As far as I know, they hadn't used any info in their cars. Was it one dude or was the team found to be spying? Seems harsh, has to be more to the story.

Ferrari make nice cars but they cheat at F1. I thought it was just Schumacher but obviously they will do anything to win, even if they are slower.

Glad Lewis will still get to take out the title!
Ok so maybe Alonso is in with a chance too. :)

Guilt by association.
Coghlan had the docos at home, BUT he was a McLaren employee.

What flexible floor?????
What?? Parked my car in the middle of the track during qualifying??? Nah...
Felipe's fuel??? it was in there a minute ago.......
Rubins didnt deserve to win the race after leading every lap... let MS win...
Who broke Felipe's rear suspension???? Shit, McLaren did it along with Kimi's hydraulic failures and making him crash into the barrier in Monaco quali...

Need I go on.....

[QUOTE=BlackSTi]It does make you wonder. Mclaren are convicted of of spying and using that data to field an illegal car ( although how much if any is ferrari technology is debatable ) and are punished for it.

The drivers who are competing in that so called illegal car are allowed to keep all their points AND continue racing it. :confused: :confused: :confused:

ONLY IN FORMULA 1

I think it is all a load of horse shit anyway. Look at how many cars have started sprouting front wings similar to mclarens with the hoop or those that tried the cow horns last year.

They all copy each other. Get over it.[/QUOTE]


The drivers arnt punished because they are quite simply that - drivers.

They are not team managers, designers, engineers etc etc.

They are the ones who would use the data.

Either way the decision is a fucking joke. The FIA(T) is a Ferrari witchhunter specialist it seems.

Jealousy due to losing out this year for the lose!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

When Ferrari ran hidden traction control and EVERYONE knew it, guess what was done about it. NOTHING

I've been a Williams fan since day dot, but I like McLaren too, and hate Ferrari. Fucking fuckers!!!

Yeah I met the new Williams CEO a few times, nice bloke. Hope they can get back in the game.

Sir Frank?

joeman 14-09-2007 02:27 PM

I dont hate Ferrari as such. I do like to see them lose though.

I just hate the dicks who, when asked about F1, reply ~in rockape voice~ Ferrari are the best.. they go fastest.. all the others are shit..

No point arguing with you professor, you obviously have an eye for the technology, engineering, R&D and strategy that goes into ALL F1 cars and applies to ALL F1 teams.

Read Paul Stoddarts attack on Max?

"FIA = Ferrari International Assist"

LOLZERS!!

joeman 14-09-2007 02:42 PM

I know he wasnt a Max fan. Max is a facisist like his old man was.

Lewis's pass on Kimi last weekend was one of the best I've seen in a long time. Up there with Mika's pass on MS using Zonta's BAR as the meat in the sandwich. SPA 2000 I think.

teejay 14-09-2007 02:45 PM

Definitely showed his isnt scared to get racey, especially when he is in the best position possible to be 2007 WDC, and im sure he is pretty desperate to stay number one.
