Oh, and I work for a car manufacturer, but that doesn't mean I know what other car manufacturers confidentially discuss!? Unless those letters were published for the hearing this week or at some other time, then the only way of knowing is industrial espionage, which is....that's right, cheating!! If they are published let us know where as I'm intrigued to read them!!

Dave, please be carefull insinuating that industrial espionage has been commited. That's a bit serious and I know a guy who's lost his career over this. If I've seen documents relating to my own company doesn't mean I can discolse them to the public. Also if two guys talk it isn't spying or cheating even if they discuss Intelectual Property, so long as the details are in thier heads. If peices of paper or documented information is involved that is when it becomes wrong.
This is a bit like a brick wall but- Some teams asked if they could use the loophole and were told absolutely not- it's against the rules. Then that rule isn't enforced for other teams. The fact that the FIA have have given different people in the same championship opposing views is the point.
