i wonder how the fuck can this happen? are there idiots in charge? Don't they know the regulations and how good the after race controlling is?

Some men should loose their jobs. If I was in charge.

:shock: I can't believe that! Why would teams try to do something as stupid as "cheat" when all the cars are inspected afterwards? Surely it only jeopardises the team's chances!

i for one am still an avid fan of the "JPM is a fucking dick" topic and am glad to see him out because hes washed up, but RS did a good job and took rubens when his brakes were fried..... yep rules are rules!

rules are rules. even though williams team claim that they had no advantage using those brake ducts, they were still not in keeping with the regulations.

Opst. Now I know why they were so fast
But It seems that all Ralf efforts were for nothing.

Default very similar to the WRC disqualification of Peugot
You have to wonder if the changes make any real difference. With the oversized brake ducts they also lowered the aero effeciency of the car. Although I am sure the gains in braking more than made up for the loss in efficiency.

But I agree that these types of mistakes are foolish. It is a shame that the drivers have to take to blame instead of the engineers.
