Flav: Rules should be in black or white
Thursday 12th March 2009
Flavio Briatore has voiced his displeasure at rival teams exploiting the grey areas in the Formula One regulations.
In the weeks prior to the bulk of the teams launching their 2009 challengers, controversy arose over the rear diffuser design on both the Toyota TF109 and the Williams FW31 as they appeared to exceed the maximum height of 175mm.
The FIA, though, declared the designs to be legal.
"The current FIA view is that Williams and Toyota have been clever and have exploited the wording of the rules in a clever way," said FIA President Max Mosley.
"The view on our technical people is that it is okay, we will wait and see if someone challenges it."
And that challenge could come from Renault with Briatore saying he is frustrated with the way some teams exploit the regulations.
"It's not right that some diffusers are made in a certain way while others in a different way, because I don't think it fair that everyone has his own rule book," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
"Looks like there are two sets of regulations: the one that allows some teams to have the diffuser built in a certain way that is forbidden to others because it's considered illegal. That's not what we expect. We want black or white rules but equal to everyone."
The Italian, however, would not confirm whether or not Renault would be lodging a protest: "We'll see, because at least three teams don't respect the regulations."
More whining from Fraudster Flabio. Will he ever shut up? And, hypothetically speaking, let's say a few teams have breached the rules, what right has Flabio got to complain? With the exception of Ferrari, he's the biggest cheat in Formula One history.
