- RBR racing cars would have photos of around 30,000 people who contributed to the charity ‘Faces for Charity’
Trivia : some interesting photos on RBR cars : England cricketer Freddie Flintoff, footballer Nigel Reo-Coker, Virgin radio DJ Christian O’Connell. Mark Webber’s donkeys, David Coulthard’s parents and even a few ultrasound images of as yet unborn F1 fans!
update : ( in reply to ‘Did u read that McLaren’s constructors points can be taken off if proven..’)
Yes, that is the top news. But I think it would be very hard to prove if some technology was used.
In favor of McLaren :
- By now McLaren would have removed all the ‘stolen’ components/technology.
- FIA just checks the car till it leaves Park Ferme, so if nothing was noticed in previous races it would be hard to prove with video and statical evidenced.
- If there is a doubt, the benefit will definitely go to McLaren.
- If same components as Ferrari were used McLaren, then why Ferrari and McLaren did not have comparable speed??
Things that will go against McLaren :
- If there is some component whose development cycle is not available with McLaren. It can be proven to be stolen based on ‘circumstantial evidences’
