Unwarranted Invite

Just when we thought we were seeing the beginning of the end of the Spygate affair, Luca di Montezemolo comes out with another prod towards McLaren. We really didn’t need one of the childish jabs from the Ferrari boss especially given that after months the fans were getting to the end of the tunnel. McLaren owned up in admitting that things had gone farther than they claimed to know. The FIA in turn cleared their 08 car and more or less began to wind down the Spygate affair.

For him to come out and offer the photocopy employee that alerted about Couglain’s shenigans to come over to Italy shortly after the aforementioned just seemed to be nothing more than one more swift kick aimed at McLaren. It reminds me of the petty gamesmanship that we saw around Spa when even Hamilton got involved in some of it. Ferrari have been vindicated from their point of view so why not just keep the head down and focus on 2008 and be the bigger ‘man’ so to speak.

Thats it for 2007. We have much to look forward to in 2008 with car launches in early January before the work towards the new season begins in earnest. Bring on Melbourne. Hope you all have a happy and safe New Year.
