El nuevo Ferrari podría estar incumpliendo el reglamento

Nueva temporada, pero hay cosas que no cambian, varios equipos se quejan de la ilegalidad del nuevo Ferrari. Existe una reclamación, probablemente desde el equipo McLaren, que hace referencia a que los bajos del Ferrari sean una parte aerodinámica móvil (prohíbido por el reglamento).
Parece ser que los bajos del Ferrari han sido diseñados de manera que en las rectas se acercan más al suelo, reduciendo de esta manera la cantidad de aire que circula bajo el monoplaza. Como consecuencia de disponer de estos bajos 'móviles' se necesita menos ala en el coche, incrementando su eficiencia en las rectas y haciendo al Ferrari un coche muy veloz.
De ser cierto este hecho, no sería legal ya que la FIA no permite piezas aerodinámicas móviles. No ha habido ninguna declaración oficial de la FIA, pero en el pasado GP Australia los comisarios de la FIA estuvieron prestando atención a los bajos de los coches, en especial a los de los Ferrari.
Todo ha podido venir de unas declaraciones que hizo Ron Dennis acerca de la legalidad de algunos monoplazas a una televisión americana: 'En la primera carrera siempre salen a la luz muchos avances nuevos de los equipos. ¿Cuales son legales y cuales no? es lo que veremos en las proximas carreras.'
Un portavoz de Ferrari respondió a la misma cadena SPEED:
"Es lo que pasa siempre que Ferrari es más rápido que los demás. No es la primera vez que se cuestiona la legalidad de nuestro coche. Si alguién tiene alguna queja, que vaya a la FIA."
Ahora toca ver si el Ferrari es ilegal y en tal caso, ver que medidas se pueden tomar como cástigo contra Ferrari. De todas formas todo esto puede ser 'una rabieta' por la superioridad mostrada por Ferrari tanto en pretemporada como en la primera carrera del mundial. El tiempo dirá quien tiene la razón.
F1 EXCLUSIVE: "Moving" Ferrari Floor Under Scrutiny From Rivals

THE FERRARI F2007 IS ILLEGAL?!
With the new season, comes new allegations of the Ferrari racecar being outside the rules from other teams. This time there are claims, possibly from McLaren, that the floor of the F2007 is a moveable aerodynamic device.
With the new season, comes new allegations of the Ferrari racecar being outside the rules from other teams. This time there are claims the floor of the F2007 is a moveable aerodynamic device. Apparently the floor of the Ferrari has been designed to drop down, bringing the car closer to the racing surface and thus reducing the air moving underneath the car. This would in turn increase the speed of the car in a straight line. Further to this, less wing would be required on the rest of the car, while still maintaining a high level of speed.
Of course this floor would be illegal, as it classifies as a moveable aerodynamic device. There has been no formal declaration of speculation from the FIA with regards to this issue. However, FIA stewards were seen at the Australian Grand Prix to be paying special attention to the floors of cars and specifically to the Ferrari's.
Speculation of the Ferrari being illegal may have come from McLaren's Ron Dennis as he was rather vocal about many cars being illegal when he spoke to American television network SPEED:"We will see how things are in two or three races. There is a whole range of things that come to light in the first race and you go and you say what is legal, and what is not legal. Most teams are given that current race to enjoy the benefit of the doubt. I think there will be a rationalization of some aspects of some cars that would close the gap if no one did anything.
You look at people’s cars, you are not always of the opinion that rule interpretation has been strictly adhered to, and you get in to, ‘Hold on a second, what are we allowed to do and what are we not allowed to do?’ and that always takes place at the first event. So it takes a race or two to know what is or isn’t permitted."
A Ferrari spokesperson responded to the criticism, stating this to SPEED:
"It’s part of the game any time Ferrari is quickest. It’s not the first time that there have been questions about legality. If someone has a complaint, there is always the FIA."
Now first of all, it must be stated that if the Ferrari is indeed illegal, which it may be, action should be taken against the Scuderia. However, this may simply be posturing from the other Formula 1 teams as they feel threatened by Ferrari's very impressive pace in pre-season testing and the race in Australia. As with everything in Formula 1, only time will tell.
