What on earth is going on in FIA.?

Why are McLaren being persecuted over "malpractices" which have been endemic and largely unsanctioned in the sport for years? Is it all down to Max Mosley's well-documented antipathy towards Ron Dennis as a result of previous clashes vis a vis the Grand Prix Manufacturers Association? What about Renault's previous "infringements" against McLaren, which went largely unreported and unsanctioned? Not to mention several others.

If whatever "transference of information" (by a disenchanted Ferrari employee) is deemed to have resulted in improved McLaren performance warranting the docking of Constructors Championship points, then surely the relevant Drivers' Championships points also should have been docked, as they too must have benefited from such "transference of information".

But no, the docking of points in the driver championship would stem the public's recent revitalisation towards F!, and act to the detriment of the sport, and all the sponsors, supporters and hanger's on that are a major part of Formula 1. Political decision or what!!!

Let's face it, this season has been the best in a long series of Ferrari denominated boring encounters, and guess who's trying to upset the applecart? Yeah right!

Well I for one thought it was a most lucid post, left no doubt in my mind what you were saying Minx. Maybe you should watch Moto GP or Superbikes, where pole position is not the be all and end all of racing Wink

Is the fact that everyone else was doing it a proper defence?

There has ALWAYS been one rule for Ferrari and one rule for everyone else. When other teams have started to catch them up, Ferrari insist on a rule change in order to maintain the gap. This is one of the reasons why I no longer watch F1 (one of the others is that it is on ITV and the race is ruined so that ITV can sell bits of time to advertisers at inflated prices)
