Recommended Posts

BBC NEWS QUOTE: [blockquote]

McLaren chief Ron Dennis was beseiged by the media in Paris

McLaren have been stripped of their points in the 2007 Formula One constructors'

championship after the outcome of the "spygate" row.

The team were also fined a record $100m (£49.2m), [/blockquote]

DO THEY GET 28 DAYS TO PAY?

:@ WHERE THE £UCK DID FIA GET THAT FIGURE OF $100M FROM?

Northern Rock won't loan it to them that's for sure..........

yeah but face it, I'm sure they can afford it...does sound a wee bit harsh though, and as Jackie Stewart said on the news last night, if you're going to dock constructors points surely you should dock dirvers' points as they're essentially the same thing (i.e have resulted from the team effort)

Good find Goth

this completely discourages any future teams from being honest,

Did not McClaren inform the relevent authorities that one of their staff was allegedly corrupt.

Instead of FIA saying well fair enough here is a punishment.

but if you wasn't honest and it happens again A,B & C will happen.

No FIA basically said be honest about any wrongdoings in your own team and we'll absolutely slaughter you,

But you dont say anything and you could get away with it.

thats bollox if stepney is not a current member of the farrari team then any information that he has passed onto another team is he does by himself for this Mr stepney and Mr coughan should be procecuted not mclaren as drivers constantly take other teams secrets to their new teams. this would have happend with alonso taking renaults secrets to mclaren and riikenen taking mclarens secrets to farrari. as for the drivers standings if they were to start taking points off the drivers then the sport would lose millions as there are four drivers in with a shout and not jst alsono and schumacer which happened for the last 3 seasons.

Lets just hope mclaren can pay that fine and dont run into financial difficulties as they are the best of british
