Excellent post!

There is a fine line between clever interpretation of the rules and rule breaking...

Exactly !

As the sole supplier of tyres for all F1 teams, why didn't Bridgestone report the issue of Ferrari's tyre gas mix to the FIA.

Why should they report it?

Exactly and there maybe the chance that Bridgestone did not know about the 'technical breakthrough'. I dont think the team's have to reveal their personal data to the tire supplier unless they are getting sub-par performance and need further input or developement. and then that data will be released voluntarily.

Do I smell a FIA hearing in '08 from the grid once again pointing the "they are cheating" finger at Ferrari ?? Hmmm Hmmm

This is what the other teams do every time Ferrari comes up with a new innovation, they cry foul. Then the press have a field day with it, mis-report the facts, generate hate and voila, you're villain is served...

I also think that there is a clear difference between genuine innoivation and rule bending. Some Ferrari 'innovations have definitely been rule bending.

All the teams do it. It's the nature of the pitlane to be have a tall poppey syndrome mentality, when you're on top you have all eyes on you, trying to bring you down, normally from jealousy.

I remember the 2002 and 2004 season when Ferrari were lapping everyone 8 times they all came out of the woodwork and cried foul... Patrick head pointing to supposed flexible bodyparts, Autosport claiming Ferrari's gearbox was changing too quick, it came from all sides...

What can you do? It's natural to try to pick faults in a team that's handing your @ss to you on a plate...

Fair comment

Love it! Whats a swamp donkey - love that too

But, just to keep on topic - I dont understand why the FIA thought of banning tyre blankets in the first place. What is it supposed to achieve?
There are many ways to slow a car down without making it potentialy dangerous.

He He, thanks DD.

Anyway, why has the FIA chosen to ban tyre blankets? Anyone know? Is it just because Ferrari have a magic gas for their tyres?

Max probably thinks tyre warmers create massive carbon footprints and would be better off used as a teacosy on his pot of tea.
