"Schumi wins!" "NOT so fast..."

Guess which red team might have been caught cheating... AGAIN.

That's right! FERRARI! It seems that they're doing the thing with the flexible wing again, except this time it's the entire rear wing flexing downwards, not just a tiny bit of it closing up a gap.

During Imola, it seems that the Ferraris were a good 7kph faster than everybody else in a straight line, and it's suspected it's because of the flexi rear wing. If it was another team, they'd probably be DQ'd from the race and suspended for a couple more (Honda, anybody?), but since we're talking about the My Little Pony team, nothing will happen.

Seems kinda pointless sometimes, doesn't it?

1 Ferrari have said they're running less wing than they like to so that their tires will work properly, and that if Monaco was the next race they'd be screwed. So that could explain the extra speed.
But it really depends on how the top speed is reached - if the acceleration is constant the whole way, then there's no problem. If the rate of acceleration increases towards the top speed, then there might be an issue.

But since it's only Honda complaining at the moment I wouldn't be too bothered. They're probably trying to distract everyone from their shambles of a season.
