vwdeviant 0 Posted October 19, 2007 1718: According to the news wires we have at BBC TV Centre, the stewards of the meeting are to discuss the situation regarding wet-tyre situation (see below). McLaren have conceded to making a mistake and are now waiting for the stewards' judgment. The FIA have no set punishment for the offence, so it remains to be seen what decision will be taken. Newsflash: Lewis Hamilton, Takuma Sato and Jenson Button have used two sets of wets which is apparently in breach of regulations. News from 5live Sports Extra Oh dear. Surely the teams would have checked that. I'll try to get more details. From BBC Web site.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted October 19, 2007 Oh FFS here we go again. What are the odds that a wheel will fly off Alonso's car, clear the barriers and strike Max Mosley stone cold dead? Do you reckon the odds I'd get would make it worth a cheeky punt and paying the tax up front? Oh well... I can wish.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently the stewards will make a dcision either late tonight or early tomorrow (I guess it will depend on how long Luca needs with Max to decide how to shaft McLaren) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted October 19, 2007 I have to say the more that the FIA find new ways to persecute young Lewis, and the more of a farce it becomes, the more I keep thinking of this picture. Frankly I think it's closer to the truth in F1 right now than many people would like to admit... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted October 19, 2007 15,000 Euro fine for McLaren, no penalty on Hamilton thankfully Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted October 19, 2007 Yeah... team fined for using more than one set of tyres in a practice session that has no impact at all on either qualifying or the race. They'll be fining them for starting the car before the session starts next, or maybe fining them for putting fuel in the car, or how about fining them for not putting sunscreen on before doing the press conference? The administration of F1 is completely farked. I'm now waiting for tomorrow's comedy McLaren prosecution moment to unfurl now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted October 19, 2007 Well in fairness, it is more that Mclaren seem to be making a complete hash of following the rules this year, than anyone picking on any one particular driver! It's not like the rule about using two different sets of tyres was just made up for this practice session! IMHO, Mclaren have been very lucky to get away as lightly as they have with what they have been up to this season! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO, Mclaren have been very lucky to get away as lightly as they have with what they have been up to this season! Dec the problem seems to be one particular team seems to be getting "Caught" this season... the reason this happens is because stuff like the tyres usually has a blind eye turned to it.. as does a hell of a lot of rule bending. I'm sure it's down to the fact that there isn't one person romping off intpo the distance this yeat that means all eyes are everywhere... and McLaren are pretty silly if they thought they could get away with it seeing as there's an "Independant" inspector in their pits... BTW Hamilton did an out and in lap on the "Second" set so hardly scrubbing in a fresh set for an advantage... All eye on teh telly at 17:00? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
