McLaren ordered to remove Ferrari technology!

In a bizzarre turn of events, FIA stewards have ordered McLaren to remove all technical advancements derived from illegal Ferrari documentation or face exclusion from both championships. The team was allowed to go on track with the de-contented car for safety reasons in anticipation of Saturday's qualification session.

ron dennis previously proved that the mclaren didnt use any information from the 780 pages of ferrari. And since there wasnt any evidence nothing happened.

I find that hard to beleive.

Also mclaren were stupid enough to report that kimi's car was illegal in australia. I wonder how they found that out, especially that what they reported wasnt exactly visible.

The real question is how did they make the tyres work ?

the rest of the teams are still trying to work out how to suit their cars with the bridgestones, while mclaren had it figured out since Australia.

Grrreat to see this f1 forum has finally become alive again. It sure went moribund for quite a while, unfortunately.

that said, I agree w/ hatem re his comments. Love MM, but, as I've stated here before, McLaren's story simply is not credible re NOT using the Ferrari data. Simply not credible. Very sad indeed.
