Technical - Formula 1 Scrutineering

When Charlie Whiting, the FIA Technical Delegate responsible for Scrutineering, rolls up at a Grand Prix on the Wednesday before the race, accompanied by a full-time assistant, two technical specialists - one in computers and software, and the other in fuel analysis - and nearly three tons of sophisticated measuring equipment costing the best part of a quarter of a million pounds, it would be logical to assume that the FIA is out to catch Formula1 Teams cheating. It is not. It is out to persuade them not to even try.
