I can't see what information that can come out that can change the situation. Mclaren had and used details from the Ferrari design.
Can we put something to rest here. It might be okay to keep trotting out the myths on other less reputable forums, but not here.
McLaren's 2007 challenger had already been designed, tested and was about to be, or being, raced when the 2006 Ferrari designs were being passed to Coughlan. The FIA inspected the design and build of the 2008 car and placed an FIA rep' in McLaren's garage for the entire 2008 season. This was part of the penalty McLaren incurred due to being found guilty by the FIA and World Sports Council of the charges brought against them'
No Ferrari intellectual property either in McLaren's designs or on their cars was ever found and we know that the FIA tried very hard indeed to find some. Had it been found the FIA would have implemented the suspended ban on McLaren's participation in the 2008 championship and Lewis Hamilton would not have been a World Champion.
The fact that the information was already out of date and practically useless seems to have escaped the attention of many but you can be sure the entire F1 paddock were fully aware of that at the time. This fact also partly explains why Renault, guilty of the same offence against McLaren got off with not much more than a quiet word in the corner. The whole thing was a political stitch up to clip McLaren's wings and it's no coincidence that Max Mosley fell from grace not long thereafter. Like any business Formula One cannot afford personal political agendas dominating its affairs for very long.
This, I suspect will be the meat of the story that we are waiting for. Our wait may be some time as you can put money on it that Max will use the courts to challenge anything RD puts down on paper. As always, timing is everything.
, heh, heh.
