Give me a break. Ferrari gets way more leeway then any other team in F1.

FIA is tipped off that Ferrari has a movable floor on its car at the Aussie GP by non other then NS. Charlie Whiting and the FIA get around to dealing with them after the race. No media Circus, no branding the team a cheaters (Honda gas tank fiasco anyone), no loss of points and no ridiculous fine. Ferrari magicaly dodges another bullet.

Plus having Mouthpiece Montezemolo shooting his mouth off about Hamilton winning his first world championship in a Ferrari doesn't add much to the their sympathy fund in my book.

 

Ok so the FIA knew about the floor and did nothing...

That tells me they either found nothing wrong with it or NS is lying.

Like I said, NS denies being a "whistleblower" even though McLaren named him as a "whistleblower".

So is NS a "whistleblower" or not?

Who is lying?

 

Hmm...what about the tire situation this last race?

 

Oh you mean the one about the FIA emailing out the notification and that it was delayed to Ferrari?

The one where the FIA accepted responsibility for the error???

Oh ya that is a clear indication of the FIA's favouring of Ferrari....

 

He's clearly a Whistleblower, in his letter to mad max, Todt and Dennis he comes flat out and says he told FIA about the movable floor. But in typical FIA fashion they wont release the docs that will incriminated Ferrari and inturn support NS's claim. So much for total transparency on the FIAs part.

 

So somehow because FIA failed to act it's Ferrari's fault????

The FIA was "protecting" Ferrari???

Wow....

Odd because the way I remember it was AFTER McLaren filed a complaint, the rule was clarified and Ferrari had to change their floor. Along with McLaren, Renault and BMW. Why did those other teams also have to change their floor?

Guess the FIA was protecting more than 1 team using your reasoning....

BTW, you should read this entire thread - most of this was already discussed....

 

Comon...All the other teams knew except Ferrari?
You gotta be kidding..I will give them the benifit of
the doubt if one other team also did not receive the
email and ran intermediates. But all other 11 teams
knew, but Ferrari?

 

Do you know how email works? Have you never received a delayed email?

Why would the FIA accept responsibility if it was not delayed?

Oh ya...the FIA favour Ferrari.

 

My issue is 10 other teams got it.

I'm not bashing Ferrari...nor favor Maclaren.
Just giving what I see that is not consistant.

Only teams I favor is Honda and Aguri.

 

I'm not faulting Ferrari they'd be dumb not to take advantage of the fact that they are the Golden team of the modern F1 circus. My beef is with the FIA and their picking and choosing of what to punish and who to give special circumstances to.
