What ... no post about the McLaren ordeal???

[FUS1ON]

That is some SERIOUS spankings they dealt out. :eek:


The full WMSC decision:

“The WMSC has stripped Vodafone McLaren Mercedes of all constructor points in the 2007 FIA Formula 1 World Championship and the team can score no points for the remainder of the season.*

“Furthermore, the team will pay a fine equal to $100m, less the FOM income lost as a result of the points deduction.

“However, due to the exceptional circumstances in which the FIA gave the team’s drivers an immunity in return for providing evidence, there is no penalty in regard to drivers’ points.**

“The WMSC will receive a full technical report on the 2008 McLaren car and will take a decision at its December 2007 meeting as to what sanction, if any, will be imposed on the team for the 2008 season.”

The full reasons for this decision will be issued on 14th September 2007.

*Points gained by other teams so far this season will not be affected.

**No McLaren representative will be allowed on the podium should a McLaren driver win in any of the remaining races of the 2007 season."

bah, it´s ridiculous. In five years nobody will speak about the penalty, everyone will just see that MC Laren "Hamilton" won the WM.
$100m is pocket cash for MC Laren... just peanuts :rolleyes:
They are guilty and the real penalty would be to "Stop the racing cars and the two drivers" for the complete season, *that´s the fact in my opinion.

* or forever :P
