Discussion
So, the FIA have said they will be carrying out a deep search of the 2008 Mclaren, looking for not only Ferrari bits on the car, but for ideas that MAY have incorporated ideas from Ferrari IP. My question is, how the hell are they going to prove if something is from an idea that Ferrari had, as oppose to natural evolution of design from year to year.
Will they have the dossier to hand, study it and only look at the areas covered in the dossier, this would be the logical way to go, but it is the FIA, and we all know how it appears they have always favoured Ferrari and (especially) this year, held a grudge against Ron. I would like to think that the SPEICIALISTS that they will use to inspect the car will be impartial, but will they really, it would be so easy for all their findings to end up in the wrong hands.
Also, Nigel Stepney has said on record that in return for the information he passed to Mclaren, he was given the corresponding information back to him, yet the FIA have not even spoken about this, yet alone held any investigation to clarify or disprove this claim. Should then the same inspection be carried out on the Ferrari 2008 car design?
I DO NOT want this thread to be another pro/anti Mclaren versus anti/pro Ferrari, but instead other peoples thoughts on the inspections carried out to date, and the ones that will be carried out and wat others think to the possibility that Mclaren would start on negative points IF anything dubious was found.
