Re: Formula 1 Talk 2007 Season
the FIA should be making some more statements later today to clear up and clarify all of this.
I think the fine is £50 minus any money McLaren have already earned this year.
We still need to know if any Ferrari info made it into a McLaren design
or
Whether McLaren used any Ferrari operational data like fuel strategy, weight of car etc etc to their advantage.
Apparently a McLaren employee left the team for Renault and took some McLaren docs with him and designed the same cooling system on the Renault as McLaren use this year. This was going to be part of their defence.
It seems the sport has now got so complex that these design things help the team more than having a quick driver these days and maybe they need to look into the very heart of the sport.
The other year Toyota were found guilty in a German Court of Law of stealing Ferrari data and the FIA did nothing at all
