BBC article said:
"It will start to be negative because we'll get the Schumacher effect where people start writing to me saying can't you do something to slow him down."
Would it be any different if LH was driving a Ferrari I wonder? after all they knew, but did bugger all about, the Schumacher effect originallydisco1 said:
Adrian W said:
"Mosley added that it was "very unlikely" that Hamilton would be installed as champion following a hearing next month into the results of the season-closing Brazilian Grand Prix"
If he really did say this then Mclaren should go straight to law and fight it out in a courtroom.
the simple fact is he WANTED Ferrari to winIf he really did say this then Mclaren should go straight to law and fight it out in a courtroom.
As the F1 equivalent to Tiger Woods as regard potential income to the sport / PR coverage, not wise to say such things from the president of the governing body....again. Obviously another calculated attack to destabilise McClaren, but his apparent lack of impartiality now appears a liability for the FIA.
As for the reduction of points for McClaren before even looking at next years car:
1. They'll never be able to prove whose IP is on it (but lack of proof didn't stop the FIA this year)
2. If they find McClaren 'guilty' of using Ferrari IP, who would believe them when Max issues this warning before hand?

what i think is more worrying is who are the FIA scrutineers going to talk to to figure out whether something infringes a ferrari idea? ferrari?1. They'll never be able to prove whose IP is on it (but lack of proof didn't stop the FIA this year)

i just can't see this working. McL are going to have a public spy in their midst reporting back to Ferrari via the FIA. "we've found this interesting diffuser design - lets ask Ferrari if that was their idea?" can't see it working.
as for Mosley, he just needs to retire. as someone said, its like having grandpa who has lost his marbles hanging around. bit like Bernie who just looks disorientated on the track before the off.
Despite the fact that so many of us hold the guy in contempt, that opinion is probably limited to persons who seriously follow motor sport.
I suspect that this dude continues to have considerable clout with the politicians and bureaucrats in the civilian sector because of the FIA's dual self-appointed authority, which is over public road driving issues as well as over some parts of motor sport.
He won't be dislodged easily.
