FIA poohbar
For all the cynical hacks out there isn't Jean Todt on the FIA/WMSC board along with 3-4 other Ferrari representatives?
Stinks like the World Superbike fiasco involving Ducati (aren't they owned by Fiat who in turn own Ferrari?) crying everytime they got beat by a 4 cylinder machine so were allowed to increase their bikes capacity (750cc for 4 cylinders, 990 for twins) that's why major players like Suzuki and Kawasaki dropped right off the running. Honda only really kicked back in when they too went twin cylinder.
In a time when the FIA are talking up cost reductions in F1, they hit a team with a £50m fine which is almost the lower end teams entire annual budget.
AND if I recall this right - Schumi may have been the first car into Parc-firme but he was alway the last to leave to go to the podium if he was beaten... taking extra special care of having a right good look at the opponents car that had just beaten him. Wasn't it Ferrari last season that complained of Renaults/Hondas suspension setup?
