If the constructors championship ends up with the predicable result, ie Ferrari being GIVEN the title, then what we need is some people who have got nothing to loose and don't give a damn what the FIA says... hmmm say Top Gear, to do a "Real F1 Constructors Championship" Trophy and award it to McClaren :D
We ALL know who will REALLY win the championship, now matter who is given the trophy.
Gravity is not dependent up on the rotational speed of the earth. It is an intrinsic property of the volume of the earth.
Now, changes in rock density beneath a location will affect the microGravity in that region. I used to be a Geophysicist and we would use Gavitometers to measure the local gravitational field in a region and use that to model the underlying rock densities. While doing these measurements, you need to calculate the gravitational effect of the sun and the moon at the same time/location to use as a corrective factor.
Remember in the 90s when Nigel Mansell went over to IndyCar, he wiped the floor with them in his rookie season. The quality of his driving was so far superior to the standard Indy drivers that he was literally streets ahead. Remember too, this was at the fag end of his racing career...
