According to the grapevine....62 pages of the F2007 dossier are still to be subjected to extensive R&D.

I think that Coughlan and Stepney did a 'dossier swap' or simply accidentally picked up each others portfolio....MPZ-20/21 (probably Haynes' manuals) for F2007/248 blueprint. That would account for Ferrari's unreliability and McLaren's performance.

Well as a follow up to the questioned posed here, I must say I'm most surprised but just how good the McLarens were in Monza.
Alfonso was right on the sweet spot and Hamilton driving with so much confidence and aggression.
I'd love to read the two chassis readouts for the two McLarens for the race though. Hamilton doesn't have quite the on the edge confidence and commitment seemingly in the middle of the race.
Alonso is absolutely peerless at the moment.
Do you suppose Hamilton will not be completely distraught at not winning the championship; he must see how Alonso's experience (as much as anything else) has the tiniest edge?

I think anybody who's been leading any championship for most of a season will be a bit upset if they dont win. However a week later he'll be thinking "Rookey year, almost won, lets have a blinder next season!"
