Default Lets see the e mails please
What is clear is that Stepney's intervention did result in Ferrari being forced to change its car after the Australian GP when McLaren went to the FIA. There was also a letter, written in August in which Stepney gave details of his attempts to tip off the FIA about the Ferrari, before he went to McLaren. This was mentioned in the recent World Council transcript in which Max Mosley said that there was nothing in these contacts with Peter Wright, Charlie Whiting and Jo Bauer to suggest that this was whistle-blowing. Unfortunately, the FIA says that it will not publish these e-mails and clear the air. This is not really in keeping with the federation's oft-stated desire for "total transparency" and will create perceptions which the FIA would probably be wise to avoid.

Seems to be one rule for the fia & max and one for everybody else. What a surprise!

Maybe those emails contain technical info about Ferrari that the FIA can't make public without giving away Ferrari's technical knowledge to other teams? After all After all whistle blowing isn't about Jeant Todt's diet.

They could propably publish a version with the sensitive stuff taken out.
The description of moving bits shouldn't be of any value it being against the rules and not used by the team.

I simply don't understand how that can be so. How else is such a thing defined if not as whistle-blowing?

I would like to ask everyone not to start with the legality of the floor it self.
It's been talked to death already numerous times and the parties involved haven't been able to agree on it.

Just for the record, it was not just Ferrari, for the 100th time, to be fair at least to the news,who had to change the bottom or their car, but Renault and Bmw as well. And once again Ferrari, like the othe teams had past the FIA controls.
This issue has been debated 1,000,000,000,000,000 times. Whay bring it up again? And I am the paranoid.
PS Whoever is working at the McLAren PR's office for sure is doing a better job than his Ferrari conterpart.
