Well, favouritism has probably gone on in teams since F1 time immemorial and there's not a lot that can be done about it. We don't expect everyone in every walk of life to get on with their boss and colleagues, after all.Quote:

O.k., perhaps somewhat a simplistic example (and outdated :uhoh: ) but you get my point :p :
I don't agree. Personally I don't think that McLaren has hampered FA in any way. In spite of that I still that this measure is ridiculous, illegal, and unfair.Quote:

In my view, the way to see how ridiculous this is, is this: what would happen if the observer claims that one driver was favoured over the other? What penalty will the FIA apply and to whom? What rule is being violated?
Thats quite simple. If the team is McLaren they must Tar, and Feather Ron. Then have Fred drag him around Circuit de Catalunya by a rope while riding a vintage Bultaco.Quote:

As to emails, FA will turn a couple of eamils with photos attached that show maxi and bernie in a "compromising position" with each other :love: ,
but FA will accidentally send it to the wrong address where it ends up in the paper-- :eek:
Fa will later explain that he never intended for that to happen as he agreed with Maxie not to do anything with them if Maxie appointed the spanish screwtineer......but then when the offer of immunity came out, he thought that they wanted those photos....He did not know what they wanted was the photos that LH had been emailed by the special screwtineer showing Ron with the white powder standing over a Mac that was not to be driven by Hamster while LH was holding a funnel into the opening of the gas tank..... :arrows: :rotflmao: :beer:
I understand through an anonymous source that an observer has found that LH uses a bit more pressure on his accelerator pedal. He has been asked to stop this practice immediately! :)
ioan, you are moving towards the crux of the problem with the FIA's decision :up: It is an open invitation for anyone, not just a driver, to cry "favouritism" for whatever reason. When they do I would expect the FIA to place an observer in their garage...that is if I believed for a moment that the FIA were applying the rules in this matter (remind me, which 'rule' is being applied here?) in an even-handed and fair manner.Quote:
