It's incredible how the rumours and counter rumours, executions, guilty finds, punishments, exclusions and bans are flying around like bats in the night - all blind.
The hearing is tomorrow, so guys, better make hay while the moon shines. After that, the hearing will come out with evidence and all the theories will be obsolete.
Go Elvis!!!When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

this spygate stuff really really stinks. this stuff is starting to resemble the tribal warfare going on in iraq and elsewhere. imagine, finally i have some time to devote to this sport, then blam. last year i was too involved with the hospital. this year was the first time in decades that i've had the time for f1 and, it seems that all change has been for the worst. f1 needs to bring in new management: starting at the top! hell, i didn't even know jack about hamilton, until the first race. then i became excited because i felt, here was a chance to see something at the beginning. if this event dosen't shake out right, publicly presented, clear evidence of either guilty->PUNISHMENT,

This maybe also an evidence that I see no significant difference

Is it really honest racing or is it all about sponsors, money and entertainment.
nothing in most forms of entertainment is real or true....although I know some children who would disagree on Harry Potter....stuff about sponsors is really funny because sponsors love publicity but they do not care to have their name on a car that is perceived as a "cheater"...but as in American football has been discovered that as long as you win, the sponsors still come--cheating or not, dog fighting or not, steroids or not, and so it will be with F1, regardless of how many "pure fans" feel about it
Funny is how supporters of the brit to be WDC and his team are so willing to claim witch hunt and jump to the defense of stealing with immunity...aand it proves the above points (as long as your champion wins...so what...it is just a witch hunt...)
Seems the kool aid effect can be healthy to aid in selective forgetting and forgiving.....Only the dead know the end of war. Plato:beer:

They have also lost key people who contributed to their success, and as a result their team structure has changed. Inevitably this has had an impact on performance and reliability.

Quite frankly, the constant whining of Ferrari and Todt has become tiresome. It would seem that their interpretation of all this "evidence" has produced something of a tunnel vision induced truth and any verdict that differs from their idea of the truth is wrong or the result of favoritism. In reality it seems that the evidence they are offering isn't strong enough for anyone else to arrive at Ferrari's truth as the only reasonable explaination. It also appears that none of the evidence given to the courts or police has been strong enough to issue immediate arrest warrants.
It's time for Ferrari to put on their big boy knickers and either absolutely prove their case beyond all reasonable doubt or shut up and figure out how to make their cars faster.If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.
If Hyundai enters 4 cars in one or more rallies, I would imagine them being Tanak, Neuville, Lappi and Mikkelsen.
