Ferrarigate, the evidence at last

Postby expat » Mon Jan 07, 2008 12:07 pm

Well, it just goes to show that McLaren where guilty all along of cheating and ripping off the ideas of other teams. It is an outrageous copy of the new Ferrari and Ron Dennis should be ashamed. Could two F1 cars look more like each other if they tried

Both have rear wings.....Outrageous copying

Front wings.........What did you do Ron, send a couple of mechanics out with shirt button cameras down the Ferrari pit?
Image
Image

Side pods, they both just happen to come up with the same idea, I just don't think so..............unless Ron??
Image
Image

And the Air boxes, you both "just happend" to think of putting a camera on top.

Just how much more evidence to we need? An open and shut case if I ever saw one. McLaren should be banned for 1000 years, fed to lions and then their bones left to bleach in the sun.

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

there are a couple of visual simmilarities (not posted here) but to be honest, like I said in the Ferrari release, it looks like they(ferrari) just raided the toyota factory. ;D

The reality is, all the things Mclaren used were found guilty of copying were internal systems. ;)

Sorry I know the post is more a tongue in cheek thing but this is me we're on about. ;) ;D

...and after the whole thing, it's Ferrari who's car has a piece of McLaren kit on it.

Notice McLaren also copied Ferrari in not carrying a spare wheel either... ;)

That was McLaren's idea first, Ferrari nicked it.  ;)

Where would Lewis keep his golf clubs otherwise?

Unless of course, you compare the 1995 Benetton with the 1995 Ligier, which were externally pretty much identical... :)

The colour, the height of the driver, the front wing endplate rear, and the rear wing forward extendt bits. Oh, and the cheating german in the drivers seat of his "well deserved #1" ;)

Admittedly it isn't the best angle to demonstrate what I mean, and this text...

Two years later he quit Ligier to join Benetton. When Ligier was taken over by Benetton boss Briatore, Dernie was sent back to France - somewhat against his will. The 1995 Ligier allowed very little scope for engineering as it was based on the Benetton B195 design and there was little budget available for development.
