[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 432547, member: 185281"] Nice comeback :) I'd cut your team budget for that if I could, but alas I can't, and my last name isn't Mosley :D I was reading Mosley's bio on Wikipedia, I has no idea he was a son of Oswald Mosley! Probably explains alot. The fact is, and [b]everyone[/b] knows it, is that it is part of the culture in the sport for teams to try to get info on the competition. You'll see teams sending out personnel across the paddock to literaly have a look at the other cars during Friday practice. However, I very much doubt that this sort of data exchange and line of communication is commonplace, and this is almost definitely the most 'high-up' in the chain. As Bernie said, if this had been Super Aguri and Toro Rosso, nothing would have been done, which suggests that this incident isn't [i]completely[/i] isolated. As I said, it is still shocking to outsiders looking in that the drivers were so flippant in their discussion regarding Ferrari data (the world champions Alonso no less), especially the use of commonication tech - email, phone call, texts. They know they are breaking rules, you would have thought they'd be covert about it. What I really do believe to be against the spirit of the sport is the race-day communcation - McLaren knowing Ferrari strategy just can't be right. I think that is the most damaging detail, even more so than the dossier and car data. It might be rather poignant to remember that the discovery of the dossier, which started it all off, was made by an employee at a photocopying shop near Woking where Coughlan's wife took it to be copied! Blame Trudy :D! [/QUOTE]
