It figures two out of the three being investigated are Brits.
Where is your sense of fair play??????? Kidding

No steward in garage today has been reported elsewhere. Does the right hand even know where the left hand is much less what it is doing.

I think as they both face their respective destiny's of each having an opportunity to write history, they may have come to understand that they are both great drivers and that such vitriol between them really helps no one.
I won't be surprised if FA reached out to LH in some way

Either he is keepeing his McClaren options firmly in place, realizing that all things being equal, driving the Mac's are his best bet to win races and more championships, and that while they might not be best buds, at least there will be a respect for each side of the paddock.

Or, it is his final race at McClarena and there really is no point, rigfht now to get even more heat on him than need be, perphas the Spanish FIA scrutineer represented the culmination of his incesant whining and he realizes that the whole saga has gotten way out of control.
For his own legacy, an attitude change is what is needed and what looks like he's trying to do. Let's hope there is true sincerity behind his words now.

...until sunday after the race ;)

It is now being reported that the FIA forgot to send him an email telling him the race was this weekend and not next weekend......

So there is actually no scrutineer for the race. He was invited by RD just for Saturday! :rolleyes:

"The different scrutineer? We were very comfortable to give him a headset to hear what the drivers were saying and, if any questions were asked, we could give him answers. That was just about today.

"We're not going to have these guys involved in tomorrow's race. That's where we really do have to do what we think is the right strategy to beat our competition - which is Ferrari. That is our competition."

So the scrutineer is not allowed in the McLaren garage when they "really do have to do what we think is the right strategy".
This is why the Brits lost so many sleepless nights? :p :

Pathetic.
