Does the FIA turned a blind eye to the team Brawn GP?

As soon as I saw it was Marca I thought the same. It's likely to be a cut'n'paste from any old car plus an assortment of kitchen utensils.

Then that's BS, they had 7 days testing with the new car none of which with grooves.

[se7en_24]

" Flavio Briatore says that stabbed them in the diffuser. "

Sounds painful.

[BuzzingHornet]

That picture could be anything

I think its safe to say that if us forum trolls have got a picture of it, the likes of Williams, Ferrari and BMW will also have extensive info about what this is, and have they protested it or even mentioned it?

According to them it was on the 28th of march...
They were doing refuelling simulations so they fitted with those tyres...

Actually this is the oil cooling side which has a larger opening.

The other side is closed with the exhaust sticking out a bit, but I believe it is within the allowed margins.

1.4 Bodywork :
All entirely sprung parts of the car in contact with the external air stream, except cameras, camera
housings and the parts definitely associated with the mechanical functioning of the engine, transmission
and running gear. Airboxes, radiators and engine exhausts are considered to be part of the bodywork.

[united]

Miquel proudly works for AS.

[bogi]

Brawn have hidden Taliban in ther car, that 1cm pipe is AK-47.

[V8 Fireworks]

Since their exhausts are far rearward that is probably outside of restricted area OR already fixed. Spanish journalists

[Peter Perfect]

Oh dear. Has Hamilton been forgotten already?

[kaivo]

yes, we need a new victim

[airwise]

I'd like to see Brawn take action in the courts against these Spanish jokers for possible defamation. F1 really doesn't need the type of gutter press that seems to be associated with Marca.

Don't know where those photos were taken but weren't their Virgin logos on the sides of the cars for both races?

I don't think it matters a jot where and when those photos were taken. The BGP001 passed scrutiny at both races. They were deemed legal and complied with rules and regs. The story is just a rag trying to create a sensation, nothing more.

Just a bit of rabble rousing to excuse the poor pace of a certain Asturian.

Exhaust? I thought it was the diffuser?

[Madras]

ok so they left their willy sticking out a bit, who cares?

[Dalek Caan]

You have to laugh, this kind of developmental controversy does follow Ross Brawn around - and he knows perfectly well why. He's a wily old fox.

[ButtonFan]

The other teams have obviously said something already to Brawn otherwise they wouldn't have changed it. However the reason not much has been mentioned regarding it before is really because it nots giving a performance advantage at all. Also how that report thinks that they are pretuding by 10cm needs his eyes testing it cannot be anymore than 5cm at most.

Hes a comparison picture of the ferrari before it was changed.

http://www.autosport...1757_F2009_26-2


As you can see there is a huge difference between the Brawn and Ferrari.


Its just the paper trying anything to discredit a team doing well.

[Jones Foyer]

I suppose there is some exhaust tuning done in testing where the length is not yet fixed, the brawn pic in question have no numbers on the cars, so the car is not racing, practicing, or qualifying, so it really is a non-issue.

They're fast- honestly fast, get over it, accept it, folks.

[Dragonfly]

And no Virgin logo on some other pictures.

[noikeee]

Marca's reasoning probably goes along the lines of: they're british, they're winning, therefore they're cheaters.

Sorry for the lame post but someone had to say it.

[Slartibartfast]

That's nothing compared to the exhausts on the new McLaren:
