    "The defending champion has to swallow the toad"

    A euphemism? Seems a harsh punishment.

    FOM would rather see cars in front of the red bull. (double meaning)

    How stupid after doing this after 5 races. Mid season rule changing is bollocks in my opinion by the FIA.

    Maybe Vettel shouldn't have said he thought RBR could catch Mercedes, not good to threaten the FIA marketing cash cow.

    If Sauber can be disqualified for a rear wing that's a little big, why haven't Red Bull been disqualified for this? <whistle>

    That article definitely suggests Red Bull interpreted one rule to their advantage, and ignored another.

    So, at the start of the season it passed, then they start to catch up to Merc and suddenly it's illegal.

    At the start of the season the stewards 'overlooked' the rule saying how far off the centre line it had to be. No rules have changed, big teams get away with anything these days :(

    I think it all depends on what they see as the most commercially profitable interpretation.

    Obviously the rule was written in the wrong kind of ink or something as Red Bull are ignoring the FIA

    I wonder if they meant Todt? Yikes!!!

    If so, that's almost as bad as Alleged-Nazi-Themed-Sadomasochistic-Sex-With-Five-Prostitutes-Gate.

    It's a petty thing for them to do, but if the FIA allow RBR to get away with it then all the teams will do it, so the onboard TV pics will be crap.

    RBR showing again they don't give a **** about the sport or the fans and will do what they want.

    Newey: Yes of course Charlie, just write the rule down with this pen which doesn't say, 'invisible after 1 hour'

    Miggins does not seem to know much about F1.

    &#8220;FIA marketing cash cow. &#8220; What is that supposed to mean?

    The FIA is not FOM.

    It was FOM that complained about the camera situation.

    I have already tried to explain to Miggins how the FIA obtain revenue from F1 but it is obvious that I failed to communicate facts to him effectively.

    Miggins, would you like me to explain it to you again or will you confirm to the forum that there is no point.

    Miggins struts around this forum in his virtual jackboots with his armband &#8220;M&#8221; proudly going from thread to thread, dragging out into the web street anyone that does not hate Lewis Hamilton as much as he does on the grounds that it is a threat to his doctrine.

    Tomorrow is Thursday. Miggins will be busy burning all the copies of Autosport magazine he can lay his hands on. The reason for his public bonfires? Autosport rated Lewis Hamilton more than 1 out of 10.

    I don't think this forum is very interested in the personal **** slinging between members.
