Regardless of who has done what surely the blame lies primarily with FIA for not being there in the first place? Investigations will prove no doubt to be controversial.

Rubbish. The FIA lays down the rules, they do not play detective just in case something like this happens:Quote:

I am just curious how this will be solved in the end. Apparently Bernie has had a hand in it, so I wonder if Todt will take this chance to hit him too.

lewis first year in a new team what is it ? spygate tyregate
To my knowledge he wasn't involved directly with Spygate, although he gave evidence at the time in defence of the team.
on the other thread, I posted that in season testing makes all the difference for developing tires. Plus given the mandate to change the tires each year to make them less predictable, so that they will do what they are now doing....and the result is this tribunal crap to add to the spectacle that F1 has become :rolleyes:
