A season without controversy would be nice...
Ofcource everthing needs to be proven but i wonder how much millions those information is worth.

i cannot see any conceivable reason why the two of them would be sharing privilidged information. it just doesn't make any sense and the more I think about it, the stranger it looks (and smells) :confused:
There is definatly more to this than meets the eye.

"With the full cooperation of both teams, the FIA has initiated an investigation into matters involving Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes," said the governing body in a statement.
"The remit of this investigation will focus solely on the requirements of the International Sporting Code and the Formula One Regulations."
I can give you one sure-fire fact............Quote:

just a thought.
i've never had the pleasure of meeting Mike or Nigel before but obviously they used to work together and I assume are still friends.
would it not be beyond the bounds of possibility that they communicate professionally on issues that they might be working on? I mean, we do it all the time if we have a problem. you'll get on the blower to an old workmate and pick his brains about something and a couple of weeks later, he'll do the same.
now, obviously this wouldn't involve releasing privilidged information but i would imagine these two might quite readily bounce ideas off each other including providing some examples.
i apprecfiate this is pure guesswork but its about the only credible reason I can find to explain away any of this other than it being criminal espionage or a fit up.
I canīt help noticing that the Ferrari team is the only one to benefit from this story... Their main rival loses an important man in the middle of the season when the development for the next car begins... everybody will question McLarenīs performance for the last 4 races (as if thier was a magic trick that makes any f1 car faster over night)... theyīve also made threats about further legal actions if things donīt go their way (to me that sounds like some kind of blackmail)
Itīs hard not to hate this team!
I was waiting how long it would take before this situation would be turned against Ferrari by clueless individuals.
Carry on.
I canīt answer to that. Iīve already been penalized 3 points... but you are the one who thinks a team should be penalized and after that investigated, right? I donīt have time to check this but I believe itīs you! I know more about law than you about f1 Iīd say so far....Quote:
