F1 secrets left on the web

This should be retitled 

"El Reg spoils fun of F1 fans"

Seriously, how often do we get a chance to see what the megalomaniac team principals are REALLY thinking / doing? :(

If MacLaren can be fined $100m for alledged personal use... 

...then how much will the FIA fine themselves for distributing the information to Every F1 team out there, and everyone else.

re: spoilsports 

i think the least the Reg can do is make a copy of the unedited version available for us all to read

Anyone know where can get a copy of the uncensored version ??.

Unedited version 

Can be found alive and well here:

It's really quite dull folks!

Also, this was removed well before El Reg had anything to do with it, or at least well before El Reg was reporting it...

Where to find it 

Perhaps a Google for wmsc-transcript-13-09-2007.pdf will bring up results?

The reg provides answer to questions 

I asked a question of how much the chief engineer gets paid at maclaren as he couldn't afford his own photocopier in an earlier article. Thanks to the reg (and the annonymous poster above) I now know. Thanks.

I've got this valve 

......and I honestly don't know where I should put it.

If only there was some form of document out there giving me a clue as to the best way to use it.

Something delayed, but then gradual...

Of course you realise... 

... now *all* F1 teams will be reading Ferrari's secrets, so they'll all be stripped of their Championship points, thus *guaranteeing* Ferrari another win!

Vulture on a leash? 

Very disapointed in el reg.

I recall the same thing happened in the gary mckinnon case when all the IP's of US military establishments were published... El reg Linked to that. Somehow F1 should be more secure in El Reg's eyes?? it is in the public domain so link to it!

FIA Just Really Like Red 

It's almost as if Ferrari leaked this technical information themselves so that they might later lodge some kind of complai... hey, wait a minute!

Commercial opportunity 

Sounds like a great new niche market for Adobe to enter, release a version of the software for redacting that solves this :)
