Practice One - Ferrari one-two in first sessionFerrari set the pace in no uncertain terms in opening practice at Sepang on Friday morning, with Felipe Massa clocking the fastest time of 1m 35.392s and Kimi Raikkonen next up on 1m 36.459s. The Finn’s car stopped in Turn 12 during the course of the session, but only because it ran out of fuel.
Behind the red cars, Nico Rosberg split the McLarens. Heikki Kovalainen lapped his MP4-23 in 1m 36.556s and Lewis Hamilton his in 1m 36.626s, with Rosberg inserting his Williams FW30 between them after a late run of 1m 36.578s. It is still too early to determine whether they were all running similar strategies.
Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet were sixth and seventh for Renault, on 1m 37.022s and 1m 37.034s respectively. Robert Kubica lapped his BMW Sauber in 1m 37.218s, Jenson Button his Honda in 1m 37.282s, and the top 10 was completed by Jarno Trulli on 1m 37.540s for Toyota.
There were a few dramas this morning. The biggest concerned David Coulthard’s Red Bull. The Scot had lapped in 1m 38.232s, which left him an eventual 16th, when his RB4 appeared to suffer a suspension breakage after running hard over a kerb. It was not a good morning for the team, as Mark Webber, having lapped in 1m 38.707s for 17th, suffered an engine failure. He will not get a penalty as it’s Friday and all teams in any case get one free breakage, but the failure will compromise his running this afternoon.
Williams’ Kazuki Nakajima and Toro Rosso’s Sebastian Vettel had off-course moments, as did BMW Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld, and Adrian Sutil suffered an engine change (which will count, as he had his ‘freebie’ in Australia) in his Force India.
Behind Trulli, Heidfeld was 11th on 1m 37.649s, followed by Nakajima (1m 37.649), Honda’s Rubens Barrichello (1m 37.776s), Toyota’s Timo Glock (1m 37.782s), Vettel (1m 38.219s), Coulthard, Webber, Sebastien Bourdais (1m 38.798s) in the second Toro Rosso, Force India’s Giancarlo Fisichella (1m 39.046s), the Super Aguris of Takuma Sato (1m 40.178s) and Anthony Davidson (1m 40.351s), and Sutil (1m 41.269s
即將於巴黎召開的WMSC聽證會上所被提出的證據,可能會直接關係到2007年世界冠軍到底花落誰家。義大利報紙La Gazzetta dello Sport 描述新證據具壓倒性,聲稱McLaren不僅知道Ferrari的機密,而且還實際試驗一些對手所運用的技術。
英國The Times 則聲稱新證據總共有166頁,不僅包括Pedro de la Rosa與Fernando Alonso之間的電子郵件往來,還有電話通聯記錄以及Nigel Stepney與Mike Coughlan兩人之間往來交流的文字訊息。同時還有西班牙媒體報導上週五FIA主席Max Mosley警告McLaren車手們如果不配合FIA的調查詢問,將面臨被吊銷超級執照,失去擔任F1車手的資格,據說忠貞的Lewis Hamilton可能會遭殃。據了解Hamilton也在新證據出爐後被傳喚調查之列,但是他不像de la Rosa與Alonso一樣對Mosley的信件低調以對。
不過也有西班牙媒體力挺de la Rosa與McLaren,聲稱他們是清白的,「他們不是間諜或告密者,」根據與McLaren相當親近的消息來源向該報紙披露,「Fernando與Pedro並沒有指控他們車隊的任何事情,而車隊很清楚這點。他們只是以單純的證人身分出席。」
Briatore也表示這樁案子不僅傷害了F1運動,也讓Ferrari車隊因此受挫。「無所不能的媒體揭露了這件事情,因此這幾週以來我們都聽說了這件事情,但是就商業層面來說,這無疑是傷害了F1運動。如果說某人因為取得了相關的機密文件並從中獲益,更成為該隊所謂的優勢,那這樣還稱的上公平嗎?如果這叫做公平,那我也很想知道就竟Ferrari他們的賽車是如何配重。我今天有和Jean Todt通過電話了,他的聲音聽起來不怎麼好,不過我更可以感受得到Luca di Montezemolo(Ferrari母公司FIAT集團總裁)的不爽。」
Ferrari執行長Jean Todt在昨天稍晚繼續對外發表間諜案的相關言論,而在一封名為”黑暗下的一絲反擊(A reaction in the cold light of day)”一文中,Todt不僅質疑如果今天間諜案的角色相反,FIA是否會嚴懲Ferrari?更嚴厲斥責McLaren在與Ferrari簽下有好關係條款之後,卻在間諜案中露出虛偽。
眾所矚目的Ferrari與McLaren間諜案,FIA於26日在巴黎召開世界賽車運動會議(WMSC)進行裁決,會中做出決議不處罰McLaren車隊。停職中的McLaren首席設計師 Mike Coughlan被證實擁有多達780頁的Ferrari機密檔案,儘管WMSC認定Coughlan的行為已經違反ISC國際運動規則,但也相信McLaren主張並未使用這些機密資料而獲得優勢,因此裁定不必受罰。
Honda車隊聲明稿指出:「圍繞在Ferrari與Mlaren之間的法律調查案件,Honda Racing F1車隊必須澄清今年稍早前Scuderia Ferrari車隊的Nigel Stepney曾請求會見Honda Racing F1車隊執行長Nick Fry。Nigel Stepney隨後在今年6月與Nick Fry見面,隨行還有McLaren車隊的Mike Coughlan,目的是為了探詢加入Honda Racing F1車隊的機會。
