On the other hand I feel that BAR should be penalised simply because they seem to push everything to the absolute limit when it comes to interpreting rules. Just like when they retired their cars in Australia. Several other teams could have but didn't. (Then the FIA amended the rule)

His body language said otherwise, post race. He was beaten fair and square by a driver in an inferior car! Alonso out-toughed, and out-thought him, and you could see that Schuey new it ,in the press room

Michael was beaten fair & square by some superb control of car & mind by Alonso-Hats of to him.Yes it did show in the press conf.

Kapel wrote:I meant,Alonso mentioning that Ferrari is also cheating(he has every rgt to make his opinion,pls read what i said when he made such comments) cant be a mind game to disturb Michael at this stage.

Elvington Park Ltd has appealed. "The cars were tested five days in a row last week," Ian Bailey, of the local Parish council, told thisisyork.co.uk.

Seriously maybe straight line testing is allowed. Does anyone have the text to this gentlemans agreement or was it verbal
