specifically designed for this purpose.
There were even rumours that this was the cause of Ayrton Senna's crash.
So who could have nobbled Hamilton?

For your info, there were loads of rumours that betting syndicates were attempting to use this technology in the mid '90's

strange how that electronic problem solved itself knowing Alonso could/nt catch the Ferrari.s..bernie the bung had a hand in this.now we have 4th 5th and 6th places under review for fuel.win by default is a false victory.

I think you might have been correct in 2002 when they had 2 way telemetry. The team could communicate throughout the entire lap with the car. This helped Coulthard with a problem he had at the Monaco GP. But from what I believe that it has been disabled now per the FIA. I think the teams can only communicate with the cars control systems when when the go by the start finish line. And it can only acquire data.

Very good point.
Anybody with half a cell up there know's that this is how Senna [ died ] .
They can do anything with the cars electronics now, and they could ten years ago aswell.
Mclaren will have knocked out Lewis's engine for a few moments in some kind off back hander way as not to pay Ferrari more money out with the £50 mill already gone from Mc's account.
Like the old saying goes: Keep you friends close [ your drivers ] but your enemy closer [ the boys in red ].

No one... it was just an unlucky technical glitch.
Under current F1 rules, the teams are no longer allowed to twiddle with the car settings remotely via Telemetry... only receive feedback on what's going on with the car, so there's no way in hell something like that caused the problem if the telemetry system no longer has the features to alter settings on the car (especially with an FIA scrutineer looking over their shoulders).

Interesting point on the betting syndicates. You can bet someone lost a boat load of money today.

No one the FIA had someone sitting in the Mclaren garrage cause of accusations made by Alonso so they team wouldnt even do a thing like that and you cant just switch a F1 car off you can only do a few things to it.

I said Fernando peed in his petrol tank lol. seriously with a scrutineer in the garage i don't think anyone played with his electronics.

Then, why Fernando's car hasn't have any trouble this time?
I think management of Mclaren (Ron Denis) hasn't taken the discipline of the team under control so they get what they deserve.

Lewis had a new engine in his car so just who did nobble his gearbox.
