The FIA maintains double standards.It has always been Anti Ferrari.When they were winning races they changed the rules to stop them winning.Last year Schumi was demoted to last on the grid at Monte Carlo for seemingly obstructing Alonso.This time Alonso does the same & gets demoted 5 places.Macclaren were caught with Documents & they get no punishment.Last year Renault had a Illegal Dumper & then to nothing happened.Mcclaren were struggling all these years & suddenly their cars are fast.They say its because of all testing & work.Does it mean that before 2007 they used to not work & test out or is it because of the 780 pages of Ferrari.Kind of co incedence but nobody complains.Instead Ron Dennis now says Ferrari cheated in Australia.Why did he keep quite?How did he know about Ferraris new flooring & then ask FIA to change rules which has affected Ferrari performance.Ferari along with the otherrs leaving Renault & Mcclaren must leave F1 & start their own Racing.A fitting reply to FIA & Bernie Ecleston.This is Mcclarengate ...

very true man.. at present the only guy i have any respect for is raikkonen. he is one guy who races with his heart and pushes very hard. when he was in mclaren he used to be given a car which failed every race( he hardly completed 2 or 3 races and still gave a fight to both alonso and schumi) and now suddenly they are winning everything.. seriously there is something fishy going on.. i think the main reason for anti ferarri rules is that they have bridgestone tyres unlike the other main cars which run on michelin..

Get the stats right.. No more Michelin this year.. All cars run on Bridgestone. McLaren struggled last year but they could have worked with the car which had to race the 2007 season very well and they are now reaping benefits. I am a ferrari fan and love Schumi but you cant take such a claim on them...
Leave Mclaren alone, as they have two ego maniacal drivers to deal with.
Of course rules were placed to control Ferrari dominance but a true victor mustn't be whining and instead should have improved their game above the others and won, which Ferrari failed to do for the past two years.they don't have the reliabilty which had once been their speciality when schumi won 15 races in a season. Work on it guys and you could again be on top of the podium...Way to go Ferrari...We Will Win...

Very true Leslie! Just to add one more note - When Schumi was dominating, FIA brought out rule of Traction Control thats when/why today's kids (Alonso & Co) find it easy to control the car! Get the traction control out of F1....then it will be fun! Mclaren has many times accused Ferrari being favs with FIA & FIA never punishes Ferrari!!!
