McLaren cleared over Hamilton row
QUOTE McLaren have been cleared of any wrongdoing following an investigation into whether they illegally used team orders at the Monaco Grand Prix. Governing body the FIA said after studying the race that McLaren "did nothing which could be described as interfering with the race result". McLaren had admitted that they had asked Lewis Hamilton not to challenge team-mate Fernando Alonso for victory. But the FIA declared McLaren's actions "entirely legitimate and reasonable". It added that it was "standard procedure for a team to tell its drivers to slow down when they have a substantial lead" and "entirely reasonable to ask the drivers not to put each other at risk". "McLaren were able to pursue an optimum team strategy because they had a substantial advantage over all other cars. "They did nothing which could be described as interfering with the race result." McLaren boss Ron Dennis said in a statement: "The entire team was understandably disappointed that outstanding drives from both Fernando and Lewis resulting in a great one-two victory and McLaren?s 150th win was temporarily tarnished. "The efficient intervention and subsequent inquiry of the FIA into the allegations of the last three days has removed any doubt about the manner in which the team ran its cars during the 2007 Monaco Grand Prix." The FIA investigation upheld McLaren's argument that Hamilton had been deployed before the race with the possibility of switching to a one-stop strategy, while Alonso was on the optimum two-stop strategy. This was with a view to the team ensuring they were in the optimum position if a safety car had been deployed, as it has been in four of the previous five races at Monaco. Hamilton had expressed his confusion at being called in earlier than expected for his first pit stop rather than being left to run the additional laps the extra fuel in his car allowed, which might have allowed him to pass Alonso. McLaren's decision to call the Englishman in apparently early for his second stop, which also seemed to prevent him challenging Alonso's position, was also questioned. Fernando Alonso leads Lewis Hamilton during the Monaco Grand Prix Hamilton was unhappy at not being allowed to challenge Alonso But the FIA said: "With no safety car during Alonso's first stint, there was a small but finite risk that it would come out during the five laps before Hamilton had to refuel. "This would have put him behind the field and at a significant disadvantage to any car on a full (as opposed to optional) one-stop strategy. "The latter cars would be expected to refuel around lap 40 - ie after the safety car had pitted if it came out during Hamilton's extra laps. "For similar reasons, Hamilton was called in early for his second pit stop, thus assuring his second place, with or without the safety car." The FIA statement continued: "Had the car in front of Hamilton not been his team-mate, McLaren might (probably would) have decided to risk the safety car and let Hamilton run for as long as his fuel allowed in the hope he would come out of the pits in the lead after one of his pit stops. "There is, however, no obligation on them to take this risk in order to overtake their own car. Indeed it would be foolish to do so." The FIA examined radio communications between McLaren and their drivers, data from the team and a report from the official observer before coming to its conclusions. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport...one/6704973.stm |

QUOTE(shinjite @ Jun 11 2007, 03:15 AM) No worries ler....this race is unexpected, got a stop/go penalty some more, well its Mclaren's fault for not obeying the rules. Ya. Im surprised on Mclaren reliability this years. Hope can continue the reliability on next week race Anyway, Hamilton at 48, Alonso at 40, still got chance. This season Mclaren can sweep both championship nicely if they continue with their brilliant performance. I was surprised on their reliability too |

McLaren play down Alonso claims
QUOTE McLaren team boss Ron Dennis has denied claims that the team are giving preference to rookie Lewis Hamilton over Fernando Alonso. World champion Alonso told Spanish radio that "we knew all the support and help would go his way". But Dennis told the team's website: "There is a healthy competition between the teams working on each car. "But I can categorically state that both drivers have equal equipment, support and opportunity to win." Alonso's comments to Spain's Cadena Ser radio came just two days after Hamilton claimed his maiden victory in Canada on Sunday. The 26-year-old, who won the world title with Renault in 2005 and 2006, is eight points behind Hamilton in the championship. The Spaniard said he had misgivings as soon as he joined the team at the end of 2006. "From the first moment, I wasn't completely comfortable. I am in an English team, with an English team-mate, who is doing brilliantly," Alonso had said. "We knew all the support and help would go his way. It is something I understand and I'm not complaining." But Dennis insisted that neither driver is favoured, adding: "It's completely understandable that the results of each Grand Prix are going to provide both the British and the Spanish media with an opportunity to hang on every word that the drivers say. "Fernando's comments when read carefully are correct, he hasn't been with the team long and the relationship can only continue to develop. "The team is not going to do anything to jeopardise this positive and growing partnership." Alonso finished seventh in Montreal after falling foul - through no fault of his own - of a new rule forbidding drivers to pit in the initial stages of the safety car being deployed. Although Alonso has won two races to Hamilton's one, Hamilton has been more consistent and has finished on the podium in each of the first six races. Alonso also said Hamilton had been "lucky" to win in Canada because of the timing of the safety car. "Lewis's win is good for the team. But it was very lucky as well as were on similar strategies and if the safety car came out one lap before Lewis's stop we wouldh ave been eighth or ninth." Alonso has made uncharacteristic mistakes at the start of two of the last three races, but Renault driver Heikki Kovalainen, who worked with Alonso last year, does not believe he is feeling the strain of Hamilton's brilliant debut season. "He's not feeling the pressure," Kovalainen told BBC Sport. "I don't think Lewis has any impact on him. Fernando is mentally very tough and is still one of the top guys. "He pushes very hard for the win every race and mistakes can happen when you race like that. "Yes, he might have made a mistake in Barcelona and one in Canada, and because they have happened in a short period of time it looks very dramatic, but I don't think it affects him. "He is going to be very strong, fighting for the championship for sure." |
