Typical Monaco bore fest unfortunately ... one thing I am glad about is Vettel not getting any higher, and I am happy that Webber won but not so happy that RBR got even more points. There is some conjecture about the floor that RBR car is running also, Ros Brawn and several other teams have made reference to it, and the FIA are looking into it ... could be interesting.
Bring on Canada ...

BBC have an article on the RBR floor http://www.bbc.co.uk...rmula1/18226959 seems straightforward cheating to me but then I am biased.
All cars are scrutinised by the FIA before each race. This deems them legal.

Yeah?

As I alluded to, RBR are cheating and have to change the floor on their car before the next race, to be honest they should have their acrued points taken away as well in my view..

If there's one thing that annoys me about modern F1, it's people saying "alluded to" all the ********* time. Stop it.

But yes, it is a bit strange how something can be a legal interpretation, and then become illegal for the next race.

Hah it's funny, I originally wrote 'As i said' then changed it because I didn't 'actually' ever say they were cheating. Will be very interesting to see how that car performs in the Canadian race, particularly with Vettle as it appears that he struggles the most without the 'aides'.

all they need to do is cut a slit from the edge of the floor to the hole, then it becomes the floor outline rather than an enclosed hole. Sauber seem to have been doing this all along. Expect to see the slits on a few more cars at the end of the week.

And it only needs to be a very,very narrow slit as far as I am aware.

Click on a couple of tiny red+white x's so you can click on the full screen icon. You don't need to get downloading anything it suggests......
