    This thread is not about personal pictures, it is however about illegal equipment being used by Renault.

    Do you have that source which says Charlie Whiting has changed his mind?

    Oh I know, couldn't help it, i'll stop now. And yes the whole damper ban is stupid. Now Whiting is trying to make himself not look stupid.

    I have tried my sincere best to stick to the topic.

    All these references to nuts and pictures are off topic.

    The verdict of the appeal lodged by the FIA against the German Grand Prix stewards will be known on August 23, the governing body said on Thursday.

    The FIA lodged the appeal after the stewards said there was nothing illegal about Renault's mass damper system when the French team submitted their spare car for scrutiny with the component still installed.

    The governing body had outlawed such dampers only days earlier.

    The International Court of Appeal will meet on August 22 in Paris, and the verdict will be made public the following day.

    Championship contender Renault has followed the lead of Toro Rosso and removed its controversial mass dampers ahead of opening practice in Hungary.

    Sources in the Budapest paddock report on Friday morning that, following Toro Rosso's failed presentation of the system to scrutineers on Thursday, and an updated letter from Charlie Whiting, Renault decided to heed the FIA's advice to let the saga lie.

    The tale first arose at Hockenheim, where Renault also decided to remove the system even after race Stewards overruled Whiting's claim that the device is illegal. Lead driver Fernando Alonso finished a championship-damaging fifth.

    But the Spanish racer said in Budapest: "Sometimes you notice (the effect of the mass damper), sometimes you don't. It depends on the circuit. "

    Bumpy Hungaroring, go-kart-like and notably uneven in some key braking zones, is understood to be one of the circuits where the reduction of 'tyre-bouncing' is most helpful.

    After Renault introduced the system last September, the current R26 car was designed around the system.

    Sources also report that while the Stewards in Germany a week ago were receptive to the legality of mass dampers, they took a different attitude during Hungaroring scrutineering on Thursday.

    Still no source that Charlie Whiting has changed his mind from racerx or berdando?

    "Reading between the lines" in the above article Charlie Whiting and now the race stewards are against the mass-dampers.

    Hmmm, different attitude, the attitude to not make Whiting look like a fool. Interesting how the matter will be resolved even quicker now. More FIA BS.
