Ok, I will never again laugh at the SCCA for their ridiculous protests;
THE FIA can't even figure out how to read a thermometer.
The full FIA statement:
"The FIA International Court of Appeal met in London on Thursday,
November 15, 2007, to examine an appeal lodged by the Motor Sports
Association (MSA) on behalf of its licence-holder Vodafone McLaren
Mercedes against the decision (document 41) of the Panel of the Stewards
of the 2007 Brazilian Grand Prix dated 21 October 2007 and counting
towards the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship.
"Following a report from the Technical Delegate indicating that the
temperature of fuel pumped into the cars N09 - Nick Heidfeld, N010 -
Robert Kubica, N016 - Nico Rosberg and N017 - Kazuki Nakajima, was more
than 10 degrees centigrade below ambient temperature, the Stewards of the
Meeting met to consider whether a penalty should be imposed. Having heard
the evidence they decided not to impose a penalty as they had sufficient
doubt as to both the temperature of the fuel on board the car and to the
true ambient temperature.
"Having heard the explanations of both parties and having examined the
various documents and other evidence, the Court decided that the appeal
lodged by Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is inadmissible.
"The International Court of Appeal was presided over by Mr Jan STOVICEK
(Czech Republic), elected President, and composed of Mr John CASSIDY
(United States), Mr Vassilis KOUSSIS (Greece) and Mr Jos? MACEDO e CUNHA
(Portugal).
"The full text of the International Court of Appeal's decision is
available, on request, from the secretariat of the FIA International
Court of Appeal in Paris."
