Exactly what parts did they agree to not develop? It looks as if it may just be a walk away by Ferrari this year if this is the case. Especially with BMW/Williams/RBR all climbing rather quickly.With his speed and ambition not in doubt, much of how Kovalainen builds on that debut could depend on McLaren’s 2008 form. The team were championship runners-up in all but name last year, and before the Ferrari ‘spy scandal’ were in prime place to take a historic ninth constructors’ title. But in Formula One racing performance one season is no guarantee of a similar level the next - a maxim the Finn knows better than most, having experienced Renault’s fall from grace in 2007. And there is always a chance that McLaren’s promise to suspend development on certain parts, in the aftermath of the ‘Spygate’ scandal, could put the MP4-23 at a disadvantage.

. The brake bias system, gas compounds used in the tyres and....one other, I can't recall 
... I believe they only agreed to a three month self imposed ban on development.
