[Link]
Could it be that Ferrari has gone to far in their search for speed? The last few races they were slower than most of the teams, now suddenly they are fastest but they not reliable.

McLaren Bashing?
Quote for ITV Formula 1 website:
Under-fire FIA president Max Mosley has called an extraordinary general meeting of the sport’s governing body to discuss the fall-out from the recent allegations about his private life.
I don’t think this coincidence. This is payback time, not by McLaren but by all the other big shots behind the scene.

“McLaren apologises over spy findings” [link]
I have the feeling that the only reason why McLaren is doing this is because they know that they can never win this battle and that it would have dragged on and on. The whole investigation has always been “proving that you are innocent” instead of the FIA proving that [...]

First they decide that the MP4-23 has to be checked on “illegal” Ferrari knowledge/parts. Now they decide that the results have to be shared with the competition and in a sense give them full inside on the construction and basics of the McLaren car.
When will this charade end?

Bernie Ecclestone warns FIA over title reversal
If a formula 1 car uses a front wing which does not comply with the regulations then the results are scrapped. If a car uses full which does not comply with the regulations then nothing should happen?

From the Guardian:
There was more bad news for McLaren yesterday when the FIA president Max Mosley said that not only was it unlikely that Hamilton would be crowned 2007 world champion, even if the team’s appeal against the stewards’ decision not to penalise BMW Sauber and Williams for breaching fuel regulations in the Brazilian grand [...]

I have read the transcript of the World Motor Sport Council about the spy case between Ferrari and McLaren (link to the document). It is a very interesting document because it give you an insight in the way the Formula 1 business is run which you normally do not see.
The statement gives you a nice [...]

The World Motor Sport Council has convicted McLaren for spying and using information of other teams (Ferrari). The punishment is $100.000.000 and reduction of all points gained during the year 2007 (construction championship).
I don’t believe this anymore. The fun I had watching Formula 1 is completely gone.
There is a team which has a HR problem [...]

Le Mans 24 2006
Oh my god, I do love the Internet.
I am watching the Le Mans 24 hours race on the Internet. RTL7 is streaming the live coverage and at the same time I am listening to radio Le Mans. All the TV channels are only broadcasting small bits of the race.
Audi is running first with a R10 [...]

One crazy race!
Paul Stoddart, team owner of Minardi, indicated on TV that 9 teams agreed to race if an additional chicane was placed on the track. That was rejected by Ferrari and the FIA.
Furthermore, he said that he and Jordan agreed not to race either but that his team was racing now because Jordan broke that agreement.
If [...]

One crazy race!
I’m watching a crazy Formula 1 race from Indianapolis.
Crazy because six cars are driving and 14 others quit after the installation lap. The six cars are using Bridgestone tyres while the other are on Michelin. Michelin made a mistake in the compound of the tyres and couldn’t garantee the safety of the drivers. The mistake [...]
