That's right Rich, Lewis and Alonso fight another day. MacLaren are out of pocket and get a crap pit box position next year.

Quote from: "Northern Red"
Super Aguri's car is a copy of the Honda of last season - they've as good as admitted it


Nearly correct. The Super Aguri IS last year's factory Honda, adapted to the revised technical regulations that came into play during the off season. In a similar vein, this year's Toro Rosso is a modified version of the this year's Red Bull RB3. Although in that case, they use different engine suppliers (Red Bull - Renault, Toro Rosso - Ferrari) which probably accounts for the 'modifications'. All of which has pissed off Spyker, who design and build their own car, albeit with a Ferrari engine.

Prodrive will enter the championship next year as the 12th team as a Customer team to one of the top squads, although I don't think its been revealed who yet (rumoured to be McLaren though).

Quote from: "Barry Scott"
The week following McLaren, supposedly not looking at the manual, McLaren start winnning, when they were clearly off the pace of Ferrari in the first 3 races.... Why should they be allowed to benefit from another teams R&D? Fuck 'em.


Don't wish to pick holes in your argument, but thats factually incorrect. 2nd race of the season in Malaysia, McLaren got a 1-2. Fair enough, Raikkonen won in Australia at a canter, but Massa only beat Lewis by 2.3 seconds in Bahrain - hardly off the pace IMO.

Sorry to piss on your bonfire, but continue ranting  Wink

To be honest, I've suspected as much from the day the Spygate scandal was revealed. Its just we haven't heard directly from the two major players (Stepney & Coughlan) until now...as you say, very interesting...
