well like I said..shows how incompetent they are...If they can't guarantee an exact measurement..why keep that rule anyway ?

If the Stewards were positive that the teams were in breach of the regs then they would have been punished, championship or no championship.

where was the 100% prove it the whole "spy-gate" affair ? And still McL got punished for it ! Is it because I have plans at home on how to make a bomb I have to be prosecuted for being a terrorist ? Don't think so..But guess I will never understand the FIA logic anyway !

In Alonso's laptop and email. In 780 pages of illegally obtained technical information. And so on...

Some people are good at ignoring the obvious. :roleyes:

since when are emails prove ? they can be manipulated in so many ways my dear ioan....

Illegally obtained ? what's illegal about getting docs from someone that still was a ferrari employee at that moment ?....who not even did this on request by someone inside McL..but acted on his own account ! I keep saying Ferrari themself are to blame in all this for not protecting there files in a better way !

If Ferrari were to protect their files from anyone getting them the best thing to do would be to get all their sensitive data in a room, fill the room with concrete and then drop it into the mariana trench. You can't run a team properly and have 100% security. 100% security means no one having access to it.

If the emails were manipulated then why did McLaren not appeal? Because they weren't.

If McLaren had raised the alarm when they were offered the data then they could claim innocence but they didn't and they made use of the data.

GUILTY

The stewards at the Brazilian GP were lenient towards all teams and drivers that broke rules. Especially considering that their leniency favoured Hamilton with the tyre and blocking issue, I don't think McLaren are in any position to appeal when the ruling doesn't favour them.
