September 2007 - General Stuff

[Sweder]

IF McClaren are guilty of using knowledge gained from Ferrari (as appears to be the case) the cars are technically illegal. How can you be crowned world champion if you're driving an illegal car?

It's a fudge, a verdict of convenience.
Either McClaren are innocent (as Ron Dennis insists) or they're guilty. I don't see how there can be half measures here.

Also, wherefore Ferrari's culpability in this?
IF (that word again) McClaren are being held accountable for the actions of an employee, surely the dossier came originally from a Ferrari employee, and therefore . . .

. . . and on we go. It stinks, like rotten flesh of mouldy cheese. I'm not a big fan of the sport so I care little either way. I'm simply struggling to see this decision as anything other than appeasement to Ferrari who, it is said, have a disproportionate representation at the FIA. According to no lesser light that Sir Jackie Stewart 'information exchanges' go on 'all the time' and, to date, have gone unpunished. Now that McClaren are romping away with all the silverware it's become a matter of life and death.

It'll be interesting to hear what the FIA report in their press conference today. That might clear this us up. Until then I resreve the right to mutter in disgust at what appears to be a rather nasty case of hypocrisy.
