Toby 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 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) Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
pimpcat 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 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 Link to post Share on other sites
