Me too... 1. Phil Shumassa 2. Kimmi Raikonnen 3. Lewis Hamilton Alonso DNF Let´s see if I get it straight this time
If it's really really wet, they will have a boat race. Wet races are more fun to watch anyway. Not like those Wimbledon Tennis wimps whose motto is "The first raindrop that falls on me is God's fault, the second raindop that hits me is MY fault."
It's not about what they DID do, but the perception of what they COULD HAVE done with the information.

Read the first sentence of this report from F1 Live...it's the crux of my point. With scandal comes sensationalism and you'd best believe the media will link the info w/performance increase, even if there is no certain link: In what could become one of the biggest scandals in recent times within Formula One, the Ferrari team revealed today that they received a tip off from someone outside of the sport regarding the alleged transfer of team information. The following is a press release from the Italian team. 'Ferrari wishes to clarify that the English police have so far not been involved in investigating the theft of technical information.' 'It was brought to Ferrari's attention by a third party outside Formula 1 racing within the last fortnight, that a senior member of the technical staff within the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team might be in possession of highly sensitive Ferrari information. ' 'Ferrari reviewed the evidence and consulted London lawyers towards the end of last week. ' 'Ferrari then made an urgent application to the High Court in London on 2 July for the court's assistance.' 'As is usual with this kind of court order, Ferrari is currently prevented by the court from making any public statement about the information that it gained as a result of serving the court order.'
