    Hey,

    From Autosport:

    Let the pissing begin..... He also noted that the only reason they didn't protest in Spain was it wouldn't have done them any good.

    Teams better get on their 'plan B' engine mapping this week for practice Thursday at Monaco then.

    The smaller teams have every right to complain about this. The Fia comments about costs and resources etc, yet the smaller teams could never have a chance to develop such insane engine mapping perameters for themselves considering their goal for the weekend is simply to get their car to finish the race.

    My guess is they'll protest Thursday evening/Friday - Charlie will then issue a clarification before P3 on Sat morning.

    *If* he does ban 'em it'll be interesting to see the outcome - I have a sneaking suspicion that the status quo will remain pretty much the same - But I'd love to be wrong ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian

    That's probably it. I can see Williams and Cosworth using them as the sacrificial goat.

    I think it's the principle of the matter more than anything to the small teams.
