Sauber was stripped of all points for just an error in rear wing length. Ferrari, however, passed with double victory. Hmmm...

Having the FIA as your b**ch doesn't mean cheating. It just means playing the politics well...by selling the BS of being 'the oldest team on the grid, special preferences on prize money, extra attention on us since we represent an entire country's passion, blah blah bullsh*t'.

As for the flexy floors, I missed that one. But it wasn't really hot news was it...I can't remember when this saga broke out?

2007. Ferrari had a flexi floor at the first race, which was banned and gone by the second race, so that's not really a big deal

Back in the day, under Max Mosley's Regime, I would agree about the FIA being in the pocket of Ferrari but recently I wouldn't say that is the case.

Like mentioned before; this is simply a case of Horner/Marko pointing the finger at others to deflect attention away from Red Bull; this is hardly a new phenomenon, fingers have been pointed at teams that are doing well, it's easier to get something banned than copy it and get it working with their package.

Mosley jumped into bed with whichever team was winning. I'm sure of it! He had affairs with Williams then McLaren and then reaching possibly dizzying heights with Ferrari.

Put it this way, other teams (mainly Ferrari) have accussed Red Bull of cheating so this is just Horner and Marko turning the tables. If you can't take it don't fling it and I'll wager that Ferrari can't take it.

Ferrari are the masters of playing the political, propaganda and blame game, they take what's flung at them with a pinch of salt.

It's so easy, when you know the rules....................

I know what this is, Red Bull trying to be in the safe zone, like when Horner said to the press they weren't allowed in the pit lane in Germany, they want to be in the safe zone and accuse Ferrari obviously, who else has a good history of controversy? I am shocked they didn't blame it on McLaren

[racechick]

Probably because McLaren have screwed up there own campaign without aid, and Alonso is the one they need to reign in.

Ferrari furious after Marko’s hand-adjuster claim

Aug.3 (GMM) A reportedly furious Ferrari team has hit back at Red Bull, after the reigning champions suggested that the Maranello team had broken the rules “for a year”.

Frustrated with the constant technical controversies involving Red Bull in 2012, the team’s Dr Helmut Marko said this week that “Ferrari used something like that for a year”.

The outspoken Austrian had been asked about the latest Red Bull saga, amid reports that he FIA told the team to remove an illegal hand-control for adjusting the RB8′s ride height without a tool at June’s Canadian grand prix.

The website of Italian sports newspapers Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport said Ferrari has responded to Marko’s claims by issuing a robust denial.

A Ferrari spokesman was quoted as saying the accusation is “completely untrue”.

Indeed, in the original article that quoted Marko about the alleged Ferrari system, journalist Michael Schmidt doubted Red Bull would have any knowledge about what is under the skin of the red F2012.

“One has to wonder how an outsider could have seen something like that,” said the Auto Motor und Sport writer.

“Chassis components at the front are well hidden in the carbon tube, and you can only get access to them from the top service hatch.

“And it’s hard to imagine Ferrari would have given any insight to strangers,” added Schmidt.

It's funny you're saying baseless as we're talking about the two teams that suffered the most degraded performance after the rules were "clarified"

Heck I'll be there then. I'll cheer Marko on! I can't stand Dominicali.
