Scarbs had a dew ideas of how they where doing it on his blog. things like changing the temperature of shock absorbers etc

[racechick]

:idea: A thought! What if McLaren put in their ride height thing deliberately to get it banned so that they can now challenge red bull's? And if they do that successfully, then red bull will have used an illegal device,so do they have to give their win up?

The Malaysia win? No. See Ferrari's flexi-floor in Australia 2007, Renault's mass-damper wins etc.

Hmmmm. This is very true. Must be something like Jabberwoky said-a sneaky way of doing it.......maybe McLaren found a sneaky way too Or is Macca's already banneed did someone say?

So if they are breaking the laws will they loose the win?

stop looking for handouts RC.

Might this be just a game of bluff and double bluff between Horner and Whitmarsh?

Since they passed scrutiny for each race... i doubt they can take the results away. Unless they have done so (passing scrutiny) by cheating and/or misleading the Fia. Also, if they are exploiting a loophole, their car is legal unless the rules are modified.

Whatever it is, they got some F'ing smart thing going on there. Could it be neumatic shock absorbers (ala Citroen, Range rover etc) instead of hydraulic??

Red bull is way to far ahead in Q... over 0.5 sec... i mean Vettel is fast, but i doubt he brings that much time. Only Alonso can bring 0.6s

The flexi-floor used by Ferrari (and others) in Australia 2007 was designed to pass the FIA stress tests, but under the significantly higher loads during races would flex. They still kept the results.

if Mclaren used a Flexi Floor Ron Dennis, LEwis and Alonso would be exacuted by Firing squad though

[antoniob]

tsk tsk. gaz why so critical?

[texasmr2]

Should get very interesting in the next few weeks .

[Jamie]

[headless]

That was made illegal when someone was doing it some time ago. The only thing I can think of is some sort of dead (or extremely stiff) zone covering the range of full-empty fuel in the spring setup using multiple springs but it's a total stab in the dark and no idea how such a thing would actually behave in a car with downforce.

2 days to go.............yee-haaa. Jesus just looked at the times of the practice sessions being shown on the red button
