I forgot that debating non-Ferrari fans always ends up in wild speculation that somehow Ferrari cheated despite the fact that evidence has shown that they were the victim...

I always have a good laugh when all you have to play is the "you must be a blind Ferrari fan" card...

Ok, now you really have to be kidding right?

Remember McLaren did not win a single race last year and have not won a WCC since 1998 - and you're telling me Ferrari is desperate?????

Two me it looks like it was a two way street between MC and NS.
Then why has McLaren not gone to the FIA with this?

You keep putting your faith in NS - a man that has basically 0 credibility and has denied passing info to McLaren that we clearly have evidence to the contrary....

He admits MC took the docs from him so there is some creditability to what he says.

Plus I think McLaren isn't pursuing it because they want to put this all to bed and get on with their whole Fair and Ballanced act.

I don't buy that for one second...McLaren wants this gone because they know they got off lightly. If there was any chance of them turning this around, they would be after it because there is $100M on the line for them.

No way am I buying the argument that McLaren is letting it go for the good for F1.

No one is saying they're doing it for the greater good of F1. The faster they get this behind them the faster they can get back to that whole sterling reputation they like to throw around.

Which was so clearly shown by this year's events....

And going back to Hootsama's comments...I would love to see what would come out if Ferrari could scrutinize every aspect of the McLaren....
