In the course of his press conference, Max Mosley revealed the the FIA technical delegate, Joachim Bauer, whose measurements at the Malaysian Grand Prix lead to Ferrari's disqualification, admitted in the Court of Appeal's hearing yesterday that the flaw on the Ferrari deflectors was actually within the tolerance, in every aspect. "Therefore," Mosley said, "No judge would have any alternative but to make the finding they found." Mosley also denied that the appeal was upheld to allow an exciting final race in Japan, saying: "Five independent judges had the benefit of listening in great detail to the evidence. There was no influence."
