That's it in the background let it fall another political topic namely Ferrarigate or a secret agreement between FIA in Ferrari, which is said to be cow bargain in terms of suspected fraud at last year’s power unit Scuderie. The rebel teams were unhappy because she wanted to FIA this secret arrangement obviously sweep under the rug.

When this will be, however, is not yet clear. “A secret agreement concerning the technical compliance with the rules of the race car of one of the opponents understandably raises questions. And I'm sure we'll have a conversation with Jean Todt at the right time to understand why this agreement was made and what it consists of or what it's written," so Horner. Former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, so is a colleague from F1-Insider.com said he had to FIA in the worst case, reckon with a lawsuit. “Whether someone cheated or not. The FIA ​​statement sounded like an admission of Ferrari's guilt. Then why even get into it? The other teams have to persevere and, if nothing else, take the matter to court. It’s about the millions of cash prizes they deserve."
