 AM

seeing as I don't watch F1, have I missed something interesting???

personally I prefer bike racing, This year's WSB watch down to the wire and we got a British champion, not that anyone seems to have noticed in the real world

Gergely - 12/10/07 at 08:01 AM

I wonder what they will do if Alonso goes to Renault where Briatore clearly said that the world champion deserves a better treatment...
I think they should take his two titles away, because he was favoured to his teammate...

martyn_16v - 12/10/07 at 08:15 AM

Of course i'm sure the angels at Ferrari will be giving just as much attention to Massa as they will to Raikonnen next weekend...
