Berger not worried over customer cars issues
07 February 2007More and more is being said about Toro Rosso and Super Aguri using a chassis build by another Formula 1 team. Mainly Spyker and Williams are the teams who believe Toro Rosso and Aguri are not following the FIA's rules. Toro Rosso team boss Gerhard Berger though believes his team is 100% legal.
Speaking to F1.com Berger said about the issue: "I am not worried because there is nothing we can do. We checked very carefully on the legal side, on the FIA side. We have checked very carefully the wording of the Concorde Agreement, and it shows very clearly to us that what we are doing is absolutely correct - that we are inside the regulations. We went on a route that even if we wanted we could not go back. It is done."
And thus Berger believes his cars are not illegal at all. "If somebody from the other teams have that impression, that's the nature of competition. But it is not up to them to judge whether what we are doing is right or wrong. I respect their comments, but in our view we are a hundred percent fine. It is basically Williams and Spyker who are worried and I know the reason for that - they fear our competitiveness."
And thus Berger wouldn't mind taking this to court if Williams and Spyker would want like to do so. "If they want to do so, fine, then we will fight it out. But again, we checked our situation very carefully, and we don't see the slightest hint that we are not fulfilling the wording of the regulations."
