Hey, i've never agreed with making rule changes to help other teams and hamper Ferrari. I've said it before. If a team cannot catch up, it's their own fault.
I just don't like when a team like Ferrari get's away with murder. They were blatently found to be cheating a few races ago with their illegal front and rear wings. Instead of being banned, they were warned and allowed to make their mods in 3 weeks time. Last year, Honda never had that luxury. They were immediately banned for "illegal" fuel tanks when the court decided that there was no proof that those tanks for indeed illegal.
There are two topics here, don't confuse the two...

Doug.... get all the pics you want of the gas tank.. the FIA stated the ban came from possibility to cheat, NOT from cheating....
FIA: Is the tank empty of fuel?
HONDA: Yes
FIA: How come we find more fule here, I thought you said it was empty.
HONDA: Well it is empty, the rest of this fuel is in our 2nd tank, were you asking about that one too?

"At some point in every racer's life he has to make his peace with cheating. I do not approve of cheating at all. Of course, like every successful racer, I differentiate between taking advantage of loopholes in the regulations, stretching the grey areas and outright cheating. In any given racing series I will not start the cheating. If someone else starts it, I will appeal to them and to the officials to stop it. If my efforts do not succeed, then I'll show them how it is done."
