    FIA to check Hamilton's car

    I am sure you guys know about this check. I wonder how many of you would expect any illegal issues with it. I would give a 98% chance that there is nothing irregular. The other 2 % is because stupity never dies.
    Also I add this file adress:http://217.204.13.141/resources/docu..._Checks_07.pdf, so that you can read all the parts of the engine the inspectors will be checking.

    Maybe there are some valves missing
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    you do have to ask WHY have they got more speed they have not yet changed the aero package so it only leaves the engine and gearbox.

    maybe they have a backdoor to the ECU

    I am not sure if it's the McLArens that got more speed or just the opposite, that teh Ferraris slowed down.

    And yet the better pace is a result of better aero set-ups than earlier of the season.
    There are two rules for success
    1. Never tell everything you know.

    mclaren have always been aerodynamically strong esp in the cornering speeds...and with the F1 cars relying more on aerodynamics rather than on sheer engine speed...it's natural for the mac's to have some advantage

    You do realise that the top teams bring new aero pieces to just about every race dont you? Besides, the big updates that have increased their pace came in France, its only now that we are getting to see what they are all about.
