Time to put up or shut up Jean :

That is one spin , Flat .

But , that wouldn't fit with it being Italy's auto federation this is calling on the WMSC for the appeal .
And , it wouldn't fit with Max favouring the reds either , which is the usual rhetoric .

If one of the chief designers at one team was in possession of anothers documents they are guilty at the very least , of that possession .

It is suggested that , with more evidence supplied , the outcome might have been different , and , being that McLaren were not punished , that suggests that they may still be .
When he speaks of "public confidence in the outcome" , he is relating to all the polls being taken all over the internet .

It has confused the public to find McLaren guilty but not sanction them .


Even more confusing is what to do if we now assume they will be sanctioned .
If the idea that the first gain they made was dropping the flex-floor bomb , then just how many races did it set Ferrari and others back . Is banning them for that number of races the right thing to do ?
Or do you fine them an amount that would cover the costs the other teams spent developing the flex-floors ?




If what Stepney is starting to tell is a true tale , then Ferrari have an issue with which to deal themselves , in-house .

I have a buddy who used to sell Ferraris , and , in the middle of a recession , was witness to one of the worst examples of management of which I have ever heard tell .
Luca arrived to an excited staff meeting and unceremoniously dressed down all the staff down to the receptionist , swearing and cursing so venomously that he was spitting on all within range .

I think Luca Montezemolo may be who is getting folks to such a state that they would do stuff like this .


But , first , we need to sort out this public perception issue , and give them a fine and get on with it .
