Test times have been so startling the team boss Ross Brawn has been forced to deny he has been submitting doctored timesheets to try to attract sponsors.
There've also been suggestions the car's been run without a full tank of fuel fuel so it's beneath the official minimum weight of 605kg plus driver.
