[Ron Dennis]

Again, I'm not talking about the engine cycle, that's no problem at all, but doing changes on it could be illegal due the regulations.

there have been no changes on the engine

What about the news breaking that Alonso has been using an illegal gear box for the last few races - one not available to Hamilton but which allows the car to use its power band more efficiently. It has been shown that this improved gearbox could make the car two tenths of a second quicker! So why has this gearbox not been made available to Hamilton?

[Lewis Hamilton - COME ON!]

well i've not heard anything about a gearbox or engine...so basically the 2 cancel each other out...simple!

[supeindesu]

Then, why FA does a better Q1&Q2 than LH, and, suddenly Q3 makes LH faster?

[Lewis Hamilton - COME ON!]

its because LH is always @ the front of the pack...unlike FA

Now, now, illegal? That could spell trouble for McLaren with the FIA - oh, I forgot, not for LH of course, only for the 'team'

I am not speaking about infraction or no, I say McLaren again saved this engine for the last race, this engine is not a modification... it is the new engine for 2008....English press only write about what you want read.

It is a new engine (not 2008s engine as far as I can tell), and the team can turn up the performance because it doesn't need to run over two Grand Prix. It is an advantage, but it's all completely fair, no rules have been broken.

[Lewis Hamilton - COME ON!]

that is so true FE...typical british pres..

That's what I thought it was Stephen - it was discussed a while ago. Though I wasn't sure about 'new rumors' about 'illegal' engines - hard to keep track these days...

[texasmr2]

My take on it and from what I heard or read was that FA will have the same engine as two week's ago and the 10hp advantage Lewis has is in FA's head because he could not keep up?

[darwin dali]

No, the 10hp advantage is real - they tweak the engine and run it hotter because it doesn't have to last past this weekend - Ferrari does the same.

[texasmr2]

Wow I was un-aware of that, my bad.

[supeindesu]

Beautiful start
