Why massa on 2nd engine?
I thought they all will using new engine next GP.

He retired at monza IIRC, which means he CAN use a new engne for SPA. Wether he use it or not is between the team and the FIA

If he use new engine mean he will back 10 position at SPA GP right? correct me if im wrong.

"Since spring, the champion in charge defended himself about the espionage topic: "I can't say anything about it. I concentrate on driving".
Thursday's hearing in Paris and the hardest punishment in the history of sport ($ 100 million fine, deduction of all constructor points) showed he is a CHEATER, as he was privy [to the espionage]"

Alonso is a cheater!! a blackmailer!! is this the owner of the WDC??

Mosley, though, feels the whole affair has cast a stain over the sport, and that might not sit well with Hamilton should he go on to win the title in his rookie year.

"I think he will probably feel more comfortable if he wins a subsequent championship, which I am sure he will, without any of these question marks," said Mosley.

"There was a big debate in the World Council about whether all the points should go - team and drivers.

"We discussed whether to take the drivers' points from McLaren, but allow the drivers to drive, don't interfere with their super licence and so on.

"The lawyers felt everything should go - drivers points and all - because they argued: how can you give the world champion's cup to someone who may have had an unfair advantage over other drivers?

"They have effectively cheated. But the other side of it was, here is this brilliant world championship between Hamilton and Alonso.

"The sporting people were saying, 'If you interfere with that, you are spoiling a very good championship. It wasn't the drivers' fault.' But there again, it never is.

"Very often, for example, a car will be disqualified from a race because it is a kilo overweight which will probably make no difference at all, but you have to have this principle. It's the same as in athletics or anywhere else, if you're outside of the rules, you are not in the game.

"So there will always be a question mark over it, there has to be, because nobody knows how big an advantage they had from that.

"But that they had an advantage is almost beyond dispute."

-Max Mosley

24 hours after former World Rally Champion Colin McRae was killed, Prodrive chief David Richards survived a helicopter crash when returning from the Belgian Grand Prix.

Richards, McRae's former boss at Subaru WRT, was returning to Essex in the UK from Spa Francorchamps with his wife when the helicopter he was piloting suffered a fault.

They crash-landed in a field and the aircraft turned onto its side, but police confirmed that Richards - to take his Banbury-based outfit into Formula One next year - and his wife Karen 'walked out of the wreckage'.

They were treated for shock but unhurt, according to BBC reports.

"David and Colin were great friends and it's an amazing coincidence that this has happened," a Prodrive spokesman said. "We are just thankful he and Karen are okay."

IMO the race at Spa, the front runners battle are kinda boring, the best i would say the battle between BMW vs Heiki. nice driving from heiki btw.

not Heidfield la... Kubica

The McLaren drivers points should go!!! 

The WMSC don't have the balls to do it as no one will watch the remaining races if it was done.

I'm sure the Ferrari technical data will have detailed info on Bridgestone tyres - tyre pressure, strategy for every race, etc.
This give McLaren an incredible unfair advantage as tyres are 1 of the 3 most important factors in a F1 car.
They don't have to copy Ferrari's data, just learn from it an apply the theory.
But they save lots of time & money on R&D. Even R&D may not give them the same info.

Therefore WMSC will never find direct evidence of Ferrari data in McLaren's car.

This year tyre spec is not the same as last year. All teams has been given the chance to test 07 tyres during winter testing.

So if this give Mclaren unfair advantage, then why this is happening ?

2007 season :

Pole : Kimi (3), Massa (5), Alonso (2), Hamilton (4)
Fastest lap : Kimi (5), Massa (5), Alonso (3), Hamilton (1)

Well, Kovalainein was on the heavy fuel tank and Heidfield was on the lighter one, so Heidfield is trying desperately to get pass him.

HieldField are damn lonely in the whole race.. he racing himself only... 

the gap between BMW n Ferarri/McLaren big..  and Renualt/William gap also big to BMW...

testing the Tyre is one thing..  knowing the weight distribution of the car to the trye is another thing...  Ferrari spend time/$$ to find out the weight distribution to suit the tyre, McLaren spend a few email to know about it..  so fair..    so easy.. 

haihz,dun take it personal, evohahn, ppl juz never listen, if u fanboys still wanna debate about the spying scandal issues, pls do it at the team's respective thread, or there is another thread about this case specifically......
