Credibility about what, exactly?

That McLaren are supplying all the teams on the grid from next year. It's true, they are, through the TAG brand. Been a done deal since the middle of last season.

Or the fact that there will be accusations of McLaren spying? Bound to be brought up at some point in the season. But not likely to be taken seriously I wouldn't have thought.

isn't microsoft ECU's ? in fact i'm 100% sure it's microsoft

[Racefan_uk]

I believe microsoft supplied some of the software, McLaren (or a part of) supply the hardward and the components.

At least, that's what I thought was happening.

As part of the FIA ban on drivers aids for 2008 a common ECU was to be employed so that they could stop any cheating. The tender was won by Mclaren Electronics company in collabration with microsoft in Mid 2007 to supply all the ECUs for 2008 till 2010.
Shortly after i think Ferrari were awarded the contract to supply all the chassis for another major series,May have been A1?. Hopefully someone can confirm this on here.
