Ferrari's performance is once again the main talking point in the Formula 1 paddock this weekend, with more cheating allegations aimed at the Italian team. During qualifying Felipe Massa was a full 8 km/h faster than the nearest non-Ferrari runner and this has raised further suggestions that Ferrari's rear wing is illegal. Felipe Massa clocked in at 319 km/h and Michael Schumacher at 314 km/h, while the nearest other driver was Giancarlo Fisichella in the Renault at 311 km/h. This is quite a noticable difference and it is rather likely that Ferrari is using a flexy wing device. Ferrari could however just have a faster car, but with such a difference this is unlikely to be the case. The FIA has stated that Ferrari's wings are legal, but they are continuing to monitor the situation.
