Bild, meanwhile, revealed that the 'cool fuel' in the BMW-Sauber and Williams cars was up to four degrees outside the regulations last Sunday.
But the stewards' reluctance to penalise the trio emerged because while the FIA published the ambient temperature at Interlagos at 37 degrees, the teams' contracted meteorologist Meteo France said it was only 33 -- which could explain the 4 degree fuel temperature discrepancy.

The old "Contracted Meteorologist" excuse, works every time LOL...

I suppose that's a good explanation...

That's why the stewards didn't penalize them and that's why the appeal will end up being another embarrassing defeat for McLaren.

The Meteorologist was in on it to. It's a conspiracy. :wink:

BMW - German, Bild a joke German media source.

Not saying it is not true, just that very few people give Bild any credence. It seems highly unlikely that the Stewards would make such an error and why only the select few cars?

The answer - Show the sport not to be as corrupt as it appears and take away the BMW and Williams constructors points. And the Ferrari can be happy that they dont loose a title in the courtroom to go with the one they won by the same method.
