Fernando Alonso has won the German GP after leading every single lap of the race. The Spaniard start from pole, and while being under threat, he was never passed. Sebastian Vettel finished in second place while Jenson Button is third. Their result though is still under investigation, as Vettel's passing move was a little dubious.

That's a very bad sign for them – it implies that they know they were wrong and they have no excuse at all.Hail22 wrote:http://www1.skysports.com/formula-1/new ... ontroversy

I'm sure Hamilton would be saying something like this if he read that...Teechnical wrote:http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/101403
I quote Horner, "I'm not aware of any irregularities. The result was declared after qualifying."
This is like one of those moments when Snape should say, "Don't lie to me"
the difference between 1) and 2) is the mapping, but in both cases, the pedal, when fully pressed, it producing 100% of current maps max torque...Article 5.5.3 says that “The maximum accelerator pedal travel position must correspond to an engine torque demand equal to or greater than the maximum engine torque at the measured engine speed. The minimum accelerator pedal travel position must correspond to an engine torque demand equal to or lower than 0Nm.”
member TFLB on autosport.forumsAutosprint says on twitter that it's almost certain that Red Bull will be forced to start from the pitlane.
So you assume a few things about something you have very limited information on and then came to a ruling that holds more credibility than the FIA's engineer?jz11 wrote:when I read the rule 5.5.3. I think of the following things:
1) lets say that the Renault engines max torque X Nm at 15k rpm, and they ran this map in previous events, like the delegate said,
2) RB now mapped and limited the engine to Y Nm (Y<X) at the same 15k rpm.
when I apply the 5.5.3., I expect that at any given moment, when the pedal is pressed fully, the engine will produce X Nm in the 1st case, and Y Nm in the 2nd case, I see no correlation between the low-torque engine map and a possible breach of 5.5.3. whatsoever
