la force supreme des mclaren 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 An important piece of news..............poor spyker....... Stewards reject Spyker protest The Malaysian Grand Prix race stewards have rejected Spyker's protest against Scuderia Toro Rosso after they decided they were unable to rule on the matter. Following lengthy deliberations overnight, the stewards felt that with the customer car matter already being looked at in arbitration, it should be dealt with by the courts only. A statement issued by the FIA on Friday said: "Spyker have made an application for arbitration and must by definition therefore be deemed to accept that a dispute such as this (the grounds of the protest being effectively the same as that matter to be determined in arbitration) does not fall within the range of disputes to be settled under the FIA 2007 Formula One Sporting Code. "It is considered therefore that it would be entirely inappropriate for the Stewards to involve themselves in a matter being dealt with at the instigation and election of the Protestor, Spyker, in an entirely different forum. "It follows, that this Protest is inadmissible and the Protest fee is accordingly returned." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Adams 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Thats just terrible for Spyker, its like the FIA stewards are just passing the buck, they don't want to give an answer because its too difficult for them... Surely if the FIA rules say something its their responsibility as well? Although im torn on the whole issue, I like Red Bull (and hence STR) but Spyker also have a good valid point too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have a clue as to why the pace of the Mclaren's dropped in the second session. they did the least number of laps amongst the Big 3.

la force supreme des mclaren 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Massa again on top in practice 2 - Malaysia Felipe Massa maintained his strong form in this afternoon's second practice session for the Malaysian Grand Prix - although the Brazilian's benchmark 1:35.780 lap was 0.8 seconds slower than his fastest time from first practice. The Renaults were Massa's nearest rivals on this occasion. Late fast laps from Giancarlo Fisichella and Heikki Kovalainen brought the champion team from the midfield to second and third, with Fisichella 0.130 seconds slower than Massa. Kimi Raikkonen was fourth again, just under 0.4 seconds from his teammate. The McLarens were only ninth and 12th this time, with Lewis Hamilton 0.2 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso. They had set the initial pace, as Hamilton usurped initial pace-setter Jarno Trulli after seven minutes. Hamilton's 1:37.323 was beaten almost immediately by his teammate Alonso, who lapped three tenths faster. Alonso also became the second front-runner to be fined for pitlane speeding today - receiving a 600 Euro punishment after being caught at 63km/h in the pits. Five minutes later, BMW's Robert Kubica moved ahead with a 1:36.717 lap, while the Ferraris initially kept a low profile, with Raikkonen only fourth quickest and Massa back in seventh. But as the session neared its halfway point, the Ferraris returned to the track and took charge of the timesheets, with Raikkonen lapping in 1:36.669 before Massa produced his 1:35.780 a few moments later. Williams showed promising speed again, with Nico Rosberg and Alex Wurz fifth and sixth fastest. Rosberg had shaken his first at Raikkonen in the middle of the session after feeling he had been baulked by the Ferrari. The session was interrupted after an hour and a quarter when Christijan Albers' Spyker suffered a dramatic right-rear tyre blow-out under braking for Turn 1. The Dutchman brought the car back under control and pulled off after Turn 2, but six minutes were lost to a red flag while the resultant debris was cleared. Other drivers in trouble included Mark Webber, who stopped on track at Turn 9 immediately after the session was restarted, and Vitantonio Liuzzi, who took a trip through the gravel at Turn 8.
