"Twenty four hours after a Stewards' decision against Fernando Alonso enraged Renault chiefs, the French squad launched a protest against Ferrari's tyres.

While the press was preoccupied with Michael Schumacher's retirement, it initially passed unnoticed that - an hour after the chequered flag at Monza - Renault questioned the legality of the red team's Bridgestone boots.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, and Spain's AS newspaper, Renault and Michelin chiefs showed the governing body photographs that supposedly depicted a Bridgestone technician spraying Ferrari's tyres with illegal chemicals.

Such chemicals could be used to improve tyre grip.


Their 'proof' of wrongdoing was the Bridgestone-Ferrari technician's wearing of protective gear, including special masks and gloves, but it is understood that FIA officials were satisfied with the explanation offered to them.

It is further understood that the tyres in question might have been seized for further detailed testing.

Ferrari boss Jean Todt said of Renault: "In many ways they are good, but in this case I must say they are weak."


Interesting...

Any excuse! This was after the race? Right, going to be a great benifit to Ferrari in grip... Make sure it doenst slip over in the pit garage.

Renualt boss has also accused the FIA for fixing the session in Ferrari's benifit... Right... They rigged it and your Renault engine just happened to blow... Does that mean that your in on it too Favrio?

I'm sure Ferrari does something like this to their tires and that they are not alone to do it either. But it's not against the rules so Renault are just jealous because they didn't come up with this invention before Ferrari. And they got their massdamper banned so they need to get back at every price. Usually called desperation.

Good man. Couldn't have said it better myself! Renault need to pull their fingers out and do war on the track and not war with pointless accusations thinking they will get somewhere.

Flavio Vs. Todt

C.Charles

Flavio will do anything to get what he wants, but it is beyond a joke now, everyday I here Renault accusing someone and when they get pulled up for something, they cry like school girls.
