if anyone is interested
main point so far
some photosBrawn: appeal is "vindictive", and "for people too slow off the mark".
Tozzi: "only a person of supreme arrogance would think he is right when so many of his esteemed colleagues would disagree".
Renault's legal representative, Andrew Ford, noted the FIA and Whiting had early last season ruled illegal a design by the French manufacturer similar to that currently being used by Toyota.
Tozzi: "The position of the FIA is totally baffling...we urge you to save the FIA from itself
this next part is very interesting to me
- The complexities of F1's technical loopholes seemed also to baffle the judges - one of whom, Malta's Guido de Marco, occasionally nodded off.
- Brawn made reference to a number of cars - including Ferraris - from recent years which could be construed as contrary to the regulations.
- Parr (Williams): "I find it almost pleasurable to hear Ferrari say they have won 11 world championships (drivers' and constructors') with an illegal car."
- Brawn criticised Byrne and Newey: the appellants' case was "a vindictive response... that amounted to a fishing expedition".
- Brawn rebutted Newey claim about speed: "The safety implication relating to a technical feature of the car is a bit below the belt."

Liked the bit where Ferrari accused Brawn of supreme arrogance. Brawn probably did more to deliver world titles to Ferrari than even Schumacher (supremest arrogance) did.

You may be right about why Ferrari said it. It would have been a more credible comment had it come from anyone other than Ferrari, with whom he shared so much success, i.e. a team that benefited from what they now describe as arrogance. The real misfortune is the extent to which F1, for a while now, has been shaped by what happens off the track rather than what happens on it. If spectators and viewers start perceiving that what happens during a race is only the prelude to complaints, appeals, hearings, etc. before a race result can be confirmed, then the sport runs a risk of becoming an irrelevant joke.

Given the rumours about Brawn GP being partly financed by a rather small gentleman with a fondness for tall girls many years his junior I find this verdict very unsurprising!
