This should be interesting to watch. Last year it was the flexible rear wing, the 'sliding' front wing and now we have the moveable floor.

Not to mention the "brake ducts":

Hmmm , ferrari got caught cheating , this is unusual


nothing will come of it , if it does ferrari threathens to stay home , FIA backs down , business as usual

I am confident that every car is cheating in one form or another. The cars are so sophisticated that there is no way to police the teams in every area. This is part of formula one racing and always has been. The teams will continue to find innovative yet not so legal ways to make their cars quicker. FIA is constantly trying to play catchup with the rules but the teams remain one step ahead most of the time.

Amen.

Agreed that nothing will come of it. For instance, I believe their wheel disks are plainly "movable aerodynamic devices" since, if Renault's mass damper (which is isolated from air flow) is, how can these not be? Yet they persist.

Because the stands are red my friend , I remember years ago at my first F1 event , feeling very much the mcclaren man, only to realize , McClaren ! there where a handful for MClaren fans, all Red, ferrari fans dominate the stands , the venue , a sea of red.if mClaren quits tomorrow , who cares

F1 means ferrari racing in pig latin

If FIA cleared it then it should be no issue; all teams bend the rules a little; Chapman was a genius at creative rule interpretation....

McLaren's big issue is speed, or lack thereof....

}{arlequin

mclaren's big issue is the whiney-ness of Ron McDennis whenever his cars are not competitive

IIRC, Kimi had a full second over either of the McLaren cars for race pace.

If you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough. everyone is cheating to an extent.

DrJupeman

No reason for Ferrari to cheat, don't their drivers just punt people if they are losing?

Or is that just ALMS?

pole position

LOL, what a surprise, his cars are one sec plus a lap slower against the ,what appears not to be pushing, Ferrari's and now good ol' Ronnie claims there must be something illegal. What will be illegal when his cars are starting to blow up again when it gets hot ?

Bryan Watts

A punt would be dirty...Jorg's car didn't even get sideways. Stop being such a baby...ALMS doesn't race under a 13/13 rule. There's nothing dirty about learning on someone in the last lap in the last corner to get a race win at the 12 Hours of Sebring. Every racer in the paddock would do it, including Jorg. Jorg was just whining because he knew he had given the race away...it's a natural reaction to get whiny when you lose and your adrenlin is pumping and emotions are running high.
