F1 feud rumbles on with Dennis letter
12 April 2012
The war of words between McLaren and Ferrari has intensified, with Ron Dennis accusing the Italian team of winning this year's Australian Grand Prix with an illegal car.
Dennis believes Ferrari ran their cars with an illegal floor at Melbourne, where Kimi Raikkonen triumphed.
In a letter to FIA president Max Mosley, Dennis wrote: "Ferrari only withdrew the floor device after it was confirmed to be illegal by the FIA."
He added: "Were it not for Mr (Nigel) Stepney (former Ferrari head of performance development) drawing this illegal device to the attention of McLaren, and McLaren drawing it to the attention of the FIA, there is every reason to suppose that Ferrari would have continued to race with an illegal car."
