Ferrari warn rivals against wing protest

The focus on Ferrari's rear wings has re-ignited again after Honda Racing technical director Geoff Willis wrote to the FIA after the San Marino Grand Prix asking for clarification on the situation.

Willis is believed to have video evidence that illustrates that the rear wing of Ferrari's 248 F1 is flexing - even though the team had been asked to make modifications to the design after an earlier controversy at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Although it is believed that Willis' letter has more to do with asking for a clearer understanding of the situation so Honda Racing can develop their own designs than an out-and-out protest against Ferrari, Brawn has indicated he is not impressed with the complaints from his rivals.

Speaking to German magazine Auto Motor Und Sport, Brawn said that if any protest was lodged against his team then Ferrari would immediately hit back with their own complaints.

"If somebody should protest against us, then we will immediately submit a counter-protest," he said.

"We have videos of every car in the field where it can be proven that aerodynamic components become bent when driving. If video material is the yardstick, then all the cars are illegal."

Honda Racing team boss Nick Fry told autosport.com last week that his team's motivation for the latest letter was that they were simply after a level playing field.

"I believe we are all playing to the same rules, and if there are things Ferrari are doing and we are prevented from using them then something ought to be done. It should be a level playing field," he said.

"In the last few months Charlie has done a superb job and when there were issues with the front wing Charlie reacted immediately. But it is now up to the FIA that we are all playing to the same rules.

"There is something that Geoff has been aware of and it is in the hands of Charlie now."
