More on the flexi-floor issue (from F1-Live):
Alongside Ferrari, it has emerged that Swiss-German squad BMW Sauber is also implicated in F1's new controversy about allegedly moveable floors.
It has been reported that the under-bodies of the teams' single seaters, which may lower at speed to give a performance advantage in a straight line, came under scrutiny by rivals and the governing body in Australia.
The FIA did not answer a request for comment.

Lauda hits out at Todt's podium antics
Todt seemed far too happy says Lauda...
Former champion Niki Lauda has hit out at Ferrari's Jean Todt for acting insincerely and disrespectfully on the Australian Grand Prix podium.
The 58-year-old Austrian, who won his first two drivers' titles for the Maranello based marque, watched the Melbourne ceremony from the foot of the podium as a commentator for the German TV station RTL.
Lauda heralded Kimi Raikkonen's win from pole and observed that Ferrari has handled 'the transition from Schumacher to Kimi perfectly.'
But he hit out at Todt's antics on the podium, accusing the Frenchman of feigning a close relationship with Raikkonen.
"I have to condemn his behaviour," Lauda said, pointing out that Todt has often compared his relationship with Schumacher as fatherly, which was developed over more than a decade through handfuls of constructors' and drivers' championships.

Lauda said of Todt: "He was acting as if his best buddy Schumacher had just won."
After the champagne-soaked celebrations, reporters asked Todt about his relationship with Kimi.
"It is professional and friendly, and everyone can see that Kimi smiles much more than in the past," he said. "Everyone is really happy. I really enjoyed being on the podium with him."
:roll: ^ I don't see anything wrong here. "...condemn his behavior" (?!?)
