Tech guys didn't know to look for it last year. You can't see it either without taking apart shocks. There also wasn't a rule against it. No one was cheating. No one really knows 100% he had it but everyone thinks he did. The theory behind inerters works and does improve tire contact. However it takes a lot of enginneering and testing and $$$$ to make it work. Penske has the engineering and we all assume he ran it last year when it was legal.
Now when the teams assumed he had it and found the cost and what it would take to get it right they all started crying foul. I for one think that we do not need this stuff. Most of you cannot comprehend the advantage and more importantly the manpower and $$$$$ involved if we are allowed to proceed down this road. TMD's would be next and surely tried and so forth. I love this sport but it is time for the powers at be to sit down with the drivers and car builders and think about where we want to be in 5 and 10 years. Money doesn't grow on trees and money will be harder to find for what is considered a hobby. I don't like rules either but bodies, suspensions, and engine costs are out of hand.
