I dont know why this is such a big THING???
Spying other teams were always there and will be there. The way F1's style of operation actually encourages spying. "Human is always eager towards what he is prohibited from". The bigger teams always have a lot of resources and they do a lot of researches, testings etc.. using their bucks. Smaller teams can't do that so they're always pushed to sneak out on these bigger fellas. And why does a big team spy on others? Answer is simple: Jealousy! And in F1 it's available in truck loads.
You've got a big house and it's a nice one, packed with all the exotic and rich stuff. Now, you'll always make sure that it's safe by making it strong, burglar proof etc.. and will have guards around too. You wont just go blaming others without taking those safety measures. Same rule applies here. F1 teams should spend time and money to keep their well researched technology safe. There's no use in blaming others.
I'm in no way supporting Renault team if they did indulge in spying. That's the worst act of not being self confident. If you're happy with your life, then you wont try to steal others' stuff. Is'nt it?? |
