From what I understand the fuel was actually hotter than it should. If I remember correctly the complainant was saying that it would give the car an extra 6hp. My guess is that it would either burn faster or more thoroughly than cooler fuel, hence the extra hp

Does anyone watch the A1GP? It's a lot better in terms of racing but it's just so not sexy and the drivers are anonymous as the commentators refer to the country rather than the driver. Lacks that human factor and personality which makes a sport interesting to watch. F1 is more like watching a good soap... and sexy.

Sorry Cashout, that's the wrong way round Mate!

Quote: "McLaren are appealing the stewards decision to take no action against Williams and BMW Sauber, whose fuel was found by checks after the race to have broken technical regulations because it was more than 10 degrees Celsius below the ambient temperature."
