I heard a slightly different story, that is it was not Dennis, but rather 
Adrian Newey that was the informer. I agree with you assessment of McLaren, I 
find it more unsporting to "rat" on a competitor rather than being true 
"gentlemen" and being up front about their concerns. I believe that there 
should be a more comprehensive pre-event inspection, or at least if it got by 
qualifying tech it should be allowed. I think everyone would agree the 
"Zebras" should not determine the outcome of the game.
